2010 on Unceded Indian Land!

I will honour my duty to the Creator to protect and defend our way of life at the cost of my blood, if necessary. I refuse to stand by and watch as my people, culture, land and ORIGINAL ways are exterminated by the foreign man..s system! All my actions will be disciplined, proud, courageous and honorable. Guided by our Prophecies, ancestors and Elders, I will uphold the Original instructions of the Creator. I am a spiritual warrior and will participate in and protect our ceremonies and every aspect of our Original Way Of Life. I will fight to return balance to our land and our People. Motivated by the love of my People, and Respect to our True ways, I will embrace Unity, Knowledge, The Way of Peace and True FREEDOM! As a Woman of Native Youth Movement, and the Stàtimc People, I will fight to the best of my ability forever! In the spirit of Crazy Horse, for the Freedom of all Resisting Red Nations!____________________________________________________ ______ The Olympic organizers operate with a budget of almost $2 billion, and other costs to government surpass $6 billion. Despite all the Olympic-related mega development, Vancouver is now home to North America’s fastest growing homelessness crisis. Indigenous people account for 30% of this homeless population, despite making up only 2% of the total population in the province. Dozens of low-income hotels and apartment buildings are being converted to unaffordable condominiums. As thousands of people are forced from their homes, they are then criminalized for being homeless. Private security firms are hired by the city to further police the streets, long-running squats are shut down, and social services are more stressed and threatened than ever. The solution of the municipal and provincial governments and the police is to ignore the root cause, and instead pay people to leave Vancouver and repress those who stay. The darker side of the 2010 Olympics is further apparent by examining how their sponsors and supporters are some of the most destructive companies on Turtle Island. These include: • Petro-Canada, one of Canada’s largest producers of oil and gas, • TransCanada, one of the continent’s largest transporters of oil and gas, • Canadian Pacific Railway, long an integral tool of colonization, • Hudson’s Bay Company, another company responsible for the colonization and theft of Indigenous land, • General Electric, one of the world’s top three producers of military aircraft engines and major producer of nuclear power plants, • General Motors, long a top contractor for the Canadian military and now the world’s largest automobile manufacturer, • Dow Chemical, the world’s second largest chemical manufacturer and cause of the Bhopal, India disaster, • Bell Canada, who’s CEO is one of the top corporate architects of the Security and Prosperity Partnership.THIS IS WAR! We are in the midst of a war between greed and future, progress and nature, Genocide and Freedom, good and evil. WE ARE GOOD. THE SYSTEM IS EVIL. THE EARTH WILL WIN.In 2002, a 76-year old Secwepemc Elder Irene Billy went to Europe with Ske7cis Manuel to submit an official submission request to the International Olympic Committee, to not choose BC, Vancouver-Whistler for the bid of the 2010 Olympic Games. She represented all the grassroots Indigenous People, the Earth and the generations not yet born. The International Olympic Committee did not listen to her and we know they will not listen to us either, but we had to ask, so that when the Olympics is stopped by other means than talking, the World cannot say, “Why didn’t you just ask?”So today we will ask all of our People and allies in the Struggle to voice your support for the Anti-Olympics Coalition and Movement. All of those who say they oppose the continued Genocide of Indigenous Peoples, now is when we need to hear it. Voice your opposition, when you do not speak up against injustice and Genocide you are an accomplice to it.We send a special request to all those progressive Movements, individuals and organizations in BC to unite and write statements supporting the Anti-Olympic Movement: Wasase Movement, CIPO-VAN, Other Campaign Vancouver, Western Wilderness Committee, Greenpeace, Anti-War Coalition, Redwire, United Native Nations, Union of BC Indian Chiefs, Indigenous Network of Economics and Trade (INET), David Suzuki, Steve Nash and all those who still use oxygen to breathe we hope to unite with you. If not, your silence will speak a million words. You can’t be a logger and love trees.For the enemies of the Earth, sleep well now. The future will be a long hard fight! Your time is running very short! The torrential rains will join us in this battle! Pray for rain! Native Youth Movement Red Power! Long live the Zapatistas! Long live the Warrior Society!
