AKWESASNE MOHAWKS OPPOSE US SENATE BILL 3475 TO CLAIM NYS

Posted on by

MNN. SEP. 7, 2026. U.S. SENATE BILL 3475 IS A PIECE OF LEGISLATION INTRODUCED IN THE 119TH CONGRESS TO AUTHORIZE, RATIFY, AND CONFIRM THE AGREEMENT OF SETTLEMENT AND COMPROMISE RATIFYING THE AKWESASNE MOHAWK LAND CLAIM IN NORTHERN NEW YORK STATE. 

Press Release Statement Opposing S.3475 Published July 28, 2026 Modified July 28, 2026

We are here today in the spirit of the Two Row Wampum, a concept that predates European settlement on this continent, but is the first treaty made by our ancestors with yours. We are not to interfere with one another’s affairs. Therefore our presence with you today is not to interfere with your affairs, it is to ensure that Bill S.3475 does not interfere with ours. We are here on behalf of Kanien’kehá:ka-Mohawk / Haudenosaunee Governance and Our Future Generations due to our responsibility for the land. Honourable Senators, representatives, officials, relatives, and all those gathered here today: We come before you with respect, humility, and a heavy responsibility; not as your constituents – as Kanien’kehá:ka-Mohawk Nation title holders of the Haudenosaunee Confederacy. We are here today to oppose the proposed Land Claim Settlement Agreement that would have adverse effects on our Indigenous system of governance, which predates the formation of both the U.S. and Canada. We speak today for the land, the water, the people, the women, the children, for the families, the hereditary leaders, the clans, the ancestors, and for the generations not yet born. We ask you to listen not only with your legal minds, but with your conscience. Because the matter before you is not only a bill before your legislature, this settlement would have long-reaching detrimental impacts.

S.3475 is about whether the United States Congress will help repair a historic injustice or whether it will make that injustice permanent. It is about whether Congress will respect the Mohawk people – the Kanien’kehá:ka as we say in our own language — as a living people with our own governance, laws, responsibilities, language, culture, and relationship to the land — or whether Congress will again treat us as a problem to be settled, divided, and erased. We are here to say clearly: S.3475 must be opposed. At minimum, it must be paused, and if it is ever to move forward, it must be substantially amended. No federal settlement should be passed that finalizes land status, governance issues, easements, rights-of-way, claims, or future rights without the full, free, prior, informed, and culturally legitimate consent of all affected Kanien’kehá:ka-Mohawk people and all affected Kanien’kehá:ka-Mohawk governance systems.

Our original way is for us all to have a voice – not giving one group authority over us all. We are not the Saint Regis Mohawk Tribe or Mohawk Council of Akwesasne. As titleholders in the Haudenosaunee Confederacy, we speak with an authority separate from the two organizations in Akwesasne that are currently party to this agreement. Those organizations were created by New York State and Canada. We speak for the Kanien’kehá:ka. Those organizations consist of Mohawk people from Akwesasne, but their organizations are part of Your Ways, not ours. They have once been referred to as ‘corporations’ by your courts. In the process of creating the “Agreement of Settlement and Compromise to Resolve the Akwesasne Mohawk Land Claim in the State of New York” consent of all governing bodies in Akwesasne and the community members that they represent has not been shown. The legitimacy of the agreement has not been proven, and without it, this bill is not reconciliation, it is not justice. It is erasure.

Recently, we have documented the support of over 1,000 people from five clans within Akwesasne to stop this agreement. That is more than all of the votes gathered in the Saint Regis Mohawk Tribal referendum conducted over a decade ago as their sign of support for this agreement. The process used to reach this settlement, as it stands, went against our traditional protocols by requiring secrecy on the part of participating officials. This kept participating Kanien’kehá:ka-Mohawk Haudenosaunee from bringing the terms of the agreement to their full clan membership and council in a timely manner.

The lands addressed in S.3475 are not ordinary lands. They are not simply parcels on a map. They are not merely property to be bought, sold, transferred, or extinguished. These lands are Kanien’kehá:ka-Mohawk lands. They are Haudenosaunee lands. They are part of the living territory of the Kanien’kehá:ka people. Our people have occupied and continue to occupy these lands. Our people continue to carry responsibility for these lands. The land is connected to our language, ceremonies, clans, families, governance, identity, our future. For the Kanien’kehá:ka-Mohawk people, land is not a commodity. Land is not just a legal asset. Land is not something separate from who we are. Our responsibilities to the land come from our original instructions. We belong to the land. The land does not simply belong to us. Since time immemorial, our people have carried the responsibility of protecting the land and water through ceremony – for us and for future generations; gratefully reaping, food, medicine, water. Our language and law are connected to our responsibility and stewardship of the land. That responsibility was not created by the United States or New York State. It was not created by a county, a town, or a corporation. And it cannot be erased by a settlement agreement. The United States. New York State, the counties and towns, have not fulfilled these responsibilities to the waters and land. The damage to our lands, waters, and people has been enormous. And it continues. It is not only damage from the past. It is ongoing. It is environmental, political, cultural, social and spiritual. It is related to efforts made to disrupt our original ways by reducing our lands and waterways to economic resources and reducing our people into categories that colonial governments can understand, control, and settle.

But we are not simply a category. We are not simply one federally recognized entity. We are not one side of a border. We are not a line item in a land claim. We are the Mohawk people -Kanien’kehá:ka. We are part of the Haudenosaunee Confederacy. We are a people with ancient responsibilities and inalienable rights. And our rights were never surrendered. Congress must understand this: The Kanien’kehá:ka-Mohawk people never ceded these lands. The women did not cede these lands, the hereditary leaders did not surrender their responsibilities. The clans did not extinguish their rights. The families did not consent to have their future negotiated away. No one has the right to take historic wrongdoing and try to legitimize it through federal legislation.

AKWESASNE ORIGINAL LAND TO BE RETURNED

TO MOHAWK KANIENKEHAKA ANCESTERAL LAND

IN NORTHERN NEW YORK STATE

The land claim itself exists because of unlawful land transactions. That matters. It matters because Congress should not now pass a bill that turns unlawful dispossession into lawful finality. It matters because a settlement should repair harm, not protect the results of harm. It matters because a government cannot first allow injustice, then later say: “Now that enough time has passed, we will call this settled.” That is not justice. That is not healing. That is not honour. That is not respect. That is the continuation of colonialism through legal language. Lands were taken without lawful consent. The answer cannot be to extinguish future claims. Rights were violated. The answer cannot be to force the people to accept a framework that leaves them divided, diminished, and silenced. Governance was disrupted. The answer cannot be to recognize only the structures that colonial law prefers while ignoring hereditary governance, women’s authority, clan responsibilities, and the voices of the people.

