Mohawk Nation News 'Repossession Reminder'


MNN: REPOSSESSION REMINDER

REPOSSESSION REMINDER 
MNN. Feb. 14, 2013. To all citizens of the US and Canada, this is notice that we are taking back all our lands, resources and control over our ever growing Indian Trust Fund. 
We will decide when to renegotiate the agreements under which the settlers can live with us or leave Great Turtle Island. 
Our time is here.
According to international law, US and Canada must respect our sovereignty and jurisdiction. The Corporations of US and Canada and all their entities, the military and the media are nullities. The law of the land, Kaianerehkowa, is the only law in effect.
“Ms. Knockwood, I’ll scrub the bathroom, wash the floors, then do the windows”.

"M'am, I'll scrub the bathroom, wash the floors, then do the windows".The Congress of Indigenous Women and the Council of Chiefs will resume governing over all colonially imposed states. The Council of Elders will reinvigorate true traditional government. 
Guidelines:
1. Indian-time will go into effect immediately. 
2. The White House will be the Elders’ Center. Parliament will be a meeting place for the Council of Chiefs. The Congress of Indigenous Women will meet in Congress in Washington DC. Peoples meetings will be the basis of government.
3. All governors’ mansions, prime Minister’s residences, presidential palaces and other colonial habitations will be turned over to the homeless.
4. Indigenous languages will be the official means of communication. The continents, towns, cities, businesses, streets, etc. will be renamed by the Indigenous people of the region.
5.Healing centres will be set up to treat all settlers for their addiction to all colonially induced psycho illnesses.
6. Educational study groups will be established to help people learn the meanings of such egalitarian concepts as “constitution”, “rule of law”, “sovereignty”, “peace”, “equality”, “tolerance”, “respect”, “honesty”, “repossession”.
7. All colonial borders will be erased. Original Indigenous names will be reinstated.
8.Hierarchies will be leveled. No aristocracy and no super rich. Everyone has to work. Self-sufficient communities will replace globalization.
9. Traditional clothing will not be called “costumes” or “regalia”.
10.Police, prosecutors, judges, social workers, tax collectors and dog catchers will be abolished. Old technologies will be revived.
Trick or Treaty!
Trick or Treaty!
11.Hunting and fishing will be based on need. Sports hunting and fishing will be banned. Zoos will be closed down. Animals will be set free and helped to return to their natural habitat.
12. Hollywood will be renovated. 
13.Indigneous names, nations or images of sports teams will be discontinued.
14.Disrespectful terms on merchandising will be banned.

15.July 4, Canada Day, Columbus and all White heroe worship days will be banned. Halloween will be a national holiday. Indigenous will have days off work to visit relatives and follow the pow-wow trail. Statues of murderous colonizers will be torn down. A holocaust memorial to the 125 million murdered Indigenous will be erected in Washington DC and Ottawa.  
Hey, Harper, ding, dong, hi ho, hahaha.
Hey, Harper, ding, dong, hi ho, and all that!
You will be following the roots of peace to equality and freedom.  As the Munchkins sang in “The Wizard of Oz”: “Ding dong, the witch is dead. Which old witch? The wicked witch. Ding, dong, the witch is dead. Wake up, you sleepy head”.  Follow the yellow brick road which leads to the white roots. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PHQLQ1Rc_Js

Terrance Nelson 'Hollywood on Climate Change'

Mr. Corcoran,
You wrote in your article yesterday
Hollywood stars — Alec Baldwin, Ed Norton, Yoko Ono — are backing the Sierra Club’s call for a march on Washington next weekend, “the largest climate rally in U.S. history.” Under the “Forward on Climate” banner, the target is clear in the Sierra Club’s marching call: “The first step to putting our country on the path to addressing the climate crisis is for President Obama to reject the Keystone XL tar sands pipeline.”

TEMPE, Arizona -- Navajos spoke out against dirty coal at the Salt River Project, operator of the Navajo Generating Station, one of the dirtiest coal-fired power plants in the US, during the Ash Wednesday Mob Protest. It was initiated by the Arizona Interfaith Power and Light Organization.
Marshall Johnson, Navajo environmental advocate and co-founder of  To Nizhoni Ahni (Beautiful Water Speaks), was invited to speak to a non-Native audience. He gave a startling backdrop to the social and environmental injustices stemming from coal mined on his ancestral land- Black Mesa which feeds the Navajo Generating Station with coal.  
Because of Navajo and Hopi coal, the state of Arizona and Maricopa county reap a $160 billion economy while an egregious disparity exists on Navajo land. 
The majority of the attendees were not aware of the startling statistics and the inequities before.

White House arrests to stop Keystone XL pipeline Feb. 13, 2013

Marty Cobenais, Red Lake Ojibway (top photo) of the Indigenous Environmental Network:
"This morning, these 48 people marched to the White House, and engaged in civil disobedience to stop the Keystone XL tar sands pipeline.
Some are ranchers. Some are religious leaders. Others are leaders of environmental organizations. Some have the pipeline in their back yard. They sat, they locked themselves to the fence -- but they all had one message:
Stop. This. Pipeline. SHARE this if you stand with them."

Arrests today: Landowners, business leaders, frontline communities, ranchers, Indigenous people, gulf coast residents, movement leaders and celebrities sit-in at White House to stop Keystone XL.
Joshua Kahn Russell said earlier today, "Julian Bond, former head of NAACP head getting arrested now. First time in Sierra Club's 120 year history that they are participating in Civil Disobedience. Landowners, Native Americans, Students, Frontline Community Members, Business Leaders, Organization CEOs, Celebs all risking arrest to stop Keystone XL."

GMO Indian waiting to be discovered
MNN. Feb. 13, 2013. On February 12 Senator Brazeau went into the Senate Chambers in Ottawa looking like a grease ball, a disposable victim of the GMO Indian system! The government procurers are always casting around for naive young Indigenous blood. They take our young Indigenous, turn them into betrayers and then throw them away like a Bic Lighter. They let them drive Porsches and live high for a while. Then they pull the rug out from under them and like Joseph Brant, they die alone. Unless, of course, they change their ways.
