From Rights Action (http://www.rightsaction.org/video/elest or/): On January 8th and 9th 2007, hundreds of police and soldiers in Guatemala forcibly evicted the inhabitants of several communities who were living on lands that a Guatemalan military government had granted to Canadian mining company INCO in 1965. Local indigenous people claim the land to be theirs, and resent the exploitation of a foreign corporation. Canada's Skye Resources now lays claim to the land, and paid workers a nominal sum to destroy people's homes. With the force of the army and police, company workers took chainsaws and torches to people's homes, while women and children stood by. Skye Resources claims that they maintained "a peaceful atmosphere during this action."

I've watched alot of American Indians movies and istening to this brave lady speak at 4:10 was like watching what the American indains went thru with their lands being stolen for gold (MINUS) the Killing, Raping, and Sickness. I thought the world would have learnd a lession about things like this. I will pray for these people.
