MONTREAL -- 'The serpents are trying to return," said Kahnetinetha, Mohawk. The search continues for their children who were murdered in residential schools and victims of the torture experiments at McGill University's hospital.
While the slick-talking politicians are among the serpents, the Peacemaker's Way of the Great Peace shows the way to Peace.
Speaking to law students at McGill University about the failing governments in the west, the collapsing economies and increased militarization, Kahentinetha points out, "The masks are coming off."
Speaking about artificial intelligence, she said, "They want to replace us with sub-humans."
There is healing through ceremonies, she said, and speaks on the effects of fear.
"We are the oldest living democracy on the planet."
"We ask for you to stand with us," she said, of the protection and caring for Mother Earth.
"We have been victims of genocide, but we are still here."
The Mohawk Mothers and supporters on the panel describe the search for graves of Native children who were victims of the U.S. CIA's MK-Ultra torture and drug experiments at McGill University's hospital.

"We want the Palestinian people to know that we stand with them." -- Leonard Peltier
ALCATRAZ ISLAND -- Leonard Peltier told the gathering at Alcatraz today that it is time to stop the killing of babies in Palestine. Peltier, speaking in a recorded statement from his home, said he was denied a pass to attend the Commemoration of the Occupation of Alcatraz today.
Calling for an end to the killing in Palestine, he said, "This is the same thing they did to us."
Peltier said women, children, babies, and unborn babies are being killed. "Everyday they are killing them, they are murdering them."
"We have to stand up and scream," he said, with the reminder that it was Biden who started this.

LAS VEGAS, Nevada -- The radioactive uranium mill and dump has been poisoning the White Mesa Ute community for 40 years in southeastern Utah.
Now, the radioactive uranium haul trucks travel from the Havasupai's ancestral land in the Grand Canyon, from the Pinyon Plain uranium mine to the White Mesa mill, and endanger everyone on the haul route in Flagstaff and the Navajo and Hopi Nations. The deadly trucks are covered only with tarps.

Honoring the True History of the Occupation of Alcatraz
By Brenda Norrell, Censored News, Nov. 19, 2025
Today, we are honoring the true history of the Occupation of Alcatraz. The tipi was brought here by Robert Free of Seattle, during the early days of the Occupation in 1969.
"The tipi was put up early during the Occupation of Alcatraz Island. It remained there until the U.S. government Marshals and the FBI removed everyone 19 months later," Robert told Censored News in an interview in 2019.
"It was a place most all visitors came to rest and enjoy. It had a sweat lodge, used as needed."
Remembering those times that are now a part of history, he said, "It was the only place on the island where prisoners were allowed to grow flowers and gardens, next to a cliff with seals at the bottom."
