Activists planted a pine on McGill University’s in downtown Montreal campus to promote peace.
t
Great White Pine The Tree of Peace
On Sunday activists planted a tree in “hopes for justice for all oppressed peoples around the world.”
Katsi’tsakwas Ellen Gabriel said the great white pine is a symbol of peace. The small tree was brought from Kanesatake to be planted to promote peace among all people. The tree planting ceremony was conducted by the Traditional Longhouse people on the university’s lower field, where a pro-Palestinian encampment stood for over two months last spring.
All injunction requests that were filed in Quebec court were rejected. McGill hired a private security firm to dismantle the camp in July. Activists felt that McGill has been suppressing students’ free speech.
Though McGill told Gabriel and other activists that they were not allowed to plant the tree on campus, security didn’t stop the activists.
Many donned keffiyehs and carried Palestinian, other flags and the Mohawk Warrior Society flag. Gabriel said the tree planting was “a gesture of solidarity for all those who are fighting for peace for people everywhere. It’s important to promote this message of peace. We want wars to stop. We want peace for everybody.” said Gabriel.
McGill was informed twice that a group planned to plant the white pine as a “permanent monument.”
In 1779 George Washington’s favorite general, John Sullivan, marched with 13,800 men through Seneca country to Onondaga to chop down the white pine, the great tree of peace. Natives of north and south America knew about this tree of peace. It was the greatest crime ever committed by the settlers on turtle island, and they doomed themselves to forever become the Republic of War.
“When we were told that this plan would not be approved, we received a reply stating ‘We reiterate that we will be planting a tree of peace on Nov. 17,’ and that ‘We will decide what to do on our homelands,’”
McGill had “various reasons” to reject the tree’s planting. “McGill’s commitment to the spirit of reconciliation is enduring” through other university initiatives. Okay, let’s plant the tree together somewhere else for the next seven generations to behold our joint act of peace today? Gabriel reminded McGill that “You are on our homeland, and we want everyone to act peacefully.”
“The tree is a symbol of peace that the world badly needs,” said Gabriel. McGill and the people could together plant it elsewhere.
Listen to the two main speakers: tekarontake and katsitsakwas:
Margaret Whiting in the 1940s sang a beautiful song about a tree in the meadow. Let us plant the indigenous white pine somewhere so that we all can watch it grow into beauty and power: there’s a tree in the meadow with a stream drifting by, and carved upon that tree I see ‘I’ll love you until I die. I will always remember the love in your eye… but further on down lover’s lane a silhouette I see. I know you are kissing someone else. I wish it were me by that tree in the meadow…
MNN. NOV. 12, 2024. Akwesasne 8 DISMISSED. NY Power Authority fails to produce documents necessary to move forward. The charges of Conspiracy to a Felony, and Trespassing against the six of the Akwesasne 8, who appeared today, were dismissed today at Massena Town Court. The District Attorney stated that New York Power Authority (NYPA) did not produce appropriate documents to move forward. Researchers for the Akwesasne 8 had gone to the St. Lawrence County Office for Deeds and Records to find a Deed/Land Title showing NYPA ownership. There is no record. When discovery documents were offered to the Akwesasne 8, each asked whether the documents contained a Title to the land on which the Akwesasne 8 were arrested. The District Attorney implied such documents were not part of the discovery packets.
In March 2022, Federal Judge Kahn of the Northern New York District of US Federal Court, ruled that New York State possession of Mohawk land is a violation of the Nonintercourse Act which prohibits land transfer of Indian land to non-Indians without Congressional approval. On May 22, 2024 eight Kanienke’háka were arrested for Trespassing at Niionenhiasekówahne (Barnhart Island). Seven of the eight were charged with Conspiracy to a Felony. One person was charged with a Felony. There is a long history of Onkwehonwe relations to Niionenhiasekowá:ne (Barnhart Island) – from the Dish With One Spoon Agreement, to Onkwehonwe families living on the island, and continue today through Kanienke’háka assertion of hunting, fishing, tree tapping, and medicine gathering liberties.
