WOMEN’S NOMINATION BELT

AUTHORIZES THE WOMEN TO NOMINATE AND GUIDE

THE MALE MEMBERS OF THEIR CLANS AND THE ROTINOSHONNI CONFEDERACY

From the kanien’keha:ka kahnistensera (Mohawk Mothers) Kahnawa:ke, Mohawk Territory kahnistensera@riseup.net

She:kon,

We are writing to inquire about the McCord Museum’s collection of Rotinonshon:ni belongings, particularly any wampum belts, beads, or strings that are either in storage or on display. We have also been made aware that many of our wampum presented as part of the McCord Museum’s “Wampum: Beads of Diplomacy” exhibit will be displaced to far-off institutions or into private possession. This is deeply concerning to us given as wampum are not material or cultural artworks of our people. You did not seek our permission to display these. They are inaccurate misrepresentations. We request they be returned immediately.

For example, the Teiohaha:te or “Two Row” wampum is an active, legally-binding treaty between two nations: the Rotinonshon:ni and the Dutch. The fabric of the Rotinonshon:ni Confederacy is made up of hundreds of wampum belts like this one, and as such this necessitates a constant practice of being in relation with them. It is impossible for our people to do so when our wampum are sitting in museums– whether that be in Canada or around the world– or in the hands of collectors, just gathering dust.

As Kahnistensera we are responsible for taking care of the land, and for taking care of the children of the past, present, and future and.making certain whoae wampum belts are available to our unborn children. It is also our duty to ensure that the Kaianereh’ko:wa or “Great Law of Peace” of the Rotinonshon:ni Confederacy is respected. It is with this understanding that we are reaching out to you. It is our hope that the McCord Museum, despite its historical lack of engagement with the original peoples of this land, the Onkwehonwe, is willing and able to engage in meaningful dialogue with us about our wampum.

We can be available as early as April 1st, 2024 for a meeting with you, whether that be in-person or online. If this works, then we suggest as a next step that we co-create an agenda for our meeting. Onen, Kahnistensera

Fats Domino Ready, sings about being willing and able. “Oh, well, I’m ready. I’m willing and I’m able to rock and roll. [repeat] Come on pretty baby. We gonna rock.

MNN. Nov. 8, 2017. Why are the original people of great turtle island forced to live in third world conditions? We’ve been trapped by the system brought here by the invaders. Treaties are nothing more than one-sided corporate resource extraction instruments, not designed to do anything for the INDIAN except keep us alive and in a cage.

The murderers designed and imposed the “kill the real natural people” and all natural life scenario. They developed the program to annihilate onkwe-hon-weh, except those with deceit, malice or animosity who are willing to manage their “cages” [reservations].

REZ HOME DESIGNED TO DEMORALIZE OUR PEOPLE.

We true natural people are one. We have the same basic process to live by the original instructions from creation to use our natural instincts to survive. We are the victims of the true Murder Inc. All traitors who violate the Two Row and kaia-nere-kowa are not our people. If they stay on turtle island they will come under our law or they will be expelled.

The military manages the genocide carried out by the thieving murderers [settlers]. The invaders are trained to be obedient.

UK QUEEN CRUELLA DEPOSITING BILLIONS OF STOLEN NATIVE MONEY IN HER OFF-SHORE ACCOUNTS.

The world sees the crimes and knows of the atrocities of the invaders: killing sprees, rez school death camps, missing and murdered women, scooping of our babies and children, sterilization, third world living conditions and avoidance of a proper international tribunal to deal with these crimes.

North Americans and their guilty slaves are trained to act innocent and try to portray our defence or resistance as “terrorism”. The world sees the atrocities and helplessness, but continues following “international law”, which is all based upon trade and commerce.

INDENTURED SERVANTS OF CORPO AMERICA READY TO FIGHT FOR THE EMPIRE!

We will continue to spread the great peace to the world.

Our mother guides us while people like Aldous Huxley and George Orwell guide the invaders. We are trying to stop this continual war. Corporatism is 51% majority rules, which is the basis of divide and conquer paradigm, ordo ab chao. Our consensual decision making process is based on each person being equal and having a voice until there is mutual agreement supported by all.

Jimmy Rodgers sings about Hobo Bill’s Last Ride [1929]: “Riding on the eastbound freight train speeding through the night, Hobo Bill, a railroad bum, was fighting for his life. The sadness of his eyes revealed the torture of his soul. He raised a weak and weary hand to brush away the cold. No warm lights flickered around him, and no blankets to fold. Nothing but the howling wind and the driving rain so cold. When he heard a whistle blowing in a dreamy kind of way, he seemed real contended as he smiled where he laid. Outside the rain was falling on that lonely boxcar door. But the little form of Hobo Bill laid still upon the floor. While the train sped through the darkness at the raging storm outside, no one knew that hobo bill was taking his last ride. It was early in the morning when they raised the hobo’s head, the smile was still on his face, but hobo bill was dead. There was no mother’s longing to soothe his weary soul. For he was just a railroad bum who died out in the cold”.

SURVIVAL FULL SPEED AHEAD!

MNN. Nov. 6, 2017. We have lost 5 young people to accidents in Kahnawake over a two week period. They are all our children. Then two of our elders, 75 and 80 years old, passed away and were buried on the same day. They constantly searched to understand the original instructions from creation.

WHEN WILL THE REVOLUTION START!

They never backed down. “We always have to be willing and able to fight. Those who are passive and chose not to fight are cowards. They are afraid of being called terrorists, of being humiliated, or going to prison.

Many who stood up and fought did go to prison, not for crimes but for standing up to prevent crimes against our people. Some were killed. They never give up on what they know is right according to the kaia-nere-kowa. They always defend and protect sovereignty.

QUIT PUTTING A DOLLAR SIGN ON EVERYTHING ON THIS PLANET!

kaia-nere-kowa does not promote violence to solve our issues. Our people need to be organized and prepared to protect every creature in creation, insects, plants, fish, animals and all life. Survival using our instincts is instilled in us by creation.

When some do not try to defend themselves, the rest of us are easy pickings for our enemies. We do not accept excuses that we are passive. Nature is not passive. We have to protect our people and children just as our ancestors did.

In the past people were put in coliseums so the lions could attack and eat them for entertainment. They prayed they would not be eaten. But they were. These intruders thrive on violence and blood sports.

WE HAVE OUR WORK CUT OUT FOR US!

We are using ceremonies and herbs to justify why we do nothing and ask the creator to fix it for us. We are supposed to give thanks for all that creation has provided. The creator did not protect our children from murder and sexual assault in residential school concentration camps. The creator did nothing when our women and girls are being kidnapped and killed. What are we doing to stop Canada and the US from putting our assimilated people on the fast track to total extinction?

Many have chosen to evade their responsibility to protect our land, our people and all life. If you don’t take responsibility, you have no rights. Don’t point fingers at warriors, AIM or anybody for what they did that might have gone wrong. What did you do?

Tell your children why they have no land while you are busy waiting for creator superman to solve your problems. You neglect your responsibility because you are weak. You criticize the strong ones who are willing to stand up to the best of their ability.

We make no excuses to do nothing. Those who do nothing are as guilty as the oppressors.

Our warriors are dying while the rest follow the pied piper off the cliff.

The late Fats Domino says we are ready, we are willing and we are able, so let’s rock and roll all night: “Well, I’m ready, I’m willing. And I’m able to rock and roll all night. I’m ready, I’m willing And I’m able to rock and roll all night. Come on pretty baby. We’re gonna rock, we’re gonna roll until the broad daylight.”
