OUR LANGUAGE IS THE GREAT MYSTERY

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 . . .”

D.C. SCOTT’S FINAL SOLUTION – OCTOBER 25, 2024?

MNN. Sep. 22, 2024. It’s time for us to bloom again like a flower. Our enemies don’t want to be caught for their planned extermination of us. Everyone is noticing.  Their edicts can’t sink us into obscurity to be forgotten. The time will come for us to l judge the genociders and their benefitters. We all cannot  the church, state and benefitters escape justice.

Our memories go back to the beginning of time. We don’t trust their band council “mules” and other loyal cronies who do the bidding of the church and state. Our history is being written and told by the killers. They call themselves gods who run a big military industrial corporate complex to control the world.  Our role is to save ourselves on the land that we love thereby saving the entire world.  They can’t win a war unless their soldiers are following their orders”.  

Their plan to steal all our possessions was by killing all the “savages” whom they declared are not human. Turtle island started out as their ‘trading post’ to keep the produce frim our land all to themselves. They say it is poor form for them to negotiate with us from a position of weakness. So the “100 year business plan” called the Indian Lands Act of Oct. 25, 1924, created the scheme of reservations, Indian residential schools, blood quantum legislation and the missing and murdered Indians. We want the world to know about the atrocities they committed on us to annihilated all our people. We need to be heard and for people to listen. 

Somebody ordered them to brutally butcher us so they could get our land, make their report, file it and forget the killings they carried out? They think they won’t suffer if they nicely say to us, “I’m sorry”. At the same time we are being trained by the church and state to forgive them. We will directly face them anytime even after the horrors we’ve been through.  They cannot get away with mass murder.

The Republic of War came to our land and set out to annihilate us.  They committed the biggest holocaust in the history of the world, the elimination of 150 million indigenous people of the Western Hemisphere, from pole to pole, ocean to ocean. 

Murdered were our mothers, fathers, babies, grandparents, great-grandparents, teachers, families, friends, our beautiful children, our waters, lakes, rivers, our vegetation, our animals, our sky, air and soil. We never heard of anyone stopping the intruder ancestors from chopping up our children and feeding them to the pigs and then cooking the pigs to feed the other children. Were your forefathers watching the trains, wagons, buses and cars going by as the RCMP, band councils, Indian agents, miners, as they took us to the POW camps, hospitals and schools, never to be seen or heard of again by our people? We must find them! 

We cannot have died in vain. When the person in the hospital said to me, “Just sign here . We have a nice home for her”, moments after she was born. I screamed and fought for her. There is no justice for all the people stolen from us. We are still worthless to the church and state and to all those who benefitted from the genocide. Why have the colonists not removed all those genocide laws they dutifully go to the polls and vote for. 

Though the truth is known, these killers will just get in their cars and go home, to their family and have a nice dinner without a thought of what they did to us. They have worn out your welcome here. The only fair and just trial would be under the kaianerekowa, the great peace. 

We are the spokespeople of the dead.  We’ve seen the ovens. Know of the tortures, the hidden bodies and bones. Those millions who help themselves to our resources can be prosecuted. We cry out everywhere and our voices are not heard. The Hitlers cannot sit as the judges of their own crimes.  

As Led Zeppelin says brilliantly “lyin’ cheatin’ hurtin’,   that’s all you seem to do”. [Your time is gonna come].

THE TWILIGHT ZONE

MNN. Sep. 3, 2024. In order to finish something you have to start somewhere. One of the most primal feelings humans have is to belong and feel connected to other humans and to be part of a tribe. Today our freedom is an illusion because  it was systematically destroyed by church and state and replaced by the Military Industrial Complex. When we arrive on our mother we have to deal with entrenched male structures imposed by foreigners. Today we strive to know who we really are before all this chaos was shoved down our throats. Who were we before we became toys for these inhuman beings. 

Our ancestors tried to tell us about the genocide that took place after the arrival of these derelicts running away from their European genociders. We had safety, family, equality. When we learned about how we were almost totally annihilated by these European hordes, we felt like turning the world back to what it was on turtle island. We are looking for a happy continuation of our life. However the intruders told us that we are insane because we don’t fit into their money grabbing murder piracy system. The trauma technocrats of the church and state decide who and what we are and who shall live and who shall die! 

