MNN:  AWAKENING, 150 MILLION MURDERED INDIGENOUS 
MNN. Jan. 16, 2013. Calling out from the earth to us Indigenous people are 150 million of our men, women, children and babies who were murdered by the white race for our lands. They are urging us to bring back natural law and order for the sake of the future generations, who are waiting to be released to us by our great Mother Earth. 

Our ancestors are not gone, invisible, forgotten. We are here.

The Canadian and US corporations are trying to find and punish “leaders” of the Idle No More movement.  Our ancestors in each of us are calling us. Even the plants and animals are waiting for us to hear them.  
Canada is vulnerable. All infra-structure is critical to transport our resources to international markets for their war program. This will end. The Corporation of the US is involved when their source of electricity, oil and gas are at stake. US Military Northern Command or NORTHCOM has already been given the green light through 911 treaty fraud to invade Canada at any time they deem fit.  
The circulation of our goods, resources and energy drives the war economy.  Our duty is to stop the war problem. Critical infrastructure is at our mercy.  Blockades are deadly to the economy.  Millions are employed in the theft of our natural resources.  All consultation for our resources is between industry and government, not with us. That is why the wars continue.  
Corporations tire of Indigenous protests. They want to deal directly with Harper’s corporate Indians who are willing to be paid off without consulting us, to have the guise of legality for their contracts. Our ancestors won’t allow that. We will stop genocide.  We the owners want a list of the shareholders of each corporation. Our ancestors direct that any involved in the genocide of our people will not be doing any business on Great Turtle Island.  
Corporate Chiefs and band councils are agents of the crown, who take an oath to the Queen of England. They are no longer in but out of the canoe.  
Canada holds $3 trillion of our Indian Trust Funds. The Queen and her family take a cut on everything that’s done in Canada. It is used to finance non-stop war and to kill us off.  The criminals responsible for the biggest holocaust in all humanity will be held accountable.  
Split of Indian Trust Money:  4% goes to the Vatican, international Court of Justice and the International Criminal Court.  3% goes to the Mediating Group? 2% for the ASM?  1% to the eternal trust deposit forever.  The Queen signs this deal.   
Nothing can stop this awakening of our people.  We stand with nothing to lose.  The fight is ours to win. 

Faces coming to us.  

As Robbie Robertson sings in “Ghost Dance”:  “Crazy Horse was a mystic, he knew the secret of the trance.  Sitting Bull, the great apostle of the ghost dance.   Come on, Commanche. Come on, Blackfoot.  Come on, Shoshone.  Come on, Cheyenne. We shall live again.  Come one, Arapahoe.  Come on, Cherokee.  Come on, Paiute.  Come on, Sioux.  We shall live again.”  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JLM1H8JH9XA

National News | 16. Jan, 2013 by APTN National News 

APTN National News
A Manitoba rail blockade has shut down regional rail traffic, according to a spokesman for CN.
An APTN National News crew, including reporter Karen Gott, is following former Roseau River chief Terry Nelson who is spearheading the rail blockade in Manitoba. The chosen location sits about 90 km west of Winnipeg at the junction of Hwy. 1 and the Yellowhead Hwy. which is the major branch route to Western Canada. The RCMP is on the scene.
“Yes, I have just been advised that we now have a blockade in Manitoba,” said CN spokesman Jim Feeny. “(It is) stopping train traffic in that region.”
The rail blockade was expected to also target a CP rail line. CP could not be reached for comment.
The Tyendinaga Mohawks also they plan to shut down the CP and CN rail lines in Ontario as part of cross-country, National Day of Action events planned from British Columbia to Nunavut, Alberta to Nova Scotia. Mohawks from Tyendinaga have told APTN National News reporter Kenneth Jackson that they plan to shut down the rail lines at about 1 p.m. local time. The location for the blockade is unknown.
Another rail blockade is also expected to hit in British Columbia, APTN National News reporter Shirley McLean. The Gtixsan of Gitwangak said they would block the CN rail between 10 a.m. local time and 6 p.m.
Rallies, round dances and blockades were expected from coast-to-coast-to-coast Wednesday.

