INDIGENOUS SOLUTION TO THE WORLD’S PROBLEMS.

Posted on by

 

THIS IS  INDIAN CRISIS SURVIVAL BULLETIN NO. 7 OF APRIL 1984

OF MOHAWK VISIONARY THE LATE KARONIAKTAJEH

REPUBLISHED BY MOHAWK NATION NEWS ON FEB. 14, 2026

AS A VALENTINE PRESENT TO THE WORLD. 

White man says his is a government of the majority. It has also been said that that the majority of the people of the world are fools and that the wise and intelligent are in the minority. This makes the majority government a government of fools. But sez you: The majority of the world is controlled by a minority of oppressive exploiters which makes the majority government actually a minority government, and so it’s a government of both fools and the clever exploiters with the latter running the show. 

The standing army is the arm of the government and trained to protect and defend the system, not the people. The government uses the people, though the army are of the people. The government creates laws designed to defend and protect the government from the people and the police departments are established to enforce the laws, again using some of the people whom they first alienate by indoctrination from the other people in order to put a division into the system. The exploited people are required to pay enormous taxes to pay the costs of these institutions, the government, the standing army and the sitting police departments.

The problem is that the majority government  is not really a government for all the people, but for the super rich who are in control. Since the super rich are in control of the “free world” the solution is for the exploited people to nationalize and internationalize the corporations of the super rich. It may seem like a super trick to unhorse such super bosses who are in control of nations, but to anyone who doesn’t have to do it himself, it’s simple. The exploited merely neutralize the super rich. “How?!!” says the non-indian. First, the wisest and most intelligent of the exploited in each of all the nations will form a people’s national council by which all the people can really execute their will. The people’s national council will be like a government which does not govern nor rule but creates a good path for people to follow. The method of finding the wisest and most intelligent of the exploited is by a series of tests on the study of humanity, justice, finance, political administration, guiding the affairs of state while making the said good path for people to follow, to be passed  by the most able of them and become members of the said people’s national council which will always be accountable to the people in general.

To neutralize the super rich and to nationalize and internationalize their corporations, it is first necessary to put aside the pseudo majority governments for they operate under false pretences and have failed the people miserably. Rather than change the personnel in these obnoxious non-people’s non-majority governments, it is better to remove the system of government entirely. They should not have any objections since it’s for the good of the world. The action of removing a government is called a revolution. Removing all the governments is called a world revolution.

The incidents of bad governments, unbearable taxations, nuclear terror, oppression, persecutions and other abuses will be resolved by dissolving the present governments because of their failure to produce happiness which is the longtime hope of mankind and which is the purpose of government. Not having the capability nor the fitness, the present governments should be substituted by the people’s national council who would have the necessary brains and wisdom to fulfill the obligations. They have proven themselves by passing all the tests. The super rich do not spend their $billions and $trillions paying for the legions of government workers [some of who have nothing to do], the staggering costs of the armed forces and the police departments. Who pays for all this? The exploited. The people who work. The people pay for the protection of the super rich from them. That’s exploitation in the fullest sense of the word. By nationalizing and internationalizing the corporations of the super rich the profits thereof [in the billions and trillions] can be used to pay all national expenses and costs, thereby relieving the people of the burden of horrendous taxation. There should be no need for taxation, so say the economists who also hint that governments make the people pay dearly for having a useless government. 

The governments themselves are governed by Wall Street called “The Wall Street Shark” which has 100 members [1960], each of whom on a poor day makes a million dollars. One colossus in the membership, with portfolios of corporations was making an average of 55 $millions of dollars a day. All the government of the “free world” are under the control of this big money elite. It has been said that the Wall Street Shark regards the rest of humanity as the beast which must be kept weak and bleeding. The super money elite is directly involved in the intolerable nuclear power situation and the arms build up. The profits are enormous which are being used for further nuclear proliferation. At this rate, the white race will be extinct at the same rate of speed as the red race they are actively working to terminate. 

