MNN. OCT. 20, 2015. “Now we traverse some difficult part, let’s continue with open hearts. Remembering our place that isn’t above the others, for we all have the same mother. The time is now to do something, something that works for all. Then we’d be doing our part as told was our call. The river is wide, almost at the sea, calling to us, let us hear her plea”. [Thahoketoteh, The River.]
Where Coderre plans to shit.
Where Coderre plans to shit.

The Mayor rejected the ongwe’hon:weh offer of a feather to settle this peacefully. He wants to take the big dump on Thursday, October 22. Everyone is invited to conduct peaceful rallies to save the river. Savetheriver@riseup.com. The former prime minister and Minister of the Environment asked for delays in dumping 8 billion litres of raw shit into kaniataronwanon:onwe on Friday, October 23rd. We want a permanent halt. We are enforcing international conventions trying to stop environmental devastation. Scientists report there are many alternatives. The Family Compact is willing to pay a $6 million a day fine [meaning it’s illegal]. We ask the scientists and everyone in the world to join us to enforce the kaia’nereh:kowa, Great Peace, to stop this madness.
Family Compact & Chateau Clique are criminals.
Family Compact & Chateau Clique are violating international law. 
BACKGROUND: The CROWN illegally declared ownership of the land mass known as “Canada”. The Family Compact want to rule us forever on behalf of the CROWN. They set up private banks and put their candidates into Parliament by fixing the votes. In 1830 when the only true law was the kaia’nereh:kowa, the Family Compact/Chateau Clique bloodlines made up corporate laws. They illegally sliced up Canada into private corporate “ridings” or “republics” or “municipalties” or “INDIAN” reserves. Their banks own these artificial communities. In an election nothing changes except the faces. The policy is to kill us through guns and corporate by-laws like C-51, imposed on us by the police state. Voters are agreeing to be owned by that matrix and swear “fealty” to the CROWN, meaning loyalty to their owners to help carry out the genocide]. It’s all illegal. The Family Compact is a criminal organization. They want to kill us, our land, water and air.
Coderre and the Fam': Take your "business" somewhere else!"

Let them know what you think about shitting in our river.

Mayor Coderre’s partnership with the Family Compact reminds us of Neil Young’s song about madness:“You take my hand, I’ll take your hand. Together we may get away. This much madness is too much sorrow. It’s impossible to make it today”. Video: http://search.yahoo.com/search?ei=utf-8&fr=aaplw&p=youtube+neil+young+by+the+river

SHIT VIGIL

mnnlogo1

MNN. Oct. 19, 2015. “The river of life has many falls, twists and turns and steep walls. We travel down it in our own way. The same has been from the very first day. I’ll stay in my canoe. You stay in your boat. I only hope you stay afloat. I’ll smile at you, you wave at me. We’ll continue on toward the sea”.Vigil

We all have a duty to take care of the natural world. Mayor Coderre and the Family Compact cannot violate the teiohateh, the law of the land, which gave them permission to life here. They are not following the treaty and risk being exposed as the rogue state they have become.
We all must save our river of life.
We all must save our river of life.

Everyone is welcome at the continuous fire vigil at the southern end of the Mercier Bridge that spans kaniatarowanon:onwe. Needed: wood, water, fruits, coffee. Contact these officials and tell them how you feel about their shit in the river.

VIDEO Juan Sandoval: Protecting Indigenous Peoples Sites in Mexico

.


Mexico's anthropologists held a seminar in northwest Mexico to discuss the formation of the northern border, and protection of burial places and cultural places of Indigenous Peoples.

HERMOSILLO, Sonora, Mexico -- Dr. Juan Manuel Sandoval of the National Institute of Anthropology and History in Mexico City, Instituto Nacional de Antropologia e Historia, spoke at the Seminario Permanente de Estudios Chicanos y de Fronteras, held here Oct 9 -- 11, 2015.
Over breakfast, Dr. Andres Oseguera M., anthropologist, Escuela de
Antropologia e Historia del Norte de Mexico, Chihuahua, Mexico,
talks with Mtro. Fernando Gonazlez Davila, Historiador, Instituto
Nacional de Antropologia e Historia Centro Queretaro, Mexico.

