STRAIGHT TALK WITH MCGILL LAW STUDENTS

Posted on by

MNN, Dec. 1, 2024. One of the Kahnistensera Mohawk Mothers made the following remarks to McGill Law School students on Nov. 25, 2024:

“Welcome to the land of my mother, onowarekeh turtle island, and welcome to my school, McGill University, which was paid for with our stolen Indian trust funds and never paid back to us. I am in the 85th year of my life, a knowledge keeper with a responsibility to set the record straight. Thank you for inviting me.  And please don’t take what I am going to say personally. 

I’ll begin with what happened here in 2015. Almost 10 years ago a group of Palestinians and the Demilitarize McGill group came to Kahnawake with over 600 pages of Freedom of Information documents to show us how military research was being carried out at McGill on behalf of weapons monopolies. This included drone warfare, missile guidance, domestic surveillance, explosives and air combat. They told us about the strife in Palestine and the role McGill was apparently playing in it.

On the following Saturday I decided to seize McGill University according to my responsibility as a progenitor of the soil of turtle island and my duties to the great peace. I served  my seizure notice by Registered Mail on September 12, 2015. Here is the seizure notice. I was ignored. But it did not mean that I was wrong. https://mohawknationnews.com/blog/2015/09/12/mohawk-seizure-notice-to-mcgill/ McGill is on kahnienkehaka land and they are violating the kaianerekowa by assisting in making weapons to kill people and I ordered them to stop and also to meet so we could talk about it. No answer. Several law students told me that they received a copy of my seizure notice and had to write an essay on it. In the end the professors said if this notice went to court, I would win. The students were told that it would be set aside and not spoken of again. Almost immediately plans were announced that there would be a huge renovation of McGill University, to dig up the grounds and put new buildings on it.

A few years later another Kahnistensera Mohawk Mother and I decided to write to the boss of McGill of tekanontak [Mount Royal] and ask again to meet with us to discuss our concerns. Still ignored. Then we decided to take a court action to inform them that we were serious. This is now going into its third year and has now been filed in the Supreme Court of Canada, SCC File No. 41502. We Kahnistensera Mohawk Mothers have no funds and no lawyers. We are conducting our own case by our traditional concensual decision making process of the kaianerekowa, the great peace. 

Great White Pine
The Tree of Peace

Then recently another group of students decided to plant the Great White Pine behind the Roddick Gates of McGill. This tree is our symbol of world peace. Before the tree planting ceremony the knowledge keeper from Kahnawake walked over to McGill security and asked them, “Where are you from? Why did you come here to our land.” They told him of the hardship and strife they and their ancestors had suffered in their foreign homeland.  Then the knowledge keeper asked, “So having left all that, why did you come here and mistreat us on our land?” They did not answer. Later while the tree planting ceremony took place the security stood by and quietly watched the procedure. The same night the tree was uprooted by McGill Administration. The next morning they called the Student Union to “come get your tree”. It was taken to Kanehsatake. No decision has been made yet as to the next course of action.  

Everyone needs to understand that our court case is meant to present a peaceful solution, not to get into a fight with our opponents. Our actions are based on our natural will to survive and love for our land, Kanenronkwatsera. 

Sections 35 and 52 of the Canadian constitution of 1982 are Canada’s words that support the existence of kaianerekowa, the great peace and the two row agreement, which have been here since time immemorial and will remain until infinity. We are part of creation. Our ancient ways on turtle island do not need your affirmation. Creation affirmed our existence because that is who we are. You are bound to your imported man-made laws that have no bearing on us or turtle island.  You seem to chose your laws and change them at will.  Our way provides that since you have intruded on our land without our invitation you too must live by the great peace. Instead you shut down our voices. No one owns our mother. We are her caretakers. The intruders system is based on 51% winners and 49% losers, or various parties attacking each other, otherwise known as a failed democracy where 49% have no voice. 

We would never abuse or let anyone take us away from our duties and responsibilities to care for our mother earth and then let their foreign military take us to live in death camps called “reserves” where we have no rights or freedom. We are part of the natural gift of creation. The intruders show us every day they cannot take care of our mother. They rape, pillage and destroy her constantly.

Your laws are made to put fear into you backed by threats of punishment or death. We all know about the goodness of the great law of peace. We see that you don’t want to abide by our ways. Even some of our own people have been mislead into following the wrong path.

