TRUDEAU: “I APOLOGIZED FIRST!”  

POPE: “YEAH, BUT MY APOLOGY IS BIGGER THAN YOURS!”

HOW CANADIAN PRIME MINISTER TRUDEAU

& THE POPE’S ADMISSION OF INDIGENOUS GENOCIDE CALLS FOR A

PARADIGM SHIFT.

The Pope came last July 2022. Lots of commotion. In the plane that was bringing him back to the Vatican, a young journalist from kahnawake asked him about genocide. He ended up admitting that what happened to us was genocide. As far as we’re concerned the cross on top of tekanontak mount royal is an admission of genocide. The term ‘genocide’ has legal consequences. Such as removing genocide regimes in Rwanda, Germany, Srilanka, South Africa and now Canada.

The whole legal genocidal framework of Canada has to be done away with. Only kaianerekowa can protect us. We have a way of life that is real. We don’t have an illusion of freedom. The circle of the family wampum does not allow the power of an attorney to represent us. Everyone is sovereign, tewatatewennio. No one can speak for someone else. No one can make decisions for another. There is no power of attorney.

Judge Moore’s decision recognizes our way of self-representation. We are finally able to raise the issue of the murders of our children and their disappearances. The business plan for the corporation of Canada is to carry out the genocide of the onkwehonweh, the original people of turtle island, as if we never existed.

"Today we stood strong against this Nazi oil-bought police force. They set off LRAD on us, hit us, maced us, arrested our grandmothers, and uncles, shot at our horse relatives, and set off concussion grenades, and rubber bullets into the unarmed crowd. They desecrated sacred land and destroyed our homes on tribal land. We had snipers scoping me out with an assault rifle pointed at me and my relative. Our hearts were wounded but we will regroup and keep our minds in high vibrations because it is not over.
We will stop the pipeline." Cepoalli, shared on Censored News, as it happened, Oct. 27, 2016

MNN. Oct. 28, 20220.We are happy to announce yesterday’s successful court decision for the Mohawk Mothers in #500-17-120-468-221 kahentinetha et al v. Societe quebecois des infrastructure et al. This landmark decision halts all excavation work at the Royal Victoria Hospital site. This is the first injunction granted to self-represented indigenous people based on our way of representing ourselves, using our great peace to achieve concensus.  The judge decided that the two parties shall spend 4 months together to do this but will convene out of court to determine together the best archaeological practices to respect the land and remains.

'Sacheen Littlefeather at the Cross Roads, Still'

Letter to the Edior

Tony Gonzales, AIM West

To the Editor,

Just off the trail with Indigenous Peoples Day - Monday, October 10, 2022 a date celebrated by all Indigenous Peoples across the Americas (Aba-Yala) and at Alcatraz Island (annual) Sunrise Gathering - the San Francisco Chronicle published claims that the recently deceased Sacheen Littlefeather was not Native after all. Sadly, the Chronicle made no effort to examine the deeper meaning of what it means to be Native and who decides.