There is no need for an expensive war department. In the Iroquois way, every man is a protector and a defender. Every boy is trained in military strategy. He is instructed in the law and taught to defend the law. One of his duties as a warrior is to stop crime and to arrest law breakers. Every man is a policeman. This is how a government is prevented from victimizing and oppressing the people. The people are the government and they are also the police, every one. There is no alienation of policemen or the army from the people. In the Iroquois system, called the “Warrior Society” by the white man, there is no draft call up, special indoctrination [brainwashing] to turn the draftees into killers and after a war, release them among the people where so many of them commit a lot of crimes. 

Crimes are dealt with by the defenders in training and after their course of training, are always on standby in case of emergencies such as fires, fights, riots, invasions and troubles of all kinds. The Warrior Society also teaches the young whatever is necessary to know, academic subjects besides the art of fighting. All this costs nothing to taxpayers as there are no taxpayers. All of this is defayed by the profits  from the nationalized and internationalized corporations of the super rich. Isn’t this a superior system compared to what is now in use which the general public is forced to pay for?

Mankind at present is under a ominous cloud of destruction and deaths from a cruel disease caused by contamination from a nuclear fallout. The white man’s government in America, north and south, are so intent on making the Indians extinct that they don’t notice they are doing the same thing to their own people. We’ve read of psychopathic killers who are obsessed and cannot stop themselves. The masters of the world are likewise obsessed by their dangerous nuclear toy and cannot stop themselves, even though they may realize they will also be destroyed along with their victims. The millions of innocent and accidental future victims of this world madness are duty bound to protect and defend each other and themselves. It is their duty to stop this threat to their existence and must find ways and means to stop it. This headlong descent to destruction can only be halted by abolishing the present order which is a disorder. It shouldn’t be too hard. There are only 100 members in the big money elite, responsible for this terrible state of affairs. Perform a citizen’s arrest and keep the big money elite under detention and doing some kind of occupation safe for society. Detain their scientists [nuclear and atomic] and keep them engaged in beneficial sciences, not those that would destroy mankind. 

After abolishing the no-good governments, their  economic systems and implementing the above mentioned superior Iroquois type government, the people in general can breathe easier. The nuclear holocaust will be averted. An era of real peace will be experienced by people everywhere. Having achieved a better government and society, the white man’s improved governments in America will be more inclined to render better justice to the Aboriginal people of America. They may relent to the point that they’ll restore the stolen land back to the Indians so the Indians can once again have their own traditional governments, practice their own culture and enjoy their own society. Surely, the immigrants from Europe can see it in their conscience to restore these back to the Indians.

The US and Canada want to pay only 25 cents an acre for land claims awards. They haven’t enough money to pay for the land taken from the Indians. US 3,615,211 square miles at current price of $1,000 an acre equals $2,313,735,040,000. In the trillions! at 25 cents an acre equals $578,433,760.

CANADA’S LAST SUPPER

Posted on by

COMMENTS KAHENTINETHA “MOHAWK MOTHERS” PRESS CONFERENCE APRIL 30th 2025 McGill University

As Canada. prepares to sit down for its last meal, Bob Dylan is singing in the background, “The Masters of War”. “Come on you masters of war, you that build the big guns, you that build the death planes, you that hide behind the walls, you that sit behind desks. I just want you to know that I can see through your masks”.

Sego ki’akwehgo

This is the last supper of the artificial entity of Canada.  Thank you for being with us and for showing your support. 

We are here for a very important and, sadly, tragic announcement which it is our duty to share with you.

Despite what McGill has been stating publicly since the beginning of this investigation in a denialist attempt to hide their history of criminal experiments and abuse against our people, we have been informed that undeniable evidence of human remains has now been discovered. In fact, McGill and the SQI have commissioned this report themselves, so they should be the ones sharing these tragic findings with the public. They said they were committed to transparency, but they are not. 

In one area near the Allan Memorial Institute of McGill University, where the infamous medical experiments known as MK-Ultra took place, investigations using three separate remote-sensing technologies have finally been completed. We have received a report combining these results that states that, quote, “The combination of three separate lines of evidence supports the presence of human remains” near the Allan Memorial Institute.

