NAPANEE — The spokesman in a Mohawk protest at a Deseronto quarry is out on bail on the condition he not participate in any unlawful protests. Shawn Brant has been ordered to keep the peace and not participate in any protests that block roads, railways or other thoroughfares on or off Tyendinaga Mohawk Territory. He will appear in court again June 26. Brant is charged with mischief, disobeying a court order and breach of recognizance in connection with a 30-hour blockade of a Canadian National rail line April 20. The warrant for his arrest was issued five days later.
“No Olympics on stolen Native land” has become the battle cry for Indigenous resistance to the Vancouver Olympics by Hillary Bain Lindsay. The Dominion
As the Vancouver Olympics approach, the building of highways, condos, and resorts have accelerated on land that Indigenous activists say is unceded territory. The official website of the 2010 Olympics touts the “historic” and “unprecedented” participation of First Nations in the Vancouver games. According to the site, the collaboration between the Vancouver Olympic Committee (VANOC) and Aboriginals will include increased opportunities to “showcase art, language, traditions, history and culture” and “promote skills development and training related to the games.” This kind of “trinket and bead exchange†is beside the point, says Kanahus Pellkey of the Secwepemc (Shuswap) Nation. “We’re still fighting for our homeland.” “No Olympics on stolen Native land” has become the battle cry for Indigenous resistance to the Games — resistance that has found allies in those angered by what they call the devastating social and environmental implications of the Olympics– and has drawn its resonance from the fact that much of B.C. remains unceded Indigenous territory.

OTTAWA — Radical natives are listed in the Canadian army’s counterinsurgency manual as a potential military opponent, lumping aboriginals in with the Tamil Tigers, Hezbollah and the Islamic Jihad. The military is putting the finishing touches on the manual, but a draft version of the document obtained by The Globe and Mail outlines a host of measures the military might use to fight insurgents at home and abroad. The measures include ambushes, deception and killing.
