The National Day of Action against Delta Hotels and Sun Peaks expansion
took place on September 23 in Montreal, Toronto, Vancouver, Winnipeg,
Calgary, Saksatoon, and PEI.
Supporters in Montreal have initiated an economic boycott of Ski-Can and
support across North Amerika is crucial to sustain the resistance and
movement for indigenous sovereignty.

CLOG THE LINES OF CAPITALISM !!!
MASSIVE CALL-IN TO SUPPORT THE SECWEPEMC
<><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><>
Thursday, September 30th
9h00 - 17h00
Skican Limited
1-800-363-3009
<><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><>
>From colonial Canada to the Usurped States, people will be phoning in on
the 30th of September to hit Skican where it hurts!
Skican Limited is the only distributor of travel packages to Sun Peaks Ski
Resort, so they are just as guilty for the racist and violent theft of
Secwepemc territories, known as Skwelkwek'welt, land that has never been
ceded, released, or surrendered.
Join us as we phone in to disrupt the profiteering off of Native land in
one of three (or more!) ways:
(1) Ask to make a reservation. Ask lots of questions, find out all the
details, plan a two-week trip down to the last meal, and then mention that
you heard something about Sun Peaks being stolen land.
(2) Ask to make a reservation. Ask questions the call taker won't know,
and then ask to speak to the manager. Tell him that if they don't stop
doing business with theives and goons, you'll never buy through Skican
again
(3) Just try talking with the call taker about what's happening in
Skwelkwek'welt (Sun Peaks) and say that you really can't support that kind
of violence against peaceful people just protecting their home.

===========================================================
The Secwepemc peoples are now fighting an additional $285 million
expansion (proposed in 2004) of Sun Peaks Resort that includes
development of luxury hotels, tennis courts, and a massive real estate
business that is stealing Aboriginal territories through lucrative resort
and sport tourism. Over the last six years, the Secwepemc have attended
various "stakeholder" meetings and clearly said "NO!" to the further
expansion of the Resort.
The Skwelkwek'welt defenders are building and residing in yet another
permanent structure off-reserve on traditional territories (adjacent to
Sun Peaks golf course) as an assertion of their inherent and legal
Aboriginal Title, despite the brutal police, government and corporate
harassment they constantly face, along with the imminent risk of arrest.
They have been served with a Trepass Notice as well a court injunction
(sought by Sun Peaks) and face forcible removal from their lands in the
coming week.
It is time for all those opposed to the Canadian colonial system and
corporate globalization to support, through concrete actions of
solidarity, the rights of the Secwepemc people fighting state & corporate
violence in British Columbia.