Congress must not use S.3475 to legalize the very dispossession that created the claim. This bill is presented as a settlement. But a settlement is only legitimate if the people with the rights have truly consented. A settlement is not legitimate simply because lawyers negotiate it. A settlement is not legitimate simply because governments sign it. A settlement is not legitimate simply because it is convenient for the State, the counties, the towns, or the power authority. A settlement is not legitimate if it excludes the people who carry the deepest responsibilities to the land. A settlement is not legitimate if it ignores the position of hereditary leaders whose priority is to protect governance processes and if it is rushed through Congress before the affected people understand its consequences. A settlement is not legitimate if it requires silence in exchange for recognition and extinguishes future claims while unresolved questions remain. A settlement is not legitimate if it divides us as a people and strengthens colonial jurisdiction while weakening Indigenous governance. A settlement is not legitimate if it punishes the people for what settlers and governments did, while rewarding settlers in perpetuity. The agreement requires payments to counties and land purchases, while the people continue to carry the burden of historic and ongoing damage to lands and waters. This is backward.

We, as the original people of this land were the ones who were harmed and we should not be made to pay for the consequences of dispossession. We are the original stewards of the lands that were taken and we should not be forced to purchase back what was never lawfully surrendered. The people whose waters were damaged should not be asked to accept agreements that do not guarantee true guardianship of the environment, and to accept another process that sidelines their own laws. A true settlement would restore. It would not punish. A true settlement would protect. It would not extinguish. A true settlement would strengthen Kanien’kehá:ka-Mohawk governance. It would not bypass it. A true settlement will honour the land. It will not treat land as a bargaining chip.

One of the most serious dangers of S.3475 is political erasure. This bill risks federal ratification of one political arrangement while marginalizing other legitimate Kanien’kehá:ka-Mohawk governance authorities, traditional leadership structures, clans, families, women, and affected rights holders. This is not a small concern. This is the heart of the issue. Congress must not pass legislation that resolves Indigenous land claims by recognizing only selected institutional voices while silencing or diminishing other legitimate governance systems. When Congress recognizes only the institutions created or preferred by colonial law, it does more than pass a bill. It reshapes Indigenous reality, deciding who counts. It decides who is heard and whose law matters. It decides whose consent is required and whose history is remembered. And it decides whose future is protected. That is why S.3475 cannot be treated as a simple administrative bill. On paper, it may look like settlement language. On paper, it may look like land transfers, easements, rights-of-way, jurisdiction, and compensation. But in practice, it threatens political erasure. It threatens to erase the authority of hereditary governance. It threatens to erase the responsibilities of women. It threatens to erase the voice of clans and families. It threatens to erase the fact that the Kanien’kehá:ka-Mohawk people are not confined by the U.S.-Canada border. And once Congress gives that erasure federal force, it will be very difficult to undo. Do not rush. Do not assume. Do not rely only on signatures from selected entities. Do not mistake federal recognition for full Kanien’kehá:ka-Mohawk consent. Do not mistake administrative convenience for justice, silence for agreement, or exclusion for settlement.

We also ask Congress to understand our role as hereditary leadership. As hereditary chiefs we are not simply political figures. We are not temporary office holders. We are not people who serve only for an election cycle. We are life-long leaders with responsibilities that come from our own governance systems. Our priority is not personal power. Our priority is the protection of the people, the continuance of our governance process, and to ensure that decisions affecting land, law, identity, and future generations are made in the proper way.

Many of our leaders are second-language English speakers. That must be respected. English legal language can be misleading, technical, and foreign to our way of thinking and speaking, just as the details of an agreement in our Kanien’kehá:ka language would be lost to English speakers. Do not mistake plain speech for lack of knowledge, careful silence for weakness or cultural protocol for delay. Do not mistake second-language English for lack of insight or deep understanding. As leaders we carry knowledge that cannot be measured by legal vocabulary. We carry memory, the weight of our ancestors, the voices of families, the law of the people and the instructions to protect the land. If Congress truly respects Indigenous governance, then it must respect the time, language, process, and authority of Indigenous governance. That means pausing S.3475 until the proper Kanien’kehá:ka-Mohawk and Haudenosaunee processes have taken place.

That means allowing hereditary leaders, women, clans, families, and community members to review the full consequences of this bill, ensuring that information is explained clearly, in accessible language, and through culturally legitimate processes with no pressure, no rush, no coercion, no artificial deadline and no final extinguishment. The principle is simple: Nothing about us, without us. Nothing about our land without our land-based governance. Nothing about our future without our people. Nothing about our rights without our consent. The United Nations Declaration on the Rights of indigenous Peoples recognizes that indigenous peoples have the right to maintain distinct political, legal, economic, social, and cultural institutions, and that states should consult and cooperate in good faith with Indigenous peoples through their own representative institutions to obtain free, prior, and informed consent before adopting measures that affect them.

S.3475 affects land. It affects our ability to fulfill our responsibilities to the lands and waters. It affects easements, rights-of-way, claims, governance, the environment, future generations and the relationship between the Kanien’kehá:ka-Mohawk people and our homelands. Congress should not advance this bill because not all affected Kanien’kehá:ka-Mohawk governance systems and rights holders were fully consulted or gave consent through their own legitimate processes. A significant number of stakeholders were informed after the fact and simply invited into a process already designed by others and asked to comment on a conclusion already reached. Consultation must be meaningful. Consent must be free. Consent must be prior, it must be informed, collective, and culturally legitimate. Consent is not currently present, therefore the bill must not proceed. We also raise the role of women as guardians of the land supported and represented by our men. In Haudenosaunee governance, land is not separated from women’s responsibilities; women carry inherent responsibilities for the land, life, and to future generations. The women did not cede these lands, did not surrender these responsibilities, and did not consent to the extinguishment of those responsibilities. That must matter to Congress.

If Congress passes S.3475 without respecting women’s land authority, then Congress is not simply passing a land bill. It is overriding Haudenosaunee law. It is saying that colonial signatures matter more than Indigenous women’s responsibilities. It is saying that federal process matters more than the people’s own law. That cannot be reconciliation. That cannot be respect. That cannot be justice. A settlement that treats land as property while ignoring its connection to life, ceremony, and future generations is not legitimate. Congress must not participate in that erasure. Akwesasne is also not confined by the border created by the United States and Canada. Akwesasne exists across what are now called New York, Ontario, and Quebec. Our families cross that border. Our history, our language, our ceremonies, our governance, and our identity cross that border. The border did not create us. The border divided us. S.3475 risks deepening that division by treating Akwesasne through U.S. administrative categories —federal, state, county, town, reservation, settlement area, non-settlement area. The documents warn that S.3475 may divide Kanien’kehá:ka-Mohawks by colonial categories such as U.S. side and Canadian side, elected and traditional, state and federal, county and town. Those are not our original categories. Those are imposed structures. They are not the source of our identity, nor the source of our law or of our relationship to the land.