The Akwesasne Mohawk Land Claim Settlement agreement seeks to sever Onkwehonwe relationship to Niionenhiasekowá:ne, formally ceding the island’s title to New York State for $70 million and subjecting our hunting and gathering rights to foreign governments. The Onkwehonwe that began construction at Niionenhiasekowá:ne acted in assertion of Kanienke’háka inherent and original rights as well as the pre-existing governance of Kaienerekowa. “The Band Council, Tribe, state and federal governments are outside Kaienerekowa governance as younger governmental entities cannot and will not ostracize us from our lands and waters.” Said one of the Akwesasne 8. “We are going back to Niionenhiasekowá:ne because it is Kanienke’háka land.” A group of the Akwesasne 8 stated.

Office of the Independent Special Interlocutor for Missing Children and Unmarked Graves and Burial Sites associated with Indian Residential Schools
The Indian Lands Act of October 25, 1924, is the beginning of the “100 year plan, the root of all the evil of the colony Canada to take indigenous lands throughout onowarekeh turtle island. The government of Canada seized all sovereign unceded indigenous territories. All reservations were designed as POW camps for the indians. 530 reservations were created across the Dominion. Their framework agreement is based upon this act which is the root of all the evil.
An Act for the settlement of certain questions between the Governments of Canada and Ontario respecting Indian Reserve Lands
S.C. 1924, c. 48
Assented to 1924-07-19
An Act for the settlement of certain questions between the Governments of Canada and Ontario respecting Indian Rights:
Marginal note:Agreement binding, and Governor in Council authorized to carry out its provisions
1 The agreement between the Dominion of Canada and the Province of Ontario, in the terms set out in the schedule hereto, shall be as binding on the Dominion of Canada as if the provisions thereof had been set forth in an Act of this Parliament, and the Governor in Council is hereby authorized to carry out the provisions of the said agreement.
SCHEDULE
Reserve Lands
His Majesty, by and with the advice and consent of the Senate and House of Commons of Canada, enacts as follow
Memorandum of Agreement made in triplicate this 24th day of March 1924.
Between the Government of the Dominion of Canada, acting herein by the Honourable Charles Stewart, Superintendent General of Indian Affairs, of the first part,
And the Government of the Province of Ontario, acting herein by the Honourable James Lyons, Minister of Lands and Forests, and the Honourable Charles McCrea, Minister of Mines, of the second part.
Whereas from time to time treaties have been made with the Indians for the surrender for various considerations of their personal and usufructuary rights to territories now included in the Province of Ontario, such considerations including the setting apart for the exclusive use of the Indians of certain defined areas of land known as Indian Reserves; [actually prisons]
And Whereas, except as to such Reserves, the said territories were by the said treaties freed, for the ultimate benefit of the Province of Ontario, of the burden of the Indian rights, and became subject to be administered by the Government of the said Province for the sole benefit thereof;
And Whereas the surrender of the whole or some portion of a Reserve by the band of Indians to whom the same was allotted has, in respect of certain Reserves in the Provinces of Ontario and Quebec, been under consideration in certain appeals to the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council, and the respective rights of the Dominion of Canada and the Province of Ontario, upon such surrenders being made, depend upon the law as declared by the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council and otherwise affecting the Reserve in question, and upon the circumstances under which it was set off;
And Whereas on the 7th day of July, 1902, before the determination of the last two of the said appeals, it had been agreed between counsel for the Governments of the Dominion of Canada and the Province of Ontario, respectively, that, as a matter of policy and convenience, and without thereby affecting the constitutional or legal rights of either of the said Governments, the Government of the Dominion of Canada should have full power and authority to sell, lease and convey title in fee simple or for any less estate to any lands forming part of any Reserve thereafter surrendered by the Indians, and that any such sales, leases or other conveyances as had theretofore been made by the said Government should be confirmed by the Province of Ontario, the Dominion of Canada, however, holding the proceeds of any lands so sold, leased or conveyed subject, upon the extinction of the Indian interest therein and so far as such proceeds had been converted into money, to such rights of the Province of Ontario as might exist by law;
