  From: Bluejay Pierce
  Subject: Please Post and Circulate: June 1 Funeral Procession for Those who
  Continue to Die - Squamish Nation ("Vancouver")

  Funeral Procession and Vigil for Those Who Continue to Die

  Sunday, June 1-10:00 am
  Richards and Dunsmuir, downtown "Vancouver"

  Commencing at the former "Holy Rosary Cathedral", now an Open Community
  Space under the Jurisdiction of Chief Kiapilano and the Squamish Nation

  Relying on the Canadian state and its churches is killing our people! The
  $10,000 residential school "settlement" is causing more deaths every day -
  the genocide is continuing! Take a stand to find our own recovery and
  healing, by declaring our sovereignty and independence from Canada!

  Bring drums and banners, in memory of those who have died, and to save those
  who may.

  This action is authorized by Hereditary Squamish Chief Kiapilano and
  Ambassador Red Jacket of Turtle Island. Sponsored by The International Human
  Rights Tribunal into Genocide in Canada and The Friends and Relatives of the
  Disappeared