Congress should not impose a domestic U.S. settlement framework on a people whose territory, kinship, culture, and governance predate and transcend the U.S.–Canada border. Kanien’kehá:ka-Mohawk governance cannot be reduced to whichever institution is most convenient for Congress to recognize. Akwesasne must be respected as a whole people. Not divided and not made smaller to fit the paperwork of colonial governments.

We also speak today from treaty relationships. Our people are heirs to the Two Row Wampum. We are also connected to the continuing reality reflected in the Jay Treaty, because our people predate and transcend the international border. These are not just historical references. They are living relationships. Under the Two Row Wampum, our nations were to travel side by side, neither attempting to steer the vessel of the other. S.3475 violates that principle if the United States uses its legislative process to steer, define, divide, or extinguish Kanien’kehá:ka-Mohawk land responsibilities. S.3475 violates that principle if Congress finalizes land claims over the objection of affected Kanien’kehá:ka-Mohawk people. Treaty relationship requires honour, patience, truth, it requires listening and it requires that the United States not use its power to finalize what the Kanien’kehá:ka-Mohawk people have not consented to. We are not here only to say no. We halted our participation in this settlement process because it was not in keeping with our processes and would cause great harm to our people. We reserve our right to continue to have a voice in these matters. We are here to say what justice requires, and it requires full disclosure, full community review, proper translation and explanation, time for hereditary governance processes, the participation of women, clans and families. Justice requires environmental guardianship, cross-border recognition, and that no court case or claim be accepted or discontinued in a way that adversely affects our rights. Justice requires that any discontinuance not be used to prevent the Kanien’kehá:ka Mohawk people from continuing to defend lands in our traditional homelands. Justice requires that Congress not ratify any agreement that forces the people to surrender unresolved claims before the people themselves have freely agreed.

Justice requires that the United States not rely on the unratified 2014 MOU, or any agreement, to forever extinguish Mohawk land claims. Justice also requires that land, air, and water(s) be protected, for our future generations and the animals and wildlife that depend on them for survival. Justice requires true guardianship, not merely control. Justice requires restoration, not erasure. We must also speak about compassion. Because beneath all the legal words, there is pain. There is pain in watching land being taken, in seeing water harmed, families divided by borders, governance systems being ignored, women’s authority being dismissed, and elders not being heard.

Then, there is the pain of leaders having to explain ancient responsibilities in a second language, inside foreign legal systems, the pain of being told, again and again, that someone else has the authority to decide our future, being asked to accept less than what was taken, being told that if we do not agree quickly, we are standing in the way of progress. We are not standing in the way of progress. We are standing in the way of erasure. We are standing in the way of another injustice being called a settlement and of our children inheriting silence. We are standing in the way of a law that could make it harder for future generations to protect what our ancestors protected for us. We do this because we love our people, we respect our leaders, we honour our women. We remember our ancestors, because we in turn are responsible to those not yet born.

To the United States Senate, we say: You have a choice. You can move this bill forward quickly and call it settlement. Or you can pause and ask whether settlement without full consent is really justice. You can rely on selected signatures and call it agreement. Or you can ask whether all affected Kanien’keháka-Mohawk governance systems and people have truly consented. You can treat this as a land transaction. Or you can recognize that this is about cultural survival. You can treat our leaders as obstacles. Or you can recognize us as lawful carriers of governance responsibilities. You can treat women’s land authority as symbolic. Or you can recognize that without women’s consent, the settlement lacks legitimacy. You can treat Akwesasne as divided by borders. Or you can recognize Akwesasne as one people whose identity predates those borders. You can finalize dispossession. Or you can help create a path toward honourable repair.

We ask you to choose honour, caution, and respect for indigenous people’s responsibility for the land over the convenience of paperwork. We ask you to oppose, pause, or substantially amend S.3475. Let us be clear about what we are saying. We are saying Congress should not ratify any settlement that extinguishes Kanien’kehá:ka-Mohawk rights. Do not validate one political arrangement in a way that erases hereditary governance, women’s authority, clan responsibility, families’ and individuals’ inalienable rights.

Do not transform unlawful historical land transactions into permanent federal acceptance.

Do not deepen the divisions imposed on Akwesasne by colonial borders and administrative categories.

Do not force the people to pay for the wrongdoing done to them.

Do not mistake a settlement with selected governments for the consent of the Kanien’keháka-Mohawk people as a whole.

Act with restraint, integrity, and humanity. This is not a rejection of peace. It is a demand for a just peace.

This is not a rejection of resolution. It is a demand for a legitimate resolution. T

his is not a rejection of dialogue. It is a demand that dialogue happen in the proper way, with the proper people, through the proper processes.

This is not a rejection of law. It is a demand that Congress respect our law too. Because our law did not disappear. Our governance did not disappear. Our relationship to the land did not disappear. Our women’s responsibilities did not disappear. Our treaty relationships did not disappear. Our people did not disappear. And we will not allow a federal bill to marginalize us in our own homelands.

Formal Notice to Colonial Governments and Related Entities On Behalf of the People of the Longhouse in Akwesasne.

To: The Government of the United States of America, the State of New York, the Government of Canada, the St. Regis Tribe, the Akwesasne Mohawk Council, and all pertinent legislative bodies and agencies.

Re: United States Senate Hearing in Washington. D.C. on Bill S.3475 – Resolution of the Akwesasne Mohawk Land Claim Subject: Assertion of Kanien’kehá:ka/Mohawk Title and Rejection of Colonial Claims. Please be formally advised that the lands central to the current litigation are, and remain, the territory of the Kanien’kehá:ka/Mohawk Nation as part of the Haudenosaunee Confederacy.

The Mohawk People repeatedly and relentlessly reject reliance on the 1776 Seven Nations of Canada Treaty or any similar colonial instruments as a valid basis for external claims. The Kanien’kehá:ka/Mohawk Nation has maintained continuous use, stewardship, and occupation of these lands, and the women never ceded nor surrendered title to New York State or any other colonial government. The classification of Akwesasne as a federal “reservation” does not diminish its status as Kanien’kehá:ka/Mohawk land in the eyes of its people.

On 02/07/2025, legal counsel for the MNCC, submitted a motion for dismissal without prejudice of the Nation’s participation in this matter. The Mohawk Nation initially engaged in the litigation process to keep a watchful eye on the colonial imposed government to not sell away our homelands. No Chief was ever given authority to sign. The Court formally granted the motion and recorded the Nation’s dismissal without prejudice.

It is further declared that neither the St. Regis Tribe nor the Akwesasne Mohawk Council-entities created under the auspices of U.S. and Canadian laws —possess the authority to extinguish or transfer title to Mohawk Homelands. This authority lies solely with the People of the Longhouse, who act in accordance with their traditional governance and protocols.

This notice is issued to safeguard the rights, governance structures, and protocols of the People of the Longhouse, and to demand that all references within New York State legislation implying ratification or consent by the Mohawk Nation Council of Chiefs be immediately removed. Any suggestion of such agreement is unfounded and must be stricken from all related legislative instruments. For the record, this notice is made without prejudice of the Mohawk Nation’s right to assert its land rights now or in the future.

