| David forwarded the work of Nulankeyutomen Nkihtahkomikumon (We Take Care of Our Land/Save Passamaquoddy Bay) by bringing our issues, our voice, and our request for worldwide unity on preserving, and protecting our lands and waters from environmental threats.
David highlighted issues of human rights and ecological integrity, and thus sacred sites. The plan was for David to put forward our cause by Monday, April 21, so that the weeklong gathering would fully address the issue.
