Mohawk Nation News 'I Want a Country'
“I WANT A COUNTRY”
MNN. Apr. 3, 2014. Quebecois separatist candidate, Pierre Karl Peladeau, declares, “I want a country “. He wants total power first as a cabinet minister, then as premier and then king of his dynasty. He is launching a hostile corporate takeover of Quebec Inc. Peladeau wants a country.
Mohawk Warriors: “Mr. Peladeau, we heard you want our country!”
He became a billionaire from stealing and selling our newsprint worldwide. Now he is a media baron. He’s ready to declare war on the sovereign Mohawk Nation on whose land he squats. He has to answer to the Mohawks about our unsurrendered land and resources. This is an international issue.
Pauline Marois promises when she is re-elected as Premier of Quebec Inc. she will make the Charter of Values even stronger. She can decide that everyone should shave their heads or eat poutine three times a day. Whatever!
Peladeau threatened to pass a law disqualifying himself from putting his Quebecor Inc. assets in trust. As Neo was told in the “Matrix’.
He punches his fist in the air and shouts in French. They promise to rewrite history. Indigenous will be almost non-existent. Who are those bronze people whose skin color the Quebecois like to emulate in their tanning parlors? Where will their cheap cigarettes come from? Will Quebec, an Algonquin word, have to be renamed? Quebecois will pledge to speak only French until the day they die. They will be taught that they won the French and Indian wars! That they brought all the Indigenous land and resources with them from Europe!
The Nazis are trying to take over Quebec like they did in Ukraine. Only French will be spoken. What is going on in Quebec is the exact same m.o. in Ukraine, except with a Canadian flavor. Many separatists are already in major positions ready to run the show. Quebecois with help from outsiders are being organized to intimidate, attack and create conflict. Same old, divide and conquer.
Mr. Peladeau’s friends are ready to help because they think they can get the booty on the stolen Indigenous natural resources. They will not. We don’t deal in what if! They’re talking what ifs! They will never make more fake borders on our land. We Ongwehonwe will take our rightful seat at the table of nations. The rest of the world is waiting for this balance of the natural law to happen.
Pauline, be careful what you wish for!
As Led Zeppelin sang and Pauline better listen, “Always the same, playing your game, drive me insane, trouble is going to come to you. One of these days, and it won’t be long, you’ll look for me and I’ll be gone. Your time is gonna come. That’s all I gotta say to you, woman, your time is gonna come. “ Led Zepellin. “Your time is gonna come”.

WIND RIVER RESERVATION, Wyoming—A new push by U.S. Sen. Mike Enzi, R-Wyo., to
terminate a portion of the Wind River Reservation should appall and worry Native
American people everywhere, Northern Arapaho leaders said Tuesday.
Draft legislation by Enzi, and supported by Sen. John Barrasso, R-Wyo., would eliminate
the reservation status of a significant portion of Northern Arapaho and Eastern Shoshone
homeland in central Wyoming.
“It's chilling to see this kind of attack on Indian Country in 2014,” said Northern Arapaho
Business Council Chairman Darrell O'Neal.

homeland in central Wyoming.
“It's chilling to see this kind of attack on Indian Country in 2014,” said Northern Arapaho
Business Council Chairman Darrell O'Neal.
The bill is a response to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s decision to treat the
Wind River tribes as a state under the Clean Air Act. A detailed legal analysis in the EPA
decision concluded that the town of Riverton is part of the Wind River Reservation, a
position the tribes have always held.
Wyoming Gov. Matt Mead has asked the federal courts to determine whether the EPA
analysis is correct. Enzi has decided instead to change the law.
In doing so, Enzi has turned his back on his approximately 15,000 tribal constituents in
Wyoming, Northern Arapaho leaders said.
Northern Arapaho leaders traveled to Washington, D.C., last week to confront members
of the Wyoming’s delegation about the bill and their opposition to the tribes’ treatment as
a state application.
“We asked them to reconsider, to open their minds and work with us in good faith,” said
Councilman Al Addison, “but they were not interested.”
As a result, tribal leaders made a call Tuesday for support and prayers from Native
American people and governments everywhere. Tribal people must work together to
prevent the loss of any more of our precious homelands, Chairman O'Neal said.
“If the Wyoming Delegation can do this to us, they can do it to any tribe in the nation,”
O'Neal added.
Enzi was part of a similar anti-sovereignty campaign during the Northern Arapaho
Tribe’s successful effort to secure gaming more than a decade ago. Once again, Enzi has
demonstrated he is no friend of the tribes, tribal leaders said.
“We've seen these kinds of tactics from Senator Enzi before,” said Northern Arapaho
Business Council Co-Chairman Ronald Oldman. “They didn't work in our gaming case,
and they won't work here.”