These three technologies included Ground Penetrating Radar, three teams of Historic Human Remains Detection Dogs, and, most recently, the use of the S4 Subterra Grey Probe — which was designed specifically to detect human burials.

The results of all three of those techniques support the presence of human remains on the site that survivors and community members like us have been trying to protect for four years. 

McGill says that absence of evidence is evidence of absence. What we say — and what the experts say — is that the presence of evidence is evidence of presence.

Apart from this zone, several other zones of concern have been identified on the site, including other targets where dogs alerted and worrisome results from ground penetrating radar reports, which all warrant further investigation.

This morning, we sent an official letter to assistant chief coroner Géhane Kamel notifying her office of these tragic findings and requesting their intervention to protect and properly investigate the death of the person, or their remains, in this unmarked burial that was detected on the site of the Allan Memorial Institute.

We reached out to the coroner, first, because the law requires people to inform the coroner of the presence of human remains, quote, “where it appears that the death has occurred as a result of negligence or in obscure or violent circumstances”. Second, we chose to contact coroner Géhane Kamel specifically because of her work investigating the role of systemic racism in the death of Joyce Echaquan, an Atikamekw woman, at the Joliette hospital. We feel that in this important work coroner Kamel demonstrated a strong sensitivity and respect for Indigenous concerns and traditional protocols.

We think that this represents an unprecedented opportunity to find new and innovative pathways toward reconciliation through a joint investigation including both the coroner’s office and Mohawk experts. We thus asked the coroner to work with Indigenous experts, a Mohawk medical pathologist and a Mohawk archaeologist, alongside cultural monitors, to ensure a credible, transparent and impartial investigation — one that can help our community find the truth about what happened to us at the Royal Victoria and at McGill.

The reason why it is so urgent right now to protect and investigate this area is because McGill and the SQI [Quebec Department of Infrastructures] have already announced their intention to excavate the zone the same way they did where the dogs first identified the scent of human remains, back in June 2023 in front of the Hersey Pavilion.

You can see what’s happening in front of that building right now: A massive construction project is going on full blown for McGill’s New Vic Project, using $650 million dollars of Quebec taxpayers’ money to privatize land that they promised would serve for health care in perpetuity. Historic Human Remains Detection Dogs identified the scent of human remains in that area in 2023, and disturbing discoveries were made when they started digging there. Two fragments of a pair of children’s shoes from the beginning of the 20th century. A layer that had a horrible smell like something decomposing. And many bones. But instead of listening to the recommendations of the archaeologists we had jointly approved, McGill and the SQI decided to fire them when they started asking for forensic precaution to preserve that evidence. Instead of sifting the soil immediately like they were supposed to as explicitly indicated in the legally binding settlement agreement, McGill and SQI let the piles of soil rot under the sun and the rain for three months, before putting the soil in trucks to move it out of the way of their development project. They ended up sifting the piles with a huge mechanical machine used for mining, and which is never used in archaeology. Then they told us the hundreds of bone fragments they found there were too small to identify. How is that for a university teaching archeology and supposed to value science? Despite their promises to do it, those bones were never tested in a lab. The case was closed. Our cultural monitors and archaeologists on the site, and many other experts we consulted, were adamant that the mistreatment of the evidence and the use of that big machine destroyed the very fragile bones in the soil.

Desecration of human remains is a crime. And it’s still a crime if its an Indigenous person, by the way. We reported McGill and the SQI’s mistreatment to the Superior Court and we won that case. The Judge saw that they distorted the words of our agreement to fire the experts that we agreed upon. He ordered them to listen to the experts’ recommendations. But they appealed the decision, and it was overturned for procedural reasons that had nothing to do with what actually happened. The colonial court system is not our system. Our system seeks to right any wrongs and to understand one another.

