SUPPORTERS ASKED TO STAND BY! SIX NATIONS TALKS BREAK DOWN – CANADA REFUSES TO RESPECT SIX NATIONS BAND COUNCIL VOTE AND SNUBS PEOPLE - OPP SAYS "YOU ONLY HAVE HOURS LEFT"
April 19, 2006
We are asking our brothers, sisters, friends and allies to continue
to stand by and support us if and when OPP come in. Please do
everything you can to stop this before it happens. There is a big
OPP buildup, with forces coming in from Hamilton and surrounding
cities. Paddy wagons are already here.
MNN. Tuesday, April 18th, 2006. 3:15 pm.
At 2:00 pm, on Tuesday, April 18th, the Six Nations Iroquois
Confederacy, Onondaga Longhouse, stated Canada absolutely refuses to
address the land issue with Confederacy chiefs. It is a 200 year
old outstanding land claim of the Six Nations. This is the 50th day
of the standoff. Protesters have stopped Henco Industries from
building an illegal housing development on their land. The
Confederacy has proposed a peaceful lawful resolution.
Canada only wants to deal with the Indian Act band council they
illegally enforced on the territory. In 1924 Canada sent in the
RCMP to violently depose the legitimate Confederacy council. They
seem to be planning the same tactics again. The 1924 armed invasion
was a military coup implemented by the Canadian government using the
RCMP. They say it was a declaration of war. The OPP coming onto
our territory is a declaration of war again. Under our law, the
Kaianereh'ko:wa/Great Law, we have every right to defend our men,
women and children by any means necessary.
Henco is taking the OPP to court tomorrow for not enforcing the
illegal injunction. Henco seems to think that private companies can
order the OPP around like an army of private mercenaries. The OPP
are allegedly going after the protesters before the court hearing
and have sent a message to the protesters, "You only have hours
left". Two paddy wagons are already parked nearby and the OPP
cruisers are driving up and down Highway 6, all "swat teamed up".
On Sunday, April 16th at a people's meeting the Confederacy and the
band council agreed to work together and let the Confederacy chiefs
and clan mothers deal with the land issue. Legally they are the
only ones who can as Canada and their band councils are recent
creations. Only councilor Dave General refused to go along with the
people. He read out Canada and Ontario's position against what the
people wanted. He wants a "poll" to be conducted which he and his
masters can control. If this happens, we want impartial
international observers to make sure it is legal. Otherwise it's
just a rubber stamp for the establishment.
Obviously what's happening now was Canada and Ontario's intention
all along. They do not want the Confederacy to deal with the land
issue. Canada is clearly in default. They do not want to come to a
peaceful agreement with the Six Nations on the illegal building of
non-native housing on their land and the many other land issues that
plague Six Nations people. Canada is caught. There is an iron clad
promise under the Haldimand Agreement from the Crown to protect Six
Nations people from encroachment. This has been violated for over
200 years. Canada and Ontario prefer to back Henco, an American
corporation. They do not want the Indians to get anything.
Canada is ready to create a situation where there will be a bloody
confrontation between the police and the Indians. Things could get
out of hand. Nobody will know about it because the media blackout
already in place will be continued. At the same time many friends
and allies of the Six Nations are being targeted. The Indians are
always ready to talk peace and negotiate.
We need people to head over there with video cameras and other
cameras to take pictures. That isn't threatening, is it? If the
OPP behave correctly and not evict people from their own land, then
there will be nothing to hide.
If Canada and Ontario are allowed to expropriate Six Nations for
private American corporations, where will it stop? Predators are
waiting to come in and take over the 20,000 acres that the Six
Nations people are living on right now. Land values in this area
are skyrocketing because of the influx of immigrants from all over
the world. We Rotino'shon:ni are in the way of so-
called "progress". The Haldimand Deed guaranteed that there would
never be any encroachment on our land ever!
In 5 years it is foreseen that cities on the Haldimand Tract will
more than double their population. To allow this, the federal
government is relinquishing its trust responsibility that it would
always protect the Rotinol'shon:ni/Iroquois from any encroachment
whatsoever. Beware! The federal government is not credible as they
are not willing to uphold this solemn promise.
