In 2010, Canada will host at least three major events with a significant
international profile. These are the Winter Olympics, the G8 meetings and
the Security and Prosperity Partnership meetings. Even though these events
are two years or more away, numerous groups have already begun violent
activities and further organization. All of this may occur against the
background of a troubled global picture that will have further
radicalizing effects here in Canada. Key among those issues are Canada’s
role in the NATO mission in Afghanistan, the ongoing war in Iraq, as well
as a series of issues and events related to the so-called “War on Terror.”
Warriors Complete 20+ Tour Against 2010 Olympics
posted February 29th, 2008 by roadkingstonTwo Warriors from the Native Youth Movement (NYM) have just completed a 20 stop speaking tour against the 2010 Winter Olympics planned to be held in unceded Coast Salish Territories (Vancouver/Whistler, british columbia, klanada). They travelled through Mohawk, Annishinabe, Algonquin, Seneca, Cayuga, Penobscott, and Wampanoag Territories. They went to Sharbot Lake and heard of the Struggle against Uranuim Mining, to Tyenindega and heard of the Struggle against the continued invasion into their territory and occupation to close down a rock quarry, to Kanawake and heard about the european invasion surrounding their community, Akwesasne fighting Home Land Security invading their Territory trying to lock down the fake boarder that runs through their community and to Six Nations and there fight against illegal development on their land.
They went to 11 major cities (so-called Montreal, Toronto, Hamilton, Kingston, Peterborough, Ottawa, Portland, Boston, MA, Binghamton, NY Ithaca, NY, Guelph,) and various Native communities. NYM were Nation building, networking, and making alliances to Unite our Struggles for Land, Freedom and Life and Survival. Kanahus Pelkey of the Secwepemc/Ktnuxa Nation, and Dustin Johnson of the Ts’mksiyen Nation represented their respective Nations proudly and did the much needed groundwork to gather support against not only the 2010 Olympics but for the Native Liberation Movement in so called ‘north amerikkka’. In the last week of the tour NYM members from the Mohawk and Annishinabe Nations joined their west coast comrades to spread the word and show that Warriorz are United East to West, North to South. Thanks to all those who made this possible.