Because the colonial legal system is incapable of protecting our rights, despite all the talk about reconciliation and the United Nations Declaration, we have no choice but to take the matter into our own hands, and to request the coroner to use her powers and expertise, and to work with our communities to implement a thorough, respectful and honest investigation. Our lost children and loved ones can’t wait any longer. They ask us to find them. Because we can’t afford to lose them again the way we did on the New Vic site, we will be keeping constant vigil and monitoring the site to make sure it is not destroyed until the area is secured for a proper investigation. We also invite the public to report any suspicious activity to us.

You can join a collective of people who have been supporting and working with us. Contact the “Kahnistensera solidarity collective”.

We will not let this genocide, and its coverup, continue. Everyone should have the right to live and rest in peace.

Bob Dylan continues the message, “I hope that you die and your death will come soon. They will bury your casket in the pale afternoon. I will watch while you are lowered into your death bed. I will stand over you until you are dead.”

MEDIA ADVISORY

For immediate release

Press conference and media availability: 

To protect their ancestors’ graves, the Mohawk Mothers will be taking their case to the Supreme Court for recognition of their right to an independent inquiry into the unmarked graves of Indigenous and non-Indigenous children buried clandestinely on tekanontak (“mount royal”, kanien’kehà:ka/rotiononhsión:ni land occupied by McGill University), the site of the former Royal Victoria Hospital and Allan Memorial Psychiatric Institute. Following the Court of Appeal of Québec overturning the Superior Court of Québec decision’s to this effect at the request of McGill University and the Quebec government (via the Société québécoise des infrastructures, SQI), the Kanien’kehà:ka kahnistensera and the Independent Special Interlocutor Kimberly Murray will be holding a press conference with their supporters on Tuesday, October 15, 2024 at noon in front of the Supreme Court of Canada (301 Wellington Street, Ottawa to report on this major moment in which they are turning to the Supreme Court of Canada.

What: Rally, ceremonies and press conference in front of the Supreme Court of Canada in the presence of Kanien’kehà:ka kahnistensera (Mohawk Mothers) and Independent Special Advocate Kimberly Murray.

The Kanien’kehà:ka kahnistensera (Mohawk Mothers) will share information with the media on the filing of a motion before the Supreme Court of Canada to ensure that the search for anonymous graves of victims of medical experiments at Montreal’s former Royal Victoria Hospital be overseen by the panel of experts selected in collaboration with McGill and the SQI in April 2023. McGill and the SQI unilaterally disbanded the panel in the summer of 2023, leading the Superior Court of Québec to order its reinstatement in a decision that was subsequently overturned by the Court of Appeal of Quebec. In the company of Independent Special Interlocutor Kimberly Murray, and in accordance with traditional kanien’kehá:ka and rotiononhsión:ni protocols, the Mohawk Mothers will explain why they are turning to the Supreme Court in their battle to enforce their traditional responsibility to care for the land and protect the children of past, present and future generations.

After their speeches, the speakers will take questions from journalists on site.

SPITTING BEARS – COUNTDOWN TO OCT. 25, 2024 ‘FINAL SOLUTION’

Posted on by

The Red-X.  His eyes are black cavernous void leading directly into the 5th demension.

MNN. Feb. 5, 2024. The Red X is reminding us of the finalization on October 25, 2024 of the “final solution to the Indian problem”.  

Framework Fraud – Part 2 is an MNN reprint of March 3, 2019 of the plans of the colonial settlers of Canada for the “final solution of the indian problem”. The indigenous people who have been placed on turtle island by creation will be eliminated as the original people of this land by the stroke of the colonial invader’s pen to be forced to become “canadiens” [squatters on our land]. The “100 year business plan” was set in place by Prime Minister Duncan Campbell Scott on October 25, 1924, who is the author and executioner of this insidious plan. The final day of our existence as the natural people is planned for October 25, 2024, the date of the Indian Lands Acts. 

The Red X from the fifth dimension gives his opinion on the “The Framework Agreement” from the Fifth Dimension where he comes from. “Let the sunshine. Let the sunshine in. The sunshine in. Come on everybody. Just sing along and let the sunshine in. Open your heart. Let it shine on in. You got to feel it. Open up your heart and let it shine on in.

MOHAWK MOTHERS DECLARE THE GENOCIDE IS OVER

Posted on by

Please post & distribute immediately. Thank you.

COMMENTS TO QUEBEC SUPERIOR COURT FOR DECLARATORY RELIEF AND TO OBTAIN A SAFEGUARD ORDER ON SEPT. 14, 2023. CASE #500-17-120468-221: Kaheninetha et al v. SQI, McGill University, et all.; and Intervenors Independant Spedical Interlocateur for Missing Children & Unmarked Graves…. 

MNN. Sept. 15, 2023. “Shé :kon Sewakwe :kon. I am Kahentinetha, a Kahnistensera. I’m 84 years old, a great grand mother. Much of what we are doing at McGill and SQI are based on my experience, and that of the people I’ve known.

I was born in 1940. Many of our teachers at the day school I attended as a child were soldiers who just came back from the war. They were in charge and took a military approach to help Canada to annihilate us. They moved from the European theatre and to home grown Canadian war for Indian land, which continues to this day. They are trained killers sent to train the Indigenous children. It was the army managing us. Managing our disappearance. I have known about what was done to our children, to Inuit children too, in some of these hospitals. Children strapped to their stretchers, trapped in caskets. Horrible things. They came to get the weakest and the strongest of us. Intelligence tests at the Allan Memorial Institute to screen us and incarcerate the unruly, of which they studied the mind, to understand how it is that we think, the reasons why we are still ourselves, Onkwehonweh, and never became Canadians.

I’m here for these lost children, to know what happened to them, and who did it, without lawyers and no funds, just using our way against the corporation of Canada.

That’s why I came to the crime site on Mount Royal every day, without pay, to do the words to open the day, to see how things are going, that our ancestors and children are respected and that they are being found. It wasn’t easy. The toilets were filthy. We had to walk through dangerous construction sites, high fences around, and the security attacking us. A nightmare. I was reminded of when my daughter was stabbed in the chest by a soldier in 1990. Genocide is a nightmare that I have been through and that I witnessed. My family was targeted as a traditional longhouse family. Non-Indigenous people often have a hard time understanding that. They were and are still not told the complete story. If we could get the archives we are asking for, if there was a real commitment to transparency for ethnic crimes committed on us in the post-war period, it would help us. 

Justice Moore stated in the injunction that he ordered last October that no party disputed the fact that the investigation must be “Indigenous-led”. The settlement agreement provided that Cultural Monitors appointed by the Kahnistensera must be on the site. Only a fraction of our cultural monitors have received a basic safety training, and certainly nothing that would allow us to securely monitor heavy machinery on the site. We have no real protective equipment to do that. We were expected to use filthy toilets that were on the other side of the site, in an area under construction where they were stockpiling bricks in high stacks, that could fall on us at any time. We were attacked by the SQI’s security guards, and SQI  told us they wouldn’t come back, but we just stumbled on them last Sunday still working there. They were there all the time! I don’t understand how it can be so complicated to understand what Indigenous-led means! It means something that is safe for us to do things our own way, to burn our tobacco, to make decisions together using our consensual decision making system. Now the Defendants say something new that they didn’t even tell us about before starting to drill the site. They say they built another fenced area in between all the other fences, creating an open air prison to put us in and hopefully protect us from rocks flying over and guards insulting us. By any stretch of the imagination this cannot be considered lawful, let alone safe, in any law, Mohawk or Canadian.

