    APPEAL COURT BLUES

    MNN. AUG. 19, 2024. The Court of Appeal’s Decision Late Friday ruled in favour of McGill University and the SQI [Quebec] on whether the Independent Panel of archaeological experts overseeing the investigation should be called on after human decomposition was detected on-site. McGill and the SQI contracted people to survey the site with GPR, ground penetrating radar, multiple teams of historic human remains detection dogs, and a probe that can detect human decomposition in soil. Up to now, these methods have confirmed the likely presence of human remains in three different areas of the old Royal Victoria Hospital.

    We can’t disclose these locations at this stage, but we’re worried that without the oversight of the Panel, which was our clear intention in the Settlement Agreement, these burials might get damaged and destroyed by construction work. That’s what happened with the first target identified by the dogs: the soil was moved around, left outside exposed to the elements, and then sifted by an industrial machine used for mining. Only after using that big mechanical sifter, the archeologists told us that it made the bone fragments too small to identify.

    The two other places where the dogs and the probe found evidence of human remains haven’t been investigated yet so we’re extremely concerned about that. McGill and the SQI’s decision to not address any of these findings publicly, and to ignore these results so as to continue their development project, is extremely disappointing. Some of the site has been surveyed with the mandated search techniques, but they only search the areas they’re just about to build on, so a lot of the area still hasn’t been investigated.

    It was clear from the start that the Settlement Agreement would entrust an Expert Panel with overseeing the investigation. A few weeks after we all signed it, McGill and the SQI signed contracts with the Panel members without telling us, while letting the Panel members think we were involved in writing them. The contracts had an end date that was not in the agreement, and breached the agreement, which stipulates that the Panel was jointly appointed by us and the developers.

    After numerous breaches to the Panel’s recommendations, we submitted these violations of the agreement to the Superior Court, and Justice Gregory Moore agreed with our understanding and said McGill and the SQI’s interpretation of the contract was too narrow. Now the Appeal Court overturned this because of technical problems. But the Appeal Court did not say we were wrong in what we saw or that McGill and the SQI did respect the Agreement. It simply refers to corporate case law related to the court’s jurisdiction in overseeing contracts, and does not address the larger and substantial issues regarding the breaches to the agreement, the failure to implement it in a spirit of reconciliation and the honor of the crown.

    The Court of Appeal’s decision to overturn the safeguard order put in place in October 2023 is worrying given the recent findings. A huge obstacle in our fight to protect unmarked burials and find missing children is that our “law” doesn’t work with theirs. The decision they made relies on legal technicalities and precedents set in corporate contractual cases. It doesn’t account for the sensitivity and urgency of the matter here, which is the search for and protection of our children. This is just another example of how the legal system discriminates against us by imposing colonial law on us. It’s the same laws that resulted in our genocide, which goes on still, even after it was acknowledged by the Prime Minister.

    Basing this case on corporate law is incredibly inappropriate, because our dispute involves our duty as Indigenous women, Kahnistensera, to protect and find our dead loved ones. The agreement was not a contract between businesses, but a wager for a new relationship between Indigenous people and Canadians. The legal system does not seem ready to appropriately address cases like ours that are about reconciliation and our rights as Onkwehonwe Indigenous people.

    We are also hurt and emotionally triggered by the way our search for our children is being ignored for the convenience and financial benefit of these large corporations and the government. If state corporations and the courts set precedents that reinforce the notion that our concerns matter less, it could have catastrophic consequences for Indigenous peoples and their rights worldwide.

    The crimes committed against us cannot be investigated by the same institutions that committed them in the past. That’s why we need independent bodies of experts to guide these investigations. We will not stop pushing for our sacred duties to be respected. This is far from the end of the story.

