END THE RACIST HARASSMENT AGAINST THE MAKAH AND
OTHER NATIVE PEOPLE OF WASHINGTON
URGENT MOBILIZATION AGAINST RACISM
COUNTER PROTEST AGAINST THE RACIST ANTI-MAKAH RALLY
SATURDAY, JUNE 5TH, 5 PM TO 7 PM
WESTLAKE PLAZA, DOWNTOWN SEATTLE, WA
An anti-Makah rally has been called for Saturday, June 5th. We are
calling for a counter protest by all anti-racists that can come out.
The so-called environmental anti-whaling groups under the leadership
of Paul Watson and Sea Shepherd and their alliance with far rightwing
racists like Jack Metcalf have created a state of affairs in which, not only
are the Makahs being greatly harassed (included continuous death
threats) but so are Native people throughout this state. The Puyallups,
Muckleshoots and the Tulalips have recieved death threats. A Makah
man was beaten on a ferry by a group of white men and is now confined
to a wheelchair. Native people are being refused service in a number of
businesses in Port Angeles. In newspapers and on tv and radio racism
against Native people is flourishing. It is time for the anti-racist people of
the northwest to stand up to this extreme ugliness that is treating our
communities.
Sea Shepherd, the Sea Defense Alliance (of the Earth First!
movement), PAWS and other such organizations are being used by the
anti-tribal people in their drive to do away with the Native treaties. This is
not about one whale or whales in general. For if it were these groups
would be more concerned about the over 80 gray whales that have died
this year and washed up on beaches from Baja to Canada. If they
looked into that they would more than likely find out that the real threat
to gray whales, is not the Makahs, but rather the white industrialized
society based upon greed.
Please join us in making a statement to these people that there are
many here in the northwest who will stand up to their racist agenda!
