MNN. 28 Sep. 2021. For “Wreck’conciliation Day on September 29 take down every cross on our turtle island to help stop the genocide. How does the white man define “reconciliation”. They cannot be forgiven for murder of millions of our people. It’s unconscionable.  The cross is like the swastika of the Nazis which was worshipped like the crosses by Canadiens. Hardly anyone goes to church today. They won’t miss the crosses when they are gone.

For centuries crosses were the sword like the more recent atomic bomb. The sword became the cross for genociding and subjugating peoples all over the world. We call this ka-tseh-nen ion-ki-ionni. They attempted to make us into household pets. The Catholics went overboard with the cross symbolisms. Most churches put the cross on their roofs to be identified as Christians and to be tax-free.

The explorers knelt down and put the sword into the ground as an act of war, conquest or subjugation. We were totally unaware what the act meant to them. The sword was the “cross” of the Christian religion which was the path of genocide, not a symbol of peace. Our experience with the cross has been systemic hatred, injustice and racism.

The sword disguises itself as something good. In fact all churches have been deceptively evil. Catholic followers cross themselves, bow, kneel and worship this symbol. They glorify and celebrate nailing Jesus to the cross and baking him to death in the sun. Priests cross people who then cross themselves to acknowledge their submission to him.

the ultimate weapon

The churches got away with murder. Confession gives them a right to be silent on all the evil they do.

The sword in the ground is 100% related to what happened to our murdered children that the government and churches hid in unmarked graves throughout turtle island. That declaration of war against us and our children continues. They came on our land and killed us. We defended ourselves. They stuck that sword into the heart of our mother earth. 

kaianerekowa, the great peace, does not allow foreign hate signs. When the intruders came we watched them and helped them like they were our brothers. Then they forced their unnatural thinking on on us. They said the Crown would treat us like a father and unilaterally made us ‘wards’ of the state without our knowledge. They worked slowly on us with that cross. The mind conditioning gave them power. They groomed us to obey them and their dubious ‘faith’. It was a con to set us up for their secret plan to completely genocide us.

Leonard Cohen of Montreal misinformed that it’s beautiful that we Mohawks are ‘losers’! 

Rather than declaring war and using weapons, we were eliminated. Residential schools yanked our babies from the arms of our mothers, taking us, violating us and then putting us in the ground. The church and government were in total control of the murders. They eliminated eye witnesses.

Their demonic thinking controls their flock. The puppet band and tribal councils still go along with them.

Those who stayed with the great peace were disrespected, tormented and ostracised to destroy the great peace. Agreements and treaties were made with people who were traitors which continues. Creation made our minds so we could protect ourselves. That’s when the government kidnapped our children and hired the churches to murder them so there would be no more onkwehonweh. The purpose of reconciliation is to violate the two row treaty by pulling us out of our canoe and forcing us into their ship.

We always tried to remind the Crown of its responsibility to follow the treaties and human rights. Groups were created by the Crown to help carry out the genocide.

The sword and the cross destroyed the minds of many but not all.  

The cross on Mount Royal in tianni tiotakon[Montreal] claims our land for France and for the church. No natives ever ceded any land to France. That cross should come down first. Also the many crosses in kahnawake continue to confuse us, when we are capable of taking care of ourselves without their obstructions. Every cross represents the squatters claim to our land on behalf of the Crown. It’s  lit up and fancy to rub it in our faces. Remove it.

The first pandemic before covid was when the intruders first set foot on our land creating an epidemic of hatred to the present.  All crosses which are symbols of hate should be eradicated from turtle island. 

The question to Jesus Christ Super Star is, Are you what they say you are?”. . “Everytime I look at you I don’t understand why you let the things you did get so out of hand. You’d have managed better if you had it planned. Why did you choose such a backward time and such a strange land. If you’d come today, you’d have reached a whole nation….”

