Greetings from Grand River

Thought i'd better give an update on the land reclaimation at Six Nations. Things are very quiet around the camp. Maybe too quiet? 

I've been very busy trying to ensure that messages are being relayed to all parties, working closely with the clanmothers on the site in keeping the peace, getting paperwork together and meeting with the delegates of the "negotiating team" to ensure that the voice of the people is being heard.

Here's an update. 

Yesterday, there was a meeting with opp, prov, fed, elective band council reps, traditional council reps (delegated chiefs and clanmothers), as well as delegates from the site. From what i understand there were a couple of things put to the government for consideration.

Government officials are still trying to get the road opened (hwy#6 running through caledonia in front of site). Alan MacNaughton reminded them of Oka, and how even though talks were happending, the road was opened, they still moved the army in. trust issues!!! 

Some of the clanmothers talked about our health and welfare, the land, the water etc. the daughter of one of the delegates in attendance talked about the good changes that are happening to our people, she shared about a friend of hers who was into drugs and alcohol, and how since he started helping out at the site, has not had the desire for such. pretty much small talk.

Today the developers lawyer was at the table. he wanted his clients files and computer from the site. he was interviewed later and shown on national tv that the compensation that the government provided to his clients WAS NOT a buy out. it was intended to cover some of the losses that they have suffered since the "occupation". He was quoted as saying that they fully intend on finishing the 300 proposed houses on the site.

The henning brothers themselves were interviewed and told "don't worry Caledonia, we'll be back building the houses within 2 weeks". Wonder what he knows huh!

In light of that statement, i thought i'd better share some other observations i have been making.

Last Friday night when the residents of caledonia were rallying, they handed out flyers with "KKK" jargon and pictures telling caledonia that the next rally they're to "wear your best sheets". While it could be just another attempt at getting us to respond, my concern is more historical in nature. i am told that when that happened in Chateagauy in 1990, it wasn't long after that the army rolled in. Just an observation so if you're talking to canada, let them know "the eye of the eagle is upon them, and to govern themselves accordingly!".

There has been definite attempts to discredit, plant evidence etc. at the site, but i give credit to our men who are doing an awsome job with security. they see a situation, they deal with it immediately, if they require the women's help, we do so together. It is really a wonderful display of respect with each other and for the Law.

There was another people's meeting tonight, i was not able to attend but sent a recorder in, so hopefully i will be sending out another "minutes of meeting" to all so they can keep abreast of what is happening.

Past band council land's researcher Phil Monture was making a presentation tonight, and even according to "Canadian law" he say's the town of caledonia is definitely unceded. So i hope that the people who were talking about relocation of us "indians" will consider their own options when the time comes.

I must be tired cause normally i keep a good mind so forgive my indulgence in "back atcha" statements. at least one helicopter overhead today. Dick immediately called opp to remind them of our 'no-fly' zone. There was also a weird looking plane (glider) above. not too sure what that was about. OPP representative Ron George insists there is no army that they've called in, the rcmp have moved back. But don't you think if they seriously wanted to look at this situation they'd send their opp home too?

As far as the people are concerned, their options are simple. STOP THE CONSTRUCTION. Then we'll talk.

Would make life easier on everyone. I've always said, life is simple, it's people who make it complicated. 

On a more serious note, we have had a company known for its work in "dowsing" wells and graves to the site last week. they are coming back to the site tomorrow to meet with the people designated to pursue the area of graves. Estimated 3700 - 3800 bodies in the lands. there is also a team (?) of archelogical people, professors? Coming from Trent University tomorrow with whatever research maps etc. They have on this particular land as well.

Interestingly enough, after the dowsing company was in over a week ago, one of our local elders, Earl MacNaughton who is also familar with the practice walked the site accompanied by a couple of the onondaga clan. without any knowledge of the other companies report, he pretty much said the same thing. henceforth, we are bringing them together for a conference.

Alan MacNaughton did put it to the government that they should pay for one of those sonar(?) machine's that travels over land to determine where graves are (should have already been done by henco), and we will be proceeding with that. 

Rest assured that we will not allow any digging or excavating of the site. we just want to be able to mark it out so that we aren't disrespecting the resting places of our ancestors. Iknow that there are some under the road that henco has built as well as more than likely where some of the houses were built already. We are also taking care of our ancestors spiritually and they know we are looking after them, and we know they are looking after us. 