And Whereas by the said agreement it was further provided that, as to the Reserves set aside for the Indians under a certain treaty made in 1873 and recited in the Schedule to the Dominion Statute, 54-55 Victoria,chapter 5, and the Statute of the Province of Ontario, 54 Victoria, chapter 3, the precious metals should be considered to form part thereof and might be disposed of by the Dominion of Canada in the same way and subject to the same conditions as the land in which they existed, and that the question whether the precious metals in the lands included in Reserves set aside under other treaties were to be considered as forming part thereof or not, should be expressly left for decision in accordance with the circumstances and the law governing each;
Now This Agreement Witnesseth that the parties hereto, in order to settle all outstanding questions relating to Indian Reserves in the Province of Ontario, have mutually agreed, subject to the approval of the Parliament of Canada and the Legislature of the Province of Ontario, as follows:
1 All Indian Reserves in the Province of Ontario heretofore or hereafter set aside, shall be administered by the Dominion of Canada for the benefit of the band or bands of Indians to which each may have been or may be allotted; portions thereof may, upon their surrender for the purpose by the said band or bands, be sold, leased or otherwise disposed of by letters patent under the Great Seal of Canada, or otherwise under the direction of the Government of Canada, and the proceeds of such sale, lease or other disposition applied for the benefit of such band or bands, provided, however, that in the event of the band or bands to which any such Reserve has been allotted becoming extinct, or if, for any other reason, such Reserve, or any portion thereof is declared by the Superintendent General of Indian Affairs to be no longer required for the benefit of the said band or bands, the same shall thereafter be administered by, and for the benefit of, the Province of Ontario, and any balance of the proceeds of the sale or other disposition of any portion thereof then remaining under the control of the Dominion ofCanada shall, so far as the same is not still required to be applied for the benefit of the said band or bands of Indians, be paid to the Province of Ontario, together with accrued unexpended simple interest thereon. THIS IS THE 100 YEAR PLAN!
2 Any sale, lease or other disposition made pursuant to the provisions of the last preceding paragraph may include or may be limited to the minerals (including the precious metals) contained in or under the lands sold, leased or otherwise disposed of, but every grant shall be subject to the provisions of the statute of the Province of Ontario entitled “The Bed of Navigable Waters Act”, Revised Statutes of Ontario, 1914, chapter thirty-one.
3 Any person authorized under the laws of the Province of Ontario to enter upon land for the purpose of prospecting for minerals thereupon shall be permitted to prospect for minerals in any Indian Reserve upon obtaining permission so to do from the Indian Agent for such Reserve and upon complying with such conditions as may be attached to such permission, and may stake out a mining claim or claims on such Reserve.
4 No person not so authorized under the laws of the Province of Ontario shall be given permission to prospect for minerals upon any Indian Reserve.
5 The rules governing the mode of staking and the size and number of mining claims in force from time to time in the Province of Ontario or in the part thereof within which any Indian Reserve lies shall apply to the staking of mining claims on any such Reserve, but the staking of a mining claim upon any Indian Reserve shall confer no rights upon the person by whom such claim is staked except such as may be attached to such staking by the Indian Act or other law relating to the disposition of Indian Lands.
6 Except as provided in the next following paragraph, one-half of the consideration payable, whether by way of purchase money, rent, royalty or otherwise, in respect of any sale, lease or other disposition of a mining claim staked as aforesaid, and, if in any other sale, lease or other disposition hereafter made of Indian Reserve lands in the Province of Ontario, any minerals are included, and the consideration for such sale, lease or other disposition was to the knowledge of the Department of Indian Affairs affected by the existence or supposed existence in the said lands of such minerals, one-half of the consideration payable in respect of any such other sale, lease or other disposition, shall forthwith upon its receipt from time to time, be paid to the Province of Ontario; the other half only shall be dealt with by the Dominion of Canada as provided in the paragraph of this agreement numbered 1.
