UBCIC Statement on Police Raid of Namegan/CRAB Park Tent City
((Xʷməθkʷəy̓əm (Musqueam), Sḵwx̱wú7mesh (Squamish) and səl̓ilwətaʔɬ/sel̓ílwitulh (Tsleil-Waututh)/Vancouver, B.C. – June 16, 2020) The Union of BC Indian Chiefs (UBCIC) stands in solidarity and shared outrage with the residents of Namegan/CRAB Park Tent City who were forcefully displaced this morning. The Province of British Columbia and the City of Vancouver have continued their pattern of prioritizing corporate interests and colonial property over the lives and safety of unhoused community members.
“By raiding a peaceful encampment at dawn with dozens of armed Vancouver Police and no presence from or coordination with housing providers, danger was created, not prevented,” stated Grand Chief Stewart Phillip, President of the Union of BC Indian Chiefs. “During a pandemic in which the Province committed to preventing evictions, the VPD seized this opportunity to evict some of the most vulnerable residents of the Downtown Eastside, many of whom are survivors of ongoing Indigenous genocide. Once again, dangerous state sanctioned violence was needlessly perpetrated against poor and homeless Indigenous peoples. This conduct is absolutely deplorable. Residents were given a sheet of paper with a few phone numbers to call for housing, but the outstanding issue is that we understand no housing is available at this time. Where are they supposed to go? We call on the City of Vancouver and the Province of British Columbia to commit to providing more permanent housing options immediately, and to completely overhaul the processes that allow for such violent displacements to continue.”

THE NATIVE TRIBE OWNS VANCOUVER
They receive no rent from the CORPORATE Real Estate BOARD CALLED – VANCOUVER, inc. !
Systemic abuse of Natives- took many years to derode this group ; many years of horror done to them by white horny evil human looking devils crucifying them while dispossessing , divesting and colonizing their land. Taking and selling their babies.. you know the GOD awful story- till the Natives hardly recognize themselves
This crime of racial discrimination- THEFT- goes on interminably till Creator removes the Parasite and replaces this invection of Narcissism at the top of the gravy train with divine mgmt and Nesara. Native tribe who in actuality own vancouver but instead are genocided?
There are land claims that get shuttled endlessly in the fake slave court debt system of disabuse in their – civil “divorce you from ur children and land court THEFT”
while this Israeli defacto government ( Rothschilds Central Bank gangsters steal what should be benefits going to the people.
I think Israel intelligence is involved- The Crown is Israel- they share in the stealing from the Natives of Canada using
Armed medical fascism ( fentanyl-they earn billions of illegal dollars by working both sides) as the wanton Crown is KNOWN TO DO THUS controlling all filthy drugs that hit the street) – its a War Crime against the people concentration camp that is the REAL HITSQUAD- SHAME ISRAEL- No conscience!
To avoid honoring the rights of the true landowners in this territory!
Because what looks like a concentration camp dwntn Vancouver is similar to the slow milking of the property of Palestinians.
Vancouver natives who OWN THIS LAND , cant find a place to lay their blessed heads
We are ALL DIVINE
