The threat was made in a letter to the Indigenous Missionary Council, in which the Indians also said they would not abide by the decision of the court. The Indians say they are not going to leave the region they call tekoha, which means ancestral cemetery.

They also asked the court to secure their right to be buried at the location, so that even in death, they would remain in their homeland.