7 The last preceding paragraph shall not apply to the sale, lease or other disposition of any mining claim or minerals on or in any of the lands set apart as Indian Reserves pursuant to the hereinbefore recited treaty made in 1873, and nothing in this agreement shall be deemed to detract from the rights of the Dominion of Canada touching any lands or minerals granted or conveyed by His Majesty for the use and benefit of Indians by letters patent under the Great Seal of the Province of Upper Canada, of the Province of Canada or of the Province of Ontario, or in any minerals vested for such use and benefit by the operation upon any such letters patent of any statute of the Province of Ontario.
8 No water-power included in any Indian Reserve, which in its natural condition at the average low stage of water has a greater capacity than five hundred horsepower, shall be disposed of by the Dominion of Canada except with the consent of the Government of the Province of Ontario and in accordance with such special agreement, if any, as may be made with regard thereto and to the division of the purchase money, rental or other consideration given therefor.
9 Every sale, lease or other disposition heretofore made under the Great Seal of Canada or otherwise under the direction of the Government of Canada of lands which were at the time of such sale, lease or other disposition included in any Indian Reserve in the Province of Ontario, is hereby confirmed, whether or not such sale, lease or other disposition included the precious metals, but subject to the provisions of the aforesaid statute of the Province of Ontario entitled “The Bed of Navigable Waters Act”, and the consideration received in respect of any such sale lease or other disposition shall be and continue to be dealt with by the Dominion of Canada in accordance with the provisions of the paragraph of this agreement numbered 1, and the consideration received in respect of any sale, lease or other disposition heretofore made under the Great Seal of the Province of Ontario, or under the direction of the Government of the said Province, of any lands which at any time formed part of any Indian Reserve, shall remain under the exclusive control and at the disposition of the Province of Ontario.
10 Nothing herein contained, except the provision for the application of “The Bed of Navigable Waters Act” aforesaid, shall affect the interpretation which would, apart from this agreement, be put upon the words of any letters patent heretofore or hereafter issued under the Great Seal of Canada or the Great Seal of the Province of Ontario, or of any lease or other conveyance, or of any contract heretofore or hereafter made under the direction of the Government of Canada or of the Province of Ontario.

MNN. Oct. 22, 2024. The Europeans invaded our land to build an economy, by killing the indigenous, stealing our motherland and using our trust funds to get the nails to hammer the lid in the box they threw us in. They came with delusions of grandeur to strike it rich, the American dream. Since arriving the invaders have raped and pillaged our mother.
When they saw our beautiful mother, they locked us up until such time as we would be no more. They knew about the true loving affection we have for her and everything below, on and above her.
Genocide tactics were imported to turtle island to manage the mass murders that had worked on their own people to suppress and manage them on their land. The wealthy elite kept their own estates in Europe as they do here on turtle island where they keep their stolen property in good health for their own pleasure, enjoyment and safety. Meanwhile the people they invited to turtle island languish in urban decay. Now mother nature is taking her revenge to bring herself back into balance.
Now they pit the survivors of the genocide against each other. We are trying to move towards the light of awareness to stop this madness. We know the power of the mind. We can give each other permission to be super heroes and take care of the earth. Our place and duties on turtle island are not a mistake. We will all wake up when everyone sees what the kaianerekowa can do, bring people together to save the world. Unfortunately there are those who deny their plundering and may never awaken. This could be the time when the killers are sent back from whence they came. Yes, creation will stop the destruction of our mother.
Colonialism is a nice word for this “invasive species” which is trying to kill the natural balance by amalgamating and controlling the humane qualities of our mother. This species has deliberately disrupted and destroyed the natural balance which is crucial for nature.