Talks will resume tommorrow as far as the "preliminary" discussion and i myself am concerned more over the "who" is sitting at the table. no sense talking to opp, prov., feds etc. they really need to show more respect to the nation to nation dialogue we have insisted upon. 

Some good news.

David Maracle from Tyendinage and a slew of other "native musicians" want to do a benefit concert on June 17th (tentative). a soon as it goes through the people we will confirm. so keep your calendar marked and let your voice be heard if you think it's a good idea.

I was also told that the wampum was sent from council this past saturday to call a grand council so if you've heard, let me know, cause i was a bit confused as to whether it did or didn't pass through council. the people have been asking for it since we started so it will be good if they finally called one.

I tried to call Doreen Silversmith to see how her presentation went to the UN but was unable to reach her, so i will be forwarding a copy of the message she delivered on our behalf tomorrow.

I'm working out of three computers and still can't figure out how to get all the same information into one. sorry, i'm a bit illiterate when it comes to technical stuff. BUT, i do have it on the laptop and will forward from the site tommorrow.

I'm meeting with the dowsing team tomorrow at 1:00 and will send further updates from the site tomorrow. 

As i've said, things are quiet and the message hasn't changed. we're staying. the land is ours.

And i want to remind everyone of you how important your help and support has been throughout all of this. keep the e-mails going. keep the prayers going. i can assure you that we do not intend on rushing into anything. like Karl VanEvery said, lets make them wait 200 years.

Good nite all. hazel 

  Renewed Urgent Action, Six Nations, on behalf of the Traditional Haudenosaunee Chiefs

  April 25, 2006

  Mrs. Louise Arbor, High Commissioner for Human Rights,
  Mr. Rodolfo Stavenhagen, Special Rapporteur on
  The rights of Indigenous Peoples;
  Geneva, Switzerland
  By Fax and email
  High Commissioner: c/o Julian Berger, [41-22] 917-9010
  S/R Stavenhagen: c/o Pablo Espiniella, [41-22] 917-9008

  Urgent Action: 6 Nations protest on disputed lands and the potential for violence
  Ontario, Canada

  Dear Ms. Arbor and Mr. Stavenhagen,

  Please receive our respectful greetings.

  The International Indian Treaty Council files this urgent communication on behalf of the traditional Haudenosaunee Chiefs concerning a volatile and potentially life threatening situation in the Province of Ontario, Canada.

  We urgently request the use of Good Offices of the High Commissioner for Human Rights, Ms. Arbor, and to work with the Rapporteur for a peaceful resolution of this potentially life threatening conflict. Recalling his recent visit to Canada, we also urgently request that the Special Rapporteur on Indigenous Human Rights exercise the urgent action capacity of his mandate in this matter.

  In the early morning of Wednesday, April 19, 2006, at about 4:30 am, Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) moved in on Indigenous protestors occupying land in dispute near Caledonia, Ontario, Canada. The occupation, of over 60 days as of this writing, was begun by clan mothers and others as a protest against the taking of these ancestral lands.

  Apparently, negotiations were ongoing with the Traditional Haudenosaunee Chiefs until late Monday, April 17, but that the talks broke off, with the government refusing to recognize the Traditional Chiefs, even though the elected Council voted to authorize the Traditional Haudenosaunee Confederacy Chiefs as the negotiators.

  We are informed and press reports indicate that on Wednesday, April 19, the OPP descended in large numbers (reportedly in the hundreds) on the Indigenous protestors, many of them women, threatening them with drawn weapons, using tazers (electric shock weapons), beating many of the protestors. As word spread of the unprovoked attack by the OPP many other Indigenous people from the Reserve (within sight of the disputed lands) and the surrounding area, also came to the site and a larger clash erupted. The now large crowd of several hundred people finally allowed the OPP to leave with 16 people under arrest, again, many of them clan mothers and women. We are not informed of the charges against them or of their status. We are also informed that several Ontario Police were also injured in the clash.

