SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. -- On Nov. 11, 2015, the Museum of Musical Instruments in Scottsdale is hosting a unique group of diverse contemporary and traditional music, featuring the R.Carlos Nakai Quartet and rock duo Sihasin, in concert. This special event honors Native American Heritage Month at the museum.

The R. Carlos Nakai Quartet features 10 times Grammy nominated Navajo Ute flutist R.Carlos Nakai. Mixing original compositions with inspired improvisations, RCNQ features R.

Special Report

Indigenous Community Police Look Back, Look Forward

By Frontera NorteSur
Published at Censored News with permission

Twenty years ago, a revolution in policing and community justice broke out in the southern Mexican state of Guerrero.  Fed up with constant robberies and sexual assaults, Indigenous communities in the Costa Rica and La Montana regions of Guerrero formed armed community police forces that grew into the Regional Coordinator of Community Authorities (CRAC).

Taking root in scores of Mixtec, Nahua and other communities, the CRAC was widely credited with significantly curbing criminal activities. Concomitant with a volunteer policing concept, the CRAC implemented a popular justice system of reeducation and community work.

MNN. OCT. 20, 2015. “Now we traverse some difficult part, let’s continue with open hearts. Remembering our place that isn’t above the others, for we all have the same mother. The time is now to do something, something that works for all. Then we’d be doing our part as told was our call. The river is wide, almost at the sea, calling to us, let us hear her plea”. [Thahoketoteh, The River.]

Where Coderre plans to shit.

The Mayor rejected the ongwe’hon:weh offer of a feather to settle this peacefully. He wants to take the big dump on Thursday, October 22. Everyone is invited to conduct peaceful rallies to save the river. Savetheriver@riseup.com. The former prime minister and Minister of the Environment asked for delays in dumping 8 billion litres of raw shit into kaniataronwanon:onwe on Friday, October 23rd. We want a permanent halt. We are enforcing international conventions trying to stop environmental devastation. Scientists report there are many alternatives. The Family Compact is willing to pay a $6 million a day fine [meaning it’s illegal]. We ask the scientists and everyone in the world to join us to enforce the kaia’nereh:kowa, Great Peace, to stop this madness.

Family Compact & Chateau Clique are violating international law. 

BACKGROUND: The CROWN illegally declared ownership of the land mass known as “Canada”. The Family Compact want to rule us forever on behalf of the CROWN. They set up private banks and put their candidates into Parliament by fixing the votes. In 1830 when the only true law was the kaia’nereh:kowa, the Family Compact/Chateau Clique bloodlines made up corporate laws. They illegally sliced up Canada into private corporate “ridings” or “republics” or “municipalties” or “INDIAN” reserves. Their banks own these artificial communities. In an election nothing changes except the faces. The policy is to kill us through guns and corporate by-laws like C-51, imposed on us by the police state. Voters are agreeing to be owned by that matrix and swear “fealty” to the CROWN, meaning loyalty to their owners to help carry out the genocide]. It’s all illegal. The Family Compact is a criminal organization. They want to kill us, our land, water and air.

Coderre and the Fam’: Take your “business” somewhere else!”

Let them know what you think about shitting in our river. Mayor Denis Coderre, 514-872-0311maire@ville.montreal.qc.ca; David Heurtel, Quebec Environment Minister, 418-521-3830info@mddelcc.gouv.qc.ca; Hon.

Mayor Coderre’s partnership with the Family Compact reminds us of Neil Young’s song about madness:“You take my hand, I’ll take your hand. Together we may get away. This much madness is too much sorrow. It’s impossible to make it today”. Video: http://search.yahoo.com/search?ei=utf-8&fr=aaplw&p=youtube+neil+young+by+the+river

SHIT VIGIL

Posted on October 19, 2015

MNN. Oct. 19, 2015. “The river of life has many falls, twists and turns and steep walls. We travel down it in our own way. The same has been from the very first day. I’ll stay in my canoe. You stay in your boat. I only hope you stay afloat. I’ll smile at you, you wave at me. We’ll continue on toward the sea”.

We all have a duty to take care of the natural world. Mayor Coderre and the Family Compact cannot violate the teiohateh, the law of the land, which gave them permission to life here. They are not following the treaty and risk being exposed as the rogue state they have become.

We all must save our river of life.

Everyone is welcome at the continuous fire vigil at the southern end of the Mercier Bridge that spans kaniatarowanon:onwe. Needed: wood, water, fruits, coffee. Contact these officials and tell them how you feel about their shit in the river.

Hey, McGill. What’s taking so long? What are you scared of.
