AKWESASNE MOHAWKS OPPOSE US SENATE BILL 3475 TO CLAIM NYS

Posted on by

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

AKWESASNE ORIGINAL LAND TO BE RETURNED

TO MOHAWK KANIENKEHAKA ANCESTERAL LAND

IN NORTHERN NEW YORK STATE

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

WARRIOR SOCIETY: REBELLION AGAINST THE GREAT LAW

Posted on by

Karonhiaktajeh (Louis Hall) was Kanien’kehá:ka (Mohawk) from Kahnawake, unceded sovereign Mohawk Territory. Karonhiaktajeh foresaw our struggles as Native People and prepared us for the coming revolution/evolution. Karonhiaktajeh is one of our great visionaries, and I, Kahentinetha, have a duty to share with the world one of his final messages before he died in 1993.

https://www.cbc.ca/books/the-mohawk-warrior-society-by-louis-karoniaktajeh-hall-1.6564451
The Mohawk Warrior Society by Louis Hall, as seen in CBC Books

There is a revolution, not just brewing, but in effect in the Iroquois Confederacy. The rebels are not the bearded, uncouth and unkempt characters skulking in the dark alleys of a city. These are Iroquois Chiefs and some followers who are revolting against the Great Law, Gayanerekowa, many parts of which were copied in the United States Constitution which in turn were copied by other constitutions in the world. The Great Law is the Iroquois Constitution which the rebels have put aside and have installed the Handsome Lake Code in its place. The Handsome Lake Code is a copy of the Quaker Code which is not an Indian device.

The action by the rebels is in violation of the Two Row Wampum Treaty where in the two parties, the Indians and the white men, agreed to keep their laws, religion and customs in their own respective vessels. The rebels reached into the white man’s ship and took out the white man’s religion, laws, customs and adopted them as their own.

The rebels now refuse to read the Iroquois Constitution which makes them ignorant of their own laws and they even refuse to speak the name of Deganawida and his works by burying his name. There has to be a hand of the white man or men in this attack on the Iroquois Confederacy. Divide the Confederacy into many parts so they’ll be destroyed.

The Quakers so greatly admired by the rebels have a record of resisting governments, which attracted the unwary segment of the Iroquois population in the first place. The Quakers will not do military service. The Quakers will not even defend their lives if attacked. They shall not fire a gun in self-defence. The Handsome Lake Code has adopted the Quaker death wish religion. They have erased their instinct of self preservation which has been called “god given” and necessary to keep the people in existence.

There will of course be a general rejoicing among the white population if the red race becomes extinct for then the invasion of America, the slaughter of millions of Indians and the stealing of two whole continents will be “justified” since the Indians were going to disappear “anyway”. The biggest crime in the history of the world will then be justified.

Dissolving the Iroquois Constitution (Great Law) will result in the termination of the Iroquois Confederacy. The nation needs a constitution to exist. The rebels prefer to be under the Handsome Lake Code which is not a constitution. Whether they realize it or not the rebels are working to end the Iroquois Confederacy. Ignorance of the law is no excuse.

There have been rebels in the past. Louis Riel was hanged in 1838. Two of the 75 rebels captured in the attack on Kahnawake during the 1837-38 rebellion were hanged in Montreal. There were many others executed during rebellions in the past. This shows the seriousness in which a rebellion is regarded. In this instance, the rebellion is an attack on the very existence of the Iroquois Confederacy.

We do now exhort and entreat the Six Nations rebels to return to the Great Law, Gayanerekowa, the Iroquois Constitution. It is unthinkable for a nation not to have a Constitution. It stops being a nation. The 2nd paragraph of wampum 58 of the Iroquois Constitution reads:

A further meaning of this is that if anytime any one of the Chiefs of the League choose to submit to the law of a foreign people, he is no longer in but out of the League and persons of this class shall be called “They have alienated themselves” (Tehonatonkoton)—likewise, such persons who submit to laws of foreign nations shall forfeit all birthrights and claims on the League of Five Nations and territory.

The rebels did exactly this when they submitted to the Quaker Code via the Handsome Lake Code. The dictionary defines “code” as a “body of laws of a nation”. Since the Handsome Lake Code is a copy of the Quaker Code, it takes no great brain to see that the rebels have switched allegiance and that they are now Quakers. They have alienated themselves from the Iroquois Confederacy and do “hereby forfeit all birthrights and claims on the League of Five Nations and territory”.

