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.

Rare Photos of Cops who Shot Navajo Marcus Mitchell in the Eye at Standing Rock

These rare photos reveal the resistance to the Dakota Access Pipeline on the night of January 18, 2017, when Marcus Mitchell, Dine'/Navajo, was shot and blinded in his left eye by law enforcement. Justice was denied Mitchell by a North Dakota judge. Now, Mitchell's civil rights lawsuit revealing excessive force by law enforcement will be heard before the Eighth Circuit Court of Appeals Court will hear Mitchell's case during December. Mitchell was peacefully protesting the pipeline and defending sacred water of the Missouri River, the source of water for millions.

"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.

Leonard Peltier on the National Day of Mourning,  'They Want to be the Super Race and Control the World'

By Brenda Norrell, Censored News, Nov. 27, 2025

TURTLE MOUNTAIN CHIPPEWA NATION -- Speaking on the National Day of Mourning known as "Thanksgiving," freed political prisoner Leonard Peltier said Native people want the massacres of their people to be known.

Peltier said it is already happening again, as can be seen in the deaths of children in Palestine and the Ukraine and what they are trying to do in Iran.

"They're killing thousands and thousands of babies and young children and destroying homes.  And this is the same thing they did to us. This is why we got a day of mourning," Peltier said from his home on the Turtle Mountain Chippewa Nation.

"We've got to fight to expose these atrocities, it is not over. It's not over for us or it's not over for the rest of the world -- because once they get done with Iran and Palestine and Ukraine, they're going to move to another area."

"They want to be the super race. They want to control the whole world. And we can't let them do that. We won't let them do that," Peltier said in a video address to the National Day of Mourning.

In a separate written statement to the Day of Mourning, Peltier said, "Every day has been a Day of Mourning for a few centuries now."

"Every day has also been a victory. Every one of us is a battle that has been won."

"Our ancestors have survived the slaughter of those who sought to end us. The Trail of Tears. The Wounded Knee Massacre. The endless brutal attacks. The corrupt Washington policy meant to erase us."