    Pigment Markham reminds us in “Here Come the Judge” of what goes on in court:
    Hear ye, hear ye
    This court is now in sessionHis Honor, Judge Pigmeat Markham presidinHear ye, hear ye, the court of swing
    It’s just about ready to do that thingI don’t want no tears, I don’t want no liesAbove all, I don’t want no alibisThis Judge is hip, and that ain’t all

    RECIND INDIAN LANDS ACTS 1924

    MNN. Aug. 15, 2024. Time to review the Indian Lands Acts of October 25, 1924, the “!00 year business plan to divest turtle island of the indigenous people and all our indigenous land title and resources; execution through the Indian Advancement Act, blood quantum, reservations and POW camps, residential schools, 60’s scoop. . .  Now October 25, 2024 is the 100 year anniversary of Duncan Campbell Scott’s marvelous “business plan”suggesting there would be no more indian problem and we would be happy members of the body politic. We Mohawks have a suggestion that his body be disinterred and sent back to Scotland where he belongs. Mr Scott would not be pleased to see that we are stiil here and growing stonger every day. Canada already has us on reserves, POW camps, called reserves and with band councils pretending they are Canadians. All immigrants coming to turtle island claiming to be “canadiens” ,40,000,000 of them. Canada is a corporaration, not a country.  The rise of the 4th Reicht is alive and well as was displayed in full public view when all members of the House saluted one of the top 700 Nazi war criminals who were imported into Canada through “Operation Paperclip”. and placed within the bureuacracy . All sides of the House of Commons gave him a standing ovation.  A German recently learned that Canada annihilated more indigenous people than Germans had in the holacaust. 

    Thahoketoteh sings about Canada’s robust genocide plan: “missionize, Christianize, socialize, minimize, legislate, assimilate, economize, genocide…,

    ELORA “MOHAWK WANNABEES!!!


    MNN. Aug. 8, 2024. On August 2nd, 3rd. and 4th, 2024, The Kahnawake Hunters faced the Elora Ontario Mohawks, a non-native team of the Ontario Junior B Lacrosse League at the championship finals. The non-native parents and fans showed the spectators  their method for beating their opponents, the real kanienkehaka/Mohawks at that game.  The appeared t be using a formula of acting out some of their culture with rude behaviour. Lacrosse is a traditional game of the natives who follow strict sportsmanlike behaviour.  This kind of behaviour would not be acceptable at their ultimate sport event, the Olympics, which is presently taking place right now in Paris?

    At  some recent games some of the settler mothers waited outside of the arena and yelled at and spit on the faces of our children. Definitely not acceptable.

    One spectator from Kahnawake stated in a facebook post, “I came to Elora to watch the Kahnawake Hunters and I was genuinely shocked by how the crowd was behaving. I started recording their chants ’cause i also thought it was funny that these white kids lacrosse team was called “Mohawks”. They sure weren’t acting like their namesake, the Mohawks. I got yelled at by one kid, “Turn your fucking phone off!” Personally, I think they were just embarrassed by their terrible actions.” If they call themselves Mohawks they should play the game like true Mohawks, the kanienkehaka, as it is a community game of respect and healing, to bring everyone together with the good message that here on this planet we are all brothers and sisters with the same mother and the same father. TAKE A LOOK AT SOME OF THEIR ACTIONS at a game we call “the game of creation“.

    Move It on Over Lyrics

    [Verse 1]
    Came in last night at a half past ten
    That baby of mine wouldn’t let me in

    So move it on over (move it on over)
    Move it on over (move it on over)
    Move over, little dog
    ‘Cause the big dog’s movin in
    [Verse 2]
    She’s changed the lock on our front door
    My door key don’t fit no more

    So get it on over (move it on over)
    Scoot it on over (move it on over)
    Move over, skinny dog
    ‘Cause the fat dog’s moving in
    [Verse 3]
    This doghouse here is mighty small
    But it’s better than no house at all

    So ease it on over (move it on over)
    Drag it on over (move it on over)
    Move over, old dog
    ‘Cause a new dog’s moving in
    [Verse 4]
    She told me not to play around
    But I done let the deal go down

