Update on Jailed Native Youth Movement Warrior
Native Youth Movement (NYM)
April 5, 2003

A 26 year-old Secwepemc/Ktunaxa Women who must breast feed her 6
month-old baby is being held in jail in british columbia, KKKlanada, for
Defending un-surendered Indian Land!

Native Youth Movement Mother and Warrior, Kanahus Pelkey (slave name:
Amanda Soper) was captured on February 22nd., in Ulkatcho Territory,
ìniham Lake, BC. Police were called in from several RCMP (Royal Canadian
Mounted Police) divisions to hunt Kanahus, her baby, husband and 16
year-old sister down. They were heavily sought after leaving a Bella
Coola hospital with her sisters 7 week-old baby who had passed over to
the spirit world on the morning of the 22nd. As true Indians, they
refused foreign doctors to take their baby, who the hospital tried to
take ownership of, and wrapped the young Warrior up in his cradleboard
and took him to a Sacred place in the mountains for his Ceremonial
burial.

So called ìbritish columbia is all un-surrendered territory, which means
that even under ìCanadian Lawî Indians own 100% of their traditional
Territory (not just Reserves) in the whole Province. Treaties were never
signed! Proving their disregard for their own laws, illegal warrants
were issued for Kanahus Pelkey in winter 2001 after police attacked NYM
Warriors while they were building a home for the winter on
un-Surrendered Secwepemc Medicine and Hunting Grounds. The community
known as Skewlkwekwelt was Re-Occupied in 2000 in order to stop the
expansion of an illegal Ski-resort know as ëSun Peaksî, which is
continuing its Rape of Kanahus Pelkeyís homeland. Police have made over
70 arrests of Indian people at Skwelkwekwelt in their attempts to scare
Indians from even going on their own land, and protecting what little
sustainable recourses there are left.

She is being held in jail not for criminal activity, but to make an
example of what happens to anybody who follows their Traditional ways as
an Original Person. They are showing what extent they are willing to
Oppress Indian People by ripping a Mother away from her baby, who never
left her side since conception. She went through 4 days of hard labor in
the Original Way, on the Land. She would never leave her babyís side;
she never ever had him away from her.

On March 5th she was denied bail in an attempt to break this Strong
example of a True Warrior, and her son, who refuses to drink anything
but his mothers breast milk. He must be with his mother, she must be
with him. Her breast milk is drying up and needs 50$ a week to keep an
electric breast pump in jail with her, so her baby can eat!

While everybody else with charges has been released, or is out on bail
and promise to appears (PTA), Kanahus Pelkey remains imprisoned, showing
they are as willing as ever to rip Indian children from their mothers
breast and lifelines. The foreign Governments have no regard for Indian
Life. You must show them you are watching the Genocide taking place
right under your noses here on Turtle Island. The Indian Wars Are Not
Over! Kanahus Pelkey must be re-united with her son.

Currently attempts are being made to have another bail hearing as soon
as possible, and she is in need of URGENT financial assistance for bail,
as well as the breast ñpump which she uses, then freezes the milk and
gives to her son to take until his next allowed visit. Personal
Reference letters are needed as well as funds for Kanahus Pelkey bail
hearing. You may Western Union donations for bail to her mother Beverley
Manuel, or call her at (250)-679-3413 to make other arrangements. Help
Re-Unite this Strong Indian Mother with her baby! She is imprisoned
because of her fight for all of our Babies and the Survival of Life! She
is able to make collect call and personally inform people on her
situation. If you would like to support and will accept collect calls
contact nymunite at hotmail.com with your contact information and
arrangements will be made to put her in touch with you.

Bo'Matum (Thank You). Please support this Mothers need to be with her
baby! Contact NYM Free Kanahus at: nymunite at hotmail.com