When we communicate in our own language we find the balance through which we get our messages from creation. Our means to live as one with nature was taken away and we had to speak a foolish man-made language of the invaders. Now the whole world is being pushed to speak one commercial language, an amalgamation of corporate commercial communication. Speaking all these corporate languages is confusing. We are unable to think creatively. Some of us are having difficulty thinking and connecting with each other to survive and to get our messages from nature, the way we are suppose to.
Once upon a time we indigenous had an international language, sign language. Now we are unable to think and operate the way we are suppose which throws us off balance.
International cargo ship wrecks in Kahnawake Sep. 2024
Then in 1953 the St. Lawrence Seaway dug through our community of Kahnawake. Our earth mother was pummelled and destroyed along with our earth language. We went into shock. Suddenly we could not hear our language. Our parents and ancestors feared the loss of more of our people by the calculated murders by the oppressors. We were told we needed English to survive. They ruined our land and killed our language, which is the basis of our survival. Our ancestors began to speak foreign languages out of fear. Today we would give up everything just to have our language.
This destruction caused rifts and breakage between us. Losing our language was not our fault. Here it was the Seaway gouging our land that also gouged our language from our minds. As they chip away at our land they chip away at us.

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.

MNN. Oct. 4, 2024. The 2022 Gross National Product of the colony of Canada is $2,139,840.000,000 [trillions] for 2022 which all comes from the land of the murdered Indigenous people of turtle island, most of who lie dead in secret graves in turtle island. The invaders brought nothing here from their land. The number of murders is hidden by the usurpers from Europe and their accomplices. One day national leaders will be prosecuted for war crimes by courts. They are all on our shores uninvited by us. They still have plans to extinguish the rest of our rights. Now we can see why it is the army that runs the Department of Indian Affairs and the war for our land is still ongoing as they pillage all of our natural resources to enrich a few. These criminals who believe they are masterminds must answer for the horror they have carried out and plan to continue to inflict on us. They live off the proceeds of one of the bloodiest regimes in human history. Canada, It’s over.
No matter how much apologies they give us, it is meaningless. Their “apology program” is somehow to lessen the responsibility of their crime. Canada is a recent invention. 153 years old, a privately owned corporation by the same 13 families that we noticed were running everything on both sides of the fake border they put up on turtle island after the false flag American Revolution. Each municipality of Canada is a private corporation and the trustees are all bankers. Therefore, they own each of the citizens of each municipality outright according to their legalese system. The paupers of Europe stole our lives, possessions and land. Justice will be carried out and there will be punishment for this nightmare that has shackled us.
The human being has the potential to be good and bad. Many need laws to be half way nice because it is not their nature. But all good and bad still benefitted from the crimes. The wrongs are so calculated, malignant and devastating that the world can no longer ignore it. Only the return of the peace will stop it. We shall have peace on earth and it’s coming soon. The kaianerekowa will punish them for committing the worst horrors ever. They destroyed us with ruthless brutality.
The genocide is ongoing. The immigrants have in common that they came here to turtle island with the hope of getting rich on stolen Indian land. They all had ambitions to take our land and to murder us. Their military were behind them.
Today they have us all locked on these reservations. We are strong. We will survive as creation intended.

Paul Revere & the Raiders reminds us of the recent past raid of our men, women, children and our mother earth: “they took the whole cherokee nation, locked us on this reservation. Took away our way of life . . .”