Mexico's anthropologists gathered in Hermosillo to discuss the formation and militarization of the northern border and what is being done to protect Indigenous Peoples cultural and burial places.
Those gathered discussed the US "Gun Belt" that is present from the northern border above Seattle, through the southern border with Mexico and up the east coast to Canada.
The "Gun Belt" is not really about just about stopping drug running, immigration and terrorism. It is a large scale military complex.
As the United States continues its militarization and encroachment of the border region, "sweat shops" in northern Mexico are increasingly adding military components to their productions, including weapons.
During an interview with Censored News during the seminar, Dr. Sandoval said in 1972, Mexico created a law to protect archaeological, historical, and paleontologist sites and Native cultures.
The National Institute is now in charge of protecting Indigenous historic sites and preventing destruction of artifacts. For example, there is authority to protect Indigenous sites in cases where a highway is planned through an area, he said.
Meanwhile, in the United States, there is a lack of compliance with the existing laws to protect Indigenous Peoples cultural and burial places. On the Tohono O"odham Nation, the United States violated 37 laws when the US built the border wall. O'odham ancestors were dug up in violation of all existing US laws in the process of building the border wall in Arizona.
Dr. Sandoval said of the penalties for such acts in Mexico, "The punishment is very harsh for artifact robbers."

till, in Mexico, corruption makes it difficult to defend and protect the sites.


In northwestern Mexico -- in the states of Sonora, Sinaloa and Chihuahua located south of the border from New Mexico and Arizona -- the current violence crosses through the homelands of Mayo, Comcaac (Seri), Yoeme (Yaqui), Guarijio, Pima, Cocopah, O'odham, Raramuri (Tarahumara) and the homelands of many other Indigenous Peoples.

Sonora Anthropologist Alejandro Aguilar Zeleny was among those speaking at the seminar.

The National Institute of Anthropology and History, Mexico City
The National Institute of Anthropology and History (INAH) investigates, conserves and divulgates the national archaeological, anthropological, historical and paleontological heritage, to strengthen the identity and memory of the society that holds it.
 INAH is an institution with plenty regulating and ruling faculties in regards to protection and conservation of tangible and intangible cultural heritage, at the forefront thanks to the level of excellence of research in anthropology, archaeology, history, restoration, museology and paleontology, as well as in professional training within the sphere of its competence.
Its activities have great social impact since the Institute cooperates with the different levels of government and society in the decision making processes of developmental plans and programs, for the design and execution of strategies for conservation and knowledge of the national heritage and memory. INAH performs within this frame of social joint responsibility because it counts on with infrastructure and resources according to its functions as well as with enough highly-qualified personnel with sense of duty to attend the public requirements in an opportune and efficient way.

Mohawk Nation News 'Old Boys, It's Over'

OLD BOYS, IT’S OVER!

mnnlogo1

Please post & distribute. Nia:wen.
MNN. 16 Oct. 2015. A temporary postponement of the shit-drop into the kaniataro’wanen:onwe, the great river of life, by Mayor Coderre of Montreal is unacceptable. Stop it forever!savetheriver@riseup.com
Coderre: "Old boys, I tried".
Coderre: “Old boys, I tried”.
The Chateau Clique, the Quebec “old boys club” of the Family Compact, invented the private corporation of Canada. They incorporated the City of Montreal in 1832 causing the shit problem in Montreal and elsewhere. The scum who started the Clique are James McGill and John Molson. Their partners are Jonathan Sewell, Quebec Archbishops Jacob Mountain and Charles James Stewart, William McGillivray, Edward Bowen, banker Horatio Gates and Peter McGill. Their offspring are today’s old boys club stinking up everything.
... which was all stolen from the ongwe'hon:weh
… which was all stolen from the ongwe’hon:weh
The old thugs made laws in the 1830s at Osgoode Hall in Toronto, built with stolen Six Nation Trust Funds. The laws were to protect their land theft, power grab, and to ensure they remain perpetually at the top of the corporate hierarchy. They set up the private corporation of Canada and made up bylaws. They set up the Canadian banking system and own all the major banks. Their Family Compact bloodline sit on the boards of directors for all major corporations of Canada, including the Corporation of Canada.
The CROWN is the sole shareholder of the private corporation known as Canada. The Family Compact bankers sit on the board of directors for the CROWN shareholders to make sure there is ever growing dividends. They appoint the boards for Montreal, McGill University and so on. Every band council, community, town, municipality and city was incorporated into private independent republics controlled by the Family Compact. The bankers control every everyone in Canada because they can’t make a transaction without a bank account.
McGill & Molson: "How dare you call us criminals to our faces!"
McGill & Molson: “How dare you call us criminals to our faces!”
They even gave us, and our land, foreign corporate names to alienate us from our land and the natural world. We will reclaim our original ongwe’hon:weh names. The so-called “St. Lawrence” is kaniatara’wano:onwe, the great river of life, which we live with and never try to control. Our names have life, momentum and meanings that makes us think.
Roy Orbison sings it best for what’s coming: “All the rainbows in the sky start to even say goodbye. You won’t be seeing rainbows any more. Setting suns before they fall, echo to you, that’s all, that’s all.
But you’ll see lonely sunset after all. It’s over, it’s over, it’s over, it’s over, It’s over.
