MNN. On Oct. 19, 2023, at Montreal these words were spoken by the kahnistensera Mohawk Mothers at the Public Service Alliance of Canada National Gathering on Reconciliation.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a> \"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Before I, kahentinetha of Kahnawake, begin let me tell you that the Public Alliance of Canada PSAC stood by me in 1990 when I was fired from my job at Indian Affairs in Ottawa for being a Mohawk during the Mohawk Oka crisis.<\/strong><\/p>\n

WHAT IS ‘RECONCILIATION’? Before you can have reconciliation you must have the truth the whole truth and nothing but the truth. Right now we are uncovering the truth of the genocide that Canada planned\u00a0 to execute on the indigenous people.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Nothing stays hidden. Reconciliation is the act of Canadian society accepting and enshrining their ‘truths’ into the Canadian consciousness. We need allies to uncover these truths. We don’t want our future generations to suffer as we have, for our children to have to deal with this 50 years from now. Now is the time!<\/strong><\/p>\n

Let us work together so that we can start on that act of ‘reconciliation’. So far over 10,000\u00a0 indigenous children have been found in unmarked graves. They were murdered but they were never forgotten in our minds. This act on us was profound. We have spent our lives trying to find balance with creation again.<\/strong><\/p>\n

We were told stories of\u00a0 what happened. We were called “liars ‘and were told, “You have to prove it !”But it was so carefully planned that the perpetrators thought they had left no traces of evidence.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

We have and continue to tell our truth. They keep saying, “Have you got any proof?” We were told that Canadian society is based only on ‘hard facts’. But those memories could not be erased from our minds. We have thousands of stories of the atrocities in a big data base. Something has to be done. Prime Minister Harper said, “Then take us to court”. We must investigate it.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

If a child you loved went missing, what would you do? How long and how far would you go to find your child, sister, brother, mother, father, grandfather, cousin, friend. I am a great grandmother and I will never stop looking.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Truth is hard work. We constantly face cover ups by politicians and bureaucrats of one of the most horrific crimes in humanity, the almost complete annihilation of our race. But if nothing is done, your children will carry the shame.<\/strong><\/p>\n

What do you need to do: Reconciliation is actually an accounting procedure. To finalize the theft of our land so Canada can become a country. 1867 was the first Indian act which still imprisons us. October 25, 1924 is the year of the ‘Indian Lands Act’, of each province, which has been removed from the internet. It is now the 99th<\/sup> year of Duncan Campbell Scott’s 100 year plan to do away with us and take over our land. But we are still here. The biggest hoax is your constitution is actually a corporate charter of a company owned by the royal family. 51% Is not democracy, it is corporatism.<\/strong><\/p>\n

This is your oath, \u201cI do swear that I will be faithful and bear true allegiance to His Majesty King Charles, the king of Canada, his heirs and successors. So help me god.\u201d In fact, you are taking an oath to his corporations, which goes against anything we know as we are free.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Do you understood what your constitution ls that rules your life, which you sign onto and vote for? The only way Canadians can heal is to have your own constitution that you ratify which is based on the natural law of kaianerekowa of great turtle island and the two row agreement.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Some\u00a0of\u00a0what\u00a0we\u00a0endured\u00a0is\u00a0in\u00a0the\u00a0lyrics\u00a0of\u00a0thahoketoteh:<\/strong><\/p>\n

I speak to\u00a0you now, proud and brave.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

Remembering\u00a0the\u00a0lessons\u00a0our\u00a0ancestors\u00a0gave<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

About\u00a0acknowledgements\u00a0and\u00a0respect,\u00a0as\u00a0the\u00a0four\u00a0races\u00a0intersect.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

From the\u00a0path\u00a0behind\u00a0us,\u00a0to\u00a0the one\u00a0that\u00a0lies\u00a0ahead.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

Let us walk softly on the road we tread.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

But hold our heads, high, as we move along thinking with one mind.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

As\u00a0we\u00a0sing\u00a0our\u00a0song.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

We’re\u00a0glad\u00a0to\u00a0say,\u00a0and\u00a0we\u00a0say\u00a0it\u00a0loud\u00a0and\u00a0clear,\u00a0through\u00a0all\u00a0the\u00a0sadness<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n