One of the problems is that you don’t know the truth about us, then you make up misinformation to hide your crimes.  Then you refuse to reveal the truth. You are living on generations of disinformation. We can tell what we know and what we see. It seems you let a few control which you allow to continue. When you realized that our way of living is for peace, your goal became to destroy those who got in your way and tried to stop the continuing systemic theft, enslavement, annihilation, genocide, ecocide, ethnocide and crimes against humanity by church and state for your benefit. 

The invaders are squatting on our land that they can never own. You have set up a process to completely annihilate or assimilate us. We have no say in this.  No, don’t mention your band councils who work for you to carry out your deeds. Everybody knows right from wrong. You study, write your exams, pledge allegiance to a foreigner and his family and then get a job in the corporate system to carry out the corporate agenda.  

Backed by the military.

Why are so many terrified of the truth? When you arrived on turtle island, you agreed to live our way, just as you would when you go to any other country in the world. We welcomed you. You knew that our way could not destroy or subjugate you if you followed our kaianerekowa, great peace. Then you changed. The time has come for you to learn and accept the truth about your violations of the great peace.

You were to live here according to the great peace and the two row, you on your ship and us on our land. You stopped us from being stewards of our land. You are supposed to care for the land just like us. The “Indian lands act” of Oct. 1924, called the “100 year business plan”, was enacted to remove us totally from our mother. You did not want to live side by side with us in peace. You wanted it all and had to annihilate us. You used foreign laws to pass your laws to kill us and to carry out the theft without punishment. These are still the laws of the invaders.

You acknowledge that McGill University is on unceded kahnienkehka land. You now have to undo the wrongs you have done. Truth and reconciliation do not mean anything when you ignore our agreements. Only when you accept the whole truth can you start to create the balance. 

The truth of the harm you have done to us goes very far back. How and why did your people place yourselves here? “Manifest destiny” and “terra nullius” are meant for you invaders to take everything and get everything for nothing. You were told the land was stolen and that you could come here and get rich. 

We are still trying to reconcile with the genociders and the benefitters. Section 35 of the constitution affirms our presence since time immemorial to care for our mother and that our ways are the laws of turtle island. Those who don’t follow the kaianerekowa, the great peace, do not belong here. We are not an historical footnote to be forgotten. Canadians are from Europe which we do not want to be. You are not sovereign here. Turtle island is not your original land from the beginning of time. Your languages, religions, and cultures are foreign to this land and aren not welcome here.  

As we part I thought I’d let you know that I went to your law school a long time ago. I lasted one semester because to me the false retributive justice system was all horse —-.  Nia wen for listening to me”.

The Rolling Stones can’t get no satisfaction but maybe the Mohawk Mothers might get some in the Supreme Court of Canada:

TREE OF PEACE PLANTED & UPROOTED FROM MCGILL U.

Posted on by

MNN. Nov. 17, 2024.

Activists planted a pine on McGill University's downtown campus to promote peace.Activists planted a pine on McGill University’s in  downtown Montreal campus to promote peace.

Great White Pine
The Tree of Peace

On Sunday activists planted a tree in “hopes for justice for all oppressed peoples around the world.”

Katsi’tsakwas Ellen Gabriel said the great white pine is a symbol of peace. The small tree was brought from Kanesatake to be planted to promote peace among all people. The tree planting ceremony was conducted by the Traditional Longhouse people on the university’s lower field, where a pro-Palestinian encampment stood for over two months last spring.

All injunction requests that were filed in Quebec court were rejected. McGill hired a private security firm to dismantle the camp in July. Activists felt that McGill has been suppressing students’ free speech. 

Though McGill told Gabriel and other activists that they were not allowed to plant the tree on campus, security didn’t stop the activists.

Many donned keffiyehs and carried Palestinian, other flags and the Mohawk Warrior Society flag. Gabriel said the tree planting was “a gesture of solidarity for all those who are fighting for peace for people everywhere. It’s important to promote this message of peace. We want wars to stop. We want peace for everybody.” said Gabriel.

McGill was informed twice that a group planned to plant the white pine as a “permanent monument.”

In 1779 George Washington’s favorite general, John Sullivan, marched with 13,800 men through Seneca country to Onondaga to chop down the white pine, the great tree of peace. Natives of north and south America knew about this tree of peace. It was the greatest crime ever committed by the settlers on turtle island, and they doomed themselves to forever become the Republic of War. 