MNN. Sep. 24, 2024. THE TAKER’S PLANS. These are the plans of the takers from the ashes of the ruins they made here on great turtle island for us and all life. They set up artificial boundaries to separate us from each other and hide our existence to commit their genocide of indigenous people, our mother earth and all life. After the major devastation they started a new society of themselves as equals with each other without us. The foreign church and state made the rules to do away with those they did not want or need, us. We were in the way because they can’t have our land if we are here. They wanted to say, “A long time ago there once were indigenous people here.” So until we were disappeared they became “Canadien”, “squatters”. The canadien colony wanted to form a country, but we inhabited it since time immemorial and will until there is not one of us left. The Canadien are a corporate entity registered in the Vatican of the white people of Europe. They set out to steal the riches of onowarekeh turtle island. They committed the biggest genocide on earth of the indigenous people and all life of the western hemisphere from ocean to ocean, pole to pole. They made rules to set up a white ‘nation’ by “disappearing” us and hiding us and bringing in foreigners to help them make an indigenous-free nation based upon everybody trying to get rich here on turtle island. They never stopped. Now the world will know of this.
THE HORROR
We were kidnapped from our people because we were different and had to be eliminated. We were forced to use non-indigenous names to break our ties to our mother earth and to each other. Our native names are motion verbs which the takers tried to change to non-active noun names that we were ordered to answer to. Speaking these simple limited European languages slowed down our minds and split us from our relationship with mother earth. No matter the horrors, we remained onkwehonweh indigenous. Our people were given numbers and white names so we ended up in the ‘lost and not found’. We started to wonder, “Who am I?” Our names now are mostly non-indigenous which are psychologically diminishing our culture. They demand us to be like the whites who made themelves the masters with their many different non onkwehonweh racial ancestries and feelings and no connection to who we are! Forcing their noun names on us was to re-engineer our minds and our families, for their grand experiment.
We were ordered to be like the intruders. But we just did not fit in. We became lost in a no man’s land with names and a foreign language with no natural meanings or sounds, meanings we were forced to memorize, not understand. The elders and babies were eliminated. We could not even sing or dance as we were told “they are of the long dead past”. This training is meant to make us forget who we are so they could put what they want in us. Within our culture and language our people possess intelligence, integrity and courage to see the truth passed down from our ancestors. Today the forked tongued intruders do not want us to know where we come from. They want us to be receivers of selected lies they made up to make us accept everything they told us. They don’t want us to speak of peace and question the failures of their meaningless thoughts made up by their gurus like McGill and Harvard, etc. to shove into us. They designed and selected our memory for us and even tested us to see if we swallowed their lies. These entities twist everything for us. We have to use our own way of understanding.
We see beyond. The elite lie for personal amusement. They tell us what to remember, think and talk about with each other, which is mostly a mundane shallow waste of time, about what we see on their made up press and media messages. The truth is very heavy. They write everything in books and put it on shelves for their higher ups. They even try to corporately own our newly made languages. So they tried to make us abandon our original memory system. We have ways to receive memory of our ancestors when they come from their mothers at birth. The hospital culture takes away this light from our eyes. The young and old were killed. We do know what death is. If we cannot feel anything then what is the point? Their artificial white languages are brainwashing created by their ‘linguists’ to guide theirs and our thinking, just like calling everybody “guys” to remove the female attributes and minimize the women. Rebels like us who speak the old way are being ignored until we die out. The old voices in our minds can still talk to us. One way to try to destroy us is by giving us bad sickening memories, to take away the nice warm feelings that our mothers give us.
THE HORROR
If they don’t want anyone to see the truth, then they must keep everybody’s eyes closed. They lost the way to love somebody. We know. We cry. We feel sorrow. Today we see children starving and suffering. Killed. Men blown up. So they cannot see the possibility of love or hope. We want to dance. Feel real joy. People at the top are weak, selfish and in pain. They hear no music. The Settler people’s lives are shadows. Their rules are lies. Faint distant echoes are keeping us real. Freedom. The memories now returning to us are the truth. We hold the feather in our hands – if you can’t follow the kaianerekowa great peace, then you must leave.
Robbie Robertson takes us home with this version of the Stomp Dance featuring the Six Nations Women Singers with Rita Coolidge and Joanne Shenandoha: “Together we dance, all the first nations. There is no chance we’re ever going to give up. Beating hearts beat as one. You are in Indian country . . .”
