Mohawk Nation News 'Cowards with Power!'
COWARDS WITH POWER!
PM Harper & Premier Marois: “What do we do? Those Indians won’t listen to us!”
Fascist parties force all people to obey in exchange for badly needed jobs and services. The leaders constantly promise peace and quiet, work and calm, provided with force if necessary. Those who rock the boat are removed. A secret authority is formed to bring in line those who oppose the state and to shut the critics up.
Restoring the death penalty for “serious offences” is being discussed! Where will the Gulag prisons be? Many anti-Fascists are leaving Quebec for their safety. They don’t realize that the same conditions exist in the rest of Canada, and south of the border, for that matter.
“Remember, if you’re obedient and quiet, the state will take care of you”.
Mainstream children are lied to in school about political, economic and social history: “Fascism is the only way to bring the state that you are a part of to greatness”. They become model civilians if they don’t challenge the bosses.
The atrocities being done to non-natives were done to us in the past. The Red Road is the Love Road [Ononkwatsera]. We watch and listen for infiltrators who throw negativity at us, who refuse to come of one mind on our survival. We are ready to face the cowards, even though we have no weapons or numbers. Our weapon is the truth! Stand with us! Jimi sang about when the world is being created and being brainwashed: “Voo Doo Child”. Jimi Hendrix.
Warning: Fascists arrived on Onowaregeh/Great Turtle Island wrapped in a flag carrying a bible.

Owe Aku Report to United Nations on US Human Rights Violations 2013

On Friday, September 13, 2013, Owe Aku International Justice Project, on behalf of the Oyuhpa Tiyospaye of the Oglala Lakota Oyate, a band of the Lakota Nation within the Oceti Sakowin (the Seven Council Fires), submitted its report to the United Nations Human Rights Committee for the review of the United States of America under the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights.
Standing on inherent sovereignty, the right of Indigenous peoples to self-determination, the ancient traditional governance of the the Lakota tiyospaye and treaties made with foreign governments, the independent report opens with:
“While Owe Aku has observed countless US violations of Indigenous rights in the United States, especially in light of the adoption of the Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples (the “Declaration”), Owe Aku’s report to the HRC will address its two central concerns: (1) the United States’ consistent failure to recognize, honor and enforce Indigenous treaty and self-determination rights, both as a matter of its municipal law and in its international positions, and (2) the propriety need for an international mechanism for vindicating Indigenous sovereign and treaty rights. The Rights set forth in the Declaration are consistent with those set forth in the ICCPR.”

Leland Grass 'Navajo Nation reverses position on Horse Slaughter'
Navajo Nation Reverses Position and Now is Against Horse Slaughtering

BLACK MESA, Ariz. -- (September 16, 2013) – The Nohooká Dine’, Elders and Medicine People of the Dine’, unanimously approved a Resolution opposing any and all action that leads to the slaughter of horses. The Horse is sacred to the Dine’ and is a central part of our culture and tradition. The Resolution, approved on August 26th, states in part that, “The Great Horse Nation is a part of the Great Covenant, as a supernatural being, it possesses incredible power, it is inextricably tied to our spiritual way of life and our cultural traditions, when our children are born our families look to the horse spirit to see what they have delivered to us, if we fail to honor the place of the horse in our spiritual way of life and in our cultural traditions, then we jeopardize the very cycle that renews the life of our people. The Horse must be given respect and honored for their sacred place within the Creation, as they possess the same fundamental right to Life as we, Five Finger Ones, do.”
This past week, a spokesman for the Navajo Nation administration affirmed this position. During an interview on the radio program Native American Calling, Communication Director, Erny Zah stated that: “Slaughtering is not a solution...As the Navajo Nation we are against slaughtering of these horses”(airdate -Thursday, September 12, 2013.)
“This statement from the Navajo Nation administration is more aligned with who we are as Dine’ people” stated Leland Grass of the Dine’ for Wild Horses. “We urge the Navajo Nation to formally adopt a moratorium on horse slaughtering and to only legally contract with horse buyers that agree not to sell horses for slaughter or not to slaughter the horses themselves.” The people of the Navajo Nation were encouraged by Zah’s statement. There has been great concern over past comments that have been made by Navajo Nation President, Ben Shelly. He once voiced concern that the horses were causing environmental damage. These claims appear to have been based on misinformation. We are encouraged to see a shift toward conscious resource management. The amount of money that is currently being spent to round up the wild horses for slaughter is capable of feeding and watering those animals for years. Grass believes that the Navajo Nation “could use these animals to teach our children, we can care for them, we can sell them to people and organizations that don't want to torture them."
The Nohooká Dine resolution urges the Navajo Nation to be mindful of the foundations of their cultural and spiritual way of life. It concludes by stating: “The Nohooká Dine’ strongly urges Navajo Nation President, Ben Shelly, The Navajo Nation Council, The Navajo Nation Judicial Branch, US Department of Interior and US Department of Agriculture to stop the desecration and destruction of the Dine’ Way of Life and Spiritual Foundation by recklessly promoting and supporting the round-up and mass execution of our spiritual relative the Horse.”
“We are sending the Resolution to all legislators in Washington, DC to show our support for the Horse and to urge them to pass the Safeguard American Food Exports (SAFE) Act, currently pending before Congress,” said Grass. “While it is important for protecting the Horse within the Navajo Nation, a national bill is critical to ensure there is no incentive for horses to be taken from our lands or elsewhere in the United States for slaughter.”