Rally outside the British Consulate in Toronto.

In Windsor, Ont., about 1,000 people marched to the Ambassador Bridge which links the city to Detroit, Mich., said filmmaker Monica Virtue. Virtue said drummers were pounding away and a helicopter hovered over head as the march stopped briefly on their route, with the bridge looming in the distance.
“We are getting ready to walk over the bridge,” said Virtue, in a phone interview.
In Ontario, London District Chiefs Council Chair Greg Peters said earlier in the day that the planned rally at the Ambassador Bridge  would be the biggest First Nations event the area has ever seen. Plans are to rally for about an hour, temporarily stopping cross-border traffic.
"This will be the biggest First Nation event that Windsor has ever seen,” said Peters, who spoke to APTN while standing in a parking lot packed with 12 buses of supporters. “We want to send a message that depending on the numbers, should we decide to shut down the border at a future date that is possible, that it could be done.
A portion of Hwy 401 was shut down by police for the convoy to the bridge.
In Miramichi, NB, marchers took over the Centennial Bridge as part of nation-wide events.

Six Nations holds rally Wednesday morning at Cayuga courthouse 

In Cayuga, Ont., near Hamilton, about 60 people from Six Nations rallied and round danced at the local court house Wednesday morning.
“The idle No More movement is connecting to the everyday injustices faced by Native people when they are dragged through the courts at the hands of the (Ontario Provincial Police) when they are standing up for their rights,” said organizer Laura Lepper.
Lepper said the rally was partly in support of Theresa Toad Jaimeson who is facing charges from a Feb. 18, 2012, incident after a “anti-Native rights” activist walked into an area of land in Caledonia, Ont., that Six Nations reclaimed in 2006.
A spokesman for the OPP said the provincial police force would be focusing on preserving public safety throughout the day.
“I know there are various activities planned for various locations,” said OPP Sgt. Peter Leon. “We are prepared to deal with them as they do present themselves.”
Barrie, Ont., police warned drivers Wednesday morning to expect delays as a result of rallies.
Members of Alderville First Nation in Ontario are slowing traffic along Hwy. 45 which cuts through their territory. They are handing out pamphlets, coffee and juice..
Possible blockades are also expected in Ontario and Manitoba. Former Roseau River chief Terry Nelson told APTN National News there are plans to shut down the CP and CN rail lines in Manitoba.
In British Columbia, the Pat Bay Hwy in Vancouver Island is also expected to be blocked temporarily.
A highway blockade is also planned near Cardston, Alta., and in the Lubicon Lake nation in the same province plans traffic slowdowns throughout the oil fields in their territory.
“We’re not out blocking the roads and shutting things down, we’re not at that point.” said Lubicon Coun. Bryan Laboucan, in a statement. “All we’re doing here today is taking a few minutes to talk to people visiting our territory whether for work or just passing through and educate them on our situation.”
In Whitehorse a 24-hour prayer circle is expected to begin at about 6 p.m. local time. In Toronto, an Idle No More rally is planned for the British consulate at noon local time.
A march is planned in Kanesatake that will begin at the Pines near the cemetery that was once at the centre of the Oka crisis in 1990.

Idle No More march across the Westmorland Bridge in Fredericton, NB.

The Algonquins Barriere Lake, Que., plan to slow down traffic on Hwy 117 to draw attention to their opposition of forestry projects on their land.