This law was made when the Confederacy was still Five Nations. Some of the rebels cannot read nor write and no doubt have been led astray. Handsome Lake Himself could not read nor write and had to sign with an (X) mark. His nephew Henry O’Beal son of Cornplanter, was a quarter Seneca but 100% Quaker wrote the Handsome Lake Code copying from the Quaker Code.

It is not too late nor is it too hard to hold the Pledge Wampum in hand and make the Pledge to return to the Great Law, to defend and protect the People and the land. The rebels are hereby being earnestly urged to return to the Great Law and be once more an Iroquois people. One cannot be an Iroquois if he does not follow and obey the Iroquois Constitution. It is the Iroquois Constitution that makes a man or a woman an Iroquois.

– Defenders of the Great Law.

Happy Father’s Day to all the wonderful men and fathers!

KNOCK, KNOCK, CANADA!

Posted on by

MNN. Sept. 6, 2025. Intruding into our homeland is an “act of war”. Using our power and authority against these land thieves to protect our land and people is a revolutionary act! The Atikamekw are one of the Indigenous people in Canada whose historic territory  is the  great white north. We are family! 

mx

Malcolm X, an African American revolutionary during the civil rights movement in the 1960s, said: “When you are fighting for your land, it is a revolution. All wars from day one have been over land. The court will take your land violently”, which is what the capitalist bloodsuckers did on turtle island. In Kanehsatake in 1990 our people stood up and said “No”!  All our land has been taken violently and physically. The only thing they fear are the ‘warriors’ of Kanehsatake, Ohsweken, Tyendinaga, Akwesasne, Kahnawake, Ganiengeh and all our brother and sisters on turtle island. He said, “We have to eradicate white thinking”.  

Canada calls taking over our land without telling us is “developing” the north, to destroy us and the environment. Their way is to control everything. The indigenous of onowarekeh turtle island are going to be scattered fragments with no self-government. New prime minister of Canada Mark Carney wants to “redraw the map” that will show us as having “disappeared.” He will send in the military where unarmed non-violent original people live on native land the size of France. No ambiguity. No doubt the colonists are taking military control of the indigenous land of onowarekeh, dismantling us as they have always done, forcing us into a non-native system of control by the corporate mafia called government. Carney’s Bill C5 takes full control of this trajectory and trickery. Deaths, assaults and threats continue, such as the murder of Joyce Echaquan in Joliet hospital by two nurses. She sent it out on Facebook while she was dying. Humanitarian catastrophes are in full swing.

The loggers, hunters, gangsters, government and corporate agents are circling us. Troops are making their presence known to carry out their orders to mishandle the natives and use force to take us over. They refuse to talk to the traditional people who give them nothing but the truth.  The intruding foreign government gives the orders to get the Indians out of their way for development as dictated by the trillionaires on Wall Street. Destabilization and disintegrating indigenous life is the main way to deal with us such as removing the health care system, and interfering with our food source to cause famine. International aid and monitoring groups are not allowed in. The original people live off the land so  Interference with the animals and their habitats will lead to starvation.  

The military will try to take control of the north, and Indigenous original sovereignty will be disregarded. Within a year construction of housing for the flood of non-native workers, their families and development of corporate projects will destroy the land. They will remove the indigenous presence except for those who join them and sever their connection to the land. Their communities and communication are being broken up. A network of isolated enclaves will be created with no links to the outside world. They will be so far removed no one will remember they existed. This control system will be called “management control for their own good”!

The useless UN will do nothing. The late Mad Bear said, “The UN should be picked up and dropped in the middle of the ocean!”  Carney has a vision of a “greater Canadian state” without our presence.  His father Robert Carney ran one of the worst indigenous termination Indian Residential Schools in Fort Smith Northwest Territories where the prime minister himself went to school to see the government genocide plan being carried out. Sr. Carney was in the top level of planning Canada’s genocide plan to eliminate us. All prime ministers are guilty of genocide. He is just the latest of their “crime minister” 

The government says the disagreement with the Indians and Inuit is just over bad roads, zoning and demography, which they say is only “temporary”. The non-natives will not suffer these bad conditions.    