    So pack it on over (move it on over)
    Tote it on over (move it on over)
    Move over, nice dog
    ‘Cause a mad dog’s moving in

    LONGHOUSE LADIES

    History of residential school cemeteries is evidence of genocide, interlocutor  Kimberly Murray of Kanehsatake issues historical report, as an ‘antidote to denialism,’ as she works toward her final report.

    https://www.cbc.ca/news/indigenous/interlocutor-kimberly-murray-historical-report-1.7253567

    Antidote to denialism: “Each residential school burial is a burial site against humanity and is genocide. These mass human rights violations can be prosecuted. Government and church officials made decisions and created all of these that lead to deliberate desecration of the burial sites of indigenous children. Government and church made these policies that lead to deliberate desecration of the burial sites of indigenous children.  At times these officials even actively participated in the desecration through both their actions and failure to act. Government and church created the crisis of missing and disappeared children and unmarked burials that survivors face today. This is meant to be an evidentiary piece of the genocide and crimes against humanity that supplements, complements and supports what the survivors have been saying for decade.

    MNN. July 1, 2024. FOR CANADA’S BIRTHDAY the Skillet sing about resistence.“I am a nation, I am a million faces. Formed together, made for elevation. I am a soldier, I won’t surrender. Faith is like fire that never burns to embers. Who’s gonna stand up? Who’s gonna fight? The voices of the unheard. Who’s gonna break those chains and lies? Love is the answer. I gotta speak. believe it, that’s how I feel inside, can’t sit here quiet.”

    Skillet - "The Resistance" [Official Lyric Video]

    The northern part of the Haldimand Tract on the Grande River known as Kanekota is thenorthern part of kanienehaka Mohawk land set aside in 1794 protected by the British military for the Mohawk and their posterity forever. At the source, kanekota, is. the highest point where the water from the earth flows north, south, east and west. 

    Phil Montour of Six Nations explains the trail the colonists took to steal the trust funds of the rotinishonni people and never paid it back.

    TRUTH ABOUT TREATY – RARIHOKWATS

     

    The state took and murdered us and our children to steal our land. They set up a system of wrongdoing that is entrenched in the Canadian legal system, which must be sustained by force, repression, lies. and death. The old life is over.  The system against us is no more.  Our way can battle our adversary. The state is our merciless enemy. Peacetime rules cannot be applied until we have peace. So far we have yet to experience peace since the white man invaded onowaregeh turtle island. They were never invited to turtle island. Every judge, lawyer, cop and politician swear an oath of personal allegiance to the British Crown. In a colony where crime is officially sanctioned, there is no regret, no justice. Indigenous people cannot stand before the enemy and expect justice. Rarihokwats left a legacy of truth and justice for the indigenous people.  

    Helen Hunt Jackson stated in “CENTURY OF DISHONOR”, “No atrocities were ever performed that weren’t done to the Indians first”. 

     

    The late great singer,  Peggy Lee, sang with Benny Goodman, this wonderful song which brings to mind how no one was suppose to remember us and the genocide but creation. The genocide plan was to forget that we know each other, laughed together before and loved before. The memory was planted in our mind by creation to seek and find those thoughts:

    MCGILL CANA’JON

    MNN. June 30, 2024. McGill is in the trenches with the robots! The state did not want indigenous around so they experimented on them to create the genocide plan sanctioned by Colonial law. The politicians and scientists who set up the “sleep room” at the Allan Memorial Institute during the 1940s to 1970’s “took orders” from those who own McGill and are trying to destroy creation. People now listen seriously to the debate of two top US robots who are vying to ‘run’ the world. Militaries are now creating robotic armies to fight each other. Allegedly a California designed robotic office worker committed suicide by throwing itself down a flight of stairs landing in pieces. McGill actually has “war labs” creating these weapons for their clients to murder people. The enlistment rate has declined drastically. The police use robots to attack people in their homes. Robots are not paid and so far have no drug or sex problems.  A robot is programmed to not deal with back stabbing, fork tongued murderers. A robot feels no pity, remorse, or fear. They don’t stop until their target is dead, or their battery dies. As Lakota activist Russell Means said to Congress, “Welcome to the reservation. You are now the new Indians!” 