RESERVE DE WIND RIVER, Wyoming – Une nouvelle pression exercée par le Sénateur Républicain du Wyoming Mike Enzi pour soustraire une portion de la Réserve de Wind River devrait consterner et inquiéter les Autochtones de partout, ont déclaré ce mardi les dirigeants Arapaho du Nord.
Un projet de loi présenté par Enzi et soutenu par le Sénateur John Barrasso, Républicain du Wyoming également, éliminerait une portion non négligeable du territoire Arapaho du Nord et Shoshone de l’Est, dans le centre du Wyoming, du statut de Réserve.
« Çà fait froid dans le dos de voir ce genre d’attaque contre le Pays Indien en 2014 » dit le Président du Conseil Commercial Arapaho du Nord, Darrell O’ Neal.
Le projet de loi est une réaction à la décision de l’Agence de Protection de l’Environnement des Etats-Unis de traiter les tribus de Wind River comme un état placé sous la Loi sur l’Air Pur. Une analyse légale détaillée présentée dans la décision de l’Agence de Protection de l’Environnement conclut que la ville de Riverton fait partie de la Réserve de Wind River, une position que les tribus ont toujours défendue.
Le Gouverneur du Wyoming Matt Mead a demandé à des tribunaux fédéraux de déterminer si l’analyse de l’Agence de Protection de l’Environnement était correcte. Enzi a décidé, au lieu de cela, de changer la loi.
En faisant cela, Enzi a tourné le dos a environs 15000 de ses administrés tribaux dans le Wyoming, disent les dirigeants Arapaho du Nord.
Les dirigeants Arapaho du nord ont fait le voyage à Washington D.C. la semaine dernière pour affronter des membres de la délégation du Wyoming sur le projet de loi et leur opposition à ce que les tribus soient traitées comme un état dans l’application de la loi.
« Nous leur avons demandé de reconsidérer leur position, de faire preuve d’ouverture d’esprit et de travailler avec nous de bonne foi », dit le membre du Conseil Al Addison, « mais ils n’étaient pas intéressés ».
En conséquence, les dirigeants tribaux ont lancé mardi un appel à les soutenir et à organiser des prières à tous les Amérindiens et leurs gouvernements où qu’ils soient. Les peuples tribaux doivent travailler ensemble pour empêcher la perte de davantage de nos précieux territoires, dit le Président O’ Neal. « Si la Délégation du Wyoming peut nous faire cela, ils peuvent le faire à n’importe quelle tribu du pays » a-t-il ajouté.
Enzi participé à une campagne anti-souveraineté similaire lorsque la Tribu Arapaho du Nord s’est assurée avec succès de la gestion des jeux, il y a plus de dix ans. Une fois de plus, Enzi a démontré qu’il n’était pas l’ami des tribus, disent les dirigeants tribaux.
« Nous avons déjà vu ce genre de tactique de la part du Sénateur Enzi » dit le co-président du Conseil Commercial Arapaho du Nord, Ronald Oldman. « Çà n’a pas marché dans l’affaire des jeux et çà ne marchera pas dans ce cas non plus ».

Northern Arapaho leiders roepen alle stammen op om wetsvoorstel te dwarsbomen

Nederlands: A.Holemans NAIS- Gazette
Wind River Reservaat, Wyoming
“Een nieuwe ‘push’ door US Senator Mike Enzi,R-Wyo, om een deel van het Wind River reservaat uit te schakelen moet afschuw en bezorgdheid opwekken bij alle Amerikaanse Indianen”,aldus the Norhern Arapaho leiders.
Het wetsontwerp van Enzi, gesteund door Senator John Barrasso, R-Wyo., wil de reservaat- status van een belangrijk deel van Norhern Arapaho en Eastern Shoshone thuisland in Wyoming uitschakelen.
“ Het is eng om deze soort aanval op indiaans land mee te maken” zei Norhern Araphao Business Council Chairman Darrell O’Neil.
Het wetsontwerp is een antwoord op de beslissing van het US Environmental Protection Agency om de Wind River stammen als een staat onder de Clean Air Act te behandelen.
Een gedetailleerde en wettelijke analyse in het besluit van de EPA stelde dat de stad van Riverton deel uitmaakt van het Wind River reservaat, een positie die de stammen altijd al gehad hebben.
Gov.Matt Mead van Wyoming had het federaal gerechtshof gevraagd om de EPA analyse te bevestigen. Enzi besloot dan maar de wet te veranderen.
Met deze daad heeft hij duidelijk ze rug gekeerd naar de ongeveer 15.000 tribale kiezers in Wyoming, zeggen de Northern Arapaho leiders.
De leiders zijn verleden week naar Washington DC getrokken om leden van de Wyoming delegatie te confronteren over het wetsontwerp .
“ Wij hebben hen gevraagd om opnieuw te willen overwegen, hun geest open te zetten en om met ons samen in vertrouwen te werken,” zei raadsman Al Addison,” maar zij hadden geen interesse”.
Daarom hebben tribale leiders de Native Amerikanen en overheden van overal opgeroepen om hen te steunen.
De stammen moeten samenwerken om te voorkomen dat we nog meer van onze kostbare thuislanden zullen verliezen, zegt Chairman O’Neil.
“ Als de Wyoming delegatie dit kan doen, dan kan dat met iedere stam gebeuren,” voegde hij er nog aan toe.
Enzi maakte, meer dan 10 jaar geleden, deel uit van een dergelijke anti- soevereiniteit campagne.
En nu heeft hij opnieuw duidelijk gemaakt dat hij geen vriend is van de stammen, zeggen de stamleiders.
“ Wij hebben van Senator Enzi al meer van dat soort tactieken gezien," zegt Ronald Oldman, Co-Chairman van Norhern Arapaho Business Council

John Kane, Mohawk 'Stirring the Ashes'
Stirring the Ashes
By John Karhiio Kane, Mohawk
One of the biggest challenges for any people is broad participation in the issues that affect everyone. And when you stop and think about it, there is very little from the smallest ripples in a family to major calamities in a community that occurs without impacting others.
The notion of "mind your own business" or "let someone else handle it" has become commonplace in many cultures. As we observe the flaws of some of these other cultures and societies there are those among us that would like to think the Haudenosaunee lived in a utopian society where conflict and controversy could never find a home. We speak of "the good mind" as though our ancestors never had bad thoughts.
