Occupying Oak Flat May 4, 2015




OCCUPY CONTINUES AT APACHE HOLY LAND AT OAK FLAT IN ARIZONA

Censored News

On May 4, Apache youth are joined by other youth from Indigenous Peoples including Oklahoma, Canada, New Mexico, California and others while occupying Chi'Chil'Bilda'Gotee (Oak Flat) in southeastern Arizona, on holy ancestral Apache land where the San Carlos Apache Tribal Council recently reaffirmed their opposed position against the construction of a $64 billion dollar mine by Rio Tinto/BHP/Resolution Copper Company on land deem holy and sacred to the Apaches and Indigenous Peoples since time immemorial.  Various groups from the Navajo Nation were also present while advocating for preservation of sacred sites and respecting Moother Earth.  Meanwhile, Resolution Copper Company has hired two Apache youth, Tara Kitcheyan and Michael Betom to work against their own San Carlos Apache Tribe using the old English tactic, "Divide and Conquer," strategy and have not gained much support from community members.

Thanks, Sandra Rambler

Note: On May 2, the caracol will be open for entry before 12:30. At 12:30, you will be asked to gather outside the caracol in order to begin the welcome ceremony for the families of those to whom we are paying homage and for the guests of honor, and you can then follow them to the specific place where the homage will be held. After the event, you will need to leave the caracol because it will be completely filled by the compañeras and compañeros who are bases of support. You will not be able to spend the night at the caracol.

Please post & distribute. Nia:wen.
MNN. May 3, 2015. “Sewatehonsiot”. Listen well. Haudenosaunee Confederacy Chiefs Council Inc. HCCC at Six Nations dismantled the Haudenosaunee Development Institute inc. HDI. Dismissed were non-ongwe’hon:weh lawyer Aaron Detlor, Director Hazel Hill, their signatory who has no clan, and board member Brian Doolittle. HCCC and HDI are registered corporations.
Haudenosaunee & HDI meet to work out deal!
HCCC & HDI hogs meet at the trough to work things out!
A secret HDI deal signed with Samsung in 2013 and 2014. was leaked to clan families. In exchange for money, HDI Inc. agreed on behalf all Haudenosaunee member nations of the Iroquois Confederacy to waive our sovereign immunity and any other claim of traditional or treaty rights to lands that these projects are using.
Detlor explained, “We shouldn’t be treated any differently from the incorporated tribes in the states.” Though sovereign immunity doesn’t apply to us under Canadian law, HDI Inc. agreed to waive it for this agreement. Unnamed HDI Inc. board members, chiefs and clan mothers agreed to proceed. HCCC is a criminal organization that violates the Kaia’nereh:kowa. They plan to investigate themselves.
All cops are masons that oversee the worldwide matrix.
All cops are masons that oversee the worldwide matrix.
All INDIAN reservations are under military control. In Akwesasne Beverly Cook of the St. Regis Mohawk Tribe Inc. is ready to illegally sign away all Iroquois Confederacy lands. [518-358-2272] Mike Delisle of the Mohawk Council of Kahnawake Inc. is secretly illegally signing away huge tracts of our land. [450-632-7500, communications@mck.ca] Chief Otsi of Kanehsatake Mohawk Council Inc. has already completed the theft. [450-479-8373 meilleur.patricia@kanesatake.ca]
New York State lawyers working with NYS government and police were on all sides of the Ronnie Jones v. Parmley case. It was an elaborate real estate scam to steal New York State from the Iroquois. The governor’s office, politicians, lawyers Hoffman, Morvillo, Abramowitz, Grand, Iason and Agnello were conniving to sell our rights to all of New York State.
All their incorporated POW camps known as “INDIAN reservations” are surrounded by military-designed police operational response teams, ready to attack at a moments notice. The Onondaga chiefs Inc. near Syracuse have signed on with NY State. They have Wall Street where all the money is, UN for worldwide control, West Point to train the military for the empire. May 18, 1997, was one of these attacks.
kaia'nere:kowa says "face the wrath. Don't flee!"
kaia’nere:kowa says “face the wrath. Don’t flee!”
Dennis Blythe, NYSP investigator, was well briefed and knowledgeable about our rights. He infiltrated the Onondaga chiefs, got control of them and ran the operation. When the case was completely to our advantage, the lawyers dropped the case? 13 out of the 100 victims refused to take the financial settlement. Our lawyers dropped us. Now the collusion between legislative, judicial  and the police, all answering to the military, will be revealed.
What’s going on? US and Canada want to finish off the INDIANS. It’s their time to feel some of the pain they’ve been inflicting on others. The same 13 banking families run all ends of the corporation of the US and Canada.
This past weekend a true meeting of the real Rotinoshonni [Iroquois Confederacy] met in Ganiengeh. We pledged to stand the tree of peace back up.
“Now we stand as brothers. Let us plant this tree, and water its roots. It’ll go from sea to sea. Watch it grow to the sky and bask in its shade. It represents the unity we now have made”.
