MNN. Dec. 3, 2014. As Don Corleone said, “We’ll give them an offer they can’t refuse”. The INDIANS known as the Mohawk Council of Kahnawake MCK were obviously trained at the school of dirty tricks. I saw these tactics played on our people when I worked at Indian Affairs. They tried to follow it at the December 2 meeting at the Golden Agers to discuss the Seigneury land issue.
Corpo INDIANS taking orders from the Crown: "Make them sign it!"
Corpo INDIANS taking orders from the Crown: “Make them sign it!”
Canada needs Ongwehonwe consent for pipelines, resource extraction and so on throughout Canada. They want to remove the Mohawks out of Montreal, the same way the Americans wanted the Cherokee out of Georgia. The white people want to populate Kahnawake.
The Seigneury of Sault St. Louis is on Kanionkehaka land. Any deal between Canada and itself through their corporate councils is an internal deal amongst themselves. The Corpo INDIANS are not Ongwehonwe.
Sitting at the front imitating their masters, the INDIANS dictated the CROWN’s agenda. We were told to keep this a secret. The Great Law provides that all meetings are open to everyone. Every mind is important to the whole.
The INDIANS want to put us on the legal fiction called CROWN land? The INDIANS are trying to get us to agree to a price, as the bankers require for their fraudulent economy based on land theft. We are being offered 65,000 acres of our own land near the border, 24,000 acres towards Ottawa or a large tract near Mt. Tremblant, which is Algonquin land. The Seigneury with ten cities on it will become CROWN land. Kahnawake is not a reserve. Not CROWN land. They want us outside of the Seigneury where we have no Ongwehonwe interest.
We want everything granted to the British according the Two Row from 1701 that they accepted. This includes all of Ontario and everything West in what they now call Canada. it’s time for Britain to come to the table again with the Ongwehonwe to create a new wampum belt of reconiliation with us.
That's right! You ain't taking anything!
Everyone in the world knows it’s ours. The traitors among us are ready to make a deal. They are the cancer within. They have left our canoe and put themselves in the white man’s vessel. Te ho na ton ko ton. They have left the circle of the ongwehonwe and immersed themselves totally in the ways of the colonizers. They are no longer Ongwehonwe. They abandoned their mother and family.
When the meeting got hot, a disrupter, known in blogland as the “troll”, would rise up to deflect the conversation. Their lawyer approached me and said, “We were counting on your not showing up, because of your advanced age”.
Kahnawake will always be under the Kaianerekowa, not part of Canada. No filthy pipeline will ever come through here. We are Kahnawake! Kahnawake is us! We will never leave. We will always defend it. As Tom Jones reminds: “Yes, they’ll all come to see me in the shade of that old oak tree, as they lay me ‘neath the green green grass of home”.