Being on the site was not easy in a context where the Defendants apparently do not want us to be there at all. We are facing constant pressure. The slightest attitude that doesn’t fit within non-Indigenous people’s understanding of what it means to be nice was denounced immediately. I was very sorry to learn that Sophie Mayes from the SQI resorted to pulling emails from some service providers that they had contracted who apparently did not like the way us Mohawk women conduct ourselves. I do not want to perpetuate and thus endorse the Defendants’ disturbing use of defamation and ad hominem attacks through quoting non-Indigenous third parties in their submissions. Such accusations are absolutely baseless and reflect the fundamental problem with the way the Defendants unilaterally sign contracts with service providers that end up thinking they work for them, along with non-disclosure agreements and a client-provider relation that excludes the Indigenous people who are the only party that has a vested interest in the credibility of the investigation. When someone like Brian Whiting, department manager at GeoScan, says that he was upset by what I told him when he came to see me last weekend during a GPR survey, he doesn’t say that what I was asking him about is why we cannot access the raw data from the GPR, and why experts cannot get that data and analyse it. He finally admitted that it was because he is under contract with the SQI, and his allegiance goes to who is paying. At the same time, as Kwetiio said before, Mr Whiting’s own recommendations were not followed by the Defendants regarding the unknown anomalies. The SQI and McGill simply decided to ignore them. I know the settlement agreement does not allow them to do that. Nobody on our side of the room would ever have signed such a document.

To finish, I have something to say that I learned after my affidavit was completed, and that I couldn’t include in our submissions. But it happened. An indigenous person called me, who had been contacted by Pierre Major from McGill University, starting a few weeks ago, and again these last days. McGill was searching for a cultural monitor for archaeological work at the Royal Victoria site. This was done without telling us, or involving us, as if McGill wanted to continue their work by hiring their own monitors. The settlement agreement provides that it is the Kahnistensera who appoint the cultural monitors. The person was offered a good salary, a hotel, benefits, and a McGill masters degree. Mr. Major also said a few disparaging words about us, the Mohawk Mothers. We were ‘mean’ women who were not nice to security guards on the site. Aggressive, hysterical women, basically. Obviously the person didn’t believe a word of it. He said he knows how Indigenous woman are. It’s not the first time I’m contacted by people who are approached that way by the Defendants. I ask you to stop this now and show some respect for your elders. I am your elder too. It’s clear to me that the service providers were constantly hearing bad things about us, and became very reactive and apprehensive when we approached them. But the majority of them were very nice and asked us questions, including the two technicians from GeoScan that Mr. Whiting described as upset by our presence. Actually they asked us a lot of questions, and we explained them. They told us about their work to help us explain this to our people. They participated in our ceremonies. The way it should be, very simply, to be real human beings, Onkwehonweh. That’s the way we can truly change our relationship and become free.

I know it’s my right to do this. It’s my responsibility according to the Kaianerehkowa. I am a Kahnistensera, and I declare the genocide is now over.”

 

 

So as Willie Nelson reminds everyone, the party’s over.

SELF-SUPPORT TERMED INDIAN GOAL

Posted on by

Please post & distribute.

Feb 1, 2023.

 

 

Recently the Kahnistenseras of Kahnawake were invited to Hart House of University of Toronto to speak about current indigenous issues. 

 Globe & Mail 1964 republication  of Feb. 11, 1965. ProQuest Historical Newspapers : “Self-Support Indian Goal“

     

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Kahentinetha Horn, a lissum Indian, forecast an Indian in the future of every University of Toronto student who jammed Hart House art gallery yesterday to hear her talk on the arts and culture of contemporary Indians.                                       Miss Horn prophesied that in 35 years, Canada’s Indian population would be 1,800,000 – or roughly one out of every 25 persons. would be an Indian, she said.          “You are the privileged of the privileged”, she told the students. “You are the 82 per cent of the  future leaders of Canada” – I represent the despairing 1 per cent who are multiplying rapidly in Canada. Now is the time you must learn about Indians to help us achieve our main goal.”                                                                        The first goal of Indians is to be able to support themselves, she said.                       On each Wall of Hart House gallery hung paintings by Norval Morrisseau, Ojibway Indian from Beardmore, Ont.  “They conveyed a message of the past”, Miss Horn said.  “Such art flows through the blood of my brothers and sisters – but most of the benefits reaches the white man’s salons?”                                                        While Indian culture certainly encompasses significant art form, the arts of Indians have leaned more to warfare and politics, Miss Horn said.                                “For 20,000 years, the Indians have had a struggle to survive the forces of nature.  The cultural arts come only with leisure –  after survival.” The greats of her ancestors, the Iroquois, were related to politics and warfare. The United Nations concepts are modelled on the Iroquois Confederacy, for example. Their arts of warfare are the reasons the students speak English today instead of French, she said. That’s why you have Prime Minister Pearson as leader instead of President de Gaulle”.                                                                                                        Most Indians, Miss Horn said, are unemployable. “I’m afraid technical sciences will keep Indians unemployable. We haven’t time to think about our arts. We have to keep our people alive. How to keep our women alive, for example, past the age of 45. Why does one out of 10 of our babies die before the age of 4? Don’t ask me why; nobody has ever researched the reason. It’s just a statistic. We need housing, medical care, community planning, training and education. We need an interest in welfare –  there’ll be one of us in thec future for every one of you. 

