On Friday, April 4th, 2003, four search warrants were issued by
J.N. Asen, Judicial Justice of the Peace in Burnaby, BC. The
invasion occurred four days later, on Tuesday, April 8th, 2003.

Four houses were raided and two places of work, in Nuxalk
Territory (Bella Coola, BC), and Secwepemc Territory
(Chase, BC). Their mission: Get the Communications of the
Native Youth Movement.

The House of Aloosta, Nuxalkmc NYM Warrior was raided in
Bella Coola.

They took one computer, an old lab top, every computer disc
they could find, two camcorder cassette tapes, many papers,
address books, and videotaped and took pictures all over the
house. NYM Warrior Hawk was arrested and is currently being
held with no charges. Then went and took two computers from
Aloostas place of work and took two computers and everything
that had phone numbers and email addresses.

At the same time ERT units with M-16 machine guns went to the
Neskonlith Indian Reserve, outside of Chase BC with a classic
blank warrant. As they surrounded the residence, they said
Open up, we have a suspicion of weapons. They stormed the
house, rounding up everyone in the living room, including
Kanahus Pelkeys baby, and threatened arrest if anyone crossed
invisible lines. The police searched the people making the women
lift up their shirts while the male pervert officers stood around and
watched.

The police searched the whole house. Other people from the
reserve Started coming to the house. One NYM Warrior tried
to come into the house, but the police handcuffed her, arrested
her and put her in the police car. The charge is unclear or
unknown. She was later released.The Police started coming out
of the house with computers and much paperwork and files.
They took three computers and two laptops, every file they could
find, address books, and the rest was not specified. Later a
second warrant shows up and among all the physical
communications, the warrant also included the right to decode
passwords and email.

Next, they moved in on a trailer, which they had NO warrant for,
and busted down the door with a battering ram, coming out with
one Computer, some papers, files, disks and searched the whole
trailer.

They also raided a place of business on the Reserve where they
took one computer, papers, files and disks. To finish off a good
day off harassing the local Savagez, they went to the house of an
NYM Advisor, and took his computer, paperwork, disks, and
files.

At the end of the day, the Invaders had all our contacts,
computers, new NYM Magazine, one Warrior in their grips, and
much other information they view as useful. While many of their
tactics of Oppression have changed over the years, the tactics
that work at destabilizing and neutralizing Movement have not.
At the end of the raids on the Niskonlith reserve, one of the cops
said loudly "This was a blast, well do it again sometime." And
they will. As long as our people are within their reach, they will
do all they can to grab us, because we stand in the way of their
Progress, which really means destruction, Death. Native People
are still viewed as Hostile when we refuse to give up our Lives.

We will not let their weak attempts of intimidation sidetrack our
purpose, it act as motivation and fire under our feet to live free
from Oppression and Invasion, as Beautiful Red Nations. The
time for Unity is now! They can take all of what we physically
have, but they can never take our Warrior Spirit! Let our
common connection with the Earth and the love for our People
be our communications to each other. They can only stop us if
we let them. We wont. Warriorz Unite! We Are Wolves,