  We are now informed that the Royal Canadian Mounted Police has taken over from the OPP and as of Friday, April 21, 2006, begun to negotiate with the Traditional Chiefs of the Haudenosaunee, who have been charged with the resolution of this action. But we are still concerned about the potential for violence. We are reminded of past occupations of disputed lands in Canada that led to a great deal of violence on the part of the police. At one occupation, for example, at Ipperwash Camp, also in Ontario, on September of 1995, the OPP killed an unarmed Indigenous man, Dudley George.

  The land in question was deeded to the Six Nations in 1774 by the English, in recognition of the Six Nations support during the American revolutionary war. In this case, the protest was brought on by the development on the land of a large (600 home) housing project, of which 10 houses have already been built. The land in question has been in dispute since 1829.

  Again, we urgently request the Good Offices of the High Commissioner in conjunction with the active engagement of the Special Rapporteur on Indigenous Human Rights, to assist in bringing about a peaceful resolution of this conflict and the underlying and legitimate claim for the ancestral lands of the Six Nations Peoples.

  If you have any questions or comments, please do not hesitate to communicate them to us at any of telephone numbers or email address in the letterhead.

  For all our relations,

  Alberto Saldamando
  General Counsel
  International Indian Treaty Council

    On gwa ho weh land rights

    April 27, 2006

    Sano (Hello) my name is Jacqueline House, Cayuga Turtle from Six Nations
    I am a spokesperson Re: Haldimand Estates aka Douglas Creek Estates.
    interviewed on http://auto_sol.tao.ca

    I am pleased to say this path has been overwhelming as we see the many
    new faces rising to say, "we too want to be heard". It is an International
    matter and concerns all of us. Far too long have we kept you in the dark.
    But our Ancestors once said, "you will know when we had enough"! and today
    we had enough. Also it was seen that a generation will rise and their voices
    will be heard and we are that generation. We couldn't have come as far as
    we are today without the help from all of you. Nya weh (Thank you)

    Now is the time to tell our story, Canada has made no attempt in telling you the
    truth, as they not only speak to us with a fork tongue, but you fellow Canadians
    as well. 

    The Canadian Government has been keeping secrets and I am about to
    share some of those secrets with you.

    I speak with truth and honesty, the gifts the Creator has giving to me and my people.
    No longer can we stand back and
    allow ourselves to be molested by the Government and no longer allow our
    Ancestors to built upon.

    It saddens our people when we see Prudent Developers
    such as Henco uproot our Ancestors as if they are nothing. 

    They have set this
    path for us and we must honour them and look after them as they have looked
    after us so long ago when they signed the Treaties. It is up to us to uphold them
    and see that Canada honours them. 

    They not only go against us but the late
    King George the Third as well. Canada owes the world the truth, how they illegally
    imposed upon our people with their ways and laws as we never asked for it. 

    We honoured our word when we said we would never try steering their vessel and when we buried our weapons of war and made Peace and to date we still honour them. That is the difference between our laws and the government laws.

    Words from #12 School, Council Fire Book, Code of Handsome Lake, Janice Switlo, the Life and Death of Anna Mae Aquash, Toronto Star, CBC News, and put together by Jacqueline House

    8 Points of Jurisdiction:
    1. Installation of Chiefs
    2. The Great Law
    3. Membership
    4. Treaties
    5. Land
    6. Ceremonies
    7. Justice/Law
    8. International Relationships (Peace, Commerce, Taxation)

    Installation of Chiefs:

    The Cheifs interpreted this belt to the Governor General of Canada in 1890.
    "And if any man or Chiefs were to go through outside where these men stands
    in form of a circumference, then the emblem of his Chiefship strikes on their
    arms and fall from him, thus it remains within the circumference... so he is
    nothing but a man , no more Chief any longer but how does he go through well
    that is if he receives the laws of other nations to be governed by it accordingly".

    The Great Law:

    When the War of the American Revolution shook the Tree of Peace and resulted in many Mokhawks and others of the League establishing themselves at the Grand River Territory, most of the fundamental wampum records remained at Onondaga.

    However, several belts were placed with the Onondaga Chief's at the Grand River, including important League Constitutional wampums and several records of Treaties with the British Crown and its representatives. The government of the Confederacy is symbolized by the circle wampum, an entwined circle of pure white the color denoting peace and purity, with its fifty Chiefs, and the binding matter in which they are brought together around a central fire. The circle is an emblem of the unbroken continuity of the law. The circle protects those within it. It also acts as a barrier to those outside it. The laws and government of the Confederacy became a barrier to the application of foreign laws to the people and institutions of the Confederacy.

    The Two Row Wampum:

    Symbolizes the two governments, namely the British a government and the
    Haudensaunee. The two rows symbolize two vessels traveling down the same river
    together, neither interfering in the course of the other. An important reason we
    were to remain in our own canoe is because our canoe is fragile and the British
    did not understand our rules and will upset ours.

    A second enduring symbol of the relations between the Confederacy and the Crown, Sir William Johnson included a personal seal: the Silver Covenant Chain. In the seal, it is shown as a circular chain which six shirtless arms and one with a shirt and coat (presumably his own) are grasping. The Covenant Chain had its origins early in the relations between the Confederacy and the Europeans. Both parties engaged to keep the ends of it fast in their hands; that they would take care to keep it from breaking, or from getting any rust or filth upon it. That they would be as one flesh and blood so that if any enemies should intend to hurt or strike one party, the other should immediately give notice, rise up and help him, and that a good road should always be kept open between them". Note: Meanwhile, the United States were intent on breaking the power and pride of the Confederacy. They deliberately ignored Council procedure; the purpose was not assimilation but attack:
    In 1784, in order to press the diplomatic attack more effectively, the federal
    representatives adopted a more conscious policy of destroying, corrupting our leaders, and subverting or political system- Indian and Northern Affairs as a device of Psycholical Warfare, to break down our morale. This attitude was to be broken by constantly treating us as inferiors, as a dependent minority group, trying to constantly force us to adopt their ways of law. As Quoted by James Duane, "their very existence as a political unit was to be denied." and he "would never suffer the word nation or Six Nations, or Confederacy, or Council Fire atOnondago". Or any other form which would revive or seem to confirm our ideas of independence to escape.

    The Code of Handsome Lake: 

    Part of the Social System a Seneca Prophet and Teacher of 1735
    1794 - his name appears on a Treaty but whether he took active part is unknown.
    Handsome Lake holds up a beacon of hope for the people. He merely proclaimed the Gai wiio and that is what we follow today, not him but the Creator.
    Our religion is not one of paint and feathers; it is a thing of the heart - Who can
    change it? The Creator made this sunshine feeling a new hope.
    Night - to live through it to see another day Warmth brings life
    The Beings - "He who created the world at the beginning employed us to come to
    earth. From the earth comes our medicines of life.

    Membership:

    Confederacy - The people

    Confederacy Council - Clanmother - Who carries the peoples voices
    Chiefs - Our voices are heard through them

    Women - protectors of the land
    Men - protects the women and children

    Treaty:
    Is a binding. legal agreement between two or more sovereign nations and has
    existed as long as we have existed amongst nation to nation. The Treaties are made because of the need for mutual understanding and agreement and relate to;

    1. Peace and Friendship
    2. Military Alliance
    3. Boundaries
    4. Trade

    Through the Land comes Peace and Harmony:

    We acquired our lands because of the Military Alliance, which guaranteed our
    Independence (Sovereignty) as Allies to the Crown, establishing them through Peace.
    Our Treaties guarantees our relationship. We are not resigned to a mere historical
    role.The Treaties are the fundamental constitutional documents for the existence
    of Canada (and the United States). Their permissions remain necessary for Canada to exist; this means - The Treaties must be; HONOURED, RESPECTED, and ENFORCED.
    Note: We have never broken any Treaties!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Ceremonies ~ Council Fire Book
    Ceremony of Condolence, where exchanging wampum strings, using our language that they now learned how to use. The Peacemaker was the first to use the wampum when he condoled Hiawatha over the deaths of his daughters. It is said that the Peacemaker made short strings of beads from the shells of river calms as a way of preserving the memory of his soothing words, which became the core of every ceremony of condolence to this day.

    Note: Wampum is a record, a pledge, a ceremonial thing that acquired a value which could not be traded.

