The following statement was read at Friday's native rally in Victoria Park in Brantford.
We have come here today in accordance with Kaianerekowa (The Great Binding Law).
We gather her today in peace and friendship, to show Solidarity for Our People who are discriminated against, exploited and oppressed by the Canadian Courts and "Justice" system; a system which has no jurisdiction to issue injunctions against the Haudenosaunee on our traditional territory.
We are speaking and acting as One Mind, One Voice and as One Unified Body. We have our own law, and its message is clear; the lands of Turtle Island were made for the Ongwehonwe (Original Beings) to care for and steward.
Within our law, within Kaianerekowa our responsibilities are clear and our duties lay plain before us.
The irresponsible policies practiced by the governments of Ontario and the Federal Government of Canada contribute to the degradation of the lands, environment and well-being of all peoples, as well as the Haudenosaunee.
We will no longer sit silently by while the interests of Owisda (money), politics and greed continue to develop our lands granted by right; continue to dig up our ancestor's remains in sacrilege; continue to perpetuate a wholly abhorrent and unsustainable way of life that threatens the well-being of the entire human race.
With the Good Mind, we the Haudenosaunee announce once again that we are united within our territories from the Eastern Door to the Western Door and all points in between.
As one unified body, we the Haudenosaunee are an unstoppable force that the Crown governments of Canada and Ontario can neither deny, nor silence.
