- "Aboriginal leaders warned officials of the planned Cheviot coal mine Thursday they could have another Oka on their hands if the site cuts across ancient burial grounds. "It's a sacred area for our people," said Jean Aquash, wife of Peter O'Chiese, leader of the O'Chiese First Nation. But they don't want to hear anything about the Indians."