    Code of Handsome Lake (Seneca Teacher and Prophet of 1735)
    Held up a beacon of hope with his divine message, the Gai wiio creating a new system to fasten our hopes. He merely proclaimed the Gai wiio and that is what we follow, not him but the Creator. Our religion is not one of paint or feathers, it is a thing of the heart - Who can change it?

    The Creator made this sunshine feeling a new hope.
    Night- to live through it to see another day.
    Warmth brings life.
    The Beings - "He who created the world at the beginning employed us to come to earth.
    From the earth comes our medicine, trees, food to feed our families, and the blanket for when we have to place our loved ones into the ground.

    Justice
    If any head of state feel they can ignore a Treaty and allow the government to threaten the Peace, by doing so, is the most serious International Matter and concerns all of us.
    This requires the Protectorate Obligations of Her Majesty to step in. This commitment - She is still bound by.

    International Relationships:
    Royal Proclamation of 1763 King George the Third; His intent was to protect us under His protection regarding our hunting grounds, which is the land and we should not be molested or disturbed on our lands.

    Canadian Constitution Act of 1982, Section 25
    Charter of Rights and Freedoms p[roviodes that it shall not be construed so as to erode
    Aboriginal (On gwa ho weh - True People) and Treaty Rights or rights assured under the Royal Proclamation.

    1886 - Constitution Act recognizes and affirms this!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    International Relationship
    We practised a variety of forms and systems of government, establishing Treaties and Alliances among tribes and nations and engaged in trade along extensive routes reaching from east to west. We distinguished our identity through ontogenetic, succession, custom and law, utilizing symbols of power, establishing methods of leadership, continuity and treated on trade, land and international relationship.

    1774 - 13 Colonies came together

    Granted in 1784, the Haldimand Deed through King George III and Sir Frederick Haldimand;
    6 miles on either side, from mouth to source of the Grand River. As long as the sun shines, the river flows and the grass grows!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    Note: This give us True Title Holders of the Land!

    1794 - 20 years later after the colonies came together. Jay Treaty Border Crossing giving On gwa ho weh the right to pass.

    Registered with the Public Archives, March 20, 1795, by Wm Jarvis

    1830's - Council records were written in Mohawk or English.

    1840-1870-1884 - Readings of the wampums were documents by John Buck, Onondaga Chief Skanawati with the wampums kept at the Grand River.

    Certified by the Provincial Registrar's Office in Quebec, March 23, 1862
    Stated - Mohawk Nation and such others of the Six Nations Indians as wish to settle upon the banks of the Grand River commonly called Ouse or Grand River running into Lake Erie

    1871 - Wampums were taken.

    1880 - Dayodekane (Seth Newhouse) was instructed by Chiefs to put in writing an authorities version on the history and constitution of the Confederacy.

    June 18, 1887 - Submitted by Six Nations Council to Canada - NO SURRENDER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    May 16, 1911 - Presented to the Deputy Superintendent General of Indian Affairs, the history and constitution of the Confederacy.

    1800's - Conservative Government of Sir John A. MacDonald gave Indians the right to vote in
    Canadian Federal elections, and in 1885 attaching our sovereignty.

    1812 - War against the United States, we fought well as the King's Allies. After the war Levi General (Deskaheh) travelled to Britain and Switzerland to seek support and recognition for the Confederacy, irritating Canada sending in the RCMP on our Territory (Six Nations) in 1920, a move which the Confederacy protested as an armed invasion Indian Agent Colonel Morgan, began to impose the existing laws on our people he considered oppenents of his power.
    Canada appointed a Commission of Inquiry under Major Andrew Thompson.

    1922- Evelyn Johnson placed the wampum belts in the museum.

    September 17, 1924 - an order was passed to establish as elective system (Six Nations Band Council)

    October 10, 1924 - Before the election Morgan and Hilton broke into David Sky's house for the wampum belts, but failed to seize all the wampum belts, and he
    failed to destroy the Confederacy Council, and they continue to hold
    monthly meetings to date.

    became the first elected Chief Councillor.

    May 1988 - Elected Chief Councillor Bill Montour presented the stolen 6 wampum strings that were seized in 1924.

    1989 - The Royal Ontario Museum in Toronto was asked for the return of four belts and six strings which are the property of the Confederacy.

