APRIL 20, 2023. COURT STATEMENT OF KAHNISTENSERA “MOHAWK MOTHERS”, QUEBEC, MONTREAL – #500-17-120468-221

This is a historic Agreement between:

The kanienkehaka kahnistensera of Kahnawake, the Mohawk Mothers, and The Quebec Government, Royal Victoria Hospital, McGill University Health Centre, McGill University, City of Montreal, Attorney General of Canada and Attorney General of Quebec.

We followed the great peace which is our way since time immemorial. It is the spirit of these children that is making us seek the truth so that we can more clearly see into the future.    

We came to the Montreal Superior Court with the kaianerekowa to find a way to search for the unmarked graves of our children and families. This is how the kahenkehaka [Mohawk Iroquois] are dealing with the issue of genocide. Our children’s lives were devalued. We are using our natural way, with the women at the helm supported by the men.

There will be justice for all children and families.

Blackfeet to United Nations -- United States is the Greatest Offender of Native Rights

NEW YORK -- Blackfeet Councilman Marvin Weatherwax, Jr., told the United Nations, "Today there is no greater offender to tribal rights than the U.S. Department of Justice which repeatedly fails to protect our tribal communities in egregious violation of the government's treaties and trust duties."

Councilman Weatherwax, chairman of the Coalition of Large Tribes, delivered a powerful address to the United Nations Permanent Forum on Indigenous Issues.

The United States has failed to ensure Navajo water rights, plans to put a copper mine in the epicenter of San Carlos Apaches ceremonial place at Oak Flat, and treats Native people with hostility along the Canadian border.

The Department of Justice has taken the position in federal court that the United States bears no responsibility for the rape of a Northern Cheyenne woman in her home by an on-duty federal law enforcement officer.

NEW YORK -- Governments from around the world are rushing to defend their human rights records as Indigenous Peoples describe the atrocities -- from the shackling of Aboriginal children in Australia to forced police confessions in Vietnam, and cultural genocide in China's Inner Mongolia, during the 22nd session of the United Nations Permanent Forum on Indigenous Issues.

From Nicaragua, a Miskito land defender described the assassination of his son and said 79 Indigenous Peoples have been murdered. An Indigenous human rights activist in Brazil said he is targeted for death.

"I am marked for death," said an Indigenous delegate from Brazil. "I don't know how much life I have left." Appealing to the United Nations Forum, he said that he and his brothers, all marked for death, will continue their fight to the end.
