Originally, in January of 2006, this objection was sent out via electronic and registered mail to all states claiming sovereignty over our un-surrendered lands known as the Arctic Region/Turtle Island. This objection has been revised to include Russia and sent registered mail to the parties.
PUBLIC NOTICE OF OBJECTION TO ATTEMPTED USURPATION OF INDIGENOUS JURISDICTION KNOWN AS THE “ARCTIC REGION” OF TURTLE ISLAND BY THE UNITED STATES, CANADA, DENMARK, RUSSIA AND ANY OTHER NATION, CORPORATION, FOREIGN FEDERAL, STATE OR PROVINCIAL “GOVERNANCE” AGENCIES AND ALL “OUTSIDERS” AND NON-INDIGENOUS INTERESTS

Twin snakes at the northern border
In true snake fashion, Bush and Gonzales are slithering on both sides of the northern border
By Brenda Norrell

It should come as no surprise that Attorney General Alberto Gonzales, George Bush’s twin viper, is meeting with American Indian tribes in Michigan and elsewhere at the northern border.
It was in Michigan that the National Congress of American Indians opposed Bush’s plans for biometrics and other new regulations for border cards.
Calling those a violation of treaty rights, NCAI opposed biometrics in border cards, during NCAI’s mid-year session in June, 2006 in Sault Ste. Marie, Mich.
Passing two resolutions, NCAI said biometrics and other security features would “likely infringe on tribal government as well as individual member rights.”
NCAI said the proposed border cards were “detrimental and in direct violation of existing treaty rights including hunting, fishing and spiritual observances, harming tribal economies and disrupting the daily life of border tribal community."
One type of biometrics, iris biometrics, is especially dangerous. If the lasers are not properly calibrated, blindness can result.
Gonzales’ visit to Indian tribes at the northern border comes at the same time that Bush is being protested at the North American Summit in Canada.
Using fear-mongering about the so-called war on terror, and throwing in fear of bird flu, Bush’s border agenda is to create new border regulations making border passage more difficult for people, while securing quick passage for chosen corporations.
It was the Mohawk warriors that alerted Indigenous Peoples to the grave dangers that the new trilateral union of the U.S., Canada and Mexico, would pose to Indigenous Peoples and their territories. As with NAFTA, the trilateral union is designed to favor corporations and the exploitation of Indigenous natural resources.
Gonzales is trying to win favor with American Indian tribes by saying the words he thinks they want to hear and sprinkling around a few million here and there, mere chicken feed compared with the needs.
But, as always with Bush and the house of snakes, there is a hidden corporate agenda and an element of Nazi-like control of the borders.
Here’s the chosen corporations of the tri-national working group, the North American Competitiveness Council:
United States:
Campbell Soup Company Chevron Corporation Ford Motor Company FedEx Corporation General Electric Company General Motors Corp. Kansas City Southern Lockheed Martin Corporation Merck & Co., Inc. Mittal Steel USA New York Life Insurance Company The Procter & Gamble Company (joined in 2007) UPS Wal-Mart Stores, Inc. Whirlpool Corporation

Bush agenda at Canadian summit: U.S. wants oil and gas in the Arctic, free passage for select corporations

Ensuring corporate border crossing, if borders are closed to people:
"Bush, Mexican President Felipe Calderón and Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper want to find a way to protect citizens in an emergency – perhaps an outbreak of avian flu or a natural disaster – without the tie-ups that slowed commerce after the Sept. 11 attacks."
Thawing Northwest Passage has oil and gas the U.S. wants ...
"Calderón and Harper both want tight relations with Bush, yet don't want to be seen as proteges of the unpopular president or leave the impression that the U.S. is encroaching on their sovereignty.
To that end, Harper used the meeting to assert his nation's claim to the Northwest Passage through the Arctic.
The race to secure subsurface rights to the Arctic seabed heated up when Russia sent two small submarines to plant a tiny national flag under the North Pole. The United States and Norway also have competing claims in the vast Arctic region, where a U.S. study suggests as much as 25 percent of the world's undiscovered oil and gas could be hidden.
Canada believes much of the North American side of the Arctic is Canada's, but the United States says the thawing Northwest Passage is part of international waters.
A senior Canadian government official said Harper raised the recent remarks of Paul Cellucci, Bush's previous U.S. ambassador to Canada. Cellucci argued that the U.S. should acknowledge the Northwest Passage as Canadian so that the Canadian navy could to patrol the area, monitor shipping and guard against potential terrorism and weapons smuggling."

Smelling the trilateral rat
By Brenda Norrell When you smell a rat, just follow the money.
The new trilateral partnership, Security and Prosperity Partnership of North America, is now being protested by First Nations and others in Canada.

Under the guise of the war on terrorism, with the old stand-in of the fear of bird flu, the three amigos, leaders of the U.S., Mexico and Canada, want to tighten the border for people, while paving the way for certain corporations.
.
"The goal of this secret plan is to dissolve the three sovereign nations of United States, Canada and Mexico into a North American Union by 2010. All our resources: land, water, agricultural, also health and environment issues, will be not be controlled the peoples of these three sovereign countries but by the new un-elected government of the North American Union," said one First Nations warrior.
.
Mohawks released a statement of travel restrictions from First Nations protecting their territories from the conquest of the puppet leaders of corporations.

"In Unity with People upon Earth against Globalization, North American Free Trade Agreement and meeting between puppet leaders of the corporations United States, Canada and Mexico at Chateau Montebello on twentieth day said August;
"In response to corporations State Of New York , United States Bureau Of Indian Affairs and Catskill Development LLC, attempts to interfere with Ancient governmental structure of Kanienkehaka and unauthorized negotiations, to deprive of Ancestral Land;

.
Passport requirements, border security and territorial disputes in the Arctic were among issues raised by Canada during the meeting with Bush.
Meanwhile, in the selection process of representatives of the tri-lateral partnership, Canada, Mexico and the United States all employed different methods.
