-Caveat Lector- Please understand that this is not a small dissident faction we are talking about here. This is the NUXALK NATION GOVERNMENT which is taking this position for "collective freedom" saying Canada/BC have NO JURISDICTION. Indeed they don't! If Nuxalk sticks to its guns this could be the first First Nation from Canada to join the UN General Assembly. We'll see. Meanwhile the media censors in Canada play down this situtaion as they have done for years. There is no doubt that it is a media conspiracy against justice. Now, if I were Yugoslavia I would say at the UN that if Kosovo has a right to self-determination so do First Nations in BC. And what about their cross-border territory in the USA? Should USA return it to the BC-side First Nations? I think so.

I have to suspect that there is deliberate censorship on the Nuxalk case because the Nuxalk have said that B.C. AND CANADA HAVE NO JURISDICTION on the Nuxalk Nation. This is different from the Nisga'a Nation to the north which has said that it is "negotiating its way into Confederation". Otherwise I don't know anything about the list fwd except that it is an announcement list so you won't be able to discuss the matter there. You are, however, welcome to discuss it on [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sincerely-FWP. ---------- Forwarded message ---------- Date: Wed, 03 Feb 1999 23:34:41 -0800 From: ernie yacub <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Nuxalk Sentencing Feb 4 9:30am Vancouver courthouse (fwd) Date: Wed, 3 Feb 1999 15:26:09 -0600 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED] From: Forest Action Network <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Nuxalk Sentencing Your presence is requested to support Ista '97's Nuxalk Nation arrestees as sentences are handed down by the colonialists at the Supreme Court of BC. WHEN: TOMORROW! (Feb. 4th, 1999) @ 9:30 AM WHERE: Supreme Court of BC, 800 Howe St. (corner of Smythe and Howe) WHY: Come show your support for the courageous Ista defenders arrested in 1997. Ista is a sacred place for the Nuxalk Nation, where First Woman descended to earth. It is also a spectacular rainforest valley filled with ancient trees and a complex web of life, not yet understood by our science. It is being clearcut by Interfor. FAN and the House of Smayusta (Nuxalk Nation sovereigntists) have been fighting to protect it for almost 4 years. In May of 97, 24 people from the Nuxalk Nation, BearWatch, FAN, Greenpeace and PATH (Peoples' Action for Threatened Habitat) were charged with contempt of court, for disobeying an injunction issued by the Supreme Court- an injuction that is invalid, as the Supreme Court has no jurisdiction over sovereign Nuxalk Territory. We're expecting that Chief Qwatsinas will be sentenced to a significant amount of jail time. as this is the second time he has been arrested for defending Ista.
