The Haudenosaunee under-19 women&#8217;s lacrosse team withdrew Thursday from the upcoming FIL U19 Women&#8217;s World Championship in Edinburgh, Scotland. The corporatists say our Rotinoshonni-issued passports are not valid because they do not meet their corporate standards. We, the natural people of our land, need a colonial passport for international travel. This is illegal and immoral as we ongwe\u2019hon:weh are not Canadian or American colonial settlers.<a href=\"https:\/\/mohawknationnews.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/iroquois-passport.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-4932\" src=\"https:\/\/mohawknationnews.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/iroquois-passport.png\" alt=\"iroquois passport\" width=\"190\" height=\"284\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>In 2010 Rotinoshonni sovereignty drew worldwide media attention when the U.K. would not allow the Iroquois Nationals men&#8217;s lacrosse team into its borders without Canadian or American passports. They withdraw from the tournament rather than use a corporate imposed identification. In 2014 in Denver they participated and earned the bronze medal because it took place on ono\u2019ware:geh, Great Turtle Island.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The colonialists would not wish others to know that we had a sophisticated system of issuing passes to those who would enter our nation and territory. We gave them a special name in our language to use when traversing among us. Other systems existed for those who wished to remain.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_4934\" style=\"width: 604px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/mohawknationnews.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/womens-lacross.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-4934\" class=\"size-full wp-image-4934\" src=\"https:\/\/mohawknationnews.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/womens-lacross.jpg\" alt=\"Haudenosaunee Women's Lacrosse\" width=\"594\" height=\"264\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mohawknationnews.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/womens-lacross.jpg 594w, https:\/\/mohawknationnews.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/womens-lacross-300x133.jpg 300w, https:\/\/mohawknationnews.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/womens-lacross-500x222.jpg 500w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 594px) 100vw, 594px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-4934\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><em><strong>Haudenosaunee Women&#8217;s Lacrosse<\/strong><\/em><\/p><\/div>\n<p>The Rotinoshonni issued passports in 1923 when <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Cayuga_people\">Cayuga<\/a> statesman <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Deskaheh\">Deskaheh<\/a> went to Geneva to apply for membership in the League of Nations.