The Mohawk Nation predates all colonial-imposed systems, and any withdrawal from negotiations or engagement should not be interpreted as surrender.

FOR LIFE’S SAKE!

MNN. Aug. 26, 2026. Let us set the great white pine tree of peace back up! It looks like the kaianerekowa, the great peace, has the answers to some of these horrors currently facing us which is beguiling everybody, including the 1% who are threatening the world. Creation put world resources in indigenous hands the world over as the caregivers of the planet. How did it become a time when some people want to kill us off and take the entire planet for themselves? The answer is everybody has to study the kaianerekowa, all 117 articles we call the great peace. We’ve tried to explain this to the settlers ever since they invaded turtle island onowarekeh. In 1710 we sent our Iroquois men to London to carry out the first world conference on peace, inviting the European monarchs. We gave each a set of wampum to remind them of our message. Then In 1923 we sent Deskahe Levi General of Six Nations to Europe to help set up the League of Nations to teach the world what we know about true democracy.

We realize that everybody needs renewable energy. We have been trying to raise this with every country, company, entity, people to learn the indigenous way of keeping the earth clean and healthy. People worldwide have come to trust our philosophy of the “great peace” and to help us carry it out and stop the current abuse of our mother earth. This is the way to work together to shape the future. We should be certifying emissions on our lands and water for cleaner energy, cleaning up the garbage and landfills creating methane and ban gas and oil exploration. There could be a petition worldwide to back the native way, to help us stop deforestation, killing of wild life and plant habitat, stop the risks to our lives, and destruction of our wetlands and waterways. We need to hunt, fish, trap and pick medicines. Many things are going wrong. Kaianerekowa can decide on these matters everywhere. Help end the present system of maintaining the power and control of everybody and everything by a few people. The kaianerekowa can be the basis of the government, finances, construction, communities, industry.  We can find experts who will study and understand the kaianerekowa and apply it. Countries cannot own land. It is creation. The people will work with the indigenous worldwide, which could be renewed every 5 to 10 years. No majority rules. The indigenous are meant to be the caretakers of the land, resources, water and people to carry out our duties and responsibilities to take care of the planet which is the mother of us all. Let’s work together to stop the destruction. Maybe we can learn who these settlers are who came to turtle island and started to create havoc. Why is 1% of the world’s population planning to destroy us? When they arrived they were supposed to live like us. We wanted to show them how to care for themselves. We told them if they want to be citizens of turtle island, they have to follow the kaianerekowa. Our prophesies have to be known by everybody to survive the coming threats. it is not too late. 

We indigenous showed these settlers how to respect our ways and to stop exploitation worldwide by sucking the life of our great mother earth and destroying her perfection. Their greed caused climate change and now the killing of nature. Fires, floods, hurricanes, tornadoes. earthquakes . . . People have nothing left but their broken dreams. They should have taken only what they needed and made full use of what they took. They cannot be citizens of our lands unless they follow the real democracy based on the great peace without hierarchy which we have been trying to show you. No one is supposed to be put on a pedestal. We are all suppose to stand at the same eye level.  

Well,  it is up to you. The 1% will always need slaves. AI cannot replace everything. Our message is that life goes on until it does not. 

Thahoketoteh of Tyendinaga reminds us of the power, the money or the war! “Let us raise our voices just so they hear us, let them roar. No more killing of our own family. Let us give peace a berth. We are all in this together. We the people of mother earth.”

Once again. Nia’wen kowa, thahoketoteh.

THE PEACE IS COMING

Posted on by

MNN. July. 21, 2026.  The Great Peace [or kaianerekowa] is the ancient constitution of the Haudenosaunee Confederacy (also known as the Iroquois League or Six Nations). We established a participatory democracy, taught equality among the five nations (Mohawk, Oneida, Onondaga, Cayuga, Seneca). We codified the  principles of peace, righteousness, equality and human rights centuries before European contact.  The International Criminal Court (ICC) is an intergovernmental organization  based in the Hague, Netherlands, as a court of last resort to prosecute individuals for four primary international crimes: genocide, war crimes, crimes against humanity, and the crime of aggression, which are presently being committed by the colonies of Canada and the US against the indigenous people of the western hemisphere and other parts of the world. The US claims it and Israel are not subject to ICC principles of justice. They claim the ICC deals only with the most serious violations of law. The current U.S. and Canadian administrations have been committing war crimes, crimes against humanity and deliberate deprivation of rights such as non-consultation regarding our land and waters. The ICC system protects these defaulters from accountability for their genocidal actions. The U.S. is party to the Geneva Conventions and the Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide which is suppose to be the basis of all relationships between these colonial nations and all nations of the world. Instead, they have decided to ignore its principles of peace and righteousness. 

Creation is the natural world. Those who pick and choose what they will follow without regard for anyone else are thus lawless. The kaianerekowa great peace is based on the process of creation. The fascist system of majority rule are really ‘whim’ laws of  oligarchs who run the US.

The ICC is simply one currently recognized court for applying for peace. Canadian law is interwoven with the Rome Statute which gives the court power to prosecute individuals for the world’s most serious global crimes. The US believes they can decides what are global crimes, from which nobody except themselves are exempt. The. present regime of the US believe they are above the law which would include the constitution of the United States. The US does not observe or respect other world laws.This means they do not respect the people of other countries. The European Union and others support the ICC. We are not sure whether or not the long campaign by the US to destroy the ICC will be ultimately successful in stopping the US and its cohorts from committing its worst evils!
Partial sources: “EU rejects Trump administration claims that ICC threatens US sovereignty,” The US is has never been sovereign. As for ‘sovereignty’ no man-made law is or can be sovereign. You are or you are not, which means any country can withdraw from any of these man-made laws. The only true ‘way’ is to agree to follow creation’s sensible natural path as the indigenous people do. Ashifa Kassam & Cate Brown, July14, 2026, CBC News; “Trump administration vows to ‘disable’ the  International Criminal Court,”to avoid prosecution. Joseph Stepansky, July 13, 2026, Al Jazeera.
Johnny Cash sees the ICC as the town of America in his song,  “Don’t take your guns to town son”. This is the tragic story of a restless young cowboy named Billy Joe who is the United States of America who ignores his mother’s advice to leave his guns behind. He took them which lead to his untimely death. She was trying to save the land and the people by warning him.

“WHAT DOESN’T KILL ME MAKES ME STRONGER”

Posted on by

MNN.  July 16.2026. While a federal court judge has ruled Canada must provide safe drinking water to Indigenous people, the Dominion government of Canada Prime Minister Carney is appealing by tabling Bill-37 (aka First Nations Clean Water Act) to weaken the government’s commitment to provide safe drinking for all Indigenous communities. This is necessary as close to 40 Indigenous communities live under a boil water advisory. Carney wants to continue endangering our health and survival intentionally by withdrawing the government’s responsibility under the Convention on Genocide. The international community needs to  stop this attack and help protect us and our rights.