“When we were told that this plan would not be approved, we received a reply stating ‘We reiterate that we will be planting a tree of peace on Nov. 17,’ and that ‘We will decide what to do on our homelands,’” 

McGill had “various reasons” to reject the tree’s planting. “McGill’s commitment to the spirit of reconciliation is enduring” through other university initiatives. Okay, let’s plant the tree together somewhere else for the next seven generations to behold our joint act of peace today? Gabriel reminded McGill that “You are on our homeland, and we want everyone to act peacefully.”

“The tree is a symbol of peace that the world badly needs,” said Gabriel. McGill and the people could together plant it elsewhere. 
Listen to the two main speakers: tekarontake and katsitsakwas:
Margaret Whiting in the 1940s sang a beautiful song about a tree in the meadow. Let us plant the indigenous white pine somewhere so that we all can watch it grow into beauty and power:  there’s a tree in the meadow with a stream drifting by, and carved upon that tree I see ‘I’ll love you until I die. I will always remember the love in your eye… but further on down lover’s lane a silhouette I see. I know you are kissing someone else. I wish it were me by that tree in the meadow…

AKWESASNE 8 DISMISSED – NY POWER HAS NO DOCUMENTS

Posted on by

BREAKING NEWS

MNN. NOV. 12, 2024. Akwesasne 8 DISMISSED. NY Power Authority fails to produce documents necessary to move forward. The charges of Conspiracy to a Felony, and Trespassing against the six of the Akwesasne 8, who appeared today, were dismissed today at Massena Town Court. The District Attorney stated that New York Power Authority (NYPA) did not produce appropriate documents to move forward. Researchers for the Akwesasne 8 had gone to the St. Lawrence County Office for Deeds and Records to find a Deed/Land Title showing NYPA ownership. There is no record. When discovery documents were offered to the Akwesasne 8, each asked whether the documents contained a Title to the land on which the Akwesasne 8 were arrested. The District Attorney implied such documents were not part of the discovery packets.

In March 2022, Federal Judge Kahn of the Northern New York District of US Federal Court, ruled that New York State possession of Mohawk land is a violation of the Nonintercourse Act which prohibits land transfer of Indian land to non-Indians without Congressional approval. On May 22, 2024 eight Kanienke’háka were arrested for Trespassing at Niionenhiasekówahne (Barnhart Island). Seven of the eight were charged with Conspiracy to a Felony. One person was charged with a Felony. There is a long history of Onkwehonwe relations to Niionenhiasekowá:ne (Barnhart Island) – from the Dish With One Spoon Agreement, to Onkwehonwe families living on the island, and continue today through Kanienke’háka assertion of hunting, fishing, tree tapping, and medicine gathering liberties.

The Akwesasne Mohawk Land Claim Settlement agreement seeks to sever Onkwehonwe relationship to Niionenhiasekowá:ne, formally ceding the island’s title to New York State for $70 million and subjecting our hunting and gathering rights to foreign governments. The Onkwehonwe that began construction at Niionenhiasekowá:ne acted in assertion of Kanienke’háka inherent and original rights as well as the pre-existing governance of Kaienerekowa. “The Band Council, Tribe, state and federal governments are outside Kaienerekowa governance as younger governmental entities cannot and will not ostracize us from our lands and waters.” Said one of the Akwesasne 8. “We are going back to Niionenhiasekowá:ne because it is Kanienke’háka land.” A group of the Akwesasne 8 stated.

LET’S READ THE “INDIAN LANDS ACT”OF 1924

Posted on by

MNN. Oct. 28, 2024.

The Indian Lands Act of October 25, 1924, is the beginning of the “100 year plan, the root of all the evil of the colony Canada to take indigenous lands throughout onowarekeh turtle island. The government of Canada seized all sovereign unceded indigenous territories. All reservations were designed as POW camps for the indians. 530 reservations were created across the Dominion. Their framework agreement is based upon this act which is the root of all the evil. 

An Act for the settlement of certain questions between the Governments of Canada and Ontario respecting Indian Reserve Lands

S.C. 1924, c. 48

Assented to 1924-07-19

An Act for the settlement of certain questions between the Governments of Canada and Ontario respecting Indian Rights:

Marginal note:Agreement binding, and Governor in Council authorized to carry out its provisions

1 The agreement between the Dominion of Canada and the Province of Ontario, in the terms set out in the schedule hereto, shall be as binding on the Dominion of Canada as if the provisions thereof had been set forth in an Act of this Parliament, and the Governor in Council is hereby authorized to carry out the provisions of the said agreement.

