   INTERNATIONAL STATEMENT NATIVE YOUTH MOVEMENT VOW TO STOP THE THEFT OF
PURE GLACIER MOUNTAIN WATER FROM BEING STOLEN AND SOLD TO THE MIDDLE
EAST The Native Youth Movement is at battle again with the illegal
governments of BC and Canada and their illegal extraction of our most
valuable neccessity, WATER.  The grassroots traditional Secwepemc
People have voiced their opposition to a proposal pushed by a
foreigner, invader to divert 4 creeks in the Adams Lake area, UNCEDED
SECWEPEMC TERRITORY, to bottle water and sell it to the Middle East. 
These 4 creeks are at the end of a dirt back-road, purposely built to
extract water for illegal theft and sale to the worldwide market.  It
is one of the last intact watersheds, with no clearcutting because the
road stops there.  This is one of thousands of proposed illegal thefts
of our Secwepemc Lands and Water. Native Youth Movement have occupied
the government office that sells stolen Land and Water, the 'land and
water bc inc.', formerly called 'bc assets and land corp.', in the
passed and will take necessary action to bring attention to this
illegal theft by this Invaders system and government.  Our land has
never been sold to anyone.  We have never signed Treaties and NEVER
will-THIS LAND IS OUR LAND, SECWEPEMC LAND!  OUR WATER IS NOT FOR
SALE!!! STOP THE THEFT OF OUR HOMELAND! BC IS ONE OF THE LAST PLACES
LEFT WITH PURE GLACIER MOUNTAIN WATER, THAT WE CAN DRINK RIGHT FROM THE
CREEKS. AMERIKKKA DISPOSES OF 2.5 MILLION TONS OF PLASTIC WATER BOTTLES
EVERY HOUR.  BOTTLED WATER IS NOT THE SOLUTION!  OUR WORLD WATER
SITUATION IS IN A CRISIS---YOU CANNOT EXPECT TO SURVIVE UNLESS YOU
STRUGGLE TO PRESERVE AND DEFEND THIS SACRED LIFE, LAND AND WATER WE
WERE GIVEN.  YOU CAN'T JUST SIT IN THE CITY OR REZ AND BUY STOLEN WATER
AND THINK THE CREATOR WILL SPARE YOUR LIFE WHEN THE PURIFICATION COMES.
 GET ON THE FRONTLINES OF RESISTANCE--DEFEND OUR SACRED WATER.  
SUPPORT THE TRADITIONAL SECWEPEMC PEOPLES AND THEIR FIGHT TO DEFEND
THEIR WATER AND MOUNTAINS.  STAY TUNNED FOR UPCOMING ACTIONS AND
SOLIDARITY ACTIONS THAT CAN BE TAKEN.
