[Indigsol] Statement on 2 women attacked by Canada Border Agents at Cornwall Ontario

[orakwa]

STATEMENT OF PEOPLE CONCERNED ABOUT 
THE RIGHTS OF TWO WOMEN WHO WERE 

BRUTALLY ASSAULTED AND PHYSICALLY 

HARMED BY CANADA BORDER SERVICES 

AGENTS 

 

Cornwall.  July 15, 2008.  On June 14th 2008 

Katenies and Kahentinetha - who are both writers 

and contributors to Mohawk Nation News [MNN  

www.mohawknationnews.com] - were handcuffed and tackled 

to the ground at the Cornwall border checkpoint. 

The Canada Border Services agents acted as though 

they had lost control of themselves, or they had no 

regard for legal propriety.  Neither woman did 

anything wrong.  The attacks were unprovoked but 

seem to have been directed by whoever was at the 

other end of the cell phone.    



Katenies was jailed and held incommunicado for 

three days. Kahentinetha suffered a heart attack 

and is under the care of her doctors and her family.  

Because of her condition Kahentinetha cannot go 

to court to support Katenies.  



Katenies demands respect for herself, for anyone 

who asserts Kanion'ke:haka jurisdiction and 

condemns Canada's illegal border.  The charges 

against her are false and vindictive.  The Ontario 

court is public.  Anyone who believes in the rule 

of law and condemns the brutal attacks on these 

women and many others is welcome to stand with 

her at: 

Ontario Provincial Court, 29 - 2nd Street West, 

Cornwall Ontario, 9:00 a.m. Mon. July 14, 2008 



Legal actions will need to be taken to protect our 

rights.  We have no funds.  Canada is hiring costly 

law firms to defend their illegal actions and suppress 

our rights.  If you can donate anything to our cause, 

it will be greatly appreciated.  Send it to:  "MNN 

Mohawk Nation News", Box 991, Kahnawake 

[Quebec, Canada] J0L 1B0.  Nia:en/Thank you very 

much.
