Now we see that Natives across Canada are telling us, are threatening us, with direct terrorist actions throughout Canada. Will the Federal Government step in and protect Canadians from this Terrorist Threat - it appears not?

The photo to the right is from a rally in Toronto on Saturday Aug. 12, 2006 where you can see the well known Terrorist leader's (Hasan Nazrallah) photo and right behind it is Warrior flag. Under the warrior flag is a flag of Hezbollah with yellow and green. (see below right for whole flag)

Foreign Minister Peter MacKay said that Hezbollah is a terrorist organization that is like a "cancer" destroying democracy in Lebanon and made it clear that the Canadian government blames Hezbollah for the current conflict with Israel. He told Opposition MPs that "Canada cannot be neutral on fundamental issues" and that is why the Conservative government condemns Hezbollah as a terrorist group that attacked a democracy

"Hezbollah. On our streets. In our cities. I am not making this up"

"The Aims of Hezbollah are akin to the radical warriors.  Hezbollah like Hamas does not recognize the state of Israel and would like the Jews to leave.", states Hazel Hill , spokesperson for Six Nations.

"Our position has never changed. We the Title Holders as recalled by Wampum 44 of our constitution, the Kaianereh'ko:wa, retain jurisdiction over our land. As set out in the Haldimand Proclamation, the British promised to respect this. Canada's would-be colonizers pretend that land held in trust is "Crown" land. This is an old hoax which is enforced at gunpoint. The British Crown has no legal jurisdiction over our land or over us. We were here first. We never agreed to join Canada. So what are you colonists doing here? Go home. "

The yellow flag of Hezbollah could be seen everywhere; across the top is a quotation from the Koran, from which Hezbollah took its name—"Verily the party of God shall be victorious"—and at the center is an AK-47 in silhouette, in the hand of the Shiite martyr Husayn, a cousin of the Prophet Muhammad. In the background is a depiction of the globe, suggesting Hezbollah's role in the worldwide umma, or community of Muslims. Along the bottom of the Hezbollah flag is written "The Islamic Revolution in Lebanon."

Lawless Rule, for sure!

August 9, 2006

Shrill, Ugly and Lawless says the August 9, 2006, Winnipeg Free Press Editorial describing the situation in Caledonia, where the Mohawks now occupy the land. As the Chief of Roseau River, I say, how does it feel whiteman, to have people who come to what you consider your property, set up their own system, refuse to go home, refuse to recognize your laws and then when you ask them to leave, they tell you, that you no longer own the land. I say, Bravo to the Mohawks, it is about time the whiteman got a taste of his own medicine.

Speaking of lawlessness, Delgamuukw, Haida, Marshall, Taku River, and many other Supreme Court decisions sided with the indigenous people yet Canada ignores the very law you say must be upheld in Caledonia. So is the law you speak of only good for the white guys, not for the Indians? Why did it only take 100 days for the white business people to get 12 million dollars of compensation from Canada and yet the Indians are still waiting two hundred years later.

You ask that First Nations be patient, to accept a process that National Chief Phil Fontaine stated averages 27 years to settle a land claim. For example, the Birdtail Sioux reservation, when CN expropriated their lands in 1905, paying a little over $80 to Indian Affairs, (without the consent of the real owners) the Order in Council removing the land from reserve status took only 3 days to complete. Our Treaty Land Entitlement purchases have not been converted in eight years despite the fact that we have a legally binding 1996 agreement with Canada. Our lands in 1903 that were similarly taken without our consent were converted to non reservation status in 26 days with an Order in Council. So when it benefits the whiteman, the law works fine.

In Delgamuukw, the Supreme Court of Canada recognized Aboriginal Title but it also ruled that the original owners have no access to Canadian courts to apply for injunctive relief. So the whiteman has protection against the law but not the Indian. The law you speak of, the injunctive relief is only available to the whites, not the Indians.

Yeah, the law is great when it is on your side whiteman. Each of the Provinces ensured that they have the notwithstanding clause, so they can ignore the law whenever it is not in their favor. Former Ontario Premier Peterson called Justice Marshall's decision "bizarre". It is a bizarre decision, because Superior Court Justice David Marshall would never be allowed to decide injunctive relief for the Indians. Did you see Marshall calling the police, government officials etc criminals for ignoring the law, did you see him asking to jail government officials. Of course not. Perhaps, the Indians would have a little less contempt for the law, if it really was equal and available to everyone, not just the white guys.

I strongly support the Mohawks of Six Nations in their application of the indigenous notwithstanding clause to ignore this bizarre whiteman's decision.

In case you don't realize the consequences yet of seeing Mohawks on T.V. with bloodied faces, being beaten by OPP. I'll state this for you again. Hundreds and hundreds of billions of resource wealth is travelling on thousands and thousands of miles of railway lines in this country. You whites did not bring these resources to our lands in your little boats, you left your god-given resources in Europe. If you didn't hear the anger at the Treaty 1-11 conference, you don't realize the consequences of blooding the faces of Mohawks. Right now the government is negotiating without the economic consequences of railway blockades. Don't underestimate the consequences of killing unarmed Mohawks.

Sincerely,

Chief Terrance Nelson