SCHEDULE

Reserve Lands

His Majesty, by and with the advice and consent of the Senate and House of Commons of Canada, enacts as follow

Memorandum of Agreement made in triplicate this 24th day of March 1924.

Between the Government of the Dominion of Canada, acting herein by the Honourable Charles Stewart, Superintendent General of Indian Affairs, of the first part,

And the Government of the Province of Ontario, acting herein by the Honourable James Lyons, Minister of Lands and Forests, and the Honourable Charles McCrea, Minister of Mines, of the second part.

Whereas from time to time treaties have been made with the Indians for the surrender for various considerations of their personal and usufructuary rights to territories now included in the Province of Ontario, such considerations including the setting apart for the exclusive use of the Indians of certain defined areas of land known as Indian Reserves; [actually prisons]

And Whereas, except as to such Reserves, the said territories were by the said treaties freed, for the ultimate benefit of the Province of Ontario, of the burden of the Indian rights, and became subject to be administered by the Government of the said Province for the sole benefit thereof;

And Whereas the surrender of the whole or some portion of a Reserve by the band of Indians to whom the same was allotted has, in respect of certain Reserves in the Provinces of Ontario and Quebec, been under consideration in certain appeals to the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council, and the respective rights of the Dominion of Canada and the Province of Ontario, upon such surrenders being made, depend upon the law as declared by the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council and otherwise affecting the Reserve in question, and upon the circumstances under which it was set off;

And Whereas on the 7th day of July, 1902, before the determination of the last two of the said appeals, it had been agreed between counsel for the Governments of the Dominion of Canada and the Province of Ontario, respectively, that, as a matter of policy and convenience, and without thereby affecting the constitutional or legal rights of either of the said Governments, the Government of the Dominion of Canada should have full power and authority to sell, lease and convey title in fee simple or for any less estate to any lands forming part of any Reserve thereafter surrendered by the Indians, and that any such sales, leases or other conveyances as had theretofore been made by the said Government should be confirmed by the Province of Ontario, the Dominion of Canada, however, holding the proceeds of any lands so sold, leased or conveyed subject, upon the extinction of the Indian interest therein and so far as such proceeds had been converted into money, to such rights of the Province of Ontario as might exist by law;

And Whereas by the said agreement it was further provided that, as to the Reserves set aside for the Indians under a certain treaty made in 1873 and recited in the Schedule to the Dominion Statute, 54-55 Victoria, chapter 5, and the Statute of the Province of Ontario, 54 Victoria, chapter 3, the precious metals should be considered to form part thereof and might be disposed of by the Dominion of Canada in the same way and subject to the same conditions as the land in which they existed, and that the question whether the precious metals in the lands included in Reserves set aside under other treaties were to be considered as forming part thereof or not, should be expressly left for decision in accordance with the circumstances and the law governing each;

Now This Agreement Witnesseth that the parties hereto, in order to settle all outstanding questions relating to Indian Reserves in the Province of Ontario, have mutually agreed, subject to the approval of the Parliament of Canada and the Legislature of the Province of Ontario, as follows:

  • 1 All Indian Reserves in the Province of Ontario heretofore or hereafter set aside, shall be administered by the Dominion of Canada for the benefit of the band or bands of Indians to which each may have been or may be allotted; portions thereof may, upon their surrender for the purpose by the said band or bands, be sold, leased or otherwise disposed of by letters patent under the Great Seal of Canada, or otherwise under the direction of the Government of Canada, and the proceeds of such sale, lease or other disposition applied for the benefit of such band or bands, provided, however, that in the event of the band or bands to which any such Reserve has been allotted becoming extinct, or if, for any other reason, such Reserve, or any portion thereof is declared by the Superintendent General of Indian Affairs to be no longer required for the benefit of the said band or bands, the same shall thereafter be administered by, and for the benefit of, the Province of Ontario, and any balance of the proceeds of the sale or other disposition of any portion thereof then remaining under the control of the Dominion of Canada shall, so far as the same is not still required to be applied for the benefit of the said band or bands of Indians, be paid to the Province of Ontario, together with accrued unexpended simple interest thereon. THIS IS THE 100 YEAR PLAN!

