Mohawk Nation News 'I Want a Country'


“I WANT A COUNTRY”


mnnlogo1

MNN. Apr. 3, 2014. Quebecois separatist candidate, Pierre Karl Peladeau, declares, “I want a country “.  He wants total power first as a cabinet minister, then as premier and then king of his dynasty. He is launching a hostile corporate takeover of Quebec Inc. Peladeau wants a country.
Mohawk Warriors: "Mr. Peladeau, We heard you want our country!"
Mohawk Warriors: “Mr. Peladeau, we heard you want our country!”

He became a billionaire from stealing and selling our newsprint worldwide. Now he is a media baron. He’s ready to declare war on the sovereign Mohawk Nation on whose land he squats. He has to answer to the Mohawks about our unsurrendered land and resources. This is an international issue.
Pauline Marois promises when she is re-elected as Premier of Quebec Inc. she will make the Charter of Values even stronger. She can decide that everyone should shave their heads or eat poutine three times a day. Whatever!
Peladeau threatened to pass a law disqualifying himself from putting his Quebecor Inc. assets in trust. As Neo was told in the “Matrix’.

He punches his fist in the air and shouts in French.  They promise to rewrite history. Indigenous will be almost non-existent. Who are those bronze people whose skin color the Quebecois like to emulate in their tanning parlors? Where will their cheap cigarettes come from? Will Quebec, an Algonquin word, have to be renamed? Quebecois will pledge to speak only French until the day they die. They will be taught that they won the French and Indian wars! That they brought all the Indigenous land and resources with them from Europe!
The Nazis are trying to take over Quebec like they did in Ukraine. Only French will be spoken. What is going on in Quebec is the exact same m.o. in Ukraine, except with a Canadian flavor. Many separatists are already in major positions ready to run the show. Quebecois with help from outsiders are being organized to intimidate, attack and create conflict. Same old, divide and conquer.
Mr. Peladeau’s friends are ready to help because they think they can get the booty on the stolen Indigenous natural resources. They will not. We don’t deal in what if! They’re talking what ifs! They will never make more fake borders on our land. We Ongwehonwe will take our rightful seat at the table of nations. The rest of the world is waiting for this balance of the natural law to happen.
Pauline, be careful what you wish for!
Pauline, be careful what you wish for!
As Led Zeppelin sang and Pauline better listen, “Always the same, playing your game, drive me insane, trouble is going to come to you. One of these days, and it won’t be long, you’ll look for me and I’ll be gone. Your time is gonna come. That’s all I gotta say to you, woman, your time is gonna come. “ Led Zepellin. “Your time is gonna come”.

John Kane, Mohawk 'Stirring the Ashes'

Stirring the Ashes

By John Karhiio Kane, Mohawk

One of the biggest challenges for any people is broad participation in the issues that affect everyone. And when you stop and think about it, there is very little from the smallest ripples in a family to major calamities in a community that occurs without impacting others.
The notion of "mind your own business" or "let someone else handle it" has become commonplace in many cultures. As we observe the flaws of some of these other cultures and societies there are those among us that would like to think the Haudenosaunee lived in a utopian society where conflict and controversy could never find a home. We speak of "the good mind" as though our ancestors never had bad thoughts.

KSFY Camp brings a face to South Dakota Tribes' KXL fight

Rosebud Sioux tribal member Wizipan Little Elk said, "We're going to be here at least a month, at which point, we're expecting President Obama and the administration will be making a decision. If the decision is no, we will pick up camp and go home and continue to be vigilant about the issue. If he says yes to the route, we're going to be here for an additional two months, plus we have more camps that we're planning to set up along the route."
Nez Perce tribal member Gary Dorr said, "This spirit camp is here. It's going to stay in a spiritual mode, in a prayer mode, until one of two things happens - one is Obama - President Obama denies the permit for Keystone XL Pipeline or the ground gets broken, at which time this will turn into a blockade camp."
