INDIGENOUS PROCLAMATION: National Day of Action – Oct. 25/26 2026 – OTTAWA

SUSSEX DRIVE, ROUTHER COMCENTER, 172 GUIGES AVE. OTTAWA, ONT. 

I am kahentinetha, Bear Clan, of Kahnawake Mohawk Territory, a sovereign originalperson and caregiver of onowarekeh great turtle island, from ocean to ocean, pole to pole. Ever since the intruders on turtle island, they systematically attempted to take all of turtle island and get rid of us.  Today they are facing a double standard. First, the intruders who call themselves ‘Canadiens’ [Canada] are screaming and hollering at the corporation of the United States of America which now wants to usurp our motherland and turn it into the “51st state” of the Union. Both the US and Canada are squatters on great turtle island. On October 25 and 26, 2026, in Ottawa the Canadian government, AFN, and the ten provinces are meeting to execute the “Final Grand Theft of turtle island” Plan.