  • 2 Any sale, lease or other disposition made pursuant to the provisions of the last preceding paragraph may include or may be limited to the minerals (including the precious metals) contained in or under the lands sold, leased or otherwise disposed of, but every grant shall be subject to the provisions of the statute of the Province of Ontario entitled “The Bed of Navigable Waters Act”, Revised Statutes of Ontario, 1914, chapter thirty-one.

  • 3 Any person authorized under the laws of the Province of Ontario to enter upon land for the purpose of prospecting for minerals thereupon shall be permitted to prospect for minerals in any Indian Reserve upon obtaining permission so to do from the Indian Agent for such Reserve and upon complying with such conditions as may be attached to such permission, and may stake out a mining claim or claims on such Reserve.

  • 4 No person not so authorized under the laws of the Province of Ontario shall be given permission to prospect for minerals upon any Indian Reserve.

  • 5 The rules governing the mode of staking and the size and number of mining claims in force from time to time in the Province of Ontario or in the part thereof within which any Indian Reserve lies shall apply to the staking of mining claims on any such Reserve, but the staking of a mining claim upon any Indian Reserve shall confer no rights upon the person by whom such claim is staked except such as may be attached to such staking by the Indian Act or other law relating to the disposition of Indian Lands.

  • 6 Except as provided in the next following paragraph, one-half of the consideration payable, whether by way of purchase money, rent, royalty or otherwise, in respect of any sale, lease or other disposition of a mining claim staked as aforesaid, and, if in any other sale, lease or other disposition hereafter made of Indian Reserve lands in the Province of Ontario, any minerals are included, and the consideration for such sale, lease or other disposition was to the knowledge of the Department of Indian Affairs affected by the existence or supposed existence in the said lands of such minerals, one-half of the consideration payable in respect of any such other sale, lease or other disposition, shall forthwith upon its receipt from time to time, be paid to the Province of Ontario; the other half only shall be dealt with by the Dominion of Canada as provided in the paragraph of this agreement numbered 1.

  • 7 The last preceding paragraph shall not apply to the sale, lease or other disposition of any mining claim or minerals on or in any of the lands set apart as Indian Reserves pursuant to the hereinbefore recited treaty made in 1873, and nothing in this agreement shall be deemed to detract from the rights of the Dominion of Canada touching any lands or minerals granted or conveyed by His Majesty for the use and benefit of Indians by letters patent under the Great Seal of the Province of Upper Canada, of the Province of Canada or of the Province of Ontario, or in any minerals vested for such use and benefit by the operation upon any such letters patent of any statute of the Province of Ontario.

  • 8 No water-power included in any Indian Reserve, which in its natural condition at the average low stage of water has a greater capacity than five hundred horsepower, shall be disposed of by the Dominion of Canada except with the consent of the Government of the Province of Ontario and in accordance with such special agreement, if any, as may be made with regard thereto and to the division of the purchase money, rental or other consideration given therefor.

  • 9 Every sale, lease or other disposition heretofore made under the Great Seal of Canada or otherwise under the direction of the Government of Canada of lands which were at the time of such sale, lease or other disposition included in any Indian Reserve in the Province of Ontario, is hereby confirmed, whether or not such sale, lease or other disposition included the precious metals, but subject to the provisions of the aforesaid statute of the Province of Ontario entitled “The Bed of Navigable Waters Act”, and the consideration received in respect of any such sale lease or other disposition shall be and continue to be dealt with by the Dominion of Canada in accordance with the provisions of the paragraph of this agreement numbered 1, and the consideration received in respect of any sale, lease or other disposition heretofore made under the Great Seal of the Province of Ontario, or under the direction of the Government of the said Province, of any lands which at any time formed part of any Indian Reserve, shall remain under the exclusive control and at the disposition of the Province of Ontario.

  • 10 Nothing herein contained, except the provision for the application of “The Bed of Navigable Waters Act” aforesaid, shall affect the interpretation which would, apart from this agreement, be put upon the words of any letters patent heretofore or hereafter issued under the Great Seal of Canada or the Great Seal of the Province of Ontario, or of any lease or other conveyance, or of any contract heretofore or hereafter made under the direction of the Government of Canada or of the Province of Ontario.

In Witness Whereof these presents have been signed by the parties thereto the day and year above written.

