MNN. Jan. 1, 2007. It was a beautiful sight. Over two miles of cars bearing Iroquois Confederacy and Unity flags. When everyone arrived at the Old Confederacy Council House in Ohsweken, the padlocks were already off. The Indian Act cops were no where in sight. [Maybe they were having donuts with the OPP]. This was followed by speeches and a celebration.

Today the Iroquois Confederacy took back its Council House that was stolen in October 1924. We proved once again that Canada’s 1924 Order-in-Council PC 1629 signed by …

GRAND RIVER TERRITORY OF THE SIX NATIONS- Six Nations Haudenosaunee are pleased to announce that they will celebrate 2007 by moving back into the old Confederacy Council house in Ohsweken at Six Nations.

The Council House, built in 1864 is 140 years old and predates Confederation. The building served as the council house for the Six Nations Confederacy Council until 1924 when the council was ousted by the Canadian government and an elected band council imposed.

On the first day of the New Year Six Nations people will mark a turning point in their collective history by returning the building to the …

Response to “On the Other Side of the Barricade”

First Maximilian, thank you for taking the time to write “On the Other Side of the Barricade .” You raised a number of important points and questions with regard the dynamics of the situation in Caledonia, and the overall situation of Onkwehonweh People.

There are a number of things I would like to discuss, clarify, and expand from your writing…

When most people view the situation in Caledonia, it is assumed there are only a few Parties involved: The Six Nations, The Government, and Caledonians. The reality is that there is …

By Brenda Norrell - SAN XAVIER DISTRICT, TOHONO O’ODHAM NATION, Ariz. — Indigenous at the Border Summit of the Americas opposed a border fence that will separate Indian communities in their ancestral territories and contribute to the Bush administration’s plan for corporate profiteering.

Without compromise, Indigenous called for a halt to the militarization, oppression and psychological terrorism created by the military industrial complex along the US/Mexico border.

Mohawks from the northern border united with Tohono O’odham from the southern border and demanded a halt to the militarization of their lands by the US Border Patrol, National Guard and federal agents.

NEW YORK - Tribal leaders and the Aymaran president of Bolivia, Evo Morales, held a historic meeting Sept. 18 before Morales’ speech at the United Nations, where they discussed the dangers facing the natural world as well as human rights issues for Native peoples.

Morales, along with his country’s foreign minister, David Choquehuanca, Aymara, are in New York City for the opening of this year’s General Assembly at the United Nations. Morales addressed the General Assembly Sept. 19.

He met with leaders from the Haudenosaunee, Lakota and Cree nations, along with urban Natives from New York …

Given the increased hostility towards “brown-skinned” people (as they have been termed on the front page of one of Canada’s national dailies), and the extravagantly sloppy application of the term “terrorist” anytime three Natives carrying placards are to be found, it’s not surprising that in this new round of heightened hysteria and paranoia that Native sovereignty should also come into question as a potential “security” risk.

In the article below, from The Buffalo News, the worry is that Aboriginal reservations spanning the US-Canada border might also provide conduits for those pesky “terrorists” of which there have been so many (?) since …

A duo ostensibly representing the “Six Nations Women Title Holders” has served notice on Canadian Hydro Developers Inc. asserting that it owns the Melancthon I wind plant, and intends to seize it.

In a notice also posted on the Internet and signed by Kahentinetha /s/ and Katenies /s/, the women maintain that title to all lands within six miles of the Grand River is vested in them, and any structures built on the land become part of the land, according to case law.

These women are not of “the lunatic fringe.” They cite treaties pre-dating the British North …

To add some more persepctive to the ongoing situation in the Caledonia area, I would just like to express/reiterate a few things.

First I would like to say again that the Haudenosaunee People, and others involved in this reclamation do not have any weapons. They are peaceful people. The only danger to Caledonians comes from The Government of Canada’s choice to use violence to illegally remove the People from this Land.

The Haudenosuanee People do not want to see any violence done to you or your families, just as they don’t want to see …
