MOHAWK NATION NEWS: COUNTER CLOCKWISE

Wampum 72 of the kaianerekowa provides that the soil of the earth from one end to the other [pole to pole, ocean to ocean] is the birthright of the original people who naturally occupy it. No foreign people have the right to take over the land of the inherent people. The so-called “conquest of America” is a bare-faced robbery of onkwehonweh land.

Apartheid and the Holocaust: 
Genocide of American Indians

From the Censored News archives, the words of Russell Means and Louise Benally, first published in 2014. Operation Paper Clip is one of the least reported U.S. spy operations. A second U.S. spy operation, Operation Chaos, targeted Russell Means, the American Indian Movement, and their supporters in other countries. A third spy operation, at the Denver, Colorado Police Dept., spied on AIM, resisters at Big Mountain, supporters of Leonard Peltier, attorneys, grandmothers, and many others. Then, in 2014, the Stratfor files were exposed, revealing private spying on Mohawks, the Cochabamba Mother Earth conference and more. These files also revealed Native American involvement with the U.S. Fusion Centers. While much has been written about COINTELPRO, much less has been written about these other spy operations. Ultimately, Wikileaks and The Intercept further exposed the U.S. and private corporation spying. -- Censored News
