MNN. June 25, 2016.<\/strong>\u00a0The true government of the rotino\u2019shonni is the teken\u2019tiokwan\u2019hoxta, the circle of 49 families. The band and tribal councils are CROWN corporations that do not legally represent us. Kevin Deer made a presentation at a recent elders council in Barrie Ontario, suggesting a Haudenosaunee World Bank. He was thinking of giving up his job in the Kahnawake language program, to work with the World Bank on this \u201cfinancial reset\u201d. Our land will be the major asset of this bank. The bankers are the main shareholders of all corporations. This is outright theft. The onkwe\u2019hon:weh system of decision making cannot be manipulated.<\/p>\n

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

TEKENTIOKWANHOXTA, the circle around our 49 families, forms the foundation of the constitution of the rotino\u2019shonni, Iroquois.\u00a0We protect our unborn children who own great turtle island. Two intertwined concepts of protection are our responsibility to mother earth and nature; and kaia\u2019nere:kowa, the great peace, the path provided for us to follow. \u00a0iekaia\u2019taieri means we are complete.\u00a0The power is the family. The will of the people is expressed by the circle of 49 families.<\/p>\n

Clan families are in place to carry out our duties. Women carry out their roles and responsibilities according to kaia\u2019nere:kowa. They place the men in their duties. The peace takes hold in all of kanien\u2019keh.<\/p>\n
