Mohawk Mothers at Supreme Court: The Power to Protect the Children, Their Graves and Those Yet Born
OTTAWA -- "We wish we had seen our children who were taken from us, we wanted to see them grow up among us, but we couldn't, because we never saw them again," Kahentinetha said in front of Canada's Supreme Court.
Mohawk Mothers, Kanien’keha:ka Kahnistensera, filed a motion at the Supreme Court of Canada on Oct. 15, requesting a panel of experts to oversee and protect the graves at McGill University in Montreal.
"We have the right and responsibility to represent ourselves to the best of our ability," Kahentinetha said holding the Two Row, which represents the power they have been given to protect the children and the Earth. Kahentinetha said they are speaking to Canada, as a sovereign nation, as Nation to Nation.
The Allan Memorial Institute at McGill University's hospital was the site of the CIA's MK-Ultra mind control and torture experiments. A survivor of torture in her teens said that she saw Native children here, who vanished. She also saw the staff digging graves out back at night with red shovels.

"Genocide of murdering children is one of the worst things imaginable. Yet it continues to be done with total impunity."
Speaking on white supremacy and genocide, Kwetiio said her people were used as test subjects in experiments. McGill University and the Canadian military, and their allies, sent in anthropologists and sociologists to study them in Kahnawake, and put their minds under a microscope in an attempt to break them, so they would forget their ways, their ceremonies. The elders told them, "Don't let them take your mind."
"They wanted to find a way to break us, and break the code of our resistance."
Kwetiio said that on the grounds of the Royal Victoria Hospital, early in the search, the search dogs alerted them to a woman's dress and a child's shoe from the first half of the Twentieth Century, and tons of bones.

“I support this application, this Leave to Appeal,” Murray said. “It’s of national importance. We do not have a national law to protect the burial grounds of Indigenous ancestors. We do not have proper provincial territorial laws to protect the burial grounds of our ancestors.”
Murray pointed out that Mohawk Mothers represented themselves using Haudenosaunee law, the Great Law, and it was accepted in Canada's court.
"Words are powerful."
The Mohawk Mothers, also known as the Kanien’kehá:ka Kahnistensera, have filed a motion in Ottawa with the Supreme Court of Canada, seeking an independent investigation into possible unmarked graves at the site of the former Royal Victoria Hospital site.
The area is currently being excavated for a redevelopment project known as the New Vic, which will be the site of a new teaching hospital as part of McGill University.
“Today, we stand in front of the Supreme Court of Canada facing a political violation by the people of Canada that we wish to bring to justice,” said Kahentinetha, one of the Mothers.
She and Kwetiio, also a member of the group, were joined by Kimberly Murray, the independent special interlocutor for missing children and unmarked graves associated with Indian Residential Schools.
"CIA documents suggest that they investigated "chemical, biological, and radiological" methods of mind control as part of MKUltra.[47] They spent an estimated $10 million or more, roughly $87.5 million adjusted for inflation.[48]"
"During a hearing by the Senate Health Subcommittee, a testimony by the Deputy Director of the CIA stated that over 30 institutions and universities were involved in the experimentation program of testing drugs on unknowing citizens "at all social levels, high and low, native Americans and foreign." Several of these tests involved the issuing of LSD to unaware subjects in social situations.[1]"

"Words are powerful."
Canada's story wants to erase an entire people.
"Our story not only has a future, but it goes on without ending. This is because we have a responsibility to those yet born that life will go on, and to leave the Earth in a better shape than we found her," said Dallas Canady-Binette, Kanehsata’kehró:non Karonhianóron, archaeology student at McGill and archaeological monitor at the site.
“I know no other archaeologists that have had the police called on them in the middle of doing their job. I can think of no other field site that looks and operates like an open-air prison."
“Perhaps it was naive of me to believe that my university, and the province of Quebec, would agree that protecting the unmarked graves of Indigenous children was more important than a campus redevelopment project.”

MK Ultra
"Project MKUltra[a] was a human experimentation program designed and undertaken by the U.S. Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) to develop procedures and identify drugs that could be used during interrogations to weaken individuals and force confessions through brainwashing and psychological torture.[1] The term MKUltra is a CIA cryptonym: "MK" is an arbitrary prefix standing for the Office of Technical Service and "Ultra" is an arbitrary word out of a dictionary to denominate this project.
"Project MKUltra began in 1953 and was halted in 1973. MKUltra used numerous methods to manipulate its subjects' mental states and brain functions, such as the covert administration of high doses of psychoactive drugs (especially LSD) and other chemicals without the subjects' consent. Additionally, other methods beyond chemical compounds were used, including electroshocks,[2] hypnosis,[3][4] sensory deprivation, isolation, verbal and sexual abuse, and other forms of torture.[5][6]"
Origin of the project
"During the early 1940s, Nazi scientists working in the concentration camps of Auschwitz and Dachau conducted interrogation experiments on human subjects. Substances such as barbiturates, morphine derivatives, and hallucinogens such as mescaline were employed in experiments conducted on Polish, Czech, Jewish, Soviet and other nationalities' prisoners of war.[19] They aimed to develop a truth serum which would, in the words of one laboratory assistant to Dachau scientist Kurt Plötner, "eliminate the will of the person examined".[19] American historian Stephen Kinzer argues that the CIA project was a "continuation" of these earlier Nazi experiments, citing the numerous German scientists who were hired to work for the U.S. as part of Operation Paperclip.[20]"
"American interest in drug-related interrogation experiments began in 1943, when the Office of Strategic Services began developing a "truth drug" that would produce "uninhibited truthfulness" in an interrogated person.[21][22] In 1947, the United States Navy initiated Project CHATTER, an interrogation program which saw the first testing of LSD on human subjects.[23][24]"
