Description: On January 8th and 9th 2007, hundreds of police and soldiers in Guatemala forcibly evicted the inhabitants of several communities who were living on lands that a Guatemalan military government had granted to Canadian mining company INCO in 1965. Local indigenous populations claim the land to be theirs, and resent the exploitation of an outside corporation. Canada's Skye Resources now lays claim to the land, and paid workers a nominal sum to destroy people's homes. With the force of the army and police, company workers took chainsaws and torches to people's homes, while women and children stood by. Skye Resources claims that they maintained "a peaceful atmosphere during this action." Watch the illegal evictions here, and decide for yourself.. Spanish with English subtitles.

| taylorklie ::: Favorites 2007-07-15 11:08:39 I want Guatemala to know that we civilians had and still have little understanding of the problem, but we will do our best to help evict this heartless company from your land. With the help of Steven and others willing to make a difference, the company will hopefully soon be forced to change their ways or shut down. __________________________________________________ | |
| taylorklie ::: Favorites 2007-07-15 11:08:18 I would like to say, as a Canadian, that I am deeply ashamed in what our government and what this company is doing. In my own defense, I had no idea that any of this was happening until Steven Schnoor came to my school and presented this video in class - I am deeply hurt by what this horrible company is doing to the world and also deeply hurt by the government not taking action against it. __________________________________________________ | |
