Breaking news, article in progress

GENEVA -- Deskaheh Steve Jacobs provided the opening prayer but said he will not address the United  Nations until the Haudenosaunee is recognized as a government. Jacob's prayer began the United Nations Expert Mechanism on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples this week in Geneva, with weeklong global testimony focused on militarization, protecting the sacred, and violations of human rights.

Earlier this week, the City of Geneva installed 30 large double-sided photo panels along Lake Geneva telling the story of Deskaheh's journey and the development of relations between the City of Geneva and Indigenous Peoples worldwide.

Deskaheh – Levi General, is considered the first Indigenous Person to have raised the issue of loss of autonomy and dispossession of First Nations – Indigenous peoples by colonizing states at the international level. https://www.indiantime.net/story/2023/07/20/news/haudenosaunee-delegation-in-geneva-for-100th-anniversary-of-deskahehs-arrival/42727.html

"In 1923 Deskaheh, Chief of the Iroquois League, representing the Six Nations of the Iroquois Confederacy, leaves Canada to go on a mission to Geneva, Switzerland. He hopes to attend the League of Nations (now the United Nations) in order to have it recognize the sovereignty of the Iroquois.