To them the indigenous cannot remain as the true land and resource owners as they will have a right to speak up, which is the last thing Carney and his crew want. Intruding gangs are being sent in and will start conflicts with them. Diplomats will be sent up there to lie to the people. Services to them will come and go, mostly non-existent. The indigenous will resist being removed. They won’t conform. Removing services is one way. Dismantling support is another. Canada is showing them how fearful a full military entry looks! Some of our people will go along with this. Ideology plays an important role. A complete sudden takeover would cause deaths. Canada is willing to pay a high price to shut us up, which has been discussed with their military, industrial complex.  

Canada does not want any bad talk about this anywhere. Actions are being taken with no political statements to the people. The assault of the North is on. Ideological rhetoric is intensifying.  A sense of inevitability is coming over like a big heavy dark cloud. It is a long term secret project to reconfigure the geography so there is no alternative for us. It’s continued mass murder of our land and people. Canada wants to control this narrative. The minions sit on all the boards to take over the indigenous people and the land.  

They are parasites who are living inside host indigenous nations. There will be arguments between our people and the squatters on our land. Their redrawn maps are fake. The false claimers will keep on lying. They follow the money. Those who help them are bigots. Canada’s band councils help our enemies to build walls around us. They are doing the inside job as always. 

Like Fats Domino we have heard all of Canada’s pretend knocks of friendship on our door! Like fats said, “We hear you knocking but you can’t come in”.

LEONARD PELTIER HOMECOMING

MNN. FEB. 20, 2025. Thank you, Brenda Norrell of Censored News, for your longtime coverage of one of the most important stories that has faced indigenous people since the arrival of the invaders to turtle island. Leonard Peltier seems to infer that it is not over!

Redbone song “We were all wounded at wounded knee” became a hit in Europe but was not released in the US:

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

Posted on by

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].

Ganienkeh Statement 2024-04-05

The song, “The Tree”, is our absolute agreement with the statement of Ganienkeh on Turtle Island which Thahoketoteh sings: “Now we stand as brothers, let us plant this tree, follow its roots. It’ll go from sea to sea. Watch it grow to the sky and bask in its shade. It represents the unity we now have made. We bury our weapons for all time underneath. And a great order we now bequeath. If any should follow the roots to their source, they may sit with us in the shade of course….”

KILLING FIELDS OF CANADA

Posted on by

 

Please post & distribute.

MNN. 6 Sep. 2019. First Canada murdered most of us. We had lived for thousands of years in peace until the white serpents brought back the war.

THE MASS MURDERS STARTED WITH THE JESUITS & THEIR BIOLOGICAL WARFARE WHICH CONTINUE TO THIS DAY. GUNS,  ALCOHOL, DRUGS & THEIR DISEASED WOMEN WERE PART OF THEIR ARSENAL.

By the 1800s, the settlers had perfected their killing machines when other forms of extinction were enacted. These were the Indian Act, the Indian Lands Acts of 1924 that created prisoner of war camps for the natives called reserves that we still live in today. We are the protectors of all of turtle island. 

THE MAIN TARGETS FOR DEATH AND ABUSE WERE THE CHILDREN AND BABIES.

We were forced into Indian Day Schools to become “Canadians” so our lands could be stolen. Many schools were built with adjacent “health clinics” where extraordinary experiments were carried out on our children. The RCMP would enter the classrooms, children were selected and sent over to the “clinic” never to be seen again. 

Our communities were run by the military. World War II vets were brought in to indoctrinate us. Canada is making restitution to the survivors by offering our lawyers, GowlingWLG, $55 million and the victims $10,000 each. $200,000 is dangled if you can prove beyond a reasonable doubt in Admiralty Court the atrocious methods of torture and punishment. One 80 year old survivor has sent the following letter to GowlingWLG. 

“Sep.5, 2019 

From . . . . . . . ., kahnawake, PQ JOL 1B0

 To: Robert Winogram, Jeremy Bouchard & Vanessa Lessard                           Gowling WLG [Canada] LLP, 160 Elgin St., Suite 2600, Ottawa ON K1P 1C3       Fax 1-613-563-9869 vanessa.lessard@gowlingwlg.com robert.winogram@gowlingwlg.com jeremy.bouchard@gowlingwlg.com

Sego.

This is to inform you that you are still my lawyers. I will not withdraw from the Indian Day School class action. In light of the court settlement I request that GowlingWLG accept on my behalf the $200,000 that is being offered, although this settlement pales in comparison to the calculated atrocities I suffered at the hands of the government of Canada. 

