Apples, not applause, for AFN chief

[SPS148669]

This is tame compared to a country like Ukraine where there was smoke bombs and fists fights when their own people could not get along.

[thejakenixon]

I would have probably just picked up an apple and taken a bite out of it.

[andr00123]

LOLS

[6Nations4life]

AFN is selling out all Indigenous people. this must stop lets continue the Resistance well after the Olympics and keep it going. For the sake of our Children and Grand Children. cause one day something much worst is going to happen or they will try to take our reservations. and we cant sit back and let it happen.

boycott the AFN lets not allow them to represent any Indigenous people in KKKanata.

Nya:wen ko:wa.

[lukeomatic10000]

Nice Response Phil.

[chapplets]

mother land won't be detroyed by the olympics! if anything it give the chance for natives to better themselves by creating jobs and opputunities to obtain deploma's like in carpentrie but most of u probally won't and will end up on the streets like she said! but not because of the goverment but because of ur own selves!! but don't worry if u get hurt the goverment is still offering free health care!!!

[chapplets]

Wasted apples!!! LOL get a job girl!!

[1988badger]

phil fontaine, your an asshole to say that the olympics brings opportunities is absolutely ridiculous!! NO OLYMPICS ON STOLEN NATIVE LAND!! PROTECT MOTHER EARTH!!

[heraldosurpriz]

Phil Fontaine is a dick-head and he's whiter than me.

[wovokanarchy]

@heraldosurpriz You wish to have his ''dick in your head"? Those little urban Indians have probably never been on a First Nations reserve let alone in the woods. Poseurs.

[1knickerbocker1]

a GREAT EXAMPLE of DEMOCRACY!

I admire the people present how PEACEFULLY they react to the demonstration.

THANKS Canada!

[Indigence]

Canadian citizen Phil Fontaine & his chiefs pretend to speak for us. They have been placed in this position by their boss, the Canadian government under imposed Canadian laws.

They are paid by Canada . They report to Canada .  They do not report to us or represent us in any sense of the word.

[lukeomatic10000]

faggot!!!!!!

[Indigence]

In making these demands, we publicly disassociate ourselves from the so-called aboriginal leader from Canada, "Chief" Phil Fontaine, who will appear with the Pope as part of this "apology". Mr. Fontaine does not represent aboriginal people in Canada, but serves the Canadian government. He never consulted our elders or any aboriginal people before going to Rome.

[lukeomatic10000]

FUCK YOU!!! DOUCHEBAAG!!!!!

[Utube7372009]

You go girl..we need more people like this to fight for our rights.

[carisiabonita]

White supremacists, karma is a fcukin bitch~

[Indigence]

We want to cook! The rest of you do not own this land!

Although the word "chief" in American English has become widely associated with indigenous Americans, the word is actually much older

than the white people's arrival in America. It is derived from the Latin word "kaput," which meant "head."

Like most English words derived from Latin, "chief" came to us by way of French, which explains why it is so similar to "chef," which is

short for "chef de cuisine," meaning "head of the kitchen."

[Pyromaniac551]

you want to hunt and fish???...buy a licence like the rest of us

[Utube7372009]

lol we dont need one idiot our people have been here for thousands of years where do you get off telling our people we have to have a license to fish and hunt you have no juristiction over our ways so shut up.

[lukeomatic10000]

STUPID SHUNOFABITCH!!!!

[Indigence]

Of those living in SRO hotels, 77 per cent have an income of less than $15,000 a year; 79 per cent have health problems, with 47 per cent reporting multiple health problems; and 52 per cent said they use drugs, with 28 per cent using frequently. Of those living in social housing, 72 per cent have incomes under $15,000 a year; 75 per cent have health problems, with 37 per cent reporting multiple problems; and 15 per cent use drugs.

[Indigence]

While abject poverty and rampant drug addiction are obvious to anyone who ventures into the Downtown Eastside, the extent of reported health problems appears to have caught the survey's administrators off-guard.

[Indigence]

"People's health is worse than it was during the [last] study [six years ago]," says Kathleen Boyes, executive director of the Neighbourhood Housing Society, which helped prepare the survey. "

[john193b]

Good for the sisters involved in some principled resistance against corrupt leaders and politicos.

[SPS148669]

Why do they want to remain "PRIMITIVE" I am native and I think so should modernised but in a way that reflects or traditional values like"envirementtal protection" We should run our own busseness to make money but spend the profits on solar panels,wind energy that brings us modern technology but also reflects tradiional enviremental beleifs, while the european/asians blow there profits on polluting big SUV and run there technology off fossil fuels all beacause of GREED and to show off richness

[Indigence]

Treaties concluded through bribery and with colonial puppets,instead of with valid representatives of our people, are not legal.

[tacheechoo]

I personally don't give a shit about the Olympics.

[phalanxagain]

This is so awkward.

LOL at 1:29-"The Olympics kills people!" and then she pulls up her pants and looks momentarily confused like she just realized she is in the wrong room.

[millerrox2008]

Mr Fontaine scared up by a little school girl? Sad.....

[nakama453]

That woman is probably autistic.

[zeezclub]

there's more to this.....she is right....the man in the middle in the photo op is Stephen Harper's man...he's a conservative idiot....has Fontain sold us out!! It's beginning to appear that way!!

[zeezclub]

fn men sitting around and laughing at these young women....one man says...you're only one person!! They ignored her and the other women...just like the colonialist!!

[nakama453]

That woman is probably autistic.

[brendancross]

This is the first I've known of this incident. I believe interrupting a speech in front of the media is not a good way to make friends- I know because I've tried it. Now I write letters instead.

[fooooseball]

Mr. Fontaine handled himself respectably. He didn't prevent the First Nations people from having their voice heard. He did say Nothing is perfect, no one can dispute that. AFN attempts to fulfil its mandate, is AFN perfect? No. Nothing is, as Mr Fontaine has so eloquently pointed out. Is the province of British Columbia perfect? No. Is the framework that everyone in society has to reference from perfect? No. SO, Mr. Fontaine wasn't lying. Or was he? Just kidding!

[zeezclub]

there's more to this.....she is right....the man in the middle in the photo op is Stephen Harper's man...he's a conservative idiot....has Fontain sold us out!! It's beginning to appear that way!!

[fooooseball]

i hate to be the bearer of bad news but some folks don't get involved in lobbyist actions at the national level to effect qualitative change but more along to hav some liquid assets they can dispense with at any given moment, say, hmmm, at christmas time: a trip to bermuda or the bahamas, perhaps. what i'm saying, is, it's the economy; and people make life choices and decisions as a result: it's sad i'm just sayin

[djrezzed]

she sounds chinese at the beginning..how do the olympics kill people..where were the security?..a radical like this should not be that close to a public figure..hope they fine the woman.!!

[ThaLexatron]

hehehe sellouts.

[mtbrewmle]

the olympics is about sports and people and we get to share the experience with them. If you are about the land then get out there and start managing it like we are supposed to. Going to Phil and protesting is not what our inherent right is. Wasting apples like that is childish you should have given them to the homeless people.

[faithnolan]

Go Sister you are telling the truth the olympics is about more money for the rich . She is about the land the water, saving the earth. she is brave and truthful

[jbfontaine79]

Who is this crazy lady!!! Wasting good fruit I guess she doesn't eat fruit lol....

If she is so worried about her land and drinking water do something about it instead of doing some childish prank.....

[thughboy]

WE ALL SOLD OUT ONE WAY OR ANOTHER!!!
