Notice of Illegal Trespass: because of their refusal to return the remains of the children who died in their Indian residential

Update from Kevin Annett and The International Human Rights Tribunal into Genocide in Canada

October 5, 2008
Squamish Nation Territory

Greetings from the ancestral land of Chief Kiapilano and his people!

This morning, groups of residential school survivors will be posting and distributing notices at all of the main downtown churches in "Vancouver", declaring to the officials and members of the Catholic, Anglican and United churches that they are illegally trespassing on Squamish Nation land and are now subject to arrest and imprisonment under both Squamish and British Columbia law. (see statement at the end of this Update)

This bold act is a sign of the times, of how far some survivors have evolved in their campaign to win justice from the churches that murdered 50,000 innocent children.

"It's time for the churches that killed our people to get off our land" hereditary Squamish Chief Kiapilano declared last March, when he formally evicted the "Gang of Three" (Catholic, Anglican, United) churches from his territory, which encompasses all of Vancouver, the north shore and Whistler, the site of the 2010 Olympics.

Chief Kiapilano commented yesterday,

"We're tired of waiting for the churches to be held accountable for all their crimes, because they never will be unless we do it. So I've declared the convening of traditional Squamish courts of justice in which we'll put on trial the heads of these churches and known offenders at residential schools.

"The trials start immediately. We will be issuing arrest warrants against the church officials. I am calling on other hereditary chiefs will do the same thing on their territories: evict the murderers from your land and bring them to trial!"

Chief Kiapilano is not acting alone. More than two dozen groups are now working across "Canada" in conjunction with Chief Kiapilano and our International Human Rights Tribunal, which has arisen as an alternative to the phoney, toothless, government-run "Truth and Reconciliation Commission" (TRC) into residential schools. (The TRC has no power to subpoena, prohibits people from naming names or even describing a wrongdoing at a residential school, will not conduct any criminal investigation, and was set up by the very churches that ran the schools!).

Our Tribunal has been recognized by a host of indigenous groups in Guatemala, the Philippines, Mexico and Europe, some of whom will be sending international observers to our forums and investigations over the next year, especially as we begin to unearth the forensic evidence in mass graves near former Indian residential schools.

In a nutshell, the direction of our campaign now has three main foci:

1. Create a counter-Tribunal to the government's "TRC" that will hold alternative hearings to the TRC forums, and will publish a "Counter Report" to the TRC's anticipated whitewash of residential school crimes. (At our forums, we will encourage people to name names, and provide evidence of all the crimes that went on in the schools).

2. Identify and repatriate the buried remains of the children who died in all the Indian residential schools.

3. Evict the Catholic, Anglican and United Church from all indigenous territories across Canada, reclaim their buildings, and establish in them aboriginal courts of justice where known offenders and the fiduciary head officers of these churches, the RCMP and the government of Canada will be tried and sentenced for crimes against humanity, including murder.

If this sounds like a tall order, know that actions are already happening in many territories to bring about this sovereignty and direct justice. (We can't say where and how, quite yet, for security reasons, but if you write or call me I will put you in touch with organizers in your area, who will tell you more!)

Our strength lies on the ground, in our communities, among the survivors and their families who know that they have been used and abandoned by the whorish "Assembly of First Nations" (AFN) and other puppet native politicians, who serve the government and the churches first and last.

It's among these survivors that I have been travelling, speaking, and organizing throughout 2008, in five separate tours across Canada and the USA. I've also been to Europe, where we are rallying forces to support our International Tribunal, and bring charges against Canada and its churches at the UN and other bodies.

It's because of this grassroots movement that the government caved in last year, and began admitting that thousands of children died in the residential schools. We have forced the feds and the churches to the wall, and they are doing their best now to bury their guilt (with help from the AFN) and worm their way out of any responsibility for the mass murder that Steven Harper admitted to publicly in his "apology" last June 11 in Parliament.

It's up to us to prevent them from getting away with the biggest crime in Canadian, and world, history.

Someone asked me today is I was going to vote in the Canadian election, or speak up at all candidates' meetings about the Canadian Holocaust.

I replied by saying,

"Why would I vote for the system that is murdering my friends every day?"

(Yesterday, I met Harry Wilson, an Alberni residential school survivor, who told me that three of his family have overdosed and died after receiving their paltry "compensation" for years of torture in the Alberni United Church school).

The murder goes on. But one of our best weapons is our film UNREPENTANT, which has been seen by nearly a million people worldwide, and tells the story of planned genocide in Canada. Please arrange a screening of it in your community and use it to rally people to our movement. (see www.hiddenfromhistory.org for details of how to order and download it).

From mid October to mid November, I'll be conducting my sixth tour of Canada and the USA to prepare for our spring campaign. I will be speaking and showing UNREPENTANT in Alberta, Manitoba, Ontario, Quebec and the Maritimes, New York, the mid west, and California. If I can raise the funds, I will also be speaking in Italy, Spain and Germany - look out, Mr. Pope!

If you live in these areas, please contact me and I'll let you know more about my venues.

Our Tribunal needs your support, and financial help. We depend completely on you for our work. If you can contribute anything to the cost of my travel and the production of our film and books, please donate through the pay pal on my website (www.hiddenfromhistory.org) or send a cheque made out to Lori O'Rorke to:

(We also have a direct bank deposit system which you can use - please ask about it).

This is a crucial time - please help us make a stand for the living and the dead.

I hope to see many of you soon. Please reply!

The very lands we all along enjoyed
they ravished from the people they destroyed ...
All the long pretenses of descent
are shams of right to prop up government.
' Tis all invasion, usurpation all;
' Tis all by fraud and force that we possess,
and length of time can make no crime the less;
Religion's always on the strongest side.

Daniel Defoe, Jure Divino (England, 1706)
