Another example of how the white man steals from the native peoples

Here's the flag of the Mohawk Warriors:

And here is the banner for the Ontario Coalition Against Poverty:

What an interesting coincidence.

OCAP is the violent advocacy group for the homeless in Toronto. They do support the Six Nations action (of course), but their mandate has little to do with the Mohawk Warriors or their goals:

OCAP is a direct-action anti-poverty organization based in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. We mount campaigns against regressive government policies as they affect poor and working people. In addition, we provide direct-action advocacy for individuals against eviction, termination of welfare benefits, and deportation. We believe in the power of people to organize themselves.

I doubt the Mohawk Warriors give a second's thought to the working poor in Toronto, unless it is to sell them cigarettes. They are more interested in the wealthy people who can spend money in casinos.

Do you think OCAP gets much support, financially speaking, from the Mohawk Warriors? Me neither. Somehow, I can't see the Mohawk Warriors being too pleased that their symbols are being usurped by a bunch of white warrior wannabees.