Dancing and singing is how we exchange feelings with each other. This dimension is unknown to the intruders. They planned how to stop us from being happy by producing laws that we cannot or don’t think we should follow to survive, especially paying taxes to them and speaking their fake languages, while taking all our possessions, culture and languages so that we can’t communicate with creation. They told us that their dictates are for our own good! To them we are a brand to be put on display and to charge their tourists to look at us. Us singing, dancing and speaking to each other to bring us together was a no-no.  Our real purpose is to care for mother earth. The Mohawk Mothers and all women and all our people are empowered. The powers that be want to keep us as children and as their playthings to scare and kill us. October 25, 2024 is the one hundred year anniversary of their business plan to “be rid of the Indian problem forever”, Duncan Campbell Scott, 1924. The genociders have been shouting how sorry they are to the rest of the world for their P.R. campaign to continue their operation as a corporation disguised as a country. They tell us how sorry they are for their murder spree of our race, that it is just not going to work out for us to remain on this earth because we are such resisters and we just don’t care enough about money the way they do. So we are accused of not taking care of our children and that we are terrible parents so they can continue taking them from us and sell them or use them for medical experiments and then kill them.  

They say we don’t listen to them, never mentioning the horror they inflicted on us.  We are not leaving turtle island. Creation programmed us to be here. We won’t run out of love for our people. We will do what is necessary to stop this carnage. Like a strip show, we will remove everything they covered us with. The spotlight will be different. We will have children so that our legacy is secure. We know how the church and state still hate us for messing up their plan. Invaders, leave us alone. The death mongers will see our survival show which we will keep playing forever. 

What will you do when you have to return everything you took from us – the land, water, sky, the children, the people? Well, start undressing, start singing and dancing. Put your bodies in motion and get on your ships and go home. We’ll tear off your costumes of suit jackets, white shirts and ties and be beautiful, loving and joyful in our finery to release that love we have for each other as creation intended.  

The Kahnistensera have been working with the professors and students at McGill University. They wanted to teach and learn the truth until “the bullet hits the bone”.  The Golden Earring got it right:  

Somewhere in a lonely hotel room, there’s a guy starting to realizeThat eternal fate has turned its back on him, it’s 2 a.m.
It’s 2 a.m., the fear has gone (It’s 2 a.m., the fear has gone)I’m sitting here waiting, the gun’s still warm (I’m sitting here waiting, the gun’s still warm)Maybe my connection is tired of takin’ chancesYeah, there’s a storm on the loose, sirens in my headWrapped up in silence, all circuits are deadCannot decode, my whole life spins into a frenzy

BIG SHIP STUCK IN KAHNAWAKE

The St. Lawrence is the river of life. The river of life has many falls, twists, turns and steep

walls. We travel down it in our own way. The same has been from the very first day. I’ll stay in my canoe.

You’ll stay in our boat. I only hope you stay afloat.  I’ll smile at you. You’ll wave at me.

You’ll continue on toward the sea.

 MNN. AUG. 22. 2024. A 7.00 pm today this ship enroute to Huelva Spain sailed through the St. Lawrence Seaway which meanders through the middle of Kahnawake Mohawk Land, expected to arrive there  on Sept. 2. [MO 94433669 MMSI 244010871]. It’s a General Cargo ship of the Netherlands. The crash shook the community and sent many indigenous people to the site near the Pow Wow grounds.  The S.S. HEEMSKERKGRACHT, which is Dutch, were our first allies in 1684. They “sold” their colony to the English. They were the first to adhere to the Two Row and kaianerekowa as the law of the land.  So they knew they couldn’t sell our land.                          

                                                                  

It is possible the Mohawks can take possession as the ship is now in the middle of kanienkehaka Mohawk territory. They surely know where they are! On ‘kaniatarowanon,’ the “The Great River  of the Kanienkehaka”, one of the biggest, most beautiful and most impressive rivers in the world. 

