Confederacy responds to notice of action in 4.4 trillion dollar lawsuit

GRAND RIVER OF THE SIX NATIONS TERRITORY ~ It is with deep concern and
regret that the Six Nations Rotiienehson (Confederacy Council)issue this
notice to the  people of Six Nations and to the public in general.

The Haundenosaunee Six Nations Confederacy Council strives to work  in
unity with all of the people of the Six Nations and our member nations  to
continue to protect our land rights, including those within the  Haldimand
Treaty of October 25, 1784.

The Confederacy Council has received widespread support from the Six
Nations Community, including Six Nations Elected Administrative
Council.

It is unfortunate when a few individuals misrepresent themselves as  a
nation and 'stewards' of the land. It is clear that this is an attempt  to
derail the ongoing negotiations as well as an obvious attempted "cash
grab." This attempt will not be successful.

So it is with the deepest regret that the Confederacy must respond  to a
matter that is outside our law and our treaties. We can state without any
doubt that the 'claims' made in the Notice  of Action dated February 14,
2007 are false, untrue and based upon a  distorted and misguided agenda.

As everyone is also aware the Ontario Superior Court of Justice does  not
have any jurisdiction over the Haundenosaunee Six Nations Confederacy
Council and/or lands prescribed by the Haldimand Proclamation of 1784. We
also wish to express our support to those hardworking individuals  who
have been arbitrarily named in this frivolous Notice of Action. A  number
of Six Nations citizens from all of our member nations have come forward
at their own expense and time, and volunteered their expertise to provide
help to the leadership of Six Nations. To these people we express our
deepest gratitude by saying Nya:weh and encouragement to continue. We urge
those individuals (Curtis Hill aka Ellis Hill, Deb Springle,  Derek
Lickers, Gertrde Miller aka Trudy Miller, Melissa Miller, Trevor  Miller,
Angel Smith, Leah Brant) who are attempting to "hack at the  white roots
of peace" to realize that they alone are responsible for their  choices
and must live with the consequences as well.
We, once again, urge all factions to set aside their differences and
strive to work in harmony as our Great Law guides us.
        Leroy Hill (Cayuga sub-chief)
        Secretary, Confederacy Council

With this I would like to add at last nights meeting at Polytec where I
attended last nights emergency community meeting, Trudy Miller
attended as well and addressed the listeners that "her or
her family are not a part of this lawsuit of 4.4 trillion dollars and is
upset that they ~ (meaning Mohawk Stewards) used her family this way."
