Just trying to figure out if anything is planned for that day, haven't been able to find anything conclusive.
Friday, December 7, 2007
Protesters arrested for blocking Denver's Columbus Day parade made good on their threat to drag out proceedings with jury trials and motions Friday. Police arrested 83 demonstrators during the Columbus Day Parade Oct. 6. After five hours of hearings Friday, a municipal court had heard motions on only four of the protesters. The motions demand the cases be thrown out because officers could not verify that the defendants in the courtroom were actually the people they dragged off 15th Street during the parade.

Land concessions to tribal people are most important in the regions where logging corporations like Maxxam/Pacific Lumber are profiting from destruction of forests on stolen land. The regions Maxxam/PL claims as their property were stolen via force and murder from indigenous people. We can begin restoration by recognizing the First People who were the original caretakers of the forests.
"This is a hard struggle, we are up against some powerful forces, we find ourselves even having to struggle against the City of Tacoma just for the right to march for Leonard Peltier, but we believe that there is a more powerful force than the force that stands against us and that is the force of the spirit of the people. We will not give up, we will not surrender to the forces of repression and we will carry on for however long it takes."
Regarding his first encounter with the Arawaks in the Bahamas, Columbus
wrote "They don't bear arms and do not know of them, for I showed them a sword, they took it by the edge and cut themselves out of ignorance...They would make fine servants...With fifty men we could subjugate them all and make them do whatever we want."
Below is a write-up of an anti-racism conference that took place out in Denver last weekend. The article is from the UCD student paper. This seemed appropriate to post In the wake of the comments made by Stanley Cohen yesterday here in Portland about how his clients charged with terrorism couldn't get a fair trial in this town because of the racist reporters that have skewed public opinion to ensure a guilty verdict.
What is planned for this Columbus Day here in Portland?
Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez urged Latin Americans on Saturday not to celebrate Columbus Day, saying the 1492 discovery of the Americas triggered a 150-year "genocide" of native Indians by foreign conquerors who behaved "worse than Hitler".
"Christopher Columbus was the spearhead of the biggest invasion and genocide ever seen in the history of humanity," the populist president told a meeting in Caracas of representatives of Indian peoples from across the continent. Columbus Day on Oct. 12 is celebrated as a holiday in the United States and several Latin American nations, but Chavez said it should be remembered as the "Day of Indian Resistance."

Start planning now to resist the celebration of colonization and destruction of cultures and languages world wide. Below is an example of what some people did to say no to glorifying genocide.
The genocide continues - as the coal is raped from the Dine in Arizona to fuel Las Vegas, as the bones of ancestors are put on display in museums and corportations put nuclear waste in the sacred lands where bones rest.