INVASIVE SPECIES

Posted on by

MNN. Oct. 22, 2024. The Europeans invaded our land to build an economy, by killing the indigenous, stealing our motherland and using our trust funds to get the nails to hammer the lid in the box they threw us in. They came with delusions of grandeur to strike it rich, the American dream. Since arriving the invaders have raped and pillaged our mother.   

When they saw our beautiful mother, they locked us up until such time as we would be no more. They knew about the true loving affection we have for her and everything below, on and above her.  

Genocide tactics were imported to turtle island to manage the mass murders that had worked on their own people to suppress and manage them on their land. The wealthy elite kept their own estates in Europe as they do here on turtle island where they  keep their stolen property in good health for their own pleasure, enjoyment and safety. Meanwhile the people they invited to turtle island languish in urban decay. Now mother nature is taking her revenge to bring herself back into balance. 

Now they pit the survivors of the genocide against each other. We are trying to move towards the light of awareness to stop this madness. We know the power of the mind. We can give each other permission to be super heroes and take care of the earth.  Our place and duties on turtle island are not a mistake. We will all wake up when everyone sees what the kaianerekowa can do, bring people together to save the world. Unfortunately there are those who deny their plundering and may never awaken. This could be the time when the killers are sent back from whence they came. Yes, creation will stop the destruction of our mother. 

Colonialism is a nice word for this “invasive species” which is trying to kill the natural balance by amalgamating and controlling the humane qualities of our mother. This species has deliberately disrupted and destroyed the natural balance which is crucial for nature. 

When we communicate in our own language we find the balance through which we get our messages from creation. Our means to live as one with nature was taken away and we had to speak a foolish man-made language of the invaders. Now the whole world is being pushed to speak one commercial language, an amalgamation of corporate commercial communication. Speaking all these corporate languages is confusing. We are unable to think creatively. Some of us are having difficulty thinking and connecting with each other to survive and to get our messages from nature, the way we are suppose to. 

Once upon a time we indigenous had an international language, sign language. Now we are unable to think and operate the way we are suppose which throws us off balance.   

International cargo ship wrecks in Kahnawake Sep. 2024

Then in 1953 the St. Lawrence Seaway dug through our community of Kahnawake. Our earth mother was pummelled and destroyed along with our earth language. We went into shock. Suddenly we could not hear our language. Our parents and ancestors feared the loss of more of our people by the calculated murders by the oppressors. We were told we needed English to survive. They ruined our land and killed our language, which is the basis of our survival. Our ancestors began to speak foreign languages out of fear. Today we would give up everything just to have our language. 

This destruction caused rifts and breakage between us. Losing our language was not our fault. Here it was the Seaway gouging our land that also gouged our language from our minds. As they chip away at our land they chip away at us.  

The media never promoted the most important song that Michael Jackson ever sang:

KAHNISTENSERA/MOHAWK MOTHERS FILE IN SUPREME COURT OF CANADA IN SEARCH FOR UMARKED GRAVES OF THEIR CHILDREN

 

MNN. Oct. 15, 2024. After the”opening words that come before” at the rally, these were the words of a Mohawk knowledge keeper: “We find ourselves in the ongoing violation of the teiohateh two row, which is the agreement made between us in the beginning of our relationship. We have tried to alert the Crown that there is a violation going on which places both of us in rough waters. Today we stand in front the Supreme Court of Canada facing a political violation by the people of Canada that we wish to discuss so that we may get justice.

PLANET PEACE

Posted on by

OCT. 12, 2024. MNN. 

On turtle island some are waking up. Because the indigenous people who survived the continuing genocide are making it happen. All people are now awakened and have to fix it. Some want to continue their murderous pointless criminal style dream, especially the “reconciliationists”. Their main purpose was to move to stolen land to make money. But now they sense they are on a sinking ship. They don’t know how much time they have left. So they are hurrying the completion of their project. In reality their dream is actually our nightmare and we are making known to them how they continue to interference in our duty to take care of our mother earth. These strangers cannot stay here unless they learn to live naturally according to the kaianerekowa, the great peace. They must cooperate with creation which is difficult for them. They came here temporarily and will leave to return to their mothers to help her or go elsewhere. We have always encouraged them to clean up their garbage on onowarekeh turtle island. We can’t let them stay here until they finish destroying all of turtle island. 

Here is what is happening.

