MNN. JULY 14, 2017. There are thousands of communities of onkwe-hon-weh, true natural people, throughout the western hemisphere. It is all our land. It is being eyed by the land thieves to our stolen property.
We are painted as savages and terrorists living on properties we don’t develop or use. The colonial settlers want to remove or murder us to get us out of the way for greater profits.
JT STOKING THE FLAMES OF MOHAWK GRIEVANCES.
All true life on our immemorial land represents our heritage. Creation designated our land for us, our unborn and all of nature. we accepted the great peace first and we agreed to spread it throughout the world. 
HAVE A GOOD TRIP. ONEN-KI-WAHI … KOWA!
Twenty-seven years ago we saw how far the enemy would go to take our land. They wanted to know how much resistance they would face in this real estate development deal. 
MOHAWKS: “WHAT THE HEY! YOU GUYS BACK IN TOWN AGAIN!”
The test was at kanehsatake/Oka. Canada surmised they could stop this uprising with their military tactics. They saw that we would never surrender. Ono-ware-keh can never be stolen. It is under an illegal occupation. We have never given up one inch of it ever. 
Ellen Gabriel of Kanehsatake brilliantly explained that Canada is scared of Quebec, that more politicians and land grabbers have Separatist leanings. They intend to fraudulently steal every inch of our land and leave us landless. The French Canadians can only separate from their English corporate body politic, not from us and our land. Trudeau supports Quebec separatism as they elected him.
STILL BEATING THE ILLUSIONARY DISTANT DRUM.
All original true people of turtle island will stand together under the constitution of peace. All Six Nations and allies are ready to perform our duties according to our law. 
We will resist the war mongers. As John Trudel said, “We are not militant because we did not invent the gun to kill people… Corporate law is used like a bullet to destroy us”. 
As Corey Hart sings: “Just a little more time is all we’re asking for, cause just a little more time could open closing doors. Just a little uncertainty can bring you down. And nobody wants to know you now. And nobody wants to show you how. So if you’re lost and on your own, you can never surrender. If your path won’t lead you home, you can never surrender. When the night is cold and dark, you can see the light, cause no one can take away your right to fight and never surrender.”

Mohawk Nation News 'It's Criminal. There Oughta' be a Law.'



IT’S CRIMINAL. THERE OUGHTA’ BE A LAW.

MNN. July 12, 2017. The conflict continues at kanesatake. The mayor of Oka and his partners want to build 400 homes for strangers right next to the Pines and the Mohawk burial grounds. A 76-day resistance took place in 1990 at this site referred to as the Mohawk Crisis.

Canada sent in the combined forces of the Canadian army, RCMP and Quebec Police. This international land issue got worldwide attention. The banks, corporation and real estate developers always coveted the beautiful onkwe-hon-weh land on the Lake of Two Mountains and its mineral resources.

The colonial settlers refer to the Mohawk Nation as a “special interest” group. Canada refuses to protect the lands and culture of the true original people of ono-ware-keh, great turtle island. kaia-nere-kowa, the constitution of the great peace, provides that the people shall resist theft, genocide and desecration of mother earth.


STAY CALM. WE’RE HERE TO HELP YOU UNDERSTAND.

According to the original instructions, all onkwe-hon-weh have the duty to protect the great mother and all life. 

As Bon Scott of AC-DC laments, “It’s criminal. There ought to be a law. Criminal. There ought to be a whole lot more. You get nothing for nothing. Tell me who can you trust? We Got what you want and you got the lust. If you want blood, you got it…”

Tensions rise as Mohawk activists square off with Oka mayor over development

Standing Rock -- the water protectors and their camps -- are the future.
Why? Because this Native led movement resisted, without compromise, to the extent that a militarized army of police were summoned to batter them.
But even these forces could not break their spirits.
If the world had not been watching, there is no doubt that the police would have been even more violent to women, children and elderly.
One exposure should provide clarity to the world. It comes by way of a leak to The Intercept.
The ridiculous security reports of TigerSwan mercenaries at Standing Rock were the basis of the coordinated massive police buildup, and their tanks and weapons of war.
This manufactured intelligence is the same profit-driven hyperbole that results in the U.S. initiating and justifying its bogus wars. 
Don't be fooled by the current pause.
Standing Rock was a seed in fertile ground.
The earth gives birth to this resistance.