Liberal Prime Minister Carney is fast-tracking huge international inter-Provincial projects to steal our resources to benefit corporations and resource strippers, but Indigenous approval is required and at the moment is not getting it. The Dominion  of Canada is taking for granted they can go ahead. Indigenous people are offended/worried/threatened. We are showing united opposition. This global pattern is being asserted in South America, Africa and the Middle East, where corporations and corporately controlled governments are ignoring UNDRIP (“the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous People”) which requires Indigenous approval on everything affecting our lands and waters. This tactic to avoid basic principles of law is encouraged by the U.S. which is attempting to destroy the ICC and other means of accountability for crimes such as genocide.

The original agreements specify all colonists must come to us for permission for anything to do with our land and water. The British North American Empire capital was at Albany across the river from the mohawks.

HOLY SMOKE – MOHAWK TOBACCO ECONOMY TRADERS

Posted on by

MNN. July 15, 2026. One afternoon I was driving home alone on Highway 401 from Akwesasne Mohawk Territory [Ont.] to my home on Kahnawake Mohawk Territory [Que.] I noticed an Ontario cop car parked behind the fence on the grass facing the highway. Suddenly two Ontario cops with lights flashing signalled me to pull over, which I did. One parked in front of me and the other parked behind me.

A couple of minutes later this old cop limped over and tells me to roll down my window. Then he pulls out a long official  looking paper and tells me that he is of the “Ontario Smoke Patrol”. I said, “So!!’  He yells, “Open your trunk!”  I said, “No!” In the meantime, the cop in front pulls out and leaves. I wouldn’t get out of my car and I dialed a friend to listen and watch what was going on. I abruptly asked the old cop, “Where’s your warrant?” He told me to wait for him while he limped back to his car to call a judge in the nearby town to make arrangements for us to go there to arrest me or something. Apparently he suspected I had cigarettes in my trunk!! While he was making these arrangements, I said to myself, “Why the heck am I sitting here anyway?”  I told my friend on the phone, “My time is precious. I’m going home.” He answered, ” Yeah,  OK!” Then I stepped on the gas and took off. I looked in my rearview mirror and the old cop just stood in the dust and stared in shock. 

 This is a story about some of our attempts at economic self-sufficiency on our sovereign land of onowarekeh Great Turtle Island:  

 We have an absolute right to determine how to develop an economy on our own land. As the forest fires burn in Northwestern Ontario and the smoke fills our air, we are reminded of Boston’s song “Smoking”.

MOCCASIN MAKERS & WAR BREAKERS:

Posted on by

A  CALL TO ACTION BY THE WOMEN OF THE WORLD

MOHAWK NATION NEWS: April 27, 2026. 

WE HAVE THE POWER TO STOP THE WAR!

‘BEFORE THE MEN CAN GO TO WAR, THE WOMEN MUST MAKE THEIR MOCCASINS.”

In the tradition of our ancestors, it was customary for the women to make the moccasins worn by the men who were going to war. If the women did not want war, they did not make the moccasins. Our ancestors belonged to the Haudenosaunee Confederacy. Europeans called us Iroquois.

This is a momentous time in history …. a time when women worldwide are hearing the Call … The Call to demonstrate a new way of consensual decision making based on partnership, cooperation, harmony and balance. 

We can stop wars from ‘disappearing’ our children.

   

We overcame a horrible legacy of war and violence when Dekanawida, the Peace Maker, gave us our Kaianerekowa Great Peace. The United States Senate has acknowledged that our law served as a model for the Constitution of the United States [U.S. S. Con. Res. 76, 2 Dec. 1987].  The U.S. Constitution was, in turn, a model for the Charter of the United Nations. Our way is the basis of modern international law. 

The Americans copied our laws and customs, but they did not understand them. Our ancestors recognized the sovereignty of all men and women by solving community conflicts through discussion in a People’s Council. In our tradition, three criteria must be kept in mind through all deliberations: 

1]Peace must be kept at all costs;

2]Righteousness meaning decisions must be morally right, taking into consideration the needs of all our future generations to come, and;.

3]Power: meaning the power of the people must be maintained including the equal sovereignty of all men and all women.

Conflicts between nations were resolved through diplomacy and consensus. War – or the use of violence – was only a last resort. Even then the women and children of the opponents were spared. Throughout, our ancestors always respected the other nation’s different customs, laws and ways of life, whether they approved of them or not. 

They would work out agreements on how to live and stand together and find a way not to become involved in these current conflicts. We now see that this has gone too far. Innocent lives and mother earth are at stake. As women and caretakers of this earth, we have decided to speak up.

According to the way of our ancestors, the soil of onowarekeh turtle island [North America] is vested in the women. Serious decisions about warfare had to involve the other half of the people – the women – the bearers of life, the nurturers of the earth.

Please tell your mothers, grandchildren, great-grandchiidren involved in this current conflict, friends, as well as the men and boys in your lives.

We are asking people to wear pink [as hot a pink as you want]. “Codepink” is a code used in hospitals when a child is nearing death. The women will wear pink to express deep outrage about the suffering and death of the children, as well as our outrage about the impacts of violence on children. 

We are now facing an unnecessary war. We have a duty to use our power to do good. We have decided to remind all humanity of this important truth. War cannot happen without the support of women. We are asking the women of the world to come forward and play their rightful role as the progenitors, the creators of all men, all humanity, the caretakers of the earth and of all that lives upon it.

As women, we know the pain and suffering of childbirth. We feel a deep loss when our children die. This understanding is compelling us to act to stop the destruction of lives. The children must not suffer. Not our children, Not the children of anyone we disagree with. We respect the sovereign and sacred right of each individual to live on this earth. 

We ask you, the women of the world, and the men who support us, to come forward and stop this madness. This decision to go to war is causing deaths of thousands of innocent men, women and children. This is being made primarily by men without the input of the people of the nation attacking or being attacked, without the input of the women. Most of these men have grandmothers,  mothers, wives, girlfriends, sisters, aunts, daughters, nieces, granddaughters, nannies, friends,  etc…..  Or anyone who is involved in causing the current threat to destroy the world.

We are asking all women to put pressure on current and past criminal presidents.   

Women., remember your power. Remember your responsibility. Every person has personal power. We must all use our power to do good. We must stop the war.  We must maintain the peace. We must hold back the moccasins.

JOIN YOUR VOICE. WITH SISTERS, MOTHERS, AUNTS, GRANDMOTHERS, DAUGHTERS,  AND SAY “NO” TO WAR…NOT NOW… NOT EVER AGAIN.

Kahentinetha, Mohawk mother, grandmother & great grandmother

Kahente, Mohawk mother & grandmother

Karonhio’he, daughter

kokowa, daughter, mother

Grace, aunt &, sister

Sign this petition to stop the war and send it to your representatives. Your voice counts, but you have to do something. Use your power. What if every woman in the world refused to have a baby? 

Our divine sister, Helen Reddy, says it very clearly about the power of the mocasin makers, the woman.

HISTORIC MOHAWK/IROQUOIS ALLIANCES WITH RUSSIA AND IRAN

Posted on by

MOHAWK-RUSSIAN-IRAN RELATIONS

MNN. Mar. 7, 2026. Mohawk Nation members have found a few wampum treaty belts left with Peter the Great, the Czar of Russia, in 1710 that were presented at the World’s First International Peace Conference in London, at our initiation. The Europeans were very interested in how our law of peace defeated the colonial ambitions of France in 1701 after the Great Peace of Montreal. Our Haudeonsaunee chiefs presented these belts to all the monarchies of Europe. We explained the meaning of the alliance that was formed with the Mohawks according to the Kaianerekowa, the Great Law of Peace.
Russian bear greets Mohawk Bear.
Russian bear meets Mohawk Bear clan.

Russian Czar Peter the Great was there. He refused to take part in the subsequent biggest genocide of indigenous peoples carried out by the Europeans of the original people of onowarekeh turtle island [North America]. In 1899 Czar Nicholas II of Russia set up the first world court for international dispute resolution in the Hague, The Permanent Court of Arbitration. The goals are world peace and an end to war.   The Permanent Court of Arbitration.

The statesman of the Romanov Dynasty.

Peter the Great, the statesman, listened to Rotino’shonni:onwe chiefs in 1710 in London.

          We were and still are the victims of the same ‘crown’ criminal bankers and the Vatican corporation that carried out the genocide of over 150 million of the original inhabitants of the Western Hemisphere. Then they murdered the entire imperial family of Russia in 1917 for refusing to take part in the biggest holocaust in all humanity in step with their dastardly plans to take over the world. 

That’s history. Today Prime Minister Mark Carney of the colony of Canada is in no position to speak for the indigenous caretakers of Onowarekeh. He cannot intervene in a  war between Russia and Ukraine, or provide military weapons and our funds made from theft of our land and resources without our permission. The indigenous people will decide who the colonists of Canada shall stand with in any international issue. Iran [formerly Persia] stood with us in 1923 when our Iroquois Confederacy sent Deskahe Levi General to join the League of Nations which Canada as a colony was not qualified to join. Mark Carney cannot now order a foreign nation, Russia, to come to his table to negotiate for peace or profit in an international forum on behalf of the true people of onowarekeh turtle island. Only we can do that and those wampum belts are the physical evcidence of that. We have always remained the ancient ally of Russia since 1710 and of Iran in 1923.  

Canada, back off of any aggression against Russia or you will be breaking an ancient treaty that was ratified in 1710 for all of the indian nations on turtle island with Russia. We remind all that both Canada and America are not sovereign. They are colonies.

The following Voice of Russia Radio interview, Part I, with Mohawks was aired on April 5, 2014. It is about our search for the Guswentha that Peter the Great received at the World’s First International Peace Conference in London in 1710. VOICE OF RUSSIA RADIO interview. This has since been found in Russia. American Indians Seeking 1700 Guswentha Peace Treaty Belt.

Tom Jones reminds us of who is pulling Mark ‘Carnage’ Carney’s strings: listen to the “Puppet Man”.

OLD INDIGENOUS WISDOM

Posted on by

 

MNN. MAR.  4, 2026. The indigenous people remind the world as part of our responsibilities to the generations to come, and throughout the world, that we can form covenant chains of friendship based on mutual respect. The League of Nations and United Nation tried to follow this pattern, basically for large nations not to dominate small ones. 

We respect each other’s differences. The founding of the League of Nations and United Nations were meant to show the Europeans how indigenous understood natural relationships and our way of life. All nations of the world want to link hands together in peace to help each other overcome misunderstandings. Different countries have different realities. Though we are different, putting our minds together makes us all strong. For example, one arrow may be easily broken while five tied together are strong. 

If the United States feels vulnerable, it should ask the world for help, not attack everybody. We put our minds together to get  information from each other to resolve our differences. We all want peace, prosperity and happiness. Wars destroy resources and doesn’t help us reach this goal. War is a waste of human energy. We could all be building decent housing and schools, caring for the sick, nurturing the children to help heal the land so they can grow to be strong, creative, knowledgeable and fulfilled human beings. 

We can create universal peace, prosperity and harmony. 

The red lines of the US flag represent the Indians of the land and the white lines represent the white colonists. The blue represents the sky that covers all of us. The 13 lines represent the 13 colonies. We all speak of peace. Donald Trump and his cohorts and the Israelis do not hear us and they do not represent us. We must stop anyone from bullying and killing us. We must respect the idea of the United Nations to honour the international peace treaties. The UN was modelled on the Constitution off the United States. [United States Senate [Con. Res. 76, Dec. 1987.] The US constitution is modelled on the kaianerekowa great peace of the Haudenosaunee people. The United States is a colonial power that has never understood true democracy or the requirements for living in peace. 

In the United States, the President is the Commander in Chief of the military. Under our way, war chiefs are not allowed to decide to go to war. This decision can only be made by the people. In the current attack of Iran by the US and Israel, the people of the United States did not give their permission to go to war. 

Under our way, the women can recall our representatives if they fail to listen to the people. They decide and send the men to fight to protect the life, health and welfare of our people.    

The present US administration bases its power on military and economic force. According to our way this does not make their actions legal. For us legality is founded on the consent of the people. Many Americans do not vote in their elections. To us this means they were exercising their lawful right to veto the choices presented to them. 

We call on Donald Trump and his entourage to lay down their arms and respect international law. 

We call on the King of England to exercise his prerogative power to defend his people. 

We remind the elected representatives of all countries that they do not have jurisdiction to go against the will of the people. 

Peoples throughout the world should continue their protests over the usurpation of their duties and responsibilities by their governments. The world will stand with you when you exert your will. 

We call on the unfortunate soldiers of the world to not support an illegal war and actions. Now is the time to be brave. Listen to your own minds. 

 We call on all peace loving countries to give sanctuary to any soldier who refuse to participate in an illegal war.

In these dark times, we must all stand together. We ask all soldiers to follow the will of the people. Donald Trump and Netanyahu can only conduct a war that is legal and with our support. We must not encourage those who kill in order to steal resources that are meant for the benefit of all peoples. In a world facing shortages, destruction of resources cannot bring prosperity. At all times intelligence and creativity are needed. We can solve our problems by bringing our minds together.

True soldiers listen to their people. If they are our protectors and guardians, they will not take part in an illegal war. Oppression happens when we let bullies make others pull the trigger. The United States is not acting in self-defence. They must listen to the better judgment of the other nations of the world. 

We have a term in our language, “to ho te ri wa kwen ten”, which means that “they pushed matters to a ridiculous extreme putting everything out of balance”. 

