[QUOTE="Babagounj, post: 1198100, member: 12952"] [URL='http://weaselzippers.us/2013/09/15/leftist-salon-contributor-who-destroyed-911-memorial-on-vermont-campus-lied-about-it-being-native-american-burial-ground/']Leftist Salon Contributor Who Destroyed 9/11 Memorial On Vermont Campus Lied About It Being Native American Burial Ground[/URL] The protesters who uprooted a 9/11 memorial display at a liberal arts college in Vermont claimed they were defending Abenaki tribal lands and taking a stand against U.S. imperialism. The Abenaki tribe’s response? “Disgusting.” Don Stevens, chief of the Nulhegan Abenaki Tribe, said his tribe did not approve of the actions taken by five people–including one student–at Middlebury College last week. “We didn’t know anything about this and if we had we certainly wouldn’t have sanctioned it,” he said in a statement to The Addison Independent. Steven said there’s no evidence that the field is an Abenaki burial site. And even if it was, the flags would be a welcome presence. “Our burial sites honor our warriors and their bravery,” said Stevens. “Putting flags in the earth to honor bravery would not be disrespectful.” Two people admitted to participating in the destruction of the memorial. One is a student, Anna Shireman-Grabowski. She is also a contributor to Salon. [/QUOTE]
