An investigation has been launched into accusations that Olympic security police made racist remarks and shoved Lubicon Lake demonstrators last weekend. The investigation was prompted by a letter from the Calgary Committee Against Racism (CCAR) and "is being treated as a legitimate complaint," said Doug Green, Deputy Chief Olympic security co-ordinator.

The behaviour of the crowd and undercover police "was just a taste for us of what Native people have had to put up with four hundreds of years," said Elli Jilek, CCAR member.