Gitwangak, BC – The Gitxsan of Gitwangak announce that there will be a CN Rail Blockade happening on January 16, 2013, between the times of 10:00 am and 6:00 pm.
As Idle No More moves ahead with blockades throughout North America Gitwagak moves ahead to show their support for the Idle No More actions as well as the ongoing blockade with the Unist’ot’en Camp.
“We the people of Gitwangak, of the Gitxsan Nation, stand unified on this day of action to answer the call of all first nations across Canada in support of idle no more and to oppose Bill C-45. Bill C-45 is designed to provide quick development access to resource extraction industries, which operate on First Nations lands. Bill C45’s amendments to the Indian Act will give the ministry of Aboriginal affairs access over First Nations lands and the government authority to determine the surrender of any portion of any first Nation territory at any given time.
Furthermore, new changes to the Fisheries Act undermine Canada’s Ecology and removes legal barriers to oil, pipeline and other companies. Under the new changes, the developer will no longer be responsible for fixing the environmental and habitat damage they cause. We are the stewards of the land. We will continue to fight for future generations.” States Fred Johnson, Spokesperson for the Gitwangak people.
The Gitxsan vow to escalate actions in the near future if genuine progress is not made between the Federal and Provincial Governments and the Indigenous Peoples of Canada. Indigenous peoples of Canada have inspired a movement that has gone global. The Idle No More movement focuses on Treaty and Non-Treaty experiences with injustices as in the recent Omnibus Bill passed by the majority Conservative government of Canada. For the Gitxsan and Wet’suwet’en, the famous 1997 Delamuukw v. Queen Supreme Court of Canada Case stated that meaningful negotiations between government agencies and Gitxsan and Wet’suwet’en Peoples must happen in a timely manner.
The Gitxsan and Wet’suwet’en have not seen any form of meaningful negotiations since that court case more than 15 years ago.
“As long as meaningful negotiations are not engaged in between the parties the members of the Gitxsan and Wet’suwet’en Nations will keep on pressing the issue with the governments of Canada and British Columbia. We will not go away or be silenced. We’ve come too far and fought too hard for that to happen.” Stated Fred Johnson.

Athabasca Chipewyan Chief Allan Adam Statement Jan. 15, 2013

Press Statement From Chief Allan Adam regarding Highway 63 Roadblocks

January 15, 2013 – Fort McMurray, AB – In the wake of Idle No More and the AFN’s calls for blockades, peaceful protests and a stall of the Canadian economy Chief Allan Adam of the Athabasca Chipewyan First Nation (ACFN) has made waves with talk of potential long term blockades in Northern Alberta.

“At this time we have no plans to organize or facilitate the organization of roadblock on highway 63 for January 16^th or any set date. However, the people are upset with the current state of affairs in this country and things are escalating towards more direct action.

As a leader I have been talking to the people, talking with governments and industry to try and diffuse the situation that is coming to the surface.  However, neither government nor industry seems willing to move on the issues and the people have said that enough is enough.

Both Federal and provincial governments’ have blind sided this Country with weaken environmental legislation, weakened protection of our waters, lands and animals and a weakened public review process.  These legislative changes within Bill C-45 and Bill C-38 will expedite Canada’s abilities to extract billions of dollars in profits from Indigenous lands while most of our communities live in poverty and some without basic services like clean drinking water.  The legacy that will be left for our people will be nothing more then polluted lands and waterways with little left for our people to survive on.

Our people have become the canaries in the coalmine. We are all at a precipice and at a pivotal point in history.  We can either sit idly by and watch as the government sanctions the right to destroy the lands and rights of the people of this country or we can stand up and protect our lands and rights.

Unless Harper, the Canadian government and industry see the necessity to repeal the Bills or at the very least, remove amendments made to and renegotiate the terms of the Navigable Waters Protection Act, the Fisheries Act, The Environmental Assessment Act, the National Energy Board Act and the Indian Act, you can expect to see matters escalate not just here in Alberta but across this Country.

The blockade of Highway 63 is something that has always been a possibility even before Idle No More.  For the last 50 years people in Northern Alberta have been living at ground zero in one of the world’s most destructive industrial projects, the Alberta Tar Sands.  The tar sands infrastructure includes pipelines to the east, west, south and north needed to ship tar sands out and bring in solvents used in processing.  It includes proposed nuclear reactors and natural gas mining to generate power for needed for extraction.  It involves utilizing massive amounts of fresh water to process and leaves incredibly large toxic waste lakes that are contaminating plants, animals and neighbouring waterways.  It creates vast amounts of greenhouse gases fueling climate chaos and contributing to alarming climate change.

Our community has been challenging applications made by Shell Oil Canada, has repeated asked for better environmental protections, basic third party independent monitoring, and a moratorium until further studies are done to determine to cumulative impacts of the tar sands on the people and the land. To date all we have seen is nothing more then meetings and lip service. 

The Oil, Gas and pipeline industry asked the government for legislative changes to better protect their investments and assets in the name of “economic growth” and within ten months the government made sweeping changes to legislation in their favor.

Indigenous Rights and environmental protection are intrinsically tied together, our rights are contingent on thriving eco-systems and intact biodiversity.  Without fresh water and pristine lands we cannot practice our cultural and spiritual way of being.  By weakening environmental protection and avenues for challenging industrial development the government has weakened it’s respect and fiduciary obligation to uphold the Canadian Constitution and our inherent treaty and aboriginal rights in Canada. It’s time for Canada to negotiate the terms of adequate environmental protection in partnership with Treaty and Aboriginal rights.

If no changes are made in the coming months I guarantee we will see Nationwide peaceful picket lines set up, resulting in blockades of major highways, against all resource extraction and development that is being done in violation of the Canadian Constitution, with unjust environmental standards and in contravention of our inherent rights to live, breathe and sustain ourselves on our lands.”

Mohawk Nation News: Owistah, Diagnosis and Cure

OWISTAH, DIAGNOSIS & CURE

Mohawk Nation News

http://www.mohawknationnews.com

 Posted on January 15, 2013

 

OWISTAH, DIAGNOSIS & CURE 
MNN.  Shawn Atleo, of the Assembly of First Nations, is on sick leave after the disastrous January 11 meeting between him, the corporate chiefs and Prime Minister Harper.  While you are resting, we hope you will become of a good mind with the people.  They wanted the corporate chiefs to listen to them.  The CEO puppet master did not want to talk about the treaties, or scrap his genocide laws meant to terminate us.

Get well soon.

Betraying the women, who bring together the minds of the people, causes the owistah disease. It’s our AIDS that brought us to the victimized state we’re in.  The corporate chiefs job is to infect us with the virus of debt to the bankers.   It causes hierarchal pyramidal mental constriction. They deliver the owistah diluted blankets from the economic hit man to us.   He reminds the corporate chiefs that you have to think only of yourself and your family.  The main symptom of this sickness is, “Me, me, me.  I, I, I”.  The cure is “We”.  
CEO Stephen Harper of the Corporation of Canada wanted his corporate chiefs to swing the corporate sword at us to divide us. The corporation can exist only when our minds are separated. We were to be delivered to Harper and his handlers [the bankers].  Soon other corporate chiefs will start showing symptoms of owistah, like Atleo. 
Western democracies are based upon control through corruption and bribery. Payouts to secret bank accounts are the cause of the Owistah disease.  The only cure is the Kaianerekowa.  
The corporate chiefs could not remind Harper of the “Indian Trust Money” as they are part of the swindle.  Only Indian money from our resources pays to operate the cartel known as the corporation of Canada. 
In the 1800s millions of Mohawk money was taken from our trust funds to build Osgoode Hall, the seat of “legality” in Ontario.  McGill University was also built with stolen Mohawk money.  Both never repaid us.    
The rich don’t work.  They rule and take their cut from every transaction that goes through the bank, as the current Quebec corruption scandal proves.  

British victimize China in opium wars.

The British architects of this debt scam made vast fortunes from the opium wars in the 1800s. Then they came to Great Turtle Island with their drug money and set up the American banking cartels [Rockefeller, Morgans, etc.]  Today these drug dealers are running the criminal agenda to create the male hierarchical system under a totalitarian global government. 
The international cartel gets a 10% cut of every deal made in Canada forever.  
Atleo, for a full recovery, go back to one mind generated by your women.  You and your corporate counterparts must resign your positions and your adherence to the genocidal Indian Act.   The traditional people will stand up our councils to bring peace to everyone. The illegal corporation of Canada will obey the law of the land.    
All Indigenous on the earth are shedding our corporate overlords and getting a booster shot from the Idle No more movements.  
Atleo should listen to Mick Jagger singing:  “Oh, help me, please doctor, I’m damaged.  There’s a pain where there once was a heart.  It’s sleepin’, it’s a’beatin’, can’t you please tear it out, and preserve it right there in that jar?” http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=STjASYx9a9k 

Hearts of Corporate  Chiefs.
