For all those opposed to Civil Rights, Human Rights, & Religious Rights Violators and Treaties Violations please join our struggle. The Traditional Oneida people are requesting your attention to assist in ending the eight year suffering of Oneidas & Iroquois families opposing the Federal Government's Department of the Interior's BIA for their direct actions of the Two Row Treaty Violation continuing since May 1993. The Six Nations Iroquois Confederacy Grand Council removed Ray Halbritter from his temporary spokesperson seat as Halbritter entered illegal dealings of the federal government and New York State. The Halbritter auxillary armed non-native police force must be disbanned to stop the cruel, inhumane treatment, and illegal actions forced upon our community and native people. We invite you to join us in "SPIRITUAL PRAYER CAMP" as we stand strong to save our community from destruction, so that we may be able to live in peace on our land once again.
