Mohawk Nation News 'Who Owes Who? Indian Trust Funds'
MNN: WHO OWES WHO? INDIAN TRUST FUNDS

MNN. Jan. 22, 2013. All the money to run the Corporation of Canada comes from interest on the Indian Trust Fund. This revenue comes from exploitation of our land and resources.
In 1907 Canada declared us as non-persons so they could control our money, lives and future. They gave themselves power of attorney without our permission. According to the Trust Fund Management System, the Indian Affairs Minister can manage our money as if he was our parent. He can collect, receive, hold it, decide how to manage and spend it without our knowledge or consent.

Indian Affairs suspense accounts are from businesses run on our behalf by the Corporation of Canada. Public Accounts of Canada monies cannot be disbursed or given to us.
The Environmental Studies Research Fund Accounts belong to us. Special Accounts are individual and band accounts which we never see.
Not included are the vast royalties from deals between the provinces and multinational corporations for our natural resources. The following table shows what Indian Affairs admits to taking and distributing to each province. They answer only to the bankers.
Payouts to provinces of oil, gas, royalties, rents & bonuses.
We will put in place a fair distribution system for our people to take control of our land and resources.
Sir William Johnson, King George’s representative in North America, told him that the Iroquois were not his subjects. “Any man who dared tell us we are subjects of a foreign power, no sooner were those words spoken would his throat be split. You better have a good army at your back if you make that claim. We are slaves to no one.”

As Mick Jagger sang: “Just as every cop is a criminal, and all the sinners saints. As heads is tails, just call me Lucifer. I’m in need of some restraint.” Misdirection, confusion, greed, will all be cast down.

ANCHORAGE -- A
group of concerned global citizens, indigenous peoples and Yup'ik
fisherpeoples are demonstrating opposition to the proposed Donlin
Gold mine in the Kuskokwim watershed at the Donlin Gold Environmental
Impact Statement public meeting in Anchorage, Alaska. The groups
have concerns about one of the worlds largest proposed mega-gold
mines that has a footprint that extends into the Alaska marine
transportation corridor. The proposed mine's impacts will result in
permanent changes to the Kuskokiwm River's Yup'ik peoples' cultural
survival, subsistence resources, and health. This mine brings
enormous cost to fish, wildlife, peoples and habitat with the massive
amount of contaminants; such as mercury, arsenic and selenium, that
are to be permanently leached into the Kuskokwim watershed.
Barrick Gold has a history of contaminating peoples' water supply on a global scale and Nova Gold
has a history of mishaps in Alaska including the complete failure of
the Rock Creek mine in Nome, Alaska, in which 'streamlined permitting'
killed 2 workers and resulted in terrible planning for the water balance
of the mining operation.
The
groups would like to ensure there are comprehensive studies to
address the transportation and storage of extremely toxic elements
and compounds, like mercury; as well as addressing the risks and
threats to communities along all of Alaska's coastline along the
transportation routes. Donlin Gold's proposal does not have existing
baseline science to determine the comprehensive mercury risk from
"cradle to grave" on the health of the people and environment,
considering the multitude of pathways that mercury bio-accumulates in
the human body.
Acid
Mine Drainage (AMD) is a major concern of these groups in the
proposed Donlin Gold mine. AMD can cause severe health,
reproductive and developmental impacts to living organisms; including
humans. Some of these concerns have been discussed extensively in
the EPA's draft Bristol Bay Watershed Assessment with the Pebble
Mine.
The
groups are calling on Anchorage and Southcentral Alaska residents to
get involved in this Donlin Gold EIS to ensure baseline science and
gas supply feasibility studies are included for the proposed 313-mile
14-inch gas pipeline from Cook Inlet to the middle of a Kuskokwim
wilderness area with no infrastructure and declining supplies of
natural gas in Cook Inlet.