Screenshot

Seventy years ago the St. Lawrence Seaway Authority forcefully took the land from the Mohawks. We were never compensated.  

The children use to go stand on the wall behind the catholic church and yell war whoops as the ships sailed by. The crew were so terrified they would run and hide inside their cabins. The captain is powerful when he’s out on the sea but not on our land. He now can only sit on the ship like everyone else. 

A big crowd has emerged, a reminder that Creation put us here to take care of our river. We will be here til the end of time carrying out our duties. When all these settler/boat people are gone, we will still be here on our river where creation placed us. Since this kahonwehia cannot move, this ship is now a part of our land. We shall send to the shipping company bales of tobacco and our thanks, according to our proper protocol. All the goods on that ship are ours. The Seaway is ours and the river is part of kasatsensera kowa sa oiera, the great natural power, and we will take care of her.

As old Hank Williams said, “Sometimes the river doesn’t act like it should….”.

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:

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…,

FROM LAKE ERIE TO KANEKOTA

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.

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

UNKNOWN UNIDENTIFIED

 

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:

TRAFFICKING OF “INDIGENOUS CULTURAL HERITAGE”

MCGILL/MCCCORD & MOHAWK MOTHERS DISCUSSION, JUNE 3. 2024 

TRAFFICKING OF INDIGENOUS CULTURAL HERITAGE “-

Six Nations chiefs explaining wampum belts 1871.

MNN. June 15, 2024. This message was delivered to McGill McCord Museum on behalf of Kahnistensera Mohawk Mothers:

“Wampum belts have been trafficked across international borders not recognized by us. Trafficking of cultural goods is the illicit import, export and transfer of cultural property. In 2011, the US Immigration and Customs Enforcement and Homeland Security announced that the illicit sale of cultural property is the third most profitable black market industries in the world, following weapons and narcotics trafficking! Wampums were stolen from indigenous communities on Turtle Island, often by using coercive strategies or middlemen who profitted from the misery and chaos of colonialism.

Band Councils do not represent us. They are an incorporated entity of Parliament and represent Canada, not the original indigenous peoples.   

One dish one spoon Agreement: Natural resources such as animals, fish and medicinal plant should be shared in a respectful manner amongst  onkwehonweh people. 

Wampum cannot be sold by an individual. They are stewarded by specific families to conserve them for the future generations. Individuals cannot sell Kanien’keha:ka cultural heritage, like a piece of merchandise. They are historical agreements that are recorded for the future generations. For a century, McGill’s McCord Museum has possessed Kanien’keha:ka wampum that were acquired when our people were experiencing great duress on financial, social and physical levels, which Canada has recently acknowledged as genocidal. This history was not communicated to the public at the recent display of wampum. Today we are here to renew our relationship on better terms, based on collaboration, justice and truth-telling. We offer the McCord Museum an opportunity to return Kanien’keha:ka belongings to our communities, where they belong.

McGill and McCord squat on unceded Onkwehonkwe land and retain possession of and control over immensely valuable cultural heritage which forms the backbone of our identity, governance structures and nationhood. We traditional Kanien’keha:ka Longhouse people live in accordance with our precolonial constitution which our ancestors helped us to develop from time immemorial, the Kaianerehkowa. Wampum form the very basis of our cultural identity. Our right to live, possess and control our heritage is the basis of our culture, which is acknowledged by Section 35 of the Constitution Act of Canada 1982, which states: “The existing aboriginal and treaty rights of the aboriginal peoples of Canada are hereby recognized and affirmed”, as well as by the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples Act, which is the Federal repatriation of the UNDRIP protocols outlined by the United Nations.

In the United States, these conversations have led to the creation of the Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act (NAGPRA), which currently requires museums to collaborate on projects with Indigenous peoples to  repatriate all Indigenous heritage to Indigenous communities. The historic, traditional and artistic materials created by a people as an expression of themselves belongs to us, the original people from whom the objects were stolen and separated from the historical settings of these objects.

