Native Youth Movement Statement for Anti-Olympic Campaign

ELDER'S DEATH CAUSED BY GREEDY 2010 OLYMPICS AND ITS ACCOMPLICES

“ALTHOUGH THE VANCOUVER-WHISTLER 2010 WINTER OLYMPICS ARE PLANNED TO TAKE PLACE IN ONLY THE ST’AT’IMC & SQUAMISH TERRITORIES THE NEGATIVE EFFECTS OF THESE GAMES WILL CARRY OUT ONTO OTHER INDIGENOUS TERRITORIES OF THE AREA AND THE AFTERMATH OF THIS WILL CREATE AN INVASION, NOT SEEN SINCE THE GOLD RUSH”-NYM (CANCEL OLYMPIC LEAFLET, 2006)

The Native Youth Movement is calling for a Boycott and Cancellation of the 2010 Winter Olympic Games. The Games are scheduled to take place on un-surrendered Native Land from February 12-27, 2010. The Olympic Games represent a continued history of colonization and Genocide. On Saturday, February 24th, 2007, 2007, 73-year old Pacheedaht Elder and great-grandmother Harriet Nahanee died from health complications stemming from being imprisoned in Surrey Pre-trial hell-hole for 14 days. Harriet Nahanee was locked up by BC Supreme Courts’ evil Madame Justice Brenda Brown because of her role in blocking the expansion of the Sea-to-Sky Highway, which destroyed the area of Eagleridge Bluffs for the 2010 Olympics. We hold the International Olympic Committee (IOC), KKKanada, the Vancouver Olympic Organizing Committee (VANOC) and the sell-out chiefs of "2010 Olympic Host Nations," Mt. Currie, Musquem, Tsleil-Waututh and Squamish responsible for her death. The death of our Elder is nothing short of murder, murdered for games and greed, for fun and amusement. Her fighting spirit is an inspiration to us all and she will never be forgotten.