The colonists messed up their homeland and then migrated to another land, here. The told us their stay on turtle island was suppose to be temporary. They broke this promise. Before they came from their Kanatsaion’on Old Country they developed a plan to secretly annihilate the indigenous people and to make up a legend that these strange inhabitants once lived here but disappeared. Settlers were taught we were not real Indians. Their plan was to totally exterminate us all, take all the resources and then move on. In the meantime they created republics of war to put down any resistance here and elsewhere where they planned to kill off or assimilate the natural peoples and then take over the land, always thinking ahead in their journey to take over the world. The original people and creation were not told about this plan as we lived according to nature.

They came to turtle island only to try to get rich, died poor and now their children are doing the same, raping the earth trying to get rich. They are still trying to disappear us. Dekanawida warned us that “the white serpent would have us squeezed so tight we could hardly breathe”.  Throughout they have moved their people in to inhabit our lands. Then unseemly events occurred like railroads and highways to claim all our lands. Nature is going to teach them. If the settlers are smart they will come to the indigenous elders to understand about oneness with nature, unity. They must clean up their messes and live absolutely sustainable with mother earth. 

All the work was done for them by imported slaves and workers to be disposed of when necessary, work that can now be done by machines and robots. Our indigenous saw them as strange, ia-ra-ti-konkwe kiken, unhumans and as corporate fictions, way back when. Our elders taught our young women not to have children with these artificial entities. But our women were impregnated by the strangers to create a servant class. They had ads in the newspapers of Europe to come to take “free” land. The deep state corporation imposed their laws throughout by treaties of international trade and commerce.

Actually they were to be killed or die off if things did not work out. It was called “Starting Over” in the new lands of other peoples. Hitler learned from the American experience how to implement the Nazi program using the concentration camps as the reservations. Then “You’ll have room to grow”. We were placed by the military on concentration camps called “reservations”. Canada’s plan is to make us citizens and complicit in their plan to execute us as a people and to claim our land. “Reconciliation” is the definition of their corporate fiction.

European oligarchs are the beneficiaries and the shareholders. To them we are expendable. Robots to be thrown in the garbage dump. Every aspect of their “pioneering” is programmed, like pouring toxins in and near our communities to poison us. Cutting down all our trees. While all their holidays are to remind them of their old country, except for one, the indigenous thanksgiving harvest. When these people get to their new ‘land’ they always wish they were somewhere else because they do not belong here. Many wonder what they are doing here. After several generations the settlers are starting to realize the indigenous values. They call it “the great awakening”.  

We indigenous do not wish to be anywhere else but on our mother where creation placed us so we can take care of her. They have no ties to her as we do. We tell each other stories so we know we are not alone. The colonizers say they came to turtle island to start a new culture. But they had to first eliminate the ones who were already here. These people fly from one place to another but end up dying alone because they don’t belong anywhere. Their minds are robotic, without deep feelings. They are people who are not tied to the land like us. They could and can still kill us without remorse and then hide and forget about it. It was part of the plan. Being unnatural people they change their appearance and language.  

But they messed up and did not tell their people. In Canada they have been in a cocoon. Now the settlers want to become butterflies. They’ve been asleep waiting to come out as something beautiful.

We indigenous live in our close knit communities and always maintain our ties to each other. The settlers say they came here to build a new world in this open country where they had room to grow. But they had to take care of business first. Us! 

Turtle island was a business venture. The biggest on earth. The deep state filled theirs and everybody’s heads with dreams that they can get rich on stolen lands while helping to murder the natural people. They were sent to this new world of the okwehonweh natives, to onowarekeh, turtle island, which the marauders named “North America”. As a coverup all the original geographical names were killed too. Also, we were all forced to be called silly foreign names or punished. They told us they were sent here by their gurus because it was their fate. We sensed it was all planned out by big companies who made a lot of money and gained a lot of world power. We noticed these companies are all owned by the same families. They invaded our paradise instead of fixing their garbage covered unliveable lands.

They set out to annihilate all life on turtle island. Despite our faults we can survive as we love one another and our land.  We were told there will be a bright light many times brighter than the sun coming from the east, all the serpents will flee onowarekeh. There will be two suns in the sky and the peace will return. We are on the cycle of the return of the sky world and the peace.” 

John Denver and others sang and said that we must all keep all of our mother beautiful. 

