WASHINGTON -- Tohono O'odham Nation Chairman Ned Norris, Jr., testified before a Congressional committee and described the agony of knowing that as he testified, the Trump administration was blowing up a burial place of his ancestors for the border wall.
"It's hard to see the blasting you showed on the video today because I know in my heart and what our elders have told us and what we have learned that that area was home to our ancestors," said Norris, choking up. "Blasting and doing what we saw today has totally disturbed, totally forever damaged our people."
We are seeing many pre-emptive and presumptive news reports, erroneously confirming that we have come to an agreement with the RCMP and the state. Before talks had even begun, mainstream and right wing media was reporting an end to the discussion, seeking to quell dissent and silence support for our position.
We confirm that discussions have begun today, but the terms of the discussions have yet to be determined and agreed upon.
We have not yet received, as a gesture of respect from the RCMP, the written confirmation that our demands will be met and upheld while discussions are ongoing, nor that discussions will continue after February 28th.
Please stand by and watch our pages and that of Unist'ot'en Camp for progress and updates. We thank you for your continued solidarity and support in this pivotal and stressful time.
Bomb threat made against Wet'suwet'en and Tyendinaga Mohawks as far-right escalates talks of violence
By Erin Seattler
Ricochet media
A bomb threat made against the Wet’suwet’en and Tyendinaga Mohawks comes during escalating discussions of violence among Canada’s far-right, whose latest obsession is the non-violent Indigenous sovereignty movement that has dominated headlines for weeks.
“You and your punk friends, the Mohawk warriors, need to call off the blockades,” reads an email sent on Feb. 26 to addresses associated with the Wet’suwet’en and Tyendinaga township.
“If you don’t, you will find a bomb in your mailbox, and your parents will be in danger.
“This is a threat, you are on notice.”
The email address used to send the threat is linked to a recently suspended Twitter account, according to Anti-Racist Canada, a collective that tracks hate and extremism.
Tyendinaga Mohawks re-established camp after the police raid, put up a big tent, and now welcome others out to Wyman Road.

"These camps are not going anywhere, they are just getting bigger."
"This is one of the most serious blockade tents I've ever seen."
"There's not a lot of trains going by, don't believe the hype."
"Nothing is over."
"Camp is still here," said the broadcaster from the Wyman Road Camp, where RCMP raided on Monday.

It’s takes village to stop a genocide — Mohawks set up giant tent
Real Peoples Media, Wednesday night, Feb. 26, 2020
Real Peoples Media 6 hrs ·
Even as a train rolled by last night, Mohawks gathered in a harsh rainstorm to put up a massive series of tents to house people on Wyman Rd. The people are building infrastructure and capacity for those willing to stand up against RCMP and OPP bullying on unceded indigenous lands.
Supporters of the Wet’suwet’en and Mohawks are invited to come and join the camp. Bring your own tents, plan to stay a while, follow the direction of camp organizers, bring what you need to support yourselves, and come be a part of history.
MNN. 27 Feb. 2020. Canada was made with the “last spike” of the illegal railroad paid for by the stolen “indian trust fund”. For every mile of track across Canada is a dead “indian”. In the front car was the army with gatling guns. That is why the private CN and CP rail companies never made a treaty with the original people of BC.
Punched, thrown on the ground and choked by police on Tyendinaga land, Mohawk Land Defender Nick Kolbasook describes the OPP attack at Wyman's Road in Tyendinaga
By Brenda Norrell Censored News Nick Kolbasook, Akwesasne Mohawk, said Tyendinaga Mohawk asked for help as they made their stand in solidarity with Wet'suwet'en and it was his responsibility to help. When the Ontario Provincial Police attacked the Tyendinaga alongside the rail tracks on Monday, he said, "I wasn't resisting." Nick describes in this video how five police grabbed him, and two began punching him. Then they threw him on the ground. "Two of them started punching me." "They piled on me, drove me to the ground," he said, describing how they stepped on his arm. "They began kicking me in the face," he said adding that they kicked him in the head. "I got kicked in the face a lot." "One of them got down and started choking me." Nick was unable to breathe until the officer stopped choking him. Then he was arrested and stuffed into a dog cage. Nick said the police came on to Tyendinaga land and attacked the people. "This is all Mohawk territory." "They brutalized people and treated people like animals." "I love all my people. I love my land." "Our laws, our traditions were here before Canadian laws." Nick's message is for people to have more compassion and understanding, and to take on more responsibility. After the public viewed this video yesterday, there has been a widespread demand for felony assault charges to be filed against the Ottawa Provincial Police officers who committed this crime. Real Peoples Media said, "In this video Nick Kolbasook speaks about what happened to him when the OPP violently attacked Mohawk people who refused to let trains run through their lands. The Mohawks objected to Canada committing an act of genocide by using the RCMP to forcefully remove the Wet'suwet'en people from their lands in order to run a pipeline through their pristine lands."

