CLOG THE LINES OF CAPITALISM !!!
MASSIVE CALL-IN TO SUPPORT THE SECWEPEMC

<><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><>
Thursday, September 30th
9h00 - 17h00
Skican Limited
1-800-363-3009
47 de la Commune Ouest
<><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><>

>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 (see below), 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.  "Does Skican really 
make its business by waging colonial warfare?  Fuck that, I'll hitchhike!"; 
or
(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; or
(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.
