Mohawk Nation News 'Baby Indian Act'

mnnlogo1BABY INDIAN ACT




MNN. May 15, 2013. Baby Indian Act was hatched in 1876 in the parking lot by Parliament Hill in Ottawa. It was the birth of a monster whose job was to “Go out and finish off the Indians”. It was the foundation of the NAZI holocaust and the South African apartheid regime. It’s the “iron fist” to justify the immoral “manifest destiny” to occupy our land by force. The crime that breaks down the rule of law is genocide, when a military power occupies the territory of a foreign nation. Baby Indian Act’s job was to fill mass graves with Indigenous and break the spirit of the survivors or anyone who resisted them.
