One question that I feel we should all be asking ourselves, "What are we
going to do about Canada voting against the Declaration on the Right of the
'First People'. Canada has a problem with us because of our birth rights to
the land and the natural resources on our territories that enables us to be
an Independent Nation. They not only don't want to recognize us as holding
title to the land, they do not want to compensate us for the land that has
been molested and stolen from us while they held a gun to our heads. And
"free prior and informed consent" to our people so that we are approached
and informed of any possible development on behalf of the governments plans
of building on the land/territories. By not signing, they are violating
International Law and standards regarding Human Rights.
Note: When one violates the law such as stealing your neighbor’s car. What
happens when one is caught ~ charged, convicted and sentenced! Could one not
say that they were borrowing it and had every intention on taking it back?
Whose to decide one is lying?
Well out of curiosity I am asking these questions, "Who holds Canada
accountable for theft? Who pays for their crimes of molestation? Who do they
think they are? A Nation? John Cretien said, "It is impossible to have a
Nation within a Nation meaning when Canada planted themselves in the middle
of Ottawa, we the First Nation did not say, "Canada can be a Nation" period.
Now we have a few years later Stephen Harper saying, "Quebec can be a Nation
within Canada." I don't know about anyone else but I am thinking what is a
Nation within a Nation, you either are or not. And never mind my thought;
"what about the fact that a head leader oops I said the bad word 'leader'
contradicts another? Did he forget who Crentien represented, 'the voting
citizens' no wonder their is lack of respect and disorder, the whole damn
Parliament is corrupted so corrupted that they forgot one lie after the
other and back paddling to stay afloat. I guess they two need to learn how
to go out and fish, cause it's not so much catching the fish its learning
how to stay in the center of the boat because if one leans too far one way,
the boat tips, so it’s a matter of staying focused.
As I look at the political movement I must say its very interesting to see
all the lies and manipulation unraveling before our very eyes. I sit here
with a smirk on my face as I hear mom’s very wise words, “When you lie, you
are only lying to yourself and sooner or later that lie will catch up to
you.” It may take 1 day, 1 month, one year or better yet 100 hundred years,
but it will come out. The truth will be known that it’s “Conspiracy to
Commit Genocide” as the government continues to strip away our people’s
identity through language, tradition and natural resources. They have
betrayed our forefathers where our Treaties alone are concerned. They are
not honoring who and what they represent, ‘The Crown’ as they have
obligations and when they are sworn in they take an oath to honor what and
whom they represent.
As for leader; when we first began the journey to reclaim what is rightfully
ours, the acting officials wanted us to say we had a leader amongst us. I am
reminding them that there are no leaders. We work independently together
according to our customs and traditions. To the outside laws of the
citizens, when a group of people gathered together, the government wants a
leader because they can say, “it’s organized crime” which “follows under the
terrorism act.” They want their people to believe that we are committing
acts of violence so they can put a final end to their plan, which is
“politically strip us of our identity.” So who holds these politicians
accountable? Where the voters in on this Master Plan? If it is not in the
job description who decides?
I am upset for the simple fact that Indian and Northern Affairs decided to
put my family and me under another Nation other than the one we are born
into. That alone is conspiring to change my identity as it takes away our
bloodline. The way it is set up, my family stops with my mother and we are
no longer who we are. But because of our family tree and our clan system we
know where we belong. So I ask another question, “Whose this left up to and
whose going to correct this?”
I am very ashamed of the RCMP for what they have done to our children once
again. They not only had a hand in kidnapping them, now they are trying to
kill them through pepper spray. Who gave this order, somebody did? Somebody
has to be held accountable for the many crimes that has and are committed
against our people. Therefore, I am asking. “Can we have a public inquiry
for we need answers as the time has come to put an end to the government
corruption so that we don’t have to feel we have to live in constant terror?
Is it I or is this downright Conspiracy? Under Canadian Law, the United
States authorities can request extradition of a Canadian Citizen using
trumped up and not to mention hearsay evidence before Canadian courts
through “Reasonable exception.” Here we go again with the double standard.
English name ‘Graham’ is already convicted. He doesn’t have a hope in hell.
In spite of all the evidence that says there is definite conspiracy through
not only one government but two; Canada and the United States both who have
and always will work together for the ‘Master Plan” to commit “Genocide.”
Although, Graham’s lawyer Terry Laiberte states after the BC Supreme Court
denied listening to, “a shadow of doubt.” As he says, “I’d drive a truck
through the holes in this case.” Sounds to me like they are using the same
tactics just to incarcerate one of our people that they feel threatened by
because their afraid the truth will be known that they the government is
operating under, “organized crime.” Once again I find myself asking one of
many questions. How many times do our people have to continue to suffer
because of our natural birth right as titleholders to the land? How many
times where people convicted only to later find out it was the wrong person
and that is what happens when one acts like God. Even in 1992, “fifty-five
Canadian MPS filed a brief to a U.S. court affirming that Canada has been
duped.” Are they going to do the same thing 6 years from now, “We once again
made a mistake.” Only Leonard is still in prison and that is not a little
mistake it is a man's life they stole. They robbed a child’s childhood when
they took their father and forced the family to believe that he is acting
like a cold-blooded killer when in fact, they who are guilty are the real
murders. I know that if Leonard or Graham killed anyone they would fess up
to it, I know because even as a woman I would stand up and tell the truth
just like Shawn Brant cause no matter what we don’t run and hide from
ourselves. That makes us less of a person and we carry that pride to be
honest respectful and peaceful people. And I will end with a few quotes of
Leonard Peltier my blood brother that I admire for staying strong and free
spirited who I hope to one day meet. Shawn Brant his words touched my heart
and I am there with all of our people no matter what. And Graham I will try
to do what I can to help although I never met any of you, I know who you are
because I too carry the scars of Genocide.
Leonard ~ “When we talk of sovereignty, we must be willing to solve our own
problems and not go running to the oppressor for relief… We have been and
still are at odds with the most dangerous, well-funded, strongest military
and political organization in the history of the world [the U.S.
government].”
Brant ~ “I believe we touched peoples hearts. I believe for the first time
in 125 years, people gave a s*** if our kids live or die.” And, “I hope they
don’t believe putting me in jail puts the issue in jail.”
Shawn is so right when he says, “it is about poverty, unresolved land claims
and high youth suicide.” I’d like to add the miscarriages through the
spraying of pesticides which reminds me that some of our people on Six
Nations was asked not to be sprayed even though or at least let the women
know so they can get our medicines out of the ground. Because they operate
as an arm to that system, we lost the medicines. The waters are so
contaminated in areas and because this is the only way our people can stay
alive without becoming dehydrated, we are forced to drink water that holds
so much contamination that our children are being born with fins. So tell
me if I am wrong to say, “Conspiracy to commit Genocide against us and is
that not a crime ‘organized crime? ”
Do we have a right to be angry? Yes but are we, No but we are hurt
Do we have a right to exist for who we are? Yes after all, the Creator put us here
Do we have a right to live the way we choose? According to
customs and traditions
Do we have a right to get in and steer ones boat? No
Do we have a right to control ones thoughts? No
Do we have a right to the land? Yes
Do we act out in a violent way? No in a
frustrated way
Do we hold children hostage? No
Do we massacre another race? No
Do we lie about our past? No
Do we promote peace? Yes
Do we honor what our forefathers gave us? Yes
Do we have any rights?
Birth Rights/Human Rights
Do we corrupt Mother Earth? No
Do we act like God? No
Nya weh
