Native Warriors Claim Responsibility for Taking Olympic Flag

March 7, 2007
Coast Salish Territory [Vancouver, Canada]

In the early morning hours of Tuesday, March 6, 2007, we removed the Olympic Flag
from its flag-pole at Vancouver City Hall. We pried open the access panel on the pole
with a crowbar and, using a bolt-cutter, cut the metal cable/halyard inside, causing the
flag to fall to the ground.

We claim this action in honour of Harriet Nahanee, our elder-warrior, who was given a
death sentence by the BC courts for her courageous stand in defending Mother Earth.

We stand in solidarity with all those fighting against the destruction caused by the 2010
Winter Olympic Games.

No Olympics on Stolen Native Land!