The media coverage by AP and many news outlets has been mediocre, and failed to point out that Bacum Yaqui, south of the Arizona border, have been fighting the Sempra gas pipeline, promoted by the state and federal governments. La Jornada points out that it is this opposition to megaprojects that led to the kidnapping of 10 men from Bacum Pueblo, when they went for a cow for a traditional feast. Earlier, Bacum Yaqui said the Mexican military planted drugs in their community in an attempt to dismantle their Yaqui traditional guard. As families held out hope for the safe return of the kidnapped men, the remains of five were confirmed on Monday, found in a stream bed near the remote camp of a criminal gang. Investigators were fired on and killed two of the assailants during the search. -- Censored News.

Translated article by La Jornada

CAJAME, Sonora, Mexico -- Yaqui in Bacum Pueblo said that the kidnapping of ten men, and confirmed murder of five of the men, from their community is the result of their opposition to megaprojects supported by the state and federal governments.

Bacum Yaqui are opposed to Sempra's gas pipeline planned for construction across the state of Sonora. In their original homeland of Yoeme (Yaqui) south of the Arizona border, Yaqui said Sempra's megaproject would directly affect their culture, language, religion, and their relationship with the land, including farming areas and medicinal plants.

MNN. 27 Sep. 2021. This Notice was sent by Registered Mail to McGill University for illegal construction on Mohawk rotinoshonni land. We Mohawk kanienkehaka have inalienable rights to this land and have received no notification. We need to be put on the agenda. We own this land and they do not have our permission. We want an investigation of our property which may be a crime scene.

LISTEN, THEY THINK THEY’RE GONNA KILL OUR MOUNTAIN. NOT AS LONG AS WE’RE ALIVE. 

NOTICE: Men’s Fire of the Six Nations Grand River Territory

542 Mohawk Rd., ON   N0A 1H0 226 388 4191

27/09/2021

Attention: Office de Consultation Publique de Montréal

ocpm.qc.ca/Royal-Victoria 514 872 8510 1 833 215 9314

Attention: The Public Consultation (Site of the Former Royal Victoria Hospital):

I am writing to request a formal hearing session to express the following issues prior to any construction associated with the project:

Introduction:

Kahnawake, Akwesasne, Six Nations and all kanienkehaka are the original people of the territory and as such are; Haudenosaunee Iroquois Confederacy onkwehonweh meaning we are not citizens of either Canada or the United States or Quebec. As Haudenosaunee Iroquois Confederacy onkwehonweh,

  1. The Commissioner is on Notice to effectively notify the proper Authorities of any development to this property (Former Royal Victoria Hospital)
  2. As per: The Two Row Wampum, and Silver Covenant Chain Wampum, the onkwehonweh (original peoples) have inherent treaty rights on the territory of tionitiohtià:kon (Montreal), as nor we nor our ancestors have ever relinquished their sovereignty from the beginning of time. The City of Montreal acknowledges that the Haudenosaunee Iroquois Confederacy have never ceded their territory. There has never been any surrender of any of our territories. 
  3. McGill University was initially built with money taken from the Indian Trust Fund in 1850, supposed to be given back to the rotinoshonni. The reimbursement process for these loans has not been implemented yet by the City of Montreal nor McGill University.
  4. The Constitution of 1982 legislation allows us to exercise the following:
    1. Haudenosaunee have inherent outright claim to this property
    2. No Consultation has been conducted to-date
    3. Onkwehonweh have strong suspicions from our elders in the community of buried bodies of our people at various locations on site. 

kahentinetha, rotiskariwakeh [spitting bear clan], wishes to have a meeting with the Commissioner ASAP.

1701 Great Peace of Montreal when the French sued for peace with the rotinoshonni after 100 years of defeat.

Fiduciary Obligation

There are two ways in which fiduciary obligation may arise between the Crown and Indigenous Peoples. (Haudenosaunee):

  1. When the Crown has discretionary control over a specific or cognizable aboriginal interest, (“SUI GENERIS fiduciary obligation”)
  2. Where the Crown has undertaken to exercise its discretionary control over a legal or substantial practical interest in the best interests of a beneficiary (the “AD HOC fiduciary relationship”)
  3. Case Law: Williams Lake Indian Band v Canada, Coldwater Indian Band v Canada (Indian Affairs and Northern Affairs)

The Hodiskeagehda (Men’s Fire of the Kahnawake, Akwesasne, and Six Nation Territory) are presenting to you your responsibility to honor and act in accordance to the kaianerenko:wa (Iroquois Great Law of Peace), the teiohate Two Row Wampum, and the Silver Convonant Chain.

The Iroquois of  turtle island have never relinquished their sovereignty to allow the proposed repurposing of the site of the former Royal Victoria Hospital. Allow me to remind you of your legislation:

Bomberry v. Ontario (Minister of Revenue) (Ont. Div. Ct.), 1989 CanLII 4300 (ON SC)

It is clear that neither the province nor the federal government can extend their administrative power beyond their constitutional reach, the charter of rights, particularly in a way that trenches upon the exclusive legislative authority of the other order of government, or the universal human rights of individuals. Please contact us if you have any questions, concerns or complaints.

Respectfully submitted by the Hodiskeagehda (Men’s Fire of the Kahnawake, Akwesasne, and Six Nation Territories)

Wifred Davey, Secretary for the Hodiskeagehda Wilfred Davey (Latudalasluni), Six Nations Grand River Territory. wilfreddavey@gmail.com

Remains confirmed of five of 10 kidnapped Yaqui from Bacum Pueblo

Yoeme family members in Bacum Pueblo.


Update Oct. 3, 2021: Bacum Yaqui Removed from Mexico President's Unveiling of 'Justice Plan.' Bacum Yaqui said identification of remains was not credible.

Bacum Yaqui were uninvited and removed as Mexico's President presented his so-called 'Justice Plan,' in Vicam, Sonora, south of the Arizona border. Bacum Yaqui are demanding the return of their kidnapped family members alive, and say the identification of remains by the government, of five of the ten men, is not credible. When they were kidnapped, the men at Bacum Yaqui Pueblo were serving as security guards. Bacum Yaqui continues its long resistance to the Sonora gas pipeline and mining in Sonora, south of the Arizona border. Bacum Yaqui said the President's 'Justice Plan' will not halt the theft of Yaqui River, by the Independence Aqueduct, for the City of Hermosillo. Bacum Yaqui said that before the men were kidnapped, the Mexican military planted drugs in their community in an attempt to dismantle the traditional Yaqui security guards. -- Grieta Collective at Censored News.

The Attorney General of Sonora said that DNA testing has confirmed the remains of five of the 10 missing Yaqui from Bacum Pueblo. The remains were found at Chichiquelite Ranch in Cajeme municipality, where the search continues along a stream bed.

The ten men from Bacum Pueblo were kidnapped when they went for a cow for a traditional feast. Yaqui, in their traditional Yoeme homeland south of the Arizona border, have been fighting energy corporations and the theft of their water.

Bacum Yaqui were kidnapped at gunpoint on July 15. In Bacum, Yaqui have been fighting a gas pipeline. Prior to the kidnappings, Bacum Yaqui said the Mexican military planted drugs in their community in an attempt to dismantle their traditional guards.

Now, lithium, in demand for electric cars, laptops and cellphones, is targeted for mining in the state of Sonora. Around the world, Indigenous Peoples are now the victims of lithium mining.

In nearby Vicam Pueblo, Water Protector Tomas Rojo -- among those leading efforts to protect Yaqui River water from theft by an aqueduct for the City of Hermosillo -- was brutally assassinated after being kidnapped in May.

On Sunday, the Attorney General in Sonora said based on the scientific tests, the remains of five of the 10 kidnapped and disappeared from Bacum Pueblo were identified.  They are:
