TRIBUTE TO HARRIET NAHANEE
Harriet Nahanee was a great grandmother, a Squamish elder and a fighter. Harriet was 71 when she died on Saturday February 24th. She died only a few weeks after spending nine days in the Surrey Pre-Trial Centre. She was sent to the jail after being charged with criminal contempt of court for her actions protesting the highway expansion through Eagleridge Bluffs, traditional Squamish territory. At the time of her sentencing she was weak from the flu and asthma. Despite this, she was sentenced to 14 days in what is know to be a hell hole of a jail.

Stark Raven speaks with Skundaal, Selina Barton and Rose Henry, three activist warrior women & friends of Harriet Nahanee. They share stories of Harriet, her vision and how the community is responding to her death.

About

    Ts'iin, Welcome to the Spirit of Warrior Harriet Nahanee Site. This weblog is dedicated to Harriet’s Actions, the sacrifice she made for the future generations and the legacy she left us.

    We believe in carrying on Harriet’s legacy in the form of actions expressing dissent of colonization, injustice and oppression. It is the Olympics 2010 (VANOC) in conjunction with the KKKanadian state, and the KKKanadian and BC justice systems that are responsible for the death of Harriet Nahanee, the deepening of poverty and homelessness in Vancouver, specifically the Downtown Eastside, and the massive theft of Indigenous lands and the denial of Indigenous rights.

    There is only one way to stop the destruction and that is by fighting back. This site will help connect people and help you get information on updates, but we urge you to join in actions on the ground happening across on Coast Salish Territory and in BC.