     Note to readers: The population of indigenous people in Canada today is 1.800,000.  

MOHAWK MOTHERS GRANTED – INJUNCTION OCT 27/22

kanien’kehá:ka kahnistensera (Mohawk Mothers)

kahnistensera@riseup.net

November 14, 2022

Update on next steps – Mohawk Mothers vs SQI et al.

Please post & distribute.

 

On Thursday October 27, 2022 at the Quebec Superior Court, Montreal District, the Kanien’kehá:ka Kahnistensera (Mohawk Mothers) made history as Justice Gregory Moore granted an interlocutory injunction to immediately halt “any excavation in furtherance of the redevelopment of the Allan Memorial Institute or the Royal Victoria Hospital” until the parties have completed discussions regarding the best archaeological practices to be used.

 

 

This landmark decision was the first time in Canada that self-represented Indigenous people won an injunction without using attorneys and based on their own governance system, the Kaianerehkowa (Great Peace). In court, the Mohawk Mothers were facing numerous adversaries including top lawyers from McGill University, the Société Québécoise des Infrastructures (SQI), the McGill University Health Center (MUHC), the Royal Victoria Hospital, the City of Montreal, the Attorney General of Canada and the Attorney General of Quebec. 

 

Kimberly Murray, the Independent Special Interlocutor appointed by the Federal government to determine a new legal framework to address the unmarked graves of Indigenous children that are currently found throughout Canada, also joined the case as a “friend of the court”,  represented by lawyers Julian N. Falconer and Daniel Worme.

 

Justice Moore’s court order was issued on the basis of the plaintiffs’ (Mohawk Mothers) concerns that Indigenous children were used as test subjects in medical experiments at the Royal Victoria Hospital and were buried on the site scheduled to be redeveloped. These concerns were based on both archival evidence and witness accounts, including the first-hand account from Lana Ponting, an 81 year old survivor of the CIA-funded MK-Ultra mind control experiments that took place at the Allan Memorial Institute, the Royal Victoria Hospital and McGill University’s department of psychiatry. In addition, the Mohawk Mothers pleaded that the land is the exact location of the precolonial Iroquoian village of Tekanontak (Mount Royal), and was used as a burial site before the arrival of Europeans, which warrants the necessity of using appropriate archaeological means to preserve the history of Iroquoian peoples.

 

Throughout the hearing on October 26th and 27th, the defendants and promoters of the redevelopment project used an array of technical and legal arguments that attempted to convey the idea that the plaintiffs were

(i) in the wrong forum to lay their claims as other administrative processes exist for such questions in the province of Québec;

(ii) that the promoters have not broken any laws and are respecting the Quebec Heritage Act, which the plaintiffs ask to be declared unconstitutional at the future merits stage of the court proceedings, because it considers Indigenous heritage as the property of Quebec and does not include any mandatory consultation of Indigenous people regarding their heritage;

(iii) that most of the evidence submitted by the plaintiffs and the Special Interlocutor Murray, including the Truth and Reconciliation Commission’s report, was not eligible for technical reasons; and

(iv) that the six plaintiffs did not represent the Mohawk people – which the plaintiffs esteem as there is no “power of attorney” in Indigenous culture, where every individual is free and self-represented.