He was born in the summer of his 27th yearComing home to a place he’d never been beforeHe left yesterday behind him, you might say he was born againYou might say he found a key for every door
When he first came to the mountains his life was far awayOn the road and hanging by a songBut the string’s already broken and he doesn’t really careIt keeps changing fast and it don’t last for long
But the Colorado Rocky Mountain highI’ve seen it rainin’ fire in the skyThe shadow from the starlight is softer than a lullabyRocky Mountain high (Colorado)Rocky Mountain high (high in Colorado)
He climbed cathedral mountains, he saw silver clouds belowHe saw everything as far as you can seeAnd they say that he got crazy once and he tried to touch the sunAnd he lost a friend but kept the memory
Now he walks in quiet solitude the forests and the streamsSeeking grace in every step he takesHis sight has turned inside himself to try and understandThe serenity of a clear blue mountain lake
And the Colorado Rocky Mountain highI’ve seen it rainin’ fire in the skyTalk to God and listen to the casual replyRocky Mountain high (high in Colorado)Rocky Mountain high (high in Colorado)
Now his life is full of wonder but his heart still knows some fearOf a simple thing he cannot comprehendWhile they try to tear the mountains down to bring in a couple moreMore people, more scars upon the land
And the Colorado Rocky Mountain highI’ve seen it rainin’ fire in the skyI know he’d be a poorer man if he never saw an eagle flyRocky Mountain high
Colorado Rocky Mountain highI’ve seen it rainin’ fire in the skyFriends around the campfire and everybody’s highRocky Mountain high (high in Colorado)

Following the Court of Appeal of Québec overturning the Superior Court of Québec decision’s to this effect at the request of McGill University and the Quebec government (via the Société québécoise des infrastructures, SQI), the Kanien’kehà:ka kahnistensera and the Independent Special Interlocutor Kimberly Murray will be holding a press conference with their supporters on Tuesday, October 15, 2024 at noon in front of the Supreme Court of Canada (301 Wellington Street, Ottawa to report on this major moment in which they are turning to the Supreme Court of Canada.

EXHUMATION DAY OF ‘D.C.SQUAT’ OCT. 25, 2024.

Posted on by

MNN. Oct. 4, 2024. The 2022 Gross National Product of the colony of Canada is $2,139,840.000,000 [trillions] for 2022 which all comes from the land of the murdered Indigenous people of turtle island, most of who lie dead in secret graves in turtle island. The invaders brought nothing here from their land. The number of murders is hidden by the usurpers from Europe and their accomplices. One day national leaders will be prosecuted for war crimes by courts. They are all on our shores uninvited by us. They still have plans to extinguish the rest of our rights. Now we can see why it is the army that runs the Department of Indian Affairs and the war for our land is still ongoing as they pillage all of our natural resources to enrich a few. These criminals who believe they are masterminds must answer for the horror they have carried out and plan to continue to inflict on us. They live off the proceeds of one of the bloodiest regimes in human history. Canada, It’s over.  

No matter how much apologies they give us, it is meaningless. Their “apology program” is somehow to lessen the responsibility of their crime. Canada is a recent invention. 153 years old, a privately owned corporation by the same 13 families that we noticed were running everything on both sides of the fake border they put up on turtle island after the false flag American Revolution. Each municipality of Canada is a private corporation and the trustees are all bankers. Therefore, they own each of the citizens of each municipality outright according to their legalese system. The paupers of Europe stole our lives, possessions and land. Justice will be carried out and there will be punishment for this nightmare that has shackled us.  

The human being has the potential to be good and bad. Many need laws to be half way nice because it is not their nature. But all good and bad still benefitted from the crimes. The wrongs are so calculated, malignant and devastating that the world can no longer ignore it. Only the return of the peace will stop it. We shall have peace on earth and it’s coming soon. The kaianerekowa will punish them for committing the worst horrors ever. They destroyed us with ruthless brutality.  

The genocide is ongoing. The immigrants have in common that they came here to turtle island with the hope of getting rich on stolen Indian land. They all had ambitions to take our land and to murder us. Their military were behind them.

Today they have us all locked on these reservations. We are strong. We will survive as creation intended. 

“Our object is to continue [their disappearance] until there is not a single Indian in Canada”. Duncan Campbell Scott. [Indian Affairs]

We want D.C. Scott’s body exhumed and returned to his homeland in Scotland where he belongs.

Paul Revere & the Raiders reminds us of the recent past raid of our men, women, children and our mother earth: “they took the whole cherokee nation, locked us on this reservation. Took away our way of life . . .”