The UNDRIP Act in Canada states in Article 31 that: “Indigenous peoples have the right to maintain, control, protect and develop their cultural heritage, traditional knowledge and traditional cultural expressions, as well as the manifestations of their sciences, technologies and cultures, including human and genetic resources, seeds, medicines, knowledge of the properties of fauna and flora, oral traditions, literatures, designs, sports and traditional games and visual and performing arts. They also have the right to maintain, control, protect and develop their intellectual property over such cultural heritage, traditional knowledge, and traditional cultural expressions.” Article 25 says: “Indigenous peoples have the right to maintain and strengthen their distinctive spiritual relationship with their traditionally owned or otherwise occupied and used lands, territories, waters and coastal seas and other resources and to uphold their responsibilities to future generations in this regard.”

Regarding Indigenous peoples, all states and publicly-funded corporations such as McGill are expected to recognize and protect the exercise of these rights. Every living being on earth has a spirit, including wampum that were handmade by our ancestors which carried forth our knowledge and instructions for future generations of Onkwehonweh. The spirit placed into the wampum was for the future generations of our people, not for the enjoyment and entertainment of tourists and academics. We feel the spirit of these teachings from our ancestors in our whole being. An object having an historical, traditional or cultural importance central to the indigenous people or culture itself, are not property owned by an individual. They cannot be alienated, appropriated or conveyed by any individual, corporation or organization. Such objects are inalienable by all parties at the time the object was created.

According to the Two Row Tehiohate philosophy, our society knows how to govern ourselves from birth. We had no jails, police, weapons or threats of death to manage our relationships. We are a true free self-determining people, with a “constitution” that is a true world heritage that has influenced what came to be called “democracy” all over the planet. For example, the United States’ decentralized semi-autonomous state system was appropriated from our traditional governance structures by Benjamin Franklin and the League of Nations. Wampum is the promise of the Kanien’keha:ka to pass our knowledge and traditions to future generations and to carry out the agreements made between the parties involved. As colonialist Cadwallader Colden described, “Wampum is a system of memory and recall far more advanced than anything they have seen in Europe.” The wampum was taken out regularly from the basket in the general council and the words were repeated to remind the people of the promise. The white people were invited to the wampum recitals, though their memory was faulty and many promises were broken.

Teiohateh Two Row, is the universal relationship of non-domination, balance and harmony between different people.

Wampum belts are promises of peace. To us it is not right to display our cultural heritage in museums as dead objects that no longer matter. We will not accept being put on display any longer. Wampum are living heritage that we are still using as the basis of our agreements, traditions, protocols and relationships. The fact that the McCord Museum of McGill University hold these items and put them on display remind us of how these agreements were violated by Europeans and transformed into entertainment items, stripped of their social, spiritual and political meaning. The essence of our agreements is in our minds. Wampum only work if we entertain a living relationship with them. Our honesty brings back our words and thoughts from these discussions. Our message based on the kaianerekowa, the great peace, has never been diminished. We must regularly review the original meanings.

We indigenous people belong to the land. The women made the belts because they have the duty of peace. The McCord exhibit misinterpreted certain meanings, for example stating that the straight line in the middle of the wampum represents the rule to govern. This improper representation must be corrected by our Elders and Knowledge Keepers. A gross misrepresentation in the exhibit suggested that we used wampum as money. It is Europeans who turned our wampum into a form of money, an idea that did not exist in our way.

The museum overlooked the original cultural meanings of the wampum. We offer to work together to correct this so that such violations, abuses, and misunderstandings can be made right. We will begin by discussing proper arrangements for the return to our communities of our heritage. We pledge to inform everyone of the true power, spirit and meanings of the wampum which is the basis of our relationship with all peoples and all life. We wish to remove the misleading narratives devised by European scholars and other foreigners by putting our wampum back in our hands. The way that these wampums were lost to our communities is very dark and troubling.

