Apples, not applause, for AFN chief

Assembly of First Nations national chief Phil Fontaine's news conference in Vancouver on Feb. 18 was disrupted by an anti-Olympics native protester who dumped red apples on the podium. The red on the outside, white on the inside B.C.-grown fruit symbolizes aboriginals who adopt white peoples' values and culture.

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

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

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.

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

@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.

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.