To all our relations, to the natural world, to all spirits in the universe, we must link our hands together to keep balance in the world. 

Jinx Dawson from the film Billy Jack reminds us that,”Go ahead and hate your neighbor, go ahead and cheat a friend / Do it in the name of heaven, justify it in the end / There won’t be any trumpets blowing, come the judgment day / On the bloody morning after, one tin soldier rides away“.

THE BERING STRAIT THEORY!

Posted on by

WARRIOR SOCIETY NEWSLETTER

THE ‘B.S.’ BERING STRAIT THEORY

By Louis Karonhiaktajeh Hall of April 1989

Reprinted on Feb, 18, 2026 by Mohawk Nation News

of Kahnawake Mohawk territory, Feb. 18. 2026

It grows upon us that the Bering Strait theory, once a tongue and cheek propaganda to make the Indians think that they too are aliens in their own land, has caught on as Gospel truth. The whole business supports the belief that anything unprovable if said enough times, will become absolute gospel truth. What started as an attempt by the wwhite man to legitimize the robbery of the land of America from its rightful owners, the natives of America, has been relegated to holy bigotry.   

When the “B.S.” theory [beg pardon, the Bering Strait theory] began, the theorizers said the Red Man crossed over from Asia on a “land bridge” or stepping islands like stepping stones. Our mighty ancestors took mighty strides. Now they’re saying the Indians came from Asia by way of a land bridge which disappeared after. Maybe the weight of the numbers of immigrants made the bridge collapse. Maybe, maybe… The master story tellers say the time of this migration was 12,000 years ago. The scientists can even detect, if faintly, your ancient fragrance that you left behind as you passed the the rocks.

Another set of scientists, after much reading and smelling the rocks, said that many moons ago, that there was an Ice Age that lasted about one million years ago and it covered the North American continent with a sheet of ice four miles high half way down to Mexico from the American border. They estimated the ice receded 10,000 years ago. If that’s so, then simple arithmetic tells us that the ice age had 2,000 years to go when scientists say our ancestors crossed the Arctic wastes and ice bound Canada over ice four miles thick. Let us envision the ancestors coming over  in the rarified air, four miles high and refrigerated atmosphere at least 100 below zero Fahrenheit, in thermal suits and space helmets with bottles of oxygen strapped to their backs. It was a tremendous trip of thousands of miles. 

Scientists are resourceful fellows. The first bunch decided to stick to their guns regarding the 12,000 years estimate. They took a leaf from the Holy Scriptures where Moses with his magic wand struck the Red Sea which, thereupon, parted, parted and allowed the Israelites to walk through, after which the sea returned  and swallowed the Egyptian army pursuing the Israelite refugees. The Egyptians protest the story saying there is nothing in their history about such an event. The scientists disregard that and have the leader of the future Indians in possession of an equally magical wand which parted the ice and allowed the wanderers through. The scientists don’t say it quite that way, but they revised the ice picture and have ice-free alley through which they have our ancestors walking out according to the scientific Bering Strait theory. We, too, protest there’s nothing in our history about such an event.

The ice age is also just a theory. After it was said enough times it was accepted by all, it seems, whether it’s true or not.  Why do the scientists think there was an Ice Age? There are boulders or big round like rocks laying here and there on top of the ground. How did these huge huge almost globular stones, weighing many tons, get placed where they are? Well, sir, the scientists say it was because of action by glaciers pushing tons of clay around about ready to turn into stone. Glaciers playing with masses of mud like a child playing with mud balls. If it’s an action by glaciers, then there must have been an Ice Age, otherwise there would be no boulders laying around. So they say.

As far as we’re concerned, our ancestors made their debut into this valley of happiness right here on this land of Onokwehonwekeh {America] just as the white man originated in Southern Europe, the blacks in Africa, and the Asiatics in Asia. The Bering Strait theory is a scientific propaganda to make the Okwehonwe think that they, also, are aliens in their own land and that they, the Europeans have just as much right to be in America. The scientists are trying to justify in the white people’s minds their presence on red man’s land.

The Chinese have another story. A fleet of ships left China on a trip of exploration. After a long voyage, they landed on what is now the shores of California. They left a large group of people there to form a camp in such a pleasant place while the ships went exploring further, intending to pick up their folks on their return trip. They never made it back. Only one ship finally went limping back to China. They had to leave a lot of Chinese folks marooned in California. The Chinese say this happened about 1,000 yers ago. The Chinese mixed up with the American Indian natives and being prolific left quite a bit of evidence of their visit to America. There are Indians who have oriental looks. This is what gave the scientists their idea of starting their Bering Strait propaganda. There are marked differences between the Indian and Oriental blood. The most obvious difference is the short noses on the Orientals while the American Indians have their high bridged longer noses. 

The white man again does not know when to leave anything well enough alone. Let’s say he succeeds in convincing the Chinese that the American Indians are Chinamen and that they are blood relations, wouldn’t that make the Chinese concerned about the fate facing the American Indians? All the foreign [European] governments in America holding Indians in concentration camps called “Reservations” are preparing the native Indians for extinction via assimilation.They’re no longer trying to finish off the Indians with guns. They are now trying to absorb them. Making the Indians join the white race will disappear the Indians from the national scene. That’ll happen by making the Indians naturalized Canadians or Americans “Of Indian descent”, legally no longer Indians but making them into legally white people. By law, they shall disappear. The end of the red race in keeping with the will and wishes of the white man. The red man shall be legally white but shall remain socially red just as the blacks in America are legally white but are socially black. However, because of their numbers the blacks feel they can darken the white race. Best of luck to them. The Indians because off their lowly numbers cannot darken the white race by mixing with them. 

So the Indian race does not want to mix with white race because they will disappear if they do and become extinct, which is the white man’s plan all along. By succeeding in the genocide of the red race, a crime without parallel in all history, the white man shall be proud of himself. He will say sometime in the future, “There used to be Indians on this land. We made them disappear. We made them extinct. It was a monumental job, but we did it! Now there are only three races left. If we swing it right, there shall be only one!. Halleluia!! There are Indians who don’t understand their precarious position. 

What all we American Indians [North and South America] should strive and fight for is to regain our land. Being separated and divided as we are makes us weak. Deganawida’s plan with Ayonwatha in the beginning was to bring together Five Nations in an alliance or confederacy. After Dekanawida was lgone, some elitist chiefs in the Five Nations succeeding in limiting all the power to only the Five Nations and tried to subject all the other Indian nations. It wasn’t practical then and it’s not practical now. It’s not too late for all the Indians to unite in an alliance, all equal in power and reject all elitist chiefs. 

