Mohawk Nation News 'Canada 'Avenges' Murdered Missing African Girls'


CANADA “AVENGES” MURDERED MISSING AFRICAN GIRLS


Please post and distribute.
MNN. May 10, 2014. The Corporation of Canada refuses to investigate the thousands of missing and murdered Indigenous girls and young women in Canada. Our girls have no political value to them and an investigation into their disappearance may uncover a connection to law enforcement involvement.

Canada is hastily sending to Nigeria a team of “avengers” to hunt down the kidnappers of 200 missing or murdered Nigerian school girls who have been captured by the Boko Haram guerillas. Harper said, in effect, “We don’t want any harm to happen to the girls who may be raped, put into slavery or prostitution”, like Aboriginal girls in Canada which he refuse to investigate. Why doesn’t he investigate the thousands of missing and murdered girls and women he’s been elected to do by his people?
Prime Minister Harper brought lying to a whole new level. He will fight such evil and barbarity. Canada, US and France are sending in advisors, surveillance, weaponry and thousands of troops to find these girls and to fight terrorism and Islamic militants in Nigeria. Nigeria is offering to trade them for releasing some Boka Haram.
The Boka Haram gang was established so that the West can go in and destabilize all of Africa, so they could have many wars to beef up their artificial economy. Nigerian leader, Good Luck Jonathan and his wife Precious are assets of the corporations registered through the Vatican. The military is trained, funded and armed with US weapons.
Historically, our Indigenous women have been targeted for elimination from the beginning of the genocide program. On October 25, 1924, the Indian Advancement Act created “Indian reservations” which are the prisoner of war camps for the Indians. The Residential Schools were to ensure they could accelerate the killing of our babies, the sterilization and elimination of our women and breakup of our clans. We were to be Christianized or killed!
The Truth & Reconciliation Commission set up by Prime Minister Harper to investigate the Residential School Holocaust concluded that the “crown” [Vatican] committed genocide under all legal descriptions. Laws against crimes of genocide.
It is time for the Crown Corporation called Canada to be tried for the crime of genocide against the Indigenous people in a non-Vatican controlled International Court of Arbitration. International Court of Arbitration.
Missing murdered: "Mr. Harper, we see you can't walk in our moccasins".

Sarah McLachlan’s new song tells it like it is: “Walk out. Walk in your own shoes. Lay down your footprints wherever you chose. Leave it all behind and move on. You are your own woman”. In Your Shoes.

Leadhorse Choctaw continues his journey to the south, overland through Central and South America, sharing the traditional stickball game with Indigenous Peoples. Now in El Salvador, he encourages new friends and relatives in the south to come to the world series of stickball in mid-July hosted by the Choctaw in Mississippi.

Leadhorse Choctaw said of the top photo, “The generations will keep the peace between our people from north to south. These are young journalists and now are stickball players also, shared the knowledge of the stars, calendars and the knowledge of the Kabocca Towa stickball game and the meanings of the the sticks, ball and play. Will keep sharing peace to all our people and return to share that knowledge with the people in the north. The head and body will work as one.”

DINE' CARE: Four Corners Power Plant meetings ignore impacts on Navajos




“Inadequate and Intimidating” Navajo community members speak up against limiting Navajo public input on a Four Corners EIS that’s severely deficient on health, renewables, climate, and environmental justice

By Dine' CARE
Dutch translation NAIS

FARMINGTON, NM – Members of Diné C.A.R.E. and Navajo community members who have been at public meetings held by the Department of the Interior (DOI) on the Draft Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) for the Four Corners Power Plant and Navajo Mine complex criticized the federal government for a process that is discouraging community input on a study with glaring gaps on issues such as health, climate change, environmental justice, and renewable energy alternatives.


The study covers potential impacts if the mine and power plant continues to operate for an additional 25 years. Only four of the nine meetings held by DOI’s Office of Surface Mining (OSM) on the EIS have been scheduled on the Navajo Nation. The U.S EPA and Navajo Nation EPA have not been present.


"It’s intimidating to be all by yourself, the setup is not feasible for the Diné people, it is overwhelming and confusing. During the scoping hearings, I made my comment to include the burial and sacred sites that may be impacted, but the draft EIS still covers the impacts lightly. We even talked to them in person about the potential impacts to these sites at Tiis Tsoh Sikaad Chapter, but they treated us rudely and said, “If you don’t inform us of the location of these sites, we cannot help you,” states Sarah Jane White, Tiis Tsoh Sikaad community member.


“The OSM staff and consultants are only familiar with their portion of the study and have been stating, ‘Ask that person about air quality’…‘I was only responsible for this portion’…etc. So this shows that even the consultants have not read through the entire EIS themselves, and they expect the general public to read and understand the entire EIS in 60 days? It just does not make sense,” states Colleen Cooley of Diné C.A.R.E.


“This EIS process is a different format than ones I’ve attended regarding the Desert Rock and Four Corners BART. I think this change in logistics is a deliberate move by OSM, although they claimed the change is to accommodate individuals who do not want an audience. A representative went about explaining people’s fear of ‘public speaking.’ I think OSM feared hearing individuals speak about ‘real life experiences’ of health impacts by the pollution in air and water and educating one another resulting in solidarity and action in their communities,” states Sylvia Clahchischilli of Teec Nos Pos, Arizona.


The only health assessment completed in the EIS was an indoor air quality study in homes with wood-burning stoves and it does not cover the health impacts on the people, land, and environment with the power plant running 24 hours/day, 365 days/year. Therefore, the public is requesting for a health impact study to be included in the Final EIS.