This train did not slow down or stop for Tyendinaga Mohawks at Camp B on the tracks. "If the Warriors didn't move, they would have been hit," Real Peoples Media broadcaster said during the live stream at 11:50 a.m. "This could be seen as a major escalation." Fires of wooden pallets were burning on the tracks to halt trains, as well as one vehicle.
Tyendinaga Mohawk Standoff with Police Along the Rail Tracks: Fires on Tracks, Mohawk Warriors on Tracks, Train Did Not Slow Down or Stop
By Brenda Norrell Censored News Feb. 26, 2020 Updated Feb. 27
Mohawk Warriors were on the tracks at 11 a.m. today and a train did not stop as it came through the Tyendinaga Mohawk Camp B. Mohawks are standing in solidarity with the Hereditary Chiefs of Wet'suwet'en and their struggle to protect their land from Coastal GasLink pipeline in B.C.
The young Mohawks Warriors would have been killed just now if they had not jumped off the tracks at the last minute, as shown in live coverage here by Real Peoples Media.
"We're standing with them because of climate change," Mohawk Spitting Bear told Censored News just now.
"We have a right to self-determination on our own land. We can ensure biodiversity."
"The world realizes we have the right ideas on environment and forest controlled burns."
"Trudeau's action reflects his relationship with oil and gas. They own him. This is the real threat to humanity."
"Trudeau is fighting back by going after Native People. Using chemical weapons, with tear gas pointed," Spitting Bear said as Belleville Police along the rail tracks held tear gas and weapons pointed at the Tyendinaga Mohawk camp today.
"We manage our relationship with Mother Earth," Spitting Bear said.
Across Canada today, blockades are currently underway at borders, bridges, ports, highways and on the tracks, after Hereditary Chiefs were arrested on Monday and Tuesday at the Secwepemc and Gitxsan rail blockades in B.C.
On Monday, the Tyendinaga Mohawk camp was raided and 10 Warriors were arrested.

Quebec Premier makes inflammatory statement about weapons Meanwhile, the Premier of Quebec is making false statements about Mohawks having automatic weapons.
Kenneth Deer, a spokesperson for the protesters in Kahnawake, said Legault was making “false statements.”
“We are absolutely shocked and totally dismayed by the comments of Premier Legault,” Deer, secretary of the Mohawk Nation of Kahnawake, told Montreal Gazette.
“I think it’s highly irresponsible. We are totally and absolutely not armed and we don’t intend to be armed.”
Deer said the people of Kahnawake “are committed to a peaceful resolve and continue to support the Wet’suwet’en people in this struggle.”
The Mohawk Council of Kahnawake also denounced Legault’s statements.
“The Premier needs to be far more careful in his actions,” Ietsénhaienhs Kahsennenhawe Sky-Deer said in a statement. “Once certain statements are made, they often can’t be taken back. Using terms like “armed” and “AK-47’s” is extremely inflammatory and, in fact, dangerous. It could be interpreted as an intent to incite a response.” Speaking in French: "The Sûreté du Québec is slow to intervene to lift the blockade in Kahnawake since residents of the reserve have assault weapons," said Premier François Legault.
Arrests now number 127
Attorney Irinia Ceric said today that it appears that the total number of Wetsuweten Solidarity and 'Shutdown Canada' arrests is 127. This is not including the 29 arrests on #Wetsuweten territory during the enforcement of the CGL injunction. There were 16 arrests at two actions in late January.

Wetsuweten Hereditary Chief Na'moks says governments canceled meetings with the Hereditary Chiefs at around 4:30PM today. "We would not ask other nations and allies to step down so both Governments have walked away," he said. Na'moks said BC and Canada had asked us to ask other nations and allies to step down. "We can't do that ... We live in a free country, we can't do that." Na'moks said the Mohawks are free to make their own decisions.

