"WE ARE CALLING ALL SIX NATIONS YOUTH, ALL YOUTH EVERYWHERE, ALL PEOPLE, ALL ALLIES TO SPEAK UP AND SUPPORT THE YOUTH ON FRIDAY AT 9AM AT THE SUPERIOR COURT OF JUSTICE IN BRANTFORD!!!"

-Six Nations Youth Reclamation.

Following in the footsteps of Caledonia and Brantford, Six Nations Elected Council is seeking an injunction to forcefully remove Six Nations Youth from the site of the Old Police Station, which they have been peacefully occupying in Ohsweken for near...ly 3 months.

Melissa Elliott & Wesley Elliott were served with the notice of application for an injunction on Thursday August 11th at the site of the Youth Reclamation by 5-6 cops and reports of OPP in the area (other persons named in the injunction, Tahnee Wilson and Skyler Williams, have yet to be served).

Today, February 28 2011, is the 5th year anniversary of the land reclamation at Kanonhstaton in Caledonia, Ontario. Yesterday, solidarity activists and and local residents were asked by members of Six Nations to be present to help protect this land from bitter, over-colonized settlers. The Freudian aim of these settlers was to erect a monument on the reclaimed land asking for an apology from Six Nations, the Ontario Provincial Police and the Ontario Provincial Government for what they call 'unfair treatment of white residents during the occupation.'

AW@Lers and other allies in KW joined with the hundreds who marched and held vigil in toronto to honour and demand justice for over 500 murdered or missing indigenous womyn. Starting at queens park, the crowd gathered to the sound of drums and then listened to speakers and singers before heading off on the march.

winding through the downtown, the march stopped several times at importantly shameful locations like the catholic children aids society, or police headquarters.

after about 2 hours of marching, we ended up at allen gardens (no searches on the way in this time...) where a candle light vigil was underway.

pictures and story up on the TMC soon...
