Green Guerrillas met up with Kanahus and Dustin on their TAKE BACK THE LAND tour in 2008... we talked about Indigenous sovereignty, stolen land, and why the 2010 Winter Olympic Games in Vancouver is a threat to all people and the planet...
excerpt from no2010.com... Why We Resist the 2010 Winter Olympics
No Olympics on Stolen Land BC remains largely unceded and non-surrendered Indigenous territories. According to Canadian law, BC has neither the legal nor moral right to exist, let alone claim land and govern over Native peoples. Despite this, and a fraudulent treaty process now underway, the government continues to sell, lease and develop Native land for the benefit of corporations, including mining, logging, oil & gas, and ski resorts. Meanwhile, Indigenous peoples suffer the highest rates of poverty, unemployment, imprisonment, police violence, disease, suicides, etc.
Ecological Destruction Despite claims to be the greenest Olympics ever, and PR statements about sustainability, the 2010 Olympics will be among the most environmentally destructive in history, with tens of thousands of trees cut down & mountainsides blasted for Olympic venues in the Callaghan Valley (near Whistler) & the Sea-to-Sky Highway expansion. In the summer of 2007, a record number of black bears were hit on the Sea-to-Sky Highway, with at least 11 dying (attributed to loss of habitat). Massive amounts of concrete used in construction have also caused millions of Salmon to die in the Fraser River, where tons of gravel are being mined to make concrete.

Don't blame you guys, this is your job, this is how you ask for social awareness. Without so called "intruder" I doubt you can film what you are filming, post whatever that is on youtube and seriously, don't even dream about civilization, because you all are so good to the environment.
kanadian First Nations Peoples were lied to manipulated and forced to give up our Traditions, as we thought and trusted the "Goverment" in what they promised us. AS LONG AS THE SUN SHINES AND THE RIVERS FLOW, AND THE GRASS GROWS. That the Goverment would HONOR their Written Areement that they would put us on reserves and they would only use 6 INCHES of our land to grow there crops and 6 Feet to bury their Dead!!!
Culture, tradition, and borders are all fluid concepts and are not constants. Since we are applying modern concepts, law...etc to the debate, Canada belongs to China if we want to follow this course of discussion. I know it sounds cruel to say, but when are the natives going to realize that they have been conquered?
Want to know why youre land was stolen? Because you're a weak and dying breed.
This is only going to further isolate you from the rest of the population and cause more discrimination. Good job morons. You can quit you're crying any time now.
@Ishfayanmay You know why you aren't being slapped around by the Chinese and forced to dig ditches in Saskatchewan? It's because the USA has weapons of mass destruction protecting your pimply Canuck arse. Real big of you to crow about the theft of other people's land. It's a sign of a diseased and rotten brain.
Ironically the only nation to attempt to invade our land is the US. As for the US military protecting us....oh god we are screwed. As Iraq has proved that 10,000 or so lightly armed rebels can effectively neutralize the US military