LUKEVILLE, Ariz.— Activists will gather Wednesday morning near Monument Hill to protest the Trump administration’s blasting of a sacred mountain to build the border wall through Organ Pipe Cactus National Monument, a UNESCO biosphere reserve.
Customs and Border Protection scheduled a media event Wednesday, including detonations on the hill, at the same time that Tohono O’odham Chairman Ned Norris will testify at a congressional hearing about the administration’s destruction of sacred sites and cultural heritage.
“Blowing up sacred land is horrifying enough, but now the Trump administration will hold a dog-and-pony show to brag about it,” said Laiken Jordahl, borderlands campaigner at the Center for Biological Diversity. “It’s heartbreaking to watch them butcher this spectacular national monument and desecrate sacred indigenous lands. We’ll continue to fight Trump’s despicable border wall every step of the way .”
What: Protesters from environmental and indigenous groups will protest Trump’s border wall and destruction of Organ Pipe’s Monument Hill.
When: Wednesday, Feb. 26, at 10 a.m.
Where: Organ Pipe Cactus National Monument, base of Monument Hill, South Puerto Blanco Road
Media availability: Activists with the Center for Biological Diversity and Sierra Club and members of the Tohono O’odham Nation will be available for interviews.
Background
The Trump administration is blowing up Monument Hill in Organ Pipe National Monument, home to endangered species and Native American burial sites, to build the border wall. Contractors are extracting millions of gallons of groundwater to mix concrete for the wall, imperiling Quitobaquito Springs. This rare desert oasis is home to two endangered species, the Sonoyta mud turtle and Quitobaquito pupfish.
More than 100 miles of new border-wall construction are planned or underway across Arizona, paid for with funds Trump diverted from Defense Department budgets. To rush wall construction, Trump waived dozens of laws that protect public lands, cultural resources, sacred sites and endangered wildlife. The Center and allies have sued to challenge Trump’s emergency declaration, which is funding this construction. Blasted area at Monument Hill in Organ Pipe Cactus National Monument.

The Center for Biological Diversity is a national, nonprofit conservation organization with more than 1.7 million members and online activists dedicated to the protection of endangered species and wild places.
Statement on the Arrest of Documentary Filmmaker Melissa Cox
We are outraged by the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) decision to arrest our long-time colleague, journalist and filmmaker Melissa Cox, on the evening of February 24th 2020, at New Hazelton on unceded Gitxsan territory.
Ms. Cox has been documenting Wet’suwet’en land defenders’ efforts to resist Coastal GasLink’s pipeline project for nearly two months, filming for a documentary by the working title YINT’AH of which we are the producers, and filing video reports with other media outlets.
Laiken Jordahl, documenting the destruction on the Arizona border said, "In my dozens of visits to Organ Pipe since wall construction started, I've never seen a cactus being transplanted. Here's what's actually happening on the border."
O'odham Burial Place to be Blown Up as O'odham Chairman Testifies on Sacred Site Destruction on Wednesday
Tohono O'odham Chairman Ned Norris, Jr., will testify before a Congressional hearing on the destruction of sacred sites on Wednesday at 2 pm. On the same day, the United States will blow up Monument Hill on Organ Pipe Cactus National Monument, where O'odham burial remains were recently found.
U.S. Customs and Border Protection, with the Army Corps of Engineers, is planning to carry out the detonation of Monument Hill.
Currently, federal court cases have been unable to halt the destruction of sacred places, burial places and endangered species for the border wall construction here, near Ajo, Arizona.
Trump has waived all federal laws, including those that protect Native American burial places and endangered species to build the border wall.
Already, the border wall is viewed as a symbol of hate and racism. Besides this, it is ridiculous. An eight-year-old scaled a mock border wall in seconds. In California, a hole was cut out of the wall large enough to drive a truck through it.
In other places, flood gates are necessary at the bottom, which are kept open, providing an open door to anyone. Further, ladders have been used for easy access over the border wall.
The expensive border wall is being constructed at an incredible price to the pristine Sonoran Desert, the people, plants, animals, the water and the ancestors.
Laiken Jordahl, with the Center for Biological Diversity, has documented the destruction. There are endangered species found nowhere else in the world but here, in this special place in the Sonoran Desert. Quitobquito Spring is a sacred place for Tohono O'odham.
On Monday, Laiken said of the photo above, "A massive excavator just arrived at Quitobaquito Spring."
"It’s digging in the Roosevelt easement just south of the pond, in an area known to contain archeological resources. It’s the same area the O’odham chairman repeatedly requested not be disturbed."
"They’re excavating a literal stone’s throw from Quitobaquito pond—the only place in the world where the endangered Quitobaquito pupfish live. DHS waived all laws that protect endangered species, cultural resources and indigenous graves."
Laiken posted an alert today about the detonation and Congressional hearing.

URGENT CALL OUT: 15 RCMP vehicles along with CP Rail police are meeting in Chase, we are on the highway 5 km West of Chase, across the highway from Neskonlith hall. We are asking for all support to attend the Sacred Fire immediately.
The Secwepemc Sacred Fire was lit last night, February 24 at 8pm in solidarity with our Wet’suwet’en brothers and sisters.
From one fire place to another we are uniting to challenge the Canadian government to fulfill its promises and obligations to our Nations. We have lived too long without recognition and protection of our rights and title, of our pristine land and clean water. We have suffered for generations, our children taken from us, our forests cut down, our mountains mined, our homes destroyed, our People displaced. Canada has no deed to our lands, no right to exert the violent jurisdiction of resource extractive industry.
The RCMP and CGL must remove themselves from Wet’suwet’en Territory and they must do so immediately so that we may begin to reconcile our relationships with each other and with the land.
MNN. Feb. 25, 2020. The wetsuweten issue is political. CN stopped their own trains, not the natives. .
OUR DUTY IS TO MAKE A BETTER WORLD. HOW TO STOP THOSE WHO STOP AT NOTHING, BY NOT STOPPING, THROUGH THE POWER OF THE GREAT PEACE BASED ON THE GREAT NATURAL POWER. WE ARE EXPOSING THE TRUTH.
On Feb. 16 the prime Ministers office PMO announced, “Following the government’s ongoing efforts to address infrastructure disruptions across the country, the Prime Minister will convene on Feb. 17 tomorrow to discuss steps forward. Our priority remains the safety and security of all Canadians and the swift resolution of this issue. To restore service across the rail system in accordance with the law.” Rule of law is based upon the Jay Treaty of Trade & Commerce 1794, Article 3 [the achilles heel] exempts “Indians” and any settlers who chose to follow their law. The Government of Canada is the only one breaking international law. .
THE PREDATORS INVADE & MAKE THEIR OWN LAWS TO STEAL EVERYTHING FROM US AND OUR MOTHER. THEY DESIGNED CORPORATE BAND & TRIBAL COUNCILS TO HELP THEM STEAL THE TITLE TO OUR LAND AND TO EXTINGUISH THOSE OF US WHO ARE THE ONKWEHONWEH [INDIAN] INTEREST.
The Incident Response Group Division of A.R.T. Aboriginal Response Team are moibilized when the onkwehonweh rise up against the genocide. PM Trudeau, Deputy PM Freeland, Justice Lametti, Public Safety Bill Blair, Transport Marc Garneau. Marc Miller [Minister of Colonialism], Carolyn Bennett [Minister of Termination] to brief them on the Saturday Feb. 15 meeting in kentekeh. Attendees were sworn to secrecy. Everything to do with us is secret from orders coming from the ART/CSIS who are akin to the Gestapo in NAZI Germany. Chief Woos of wetsuweten phoned into the meeting.
Canada will collapse when the world sees who they truly are, a resource extraction company extorting indigenous people. The “rule of law” of onowarekeh turtle island is the kaianerekowa, the great peace. The Cana’jon rule Admiralty law to protect their stolen booty.
The Canadians cana’jon made us to watch our children die, our mother earth violently raped. To us people matter more than profit. Our duty is to save this planet. These enemies of life will be buried in our mother.
Those who refuse to pledge allegiance to the kaianerekowa are breaking tye law of the land.
The cana’jon made an oath to the Queen of England and the shareholders, the bankers in the City of London.
The invading predators ‘rule of law’ is designed to stop us from defending ourselves, which violates the kaianerekowa.
Canada is not a country. It has no land, culture and language [violates Montevideo Convention 1934.] The Framework Agreement designed by the corporations is to get another 20 years of unfettered resource extraction. Their corporate bodies make oaths of allegience to the queen of England. Trudeau wants to bring in 1 million more immigrants. The must apply to the onkwehonwehonweh. We will decide where they will live.
