‘White people are subhuman’, says Tla’amin Leader’

“‘White’ people need to acknowledge their culture is lost. ‘White’ settler culture is a lost culture because nothing good defines ‘White’ people. If I insult ‘White’ people, I don’t give a sh-t.

The ‘White’ people in Canada are subhuman because of what they’ve allowed to happen”,

said former Chief Councillor of the Tla’amin ‘Nation’ Maynard Harry (‘KWAST-en-ayu’) in a 90 minute phone interview with ‘The New Westminster Times’ about the City of Powell River’s controversial name change proposal.

Maynard Harry

Harry reached out to ‘The New Westminster Times’ following our story about veteran Powell River paramedic Ted Vizzutti, drummed out of his job after 39 years and called “racist” by BC Emergency Health Services for opposing his City’s proposed name change.

Harry is the founder of “Indigenous Insight”.

{‘Indigenous Insight’ is a certified Canadian Council for [Indigenous {sic} Business (CC‘I’B) ‘Indigenous’ Engagement & Cultural Awareness trainer and verifier.

He runs a seminar called “Colonizer Rehab”,

and is credited with shaping the City of Powell River’s “Community Accord” through collaborative work with former Powell River mayor Stewart Alsgard.

The 2003 ‘Community Accord’, which laid the groundwork for Powell River’s ongoing {one-sided} engagement with the Tla’amin ‘First Nation’ {a ‘nation’ of 1,272 people}, states:

Paramount is the respect for and appreciation of each other’s diverse backgrounds”.

If Harry is any indication, Tla’amin respect for people outside their community has dwindled to near zero.

“‘White’ people need to acknowledge their culture is lost”,

said Harry bluntly.

“‘White’ settler culture is a lost culture because nothing good defines ‘White’ people.”

If I insult ‘White’ people, I don’t give a sh-t“,

admitted Harry.”

Democracy has nothing to do with ‘First Nations’ or ‘Indigenous’ culture”,

L. Maynard Harry, former Tla’amin Chief and four-time elected councillor…told The New Westminster Times in a recent 90-minute phone interview (that was recorded with permission).

It’s an alien system.”

Meanwhile, elected officials of the Tla’amin ‘First Nation’ are sending mixed messages about their commitment to democracy. On one hand, a spokesperson for the Tla’amin ‘First Nation’ told The New Westminster Times that only elected officials may speak publicly for their community.

On the other hand, those same democratically-elected officials oppose a democratic process relating to a possible name change for the City of Powell River.

The ‘Nation’ {sic} doesn’t support opinion polls or referenda because the ‘human rights’ of a minority should not be decided by a majority”,

said the Tla’amin statement.

As previously reported in a recent story, Harry said in his interview with The New Westminster Times that “White people are subhuman”.

Harry, who used the word “subhuman” fifteen times in the course of the interview, described “White people” generally as inferior to ‘Indigenous’ people.

When I use the word subhuman, I mean the viciousness about who White people are, and the corporate people that come into my community and take advantage just to access land, valuable land and resources {For which, you are generously paid}. That’s what I mean”,

said Harry.

Subhuman in general.”

Despite the Tla’amin reluctance to adopt the “alien system” that Harry describes, democratic processes have nevertheless now been firmly entrenched in the life of the ‘First Nation’ {sic, Tribe} through its own constitution. The Tla’amin Constitution was a prerequisite to the “Tla’amin Final Agreement”, a modern treaty with the Province of British Columbia that went into effect in 2016.

{NO Treaties with Aboriginals can be considered ‘Modern’. The whole process is an anachronism…}

Contrary to the above-referenced public statement on the name-change poll stating the Tla’amin Nation “doesn’t support opinion polls or referenda”, the Tla’amin Constitution fully integrates and supports the use of referenda in Tla’amin decision-making on a “50 percent plus one” basis. No special provisions are provided for “the human rights of a minority.

Mixed-Race Racism{Jan.14,2020}:

One of the unspoken aboriginal issues is the racism directed at mixed Race people from the supposedly ‘pure blood’ aboriginals:

When Will The Media Talk About Native Racism? 

This is the kind of huge racist abuse people get from natives who use being their race to attack others who are not their race, that the mainstream media refuses, absolutely refuses to cover honestly, while they cater to every complaint if it’s a native blaming Canada for it.”
