Kanahus Pellkey of the Native Youth Movement
Dec 17: Native Youth Movement
Tonight we syndicate an interview conducted by Healing the Earth. It is with Kanahus Pellkey, who will be coming to Kingston on a Native Youth Movement speaking tour on January 28th, time and location TBA.
“Kanahus Pellkey is a Secwepemc and Ktnuxa warrior who is a spokesperson for the Secwepemc chapter of the Native Youth Movement. The NYM describes themselves as “a Warrior Society for Indigenous Peoples & Native Youth! Our role is to Defend our Peoples and Territories! NYM uses Education, Agitation, and Direct Action to achieve our goals. Our objective is Freedom!”
One of the main issues the NYM has been mobilizing around has been the 2010 Olympics, which has inspired politicians and earth-destroyers to initiate an intense campaign of destruction and displacement. This has seen the further gentrification of the city of Vancouver and the surrounding area, and the destruction of wild areas, habitat for so many beings, in order to make new highways and ski hills… and so much more. There is a growing movement against the 2010 Olympics. Spread the Word!
Also in this interview Kanahus talks about colonialism in Canada, the legacy of genocide that continues today, government anti-terror squad harassment, and how the forces are conspiring for change…. A very powerful interview.”