    Here’s “O Canajon” sung by a Mohawk Mother to remind or enlighten the colonists of their genocidic “100 year business plan” that comes due on October 25, 2024 called the Framework Agreement based on the “Indian Lands Acts”, whereby this title acknowledges that the land is totally owned by the indigenous. 

    O Canajon

    We will heal.

    Now watch the “Sleep Room” on the tactics developed at the McGill Allan Memorial Institute under the direction of Dr. Ewen Cameron” to turn people into robots.

    DARPA: DARK SIDE OF MCGILL

    MNN. June 29, 2024. In the 1800’s McGill military academy was crashing and desperately needed money. They fraudulently borrowed from the “Iroquois Trust Funds” which were never repaid to the Mohawks. Now McGill has offered to return these stolen funds by paying for any Mohawk who attends their university, though Indian Affairs already pays tuition and expenses for all Indigenous who go there. This looks like part of the continuation of the state terror program through their education system.

    Canada considers the indigenous as state property entrenched in their colonial system which is sustained by repression, lies, constant fear and death. The band council system known as “government mules” on each POW encampment called ‘reserves’, carry out the genocidal orders of the state. Our children are being  herded into one of the foremost corporate brainwashing institutions in the world, McGill, where the merciless enemies of the indigenous are trained to not apply peacetime rules. We are not grateful to be offered our own money by an education system based upon genocide and European values, similar to the deathly residential schools that have been acknowledged as “cultural genocide” by Prime Minister Justin Trudeau. Genocide is genocide!

    We are waiting for every indigenous place name to be publicly reinstated throughout onowaregeh turtle island. The European names reflect genocide. 

    “THE DARK SIDE OF DARPA”.

     

    People throughout the world see that the levee is about to break and the people of McGill might not be prepared for it. As the song says, when the levee breaks, honey, you gotta move:

    If it keeps on rainin’, levee’s goin’ to breakIf it keeps on rainin’, levee’s goin’ to breakWhen the levee breaks I’ll have no place to stayMean old levee taught me to weep and moanLord mean old levee taught me to weep and moanIt’s got what it takes to make a mountain man leave his homeOh well, oh well, oh well
    Don’t it make you feel badWhen you’re tryin’ to find your way homeYou don’t know which way to go?If you’re goin’ down SouthThey got no work to doIf you don’t move to Chicago
    Cryin’ won’t help you prayin’ won’t do you no goodNow cryin’ won’t help you prayin’ won’t do you no goodWhen the levee breaks mama you got to moveAll last night sat on the levee and moanedAll last night sat on the levee and moanedThinkin’ ’bout me baby and my happy homeGoing to ChicagoGoing to Chicago
    Sorry but I can’t take youGoing down, going down now, going downGoing down now, going downGoing down, going down, going down
    Going down now, going downGoing down now, going downGoing down now, going downGoing d-d-d-d-downWoo, woo

    EMANCIPATION IS HERE ON THIS ISLAND

    MNN. June 28, 2024. Everyone in the world knows that we onkwehonwe are turtle island. The colonists took up residence, and stole the land, forests, waters, resources from the natural people placed here by kasastensera kowa saoiera, creation.  What they are doing to us is not fair, just or reasonable. They know we can never give up our mother earth. The kanienkehaka of akwesasne are carrying out their duties according to the kaianerekowa, the great peace.