So, if the white super scientists succeed in convincing the Chinese that the American Indian did indeed come over from Asia on the mysterious Bering Strait land bridge, wouldn’t the Chinese be bound to think: “Hey, that’s our kin folks over there on turtle island whom the occidental white men are about to apply the Mafia solution. Make them vanish without a trace! No body. No case! We can’t let our kin folks disappear from the surface of the earth! We are honor and duty bound to help them …maybe drive the white race back to Europe where they belong and keep them there … or put them on reservations and give them a dose of their own medicine…or we can arrange it with the Indians to keep turtle island while we plant. With a population of over one billion we need a lot of food…”

According to the story, China trains all their young men  in the army which is why in case of emergency, they can have a hundred million men with arms in a single day all trained and ready. More men than all of the armies of the world put together. According to the law of nature, only the strong can know peace, respect and the good things in life. The strong are respected because of fear. The white men fear China because of its colossal army. Maybe a few words from China to the promoters of the projected genocide of the Red Race may change their occidental minds and restore turtle island back to the real and rightful owners of turtle island ‘onowarekeh’. My joyful theory is in response to the doleful Bering Strait theory. 

As Kariohiaktajeh reminds us, when we look back to what we’ve done, as time passes, we are on our own”. The Kingsmen see a way of looking at this dilemma.

LAND CAREGIVERS VS. CORPORATE DEMOLISHERS

Posted on by

MNN. LAND CAREGIVERS VS. CORPORATE DEMOLISHERS. The Royal Proclamation of 1763 is a British order-in-council issued by King George III to establish the basis for relations with indigenous peoples on onowarekeh turtle island. All lands were to be retained by the indigenous and the settlers were to be restricted. The king of England bankrolled the colonial encroachment backed with military force. It was to be the framework for relations between the king’s colonial settlers and the indigenous peoples. This agreement is the foundation of  Canada’s responsibilities for all of the Canadian and US colonial settlers. This is the framework for true reconciliation. Canada is still a colony of Britain and its relationship with the indigenous is based on the Royal Proclamation 1763.

In a true democracy the indigenous people are the caretakers of all lands upon mother earth. We must all remember the truth that on this planet all living things have the same mother. She is the earth. We have the same source energy as the father. Therefore, we are all brothers and sisters. So we shall survive and coexist as family operating on our mother earth.
On onowarekeh turtle island the original holders are the “rotikonsotatie”, the coming indigenous faces. No indigenous can sell or transfer any land. The corporate goal of the colonizers was to steal and privatize our mother earth to make money for the corporate shareholders. Artificial foreign entities attacked and forced ownership of the indigenous people themselves through their artificial constructs such as the birth certificate which is all capital letters which in legalese denotes a corporation. Each municipality in colonial Canada is a corporation. The shareholders of every municipal corporation are bankers. Those same bankers also own each of the citizens of that municipality. Privatization of our land is to remove us from caring for her. Some of these violations are the Indian Act 1876, the Indian Lands Act 1925, the BNA Act 1867 and others which were crafted to remove our responsibility to our land and to the the Royal Proclamation. It is meant to drown out the voices of the original natural people of turtle island. The “Indian Act” is the Canadian colonial law that administers the genocide program of Canada to eventually eliminate or assimilate us. The Indian Act with its blood quantum is the first form of apartheid which is still in play in Canada and US to extinguish indigenous peoples. The Indian Lands Act, 1924, set the stage for the colony of Canada to claim lands and resources throughout Canada without the knowledge or consent of the original people. 

The colony of Canada used their corporate culture to make money and cut throat competition to destroy our individual rights, freedom and equality. In 1701 Queen Anne of Britain set up the Indian Trust Fund with our money, the only money around at the time. We were then declared as ‘wards of the state’. They needed our money and resources to make money as they came to turtle island with nothing. Kingston was the first capital of Canada in 1701 right in the middle of the Mohawk heartland. They made themselves the trustee of the Indian monies that came from native investments, loans, rentals and leases. None was paid back to us yet. We continue to have a lien on onowarekeh turtle island from ocean to ocean and from north to south turtle island. The King still represents the colonists and the only one who can deal with us on our rights on our homeland of turtle island on behalf of their people. He is suppose to protect us from the hordes who came.  

The King still represents the colonists and is still the only one who can deal with us on our rights on turtle island on behalf of their people. He did not stop them from swarming over here. The King knows this as he showed us in his recent trip to Canada. He came here to sign away his trusteeship in Parliament but got a letter from a clan mother that he could not and then went home. 

We were not an illiterate people. We used wampum belts and our minds to record our interactions and review them regularly in our councils and clans in the longhouse. The monarchy of England acknowledged our sovereignty and for our right to continue to exist and carry out our duties to take care of the earth where we were placed by nature. The Royal Proclamation 1763 respected our rights to care for ourselves and not to be tampered with.  They had no choice but to respect our sovereignty.  

The Royal Proclamation 1763  affirmed our guardianship of onowarekeh turtle island which we’ve had since time immemorial. The King declared on behalf of his subjects that no colonial entity, private individual or corporation would ever interfere with us. Their stay on our land was limited according to our wishes. US, UK and the colony of Canada has to go through the King to confer with us on all issues regarding our sovereignty. The King declared, “I am now the one that must deal with you on all matters regarding turtle island and we will be your protectors ffrom the intruders”. They could never evade the indigenous who were confronting them. We had this right before the Royal Proclamation 1763 and before they came here.

When the Jay Treaty of Trade and Commerce 1794 was being enacted the Kaiser of Germany insisted Article II be included to protect the indigenous so that the corporations of US and the colony of Canada did not discard the original people or the proclamation. All other European powers backed away to recognize British responsibility to support our sovereignty on turtle island. No one could limit our assertion of our sovereignty. Anything Germany had to do had to go through the King.

Pontiac showed what indigenous people were capable of doing if the Crown did not respect our ties to all our territories. It was called “a treaty of offence and defence” where we would have a right to defend ourselves anytime we decided. Belts were to be brought out every year to remind everybody of this proclamation. The wampum belts were presented to assure that the basis of our relationship was between original indigenous titleholders and North America and the King. Our dealings were to be only with the federal crown on behalf of the King. The Provinces have no say. It is now time for the provinces to get off our backs.  

The King is reminded that the Royal Proclamation is an agreement to protect us and our land from the foreign usurpers. Students and academics must now learn the rightness of our people. The King, the colony of Canada and the provinces do not own one square inch of turtle island. We never allowed anyone to remove any of our “Indian interest” on any of our land. The government, churches and society have tried to remove and murder our children and our people to hide the truth from us and the world which failed. 

The belts should be in the hands of the indigenous people. Not stolen and displayed in your museums or hidden or sold to collectors. We will remind the European royal families who hold those belts that we presented them in 1710 and of their responsibility to us right now. We offer our services to them to translate these belts given to them and all the agreements they made when they accepted them from us. Russia has already agreed to have a meeting with us regarding the six wampum belts that Peter the Great accepted in London in 1710 from the Rotinishonni Confederacy.  

REMEMBER, WE NEVER RAN FROM YOU. WE ALWAYS TRIED TO MAKE PEACE.  

Jim Morrison of the doors is taking us home with this song.” Peace frog”.