 

The Mohawk Mothers emphasized that it is their cultural duty to caretake their traditional territory and the children of past, present and future generations. They also argued that allowing excavation work on the site would cause irreparable harm to their identity, history, and trust as Indigenous people. They also stressed that the situation was urgent because all the other existing means to make their concerns heard were exhausted to no avail. As a matter of fact, the shovels had already broken the ground two days before the hearing with archaeological excavation starting in front of the hospital’s Hersey pavilion – an act which became illegal when the court ruling was issued. 

Justice Moore’s ruling, available online, acknowledged that the balance of convenience favored the plaintiffs, who would “suffer irreparable harm if the excavation work is not suspended for the time it takes to develop an appropriate archaeological plan to identify any unmarked graves”, following the best practices determined by the Canadian Archaeological Association. The ruling thus invited the parties to “speak out of court to settle their differences on an amicable basis”. The promoters were reminded of the Royal Victoria Hospital re-qualification project that the Call to Action 76 of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission encourages “public and para-public institutions like McGill University and the SQI” to respect the following guidelines:

“i. the Aboriginal community most affected shall lead the development” of the investigation;

ii. Input must be sought from Survivors and Knowledge Keepers in developing those strategies;

“iii. Aboriginal protocols shall be respected before any invasive technical inspection and investigation of a cemetery site”. The ruling also ordered the defendants to fund the investigation. 

 

Throughout the next months, the Mohawk Mothers will thus be working on developing an archaeological plan which they will submit to the other parties for review one month before the next case management conference with Justice Moore, in January or February 2023. The plan will follow the best practices determined by the Canadian Archaeological Association for searching unmarked graves, drawing on non-damaging remote-sensing technologies to assess what is under the soil without disturbing the remains, and basing the investigation on archival research and interviews with survivors. Kanien’keha:ka longhouse protocols will be followed throughout the process, which will also involve traditional knowledge keepers from other Indigenous peoples, whose own protocols regarding burial sites must also be respected. The Kahnistensera are looking forward to developing a comprehensive archaeological plan which will do justice to their families, ancestors and to all survivors of colonial violence. 

The humming of Sam Cooke’s  “It’s been a long time coming/ But I know a change is gonna come” resonates across Tekanontak, as the Kahnistensera’s legal endeavor makes changes for the children yet to come never to be denied anymore. Fear will be overcome, and the path will be cleared for Onkwehonwe to live in peace on their our land, as creation intended.

IMPORTANT NOTICE REGARDING SOLIDARITY

Posted on by

IMPORTANT  –

MOHAWK NATION NEWS NOTICE –

SOLIDARITY ACTIONS –

KAHNISTENSERA

SHEKON

MNN. Oct. 16, 2022. Sego. This is an important notice regarding the solidarity actions with the Mohawk Mothers that happened this week and the demonstration tomorrow. We knew nothing about this. 

The SQI has written to the Judge reporting that the offices of Arkéos were vandalized this week by people claiming to act on behalf of the Mohawk Mothers.

We are being held accountable legally of all such actions at this time, as the opponents are trying to construe us as criminals before the Judge with less than two weeks remaining before the hearing at the court on October 26, 2022.

As the plaintiffs in this matter we are being falsely considered as prime suspects in organizing these actions, thus risking police searches and prosecution, even though we have absolutely nothing to do with any of this. We remain in Kahnawake and work full time on court matters. We were not even aware that a demo was being organized. We greatly appreciate tokens of solidarity and demonstrations, but we ask you to be mindful of the dire legal repercussions for us, and the high risk of jeopardizing all the work we have invested for more than one year to obtain an injunction, which could be ruined, as well as the hope of our families to know the truth and get justice.

We invite you to consult our statements on Mohawk Nation News since last November 2021 to understand our position of peace and respect. We remind you all that skennen, peace, is one of the three pillars of the Kaianerehkowa (Great Peace), which has been and remains the way of Anowarakeh (Turtle Island) since time immemorial. It would harm us a lot if anyone was hurt, because our one and only objective as onkwehonwe and kahnistensera is to caretake the land and find our children in accordance with the Kaianerehkowa Kanien’keha:ka
