This is a CALL TO ACTION. Canada portrays itself as a "peaceful
multicultural" society when in fact, Canada is responsible for an
ongoing assault on the identities, lives, and lands of the Original
Peoples of these lands. In light of recent mainstream media smears and
intimidation tactics and police/military threats against the Six
Nations people, lets us demonstrate once more that our peoples do have
power when we stand together and communicate with our feet and our
shouts in the streets of Vancouver, in the occupied territories of the
Coast Salish.

If everyone remembers the good feelings we all had on April 26th, the
glimpse of unity we had when 400-500 of us took the streets of Vancouver
and blocked the Lions Gate Bridge, we demanded an end to state violence
and the racist provocation against Six Nations and all Indigenous
peoples.

Let us do that again on July 1st, and shame Canada for all that it
has done and continues to do against Indigenous peoples.

This is Indigenous Land. This is Occupied Coast Salish Territory!