For many invading colonists all over the world our wampum were valuable objects of fashion that they stole and used as symbols of status. Some were taken right off the dead bodies of murdered Indigenous people throughout turtle island and then sold. Some wanted souvenirs to hang on their wall to remind them of having murdered us. Colonial institutions, especially museums, and their funders, such as the Bank of Canada, are pervaded by the continuation of a deep historical legacy of racism and genocide which must now stop. The general lack of information stems from the horrific conditions under which wampum were taken away from us. McCord did not provide meaningful and truthful explanations of the wampum and of how they ended up in McCord’s storage rooms. Somewhere the trail of information leading to their origins has been suppressed. We come to state without any ambiguity that it is time to return all our heritage to us for us to determine how our past, present and future will be used and interpreted. 

Wiskniontsakeh signifies the alliance of five different peoples

who pledge to live by the great peace.  

We hereby propose the following agreement: McCord Museum shall:

1. Relinquish all claims of ownership to Indigenous cultural heritage. 

2. Negotiate the transfer of Kanien’keha:ka cultural heritage to the Kahnistensera Mohawk Mothers, who will coordinate their rematriation to Indigenous communities. McCord may hold the material on our behalf until arrangements are made to move them.

3. Understand that Kanien’keha:ka cultural heritage, including but not limited to wampum, is on temporary loan to the McCord Museum from the Kanien’keha:ka, contingent on proper care of the material culture and in good faith to facilitate the rematriation of Kanien’keha:ka belongings held by the McCord Museum.

4. Provide the Kahnistensera and Indigenous communities with a complete inventory of wampum, including all related documents and data that McCord may possess or have access to.

5. Fund Indigenous-led research into the meaning and historical movements and displacements of each wampum, to share correct information with the public. This includes funding a Kahnistensera-led program with Kanien’keha:ka elders, knowledge keepers and youth to correct the record.

6. Fund the safe and secure storage of Kanien’keha:ka cultural heritage until Indigenous communities are able to properly take on the care of these belongings.

[a] The Kanien’keha:ka belongings contained within the inventory will be completely under the ownership and control of Kanien’keha:ka traditional people. [b]  During McCord’s temporary stewardship pending rematriation, McCord shall grant any Indigenous community or persons’ requests to access and use Indigenous cultural heritage, including wampum belts, for their own purposes.

7. Assist with curation expertise and resources, including securing sufficient funding, to ensure, in a timely manner, safe storage of the cultural artifacts in facilities controlled by traditional Indigenous governance systems. McCord shall provide free access to said belongings to all Onkwehonweh of any Indigenous communities to learn, physically handle, and use them for social, educational and ceremonial purposes.

8. Assist in the funding of the Kahnistensera Mohawk Mothers in order to arrange with Kanien’keha:ka communities for the creation, maintenance, and curatorial protocol to build the proper facilities for the transfer of the belts and articles to traditional Indigenous communities.

8. All historical agreements with other parties that allowed our wampum to be taken away and placed in colonial institutions shall be superseded by this agreement, because the original community ownership was never, and could never be, relinquished.

Robbie Robertson sings about the “Ghost Dance” to remind everybody “we shall live again, we shall live again” because of our love for our mother earth and all life.

Crow’s brought the message
To the children of the sun
For the return of the buffalo
And for a better day to come

You can kill my body
You can damn my soul
For not believing in your God
And some world down below

You don’t stand a chance against my prayers
You don’t stand a chance against my love
They outlawed the Ghost Dance
They outlawed the Ghost Dance
But we shall live again, we shall live again

My sister above
But she has red paint
She died at Wounded Knee
Like a Latter-day Saint

You got the big drum in the distance
The blackbird’s in the sky
That’s a sound that you hear
When the buffalo cry

You don’t stand a chance against my prayers
You don’t stand a chance against my love
They outlawed the Ghost Dance
They outlawed the Ghost Dance
But we shall live again, we shall live again
We shall live again

Crazy Horse was a mystic (yeah)
He knew the secret of the trance
And Sitting Bull, the great apostle
Of the Ghost Dance

Come on Comanche
Come on Blackfoot
Come on Shoshone
Come on Cheyenne

We shall live again (we shall live again)
We shall live again (we shall live again)

Come on Arapaho
Come on Cherokee
Come on Paiute
Come on Sioux

We shall live again (we shall live again)

You used to do the Ghost Dance
Used to do the Ghost Dance
But we don’t sing them kinda songs no more
