Two 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.

For the past 4 months Albert Douglas has sat isolated within a cell, otherwise called solitary, after an arrest by racist pigs on HW 401 on Sept. 27, 2007. The Kanadian government has had a hit out on his head, accusing him of assault, attempted murder, robbery and unlawful confinement, among other charges. They have held him against his will in an internment camp Kanada traditionally used for it’s poor, located at 165 Barton st. on occupied land called Hamilton. They have routinely ransacked his cell, searching for and stealing his belongings. As well as this theft, they have forcefully searched his person. They constantly watch and record his every action with video and audio surveillance. Read the rest of this entry »

Are you interested in exploring alternative methods to education? Come out to a meeting for a Free School project! We hope to address the different ways traditional classroom settings exclude and marginalize “students” who do not fit into what a typical or good student is, by offering an alternative educational space.

We are planning to have a meeting on Wednesday February 27th at 7pm in the Boucher Room of the downtown public library (130 Johnson St) to bring together individuals and community organizations who are interested in exploring this idea further and how we might achieve it. Please rsvp to freeschool[at]riseup.net. If we have more people attending than the room can hold, we may need to change the location of the meeting.