The genocide system of forcing us to attend the “Indian Day Schools” after 1920 was to make me a part of corporate Canada against my will. I was not even allowed to use my kanionkehaka’onwe name. It was meant to lead to our extinction so turtle island, our homeland, could be taken by the immigrants. 

The devised atrocities and life lasting harms continue to be applied equally to all of us to this day. We are one people. You hurt one, you hurt us all. 

Canada and the Prime Minister have admitted guilt, liability, responsibility and accountability.

WORLD WAR II VET  RAWLINGS AND OTHERS WERE ALWAYS READY TO CAUSE SEVERE PHYSICAL, SEXUAL, MENTAL & PSYCHOLOGICAL DAMAGE IN THE CLASSROOM. 

Canada’s payment is for abuse by teachers, officials, and others directed by the government. Our languages and cultures were constantly attacked. 

I attended Indian Day School in Kahnawake, starting in 1946. I am in favor of compensation for this premeditated brutality by the Government of Canada. The settlement is unreasonable. To pursue our case in the Admiralty Court system placed over us, adds salt to the wound.

CORPORATE INDIANS LIKE PERRY BELLEGARDE OF THE AFN CONSPIRACY SYSTEM ARE  TRAINED  TO HELP CANADA KILL US OFF.

Canada’s goal was and is always the extinction of the natives through assimilation, as outlined in the Indian Act, Indian Lands Acts of October 25th 1924 and many other acts. The [5 tier] “harm grid” is humiliating and will cause damage in our communities.  

I expressed my concerns to the federal court and to my lawyers. Since the court has now approved the settlement Gowling WLG has the fiduciary duty and obligation to continue to represent me. We must meet in person to discuss my case, how the settlement was arrived at, and my horrific journey through the Indian Day School.”

Wow! Chuck Berry sings about the kind of school days we didn’t have: “Soon as three o’clock rolls around. You finally lay your burden down. Close up your books, get out of your seat. Down the halls and into the street. Up to the corner and ’round the bend. Right to the juke joint, you go in. Drop the coin right into the slot. You’re gotta…”

TURTLE ISLAND: INDIAN INTEREST V. CROWN ASSERTION

Posted on by

 

Please post & distribute.

MNN. June 6, 2019. The International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights says: “All peoples have the right of self-determination. By virtue of that right they freely determine their political status and freely pursue their economic, social and cultural development.”

YOU CAME, HELPED YOURSELVES TO OUR LAND & TRIED TO DESTROY ALL LIFE!!! 

The immigrants own nothing. They stomp our rights to put funds into their pockets and pay their “Indians” [“First Nations”, “Band Council”, Assembly of First Nations” and other national and territorial corporate entities] to commit the genocide. This months they hope to sign a false declaration between the corporation of the government of Canada and their puppets. They think the onwekhonweh will be no more.

When the immigrants ignore teiohateh [two row], the only instrument that gives them conveyance to ‘occupy’ our land, they must leave.

EVERY STEP YOU TAKE ON OUR LAND IS WITHOUT OUR PERMISSION.

The non-Admiralty ‘Permanent Court of Arbitration’ is the first world court and is the dispute resolution court for countries.

We are turtle island! Our interest in our land is hidden by the false “crown assertion” that ignores the onkwehonweh’onwe original title placed here by ceeation. We are the people of the forever. The immigrants are signing the fraudulent Framework Agreement to try to steal turtle island and disappear us. This letter was sent to the Queen, the Pope, Zionists,  Canada, The Prime Minister, Parliament Hill and National Security and Defence.

RE: en skweh ia ra kwen

 I the undersigned,______________________________, as a Kanienkehaka of the Kaianere kowa Kanonsesne (original free human being of Turtle Island) are making it clear to your entity that any positions you take on your path does not cross my path and does not pertain to the Iroquois. The Rights and Reconciliation Framework that Your governing body is attempting to implement and the Indian Act Band Councils along with the Assembly of First Nations are in direct interference with the Two Row path. Your ancestors and ours have sacrificed much to come to this agreement.
Your subjects are violating Teiohateh (Two Row) using the Framework process and during this ongoing infringement on our original relationship, Teiohateh, we continue to stand by our original agreement to live side by side in peace. We strive to restore the peace that has been broken. It appears that the Silver Covenant Chain needs to be repolished. We feel that there is an immediate need to address this infringement on our relationship and therefore violation of our original agreement.
