"This is Coast Salish Territory" - Tyendinaga Solidarity

On Monday April 28th, 2008 Indigenous Warriors on Coast Salish Territory blocked a vital intersection used for commercial shipping to the United States. The action was done in solidarity with the Tyendinaga Mohawk community. Five Warriors from Tyendinaga had been arrested and attacked by the OPP days before. SWAT teams and paramilitary units were on Tyendinaga Territory surrounding dozens of other unarmed Warriors who were peacefully occupying a rock quarry claimed to be on their territory.

Solidarity actions also happened in Six Nations and Guelph. With the mounting pressure from coast to coast, and steadfast position of the Tyendinaga Mohawks the SWAT teams and paramilitary units left Tyendinaga Territory without additional attacks.

Since their arrest, three of the five Warriors have been released on strict bail conditions. Two Warriors, Clint Brant and Shawn Brant are still in state custody.

its kinda ironic because i am mohawk of tyendinaga but i live on coast salish territory and one day i felt like i wanted to protest for no reason

I have nothing against Canadians of non Native descent and the state of Canada. However the sovereing right of the Cost Salish peoples has to be respected. They have been living and trhiving in the so called Fraser Valley since antiquity.