    Note: Bringing home the wampum accentuates a duty of the Confederacy, not only to preserve the past, but to use its lessons for the future, and remind the people of their laws and their proper path as it closes the circle and opens others.
    For the Confederacy, the issue is more simply recovering sacred objects and symbols and used properly and carefully, restores harmony sharpens purpose, heals division, teaches knowledge. And peace achieved through knowledge and power, is what the Confederacy is all about.

    Wounded Knee:
    1968 - the American Indian Movement (AIM) is founded in Minneapolis, Minnesota.

    October 1972 - AIM and other On gwa ho weh groups organize the Trail of Broken Treaties Caravan to Washingto D.C. and then occupy the headquarters of the Bureau of Indian Affairs there.

    February 27, 1972 - AIM supporters begin a 71 day occupation of the village of Wounded Knee with OSCRO (Oglala Sioux Civil Rights Organization).

    April 1973 - Anna Mae Aquash journey to Wounded Knee and there she married Nogeeshik on April 12th.

    May 8, 1973 - The Wounded Knee Occupation ends.

    September-October 1974 - The On gwa ho weh Caravan reaches Ottawa.

    January-June 1975 - There is an increase of violence and murder on the Pine Ridge Territory. The FBI was on the lookout for informants to turn
    the Nations on each other.

    February 24, 1976 - The body of Anna Mae Aquash is found near Wanblee, South Dakota.

    Note: Years have passed since the shocking story of Anna Mae. The recent support for imprisoned Indian rights activist Leonard Peltier reminds us once more of the unsolved and almost forgotten case of Ms. Aquash.
    In February 1976, the murdered body of this thirty-one year old Mic Mac from Nova Scotia was found on the Pine Ridge, South Dakota, the same troubled Territory which seven months earlier spawned the murder charges against Leonard peltier. Both incidents have raised serious concerns with respect to the FBI's role in crushing legitimate On gwa ho weh dissent and attempting to break AIM.

    They raise as well major questions regarding the Canadian justice system and its relationship with the FBI in these cases.
    Anna Mae was shot in the back of the head cowardly!

    1990 - 78 standoff between the Canadian Government and the Mohawks of Kanasatake.
    Politicians announced they planned to expand their golf course again over our
    Ancestors graves and disrupt Mother Nature. Land dispute extends back nearly
    300 years. In 1717, Louis XV of France granted 150 square miles of land surrounding OKA Sulpician Missionaries when the land wasn't his to grant. Corporal Leney refused to become involved.

    August 8, 1990 - Priemier Robert Bourassa called Canadian Military.

    August 29, 1990 - 4000 Soldiers deployed to the area.

    September 18, 1990- Soldiers raided the Longhouse searching for weapons causing violence among the people. Seventy-five Mohawk were injured or gases.
    Note: The Quebec Government refused to negotiate.

    September 26, 1990 - The Progreeivative Conservative Party suffered the worst defeat in Canadian electoral history. Kim Campbell was defeated in her own
    Constituency - To date - Not Resolved!

    1995- The Shooting that ended our brothers life by law enforced officers;Dudley George at Ipperwash, once again it revolves around the stealing of our Land Rights by the government!

    A half century old land rights dispute exploded on Stoney Point Territory going back into 1924. It was war time and the Federal Government expropriated land belonging to Stoney Point. They needed to build a military camp. Shortly after the war ended, the Department of Defence said it was willing to return most of the land as long as it could lease back what is still needed for military base. The offer was later withdrawn.
    1972 - Jean Chretien waited patiently for the federal of Minister of Indian Affairs but no word as tension was building.

    1993- Still no resolution.
    Note: In the meantime Stoney Point On gwa ho weh were trying to get the land back because it contained a burial ground destroyed when the camp was built.

    September 1995 - the Military withdrew, defence Minister James Richardson, Stoney Point should be offered another piece of land and be compensated.

    September 6, 1995 -It is believed Premier Mike Harris ordered a night attack saying, "I want the f****** Indians out of the park," sending in the OPP.

    Today we are faced with Land Rights at Six Nations because the government doesn't want to recognize us and fess up to the wrong doings of them to our people, "True Title Holders of the LAND!" For those of you that don't know here is a little story lesson of our inherent rights to the land, and why we don't pay taxes.

    to be continued with the Haldimand Deed