    Land Back at Barnhart

    Contextualizing the Re-occupation of Barnhart Island in Shared Legacies of Struggle

    On May 21, 2024, a group of eight Kanien’kehá:ka (Mohawk) community members from Akwesasne were arrested at Niionenhiasekowa:ne (Barnhart Island). Certain individuals among the “Akwesasne 8” had originally gone to Barnhart to exercise their right to build a hunting and gathering shelter on their own territory, in part to protest an ongoing land claim settlement that threatens to hand over Kanien’kehá:ka title to this island, among other traditionally held territories, to New York State. The settlement is being negotiated between New York entities and three Akwesasne government councils.1 Presently, the settlement negotiations would require the extinguishment of Mohawk title to Barnhart Island, which would be effectuated through an act of Congress.2 By asserting their right to the land, the Akwesasne 8 have sent a clear message to both negotiating parties. Barnhart Island, like all other territories illegally stolen and swindled from their community, is not for sale—particularly not by collaborationist band and tribal council entities that purport to represent the full community but that were in fact historically imposed upon it at gunpoint.

    “[This] is not a story of triumphs of engineering over nature, nor is it a story of masterpiece on international diplomacy, nor even a story about change. It is rather a story about the intimate relationship that the Mohawks of Akwesasne had with the environment in which they lived from time immemorial and how change was forced upon them, through really no choice of their own. It is the story of how the forces of outside government and corporate America seemingly conspired to break the identity of the Mohawk in a manner that no residential school had ever successfully accomplished—by changing the environment in which Mohawk survived . . .” (Elders Study, 1995)

    Our minds and hearts are chained to that island for thousands of years. There is nothing that can break that chain, as Joe Cocker sings to our intruders: 

    Unchain my heart
    Baby let, let me be
    ‘Cause you don’t care
    well, please
    Set me freeUnchain my heart
    Baby let me go
    Unchain my heart
    ‘Cause you don’t love me no moreEvery time I call you on the phone
    Some fella tells me that you’re not at home
    Unchain my heart
    Set me freeUnchain my heart
    Baby let me be
    Unchain my heart
    ‘Cause you don’t care about meYou’ve got me sewed up like a pillow case
    But you let my love go to waste
    Unchain my heart
    Set me freeI’m under your spell
    Like a man in a trance baby
    Oh but you know darn well
    That I don’t stand a chanceUnchain my heart
    Let me go my way
    Unchain my heart
    You worry me night and day

    Why lead me through a life of misery
    When you don’t care a bag of beans for me
    Unchain my heart oh please
    Set me free
    Alright

    I’m under your spell
    Just like a man in a trance, baby
    But you know darn well
    That I don’t stand a chance

    Please unchain my heart
    Let me go my way
    Unchain my heart
    You worry me night and day

    Why lead me through a life of misery
    When you don’t care a bag of beans for me
    Unchain my heart
    Please set me free

    Oh set me free
    Oh woman why don’t you do that for me
    You don’t care
    Won’t you let me go
    If you don’t love me no more
    Like a man in a trance
    Let me go
    I’m under your spell
    Like a man in a trance
    Oh but you know darn well
    That I don’t stand a chance no
    Oh
    You don’t care
    Please set me free

    THE PIG STY CEMETARY
    MNN. June 26/24. The aim of real archeology is to try to understand the future. To find what happened in the past to help us interpret the present. To find what we have forgotten. Something makes us want to see what is going on around us and what happened to us. Our ancient language is about hidden knowledge, such as, for example, what happened to the Duplessis orphans when the colonial settlers decided to develop a super liquor warehouse on top of a graveyard of children who died at the nearby hospital. It was called the ‘pig sty cemetary’. A lot of the secrets about this sordid event are now coming out into the open. The orphans saw things and were told it was in their imagination. They want to remember who they are. The more they seek and find the truth, the less angry they will be for the disappearances they witnessed of their friends.  SEE THE APTN COVERAGE: 
    It seems like Ricky Scaggs may have visited the Montreal East site near the Port of Montreal where they moved out their filth from the pig pen:
    I got a pig, home in a penCorn to feed him onAll I need is a pretty little girlTo feed him when I’m gone
