I have to admit that I didn't originally pay much attention to the unfolding drama about The Eagleridge Bluffs in West Vancouver. But the more I learn about the way that protesters like Harriet Nahanee have been handled the more I worry about the way this stuff is going down in advance of Vancouver's 2010 Olympics. According to the CBC:

First Nations Squamish elder Harriet Nahanee, who was jailed for two weeks in January for disobeying a B.C. Supreme Court injunction ordering protesters to stay away from the Eagleridge Bluffs site, has died.

Nahanee, 71, died Saturday night from pneumonia complicated by previously undiagnosed lung cancer.

Nahanee's death is one chapter of this story. The other involves a charismatic Grandmother who has also been shipped off to jail.

Here is what I've been able to crowd source about Eagleridge:
