>MNN.  March 30, 2006.  It is obvious that Ottawa is trying to push 
>pyradmidal pegs into round holes.  The colonial settlers refuse to accept 
>the fact that there are no Indian treaties giving them the right to control 
>Turtle Island.  They were supposed to stay in the Two Row Wampum agreement 
>and manage their own ship on the river where Indigenous canoes had traveled 
>freely since time immemorial.
>
>
>
>The settlers came from a culture where private ownership reigned.  They 
>belonged to a hierarchical society with a hereditary monarchy.  In their 
>social system those at the top of the heap had a better chance of survival. 
>  Those at the bottom lived in abject poverty and misery, often literally 
>held in place with iron chains.
>
>
>
>The social model of the Indigenous people of Turtle Island was completely 
>different.  We know that all people are equal.  Our model for social order 
>is circular.  There is no boss and there are no high places from which to 
>fall.  The only chains we know are those linking our arms together in 
>friendship. The word "chief" is not our word.  We have "royaner", which 
>means "he knows the path".  Our women are "Oyaner" which means "they know 
>the path".  The colonists always assumed that our society was like theirs.  
>They keep asking us, "Take me to your leader" like the lost Martians of 
>their imaginations.  We don't have leaders in our society.  Everybody 
>leads.
>
>
>
>No position in our culture is hereditary.  Everyone gains office through 
>processes of extensive consultation with the People.  When in office, no 
>one has authority over the people.  The clan mothers and the chiefs' job is 
>to facilitate the consultation process according to our constitution, the 
>Kaianereh'ko:wa.  They speak only on the decisions made by the People.
>
>
>
>Canadian society is frighteningly authoritarian and getting more so.  It is 
>run by people who make secret agreements without consulting the people.  
>They have secret weapons caches.  They do not hesitate to use them against 
>people with opinions different from theirs, especially if they are 
>Indigenous.
>
>
>
>Between 3000 and 4000 heavily armed troops surrounded Kanehsatake, 
>Kahnawake and Akwesasne in 1990.  At Gustafsen Lake (British Columbia) 
>77,000 rounds of ammunition were fired at a Sun Dance attended by only 26 
>Indigenous people, of whom the majority were women and very young children. 
>  At Ipperwash they killed Dudley George.  Recently at Kanehsatake a truck 
>full of high-powered armaments was brought in by secret government forces 
>who had a list of 55 people "to be taken out on sight".  Now police and 
>military are circling us at 5 of our Mohawk territories, including Six 
>Nations.
>
>
>
>Now the Canadian government sends in a unilaterally appointed mediator, 
>Michael Coyle, to talk at us.  His main focus is on how to "gently" 
>handcuff the women.  "I want to rape you, but I am not violent, eh!"  Is 
>this what his master's thesis was on?  Canadian people should be asking 
>some serious questions about the kind of government they are supporting.
>

>Jim Potts, the "Indian expert" organized the Aboriginal "mercenaries" hired 
>by the Canadian/Ontario governments to attack the Six Nations people on 
>March 22nd.  First he "We're not coming in".  Then he said, "No one is 
>going to get hurt".  They hired mercenaries to do their dirty work.  They 
>set up ambulances and cleared hospital wards to receive the wounded.  They 
>emptied jail cells and transferred prisoners from Brantford to Hamilton so 
>they could make room for the captives of their attack.  Does this sound 
>like they were planning a peaceful operation?
>
>
>
>Ottawa pretends to have a change of heart.  Coyle arrives without a gun on 
>his hip.  He's just a front man.  Our territories and perimeters are 
>crawling with undercover cops.  As if we can't recognize strangers in our 
>own neighborhood!  This is an attempt to apply force.  Flying army 
>helicopters over our homes, scaring our kids and elders, is very menacing.  
>Do Canadian communities have to put up with the menace of low flying army 
>helicopters?  No way.
>
>
>
>Mr. Henning of Henco Industries of the United States, is the squatter 
>trying to illegally build on our land.  He put a paid ad in the newspaper 
>saying, "This land is our land, this land is our land, this land was made 
>for (not you) just me".  Since when does a declaration in a newspaper 
>establish clear title?  Mr. Henning is relying on the misrepresentation 
>that Ontario can give him title to our land.  Is Ontario trying to help the 
>Americans colonize Canada?  So, with his new court order, the OPP are 
>acting as the private army of this private American corporation!
>
>
>
>The bottom line is that if Canada sincerely wants to negotiate a peaceful 
>solution, they should call off their dogs and cowboys.  Send in their real 
>representatives for nation-to-nation consultations and negotiations.  There 
>could then be an orderly settlement based on an orderly investigation of 
>the facts and an orderly identification of the laws that apply.  Then the 
>laws can be applied based on the facts.  The reason Canada doesn't want to 
>do this is because it knows full well when the process is complete, the 
>facts will clearly show they have illegally invaded our land.  They are the 
>illegal occupiers of our land just like at Ipperwash.
