BACKGROUND
MNN. Apr. 22, 2008. Last night the
non-native Deseronto squatters,
whose town is on Tyendinaga
Mohawk land along the Bay of Quinte,
made human chains along the road
leading up to the demostration. They
held up signs for the Mohawks to see,
with messages, like “power to people
[themselves]” “Remove your masks”
and “You are a disgrace to your race”.
Pictures available. Are they copying
us or what? They get the tactics but
not the principle!
Band council chief R. Don Maracle
distanced himself from the blockaders
saying “Blockades are not the way to
settle land claims. it takes time to
resolve these issues. They need to
remain calm to allow [me] to negotiate
peacefully in a climate that is not
hampered by protests and blockades”,
he told the local radio station. His
treasonous comments set us up for
the colonial attack that followed.
R.Don Maracle is wrong. One, a
negotiator needs to be picked by the
people for the purpose. You can’t
assume the right to negotiate because
you’ve been elected to a colonial band
council office who function on colonial
capitalist brains. You are not legal!
Two, negotiations have to be in public
to meet the requirements of both
Haudenosaunee Law and international law.
Agreements cannot be the result of the
informed consent of the people if the people
have not been informed. In camera closed
door negotiations are not legitimate.
The land in question is the Culbertson
Track of 1832 which was never given up.
The Ontario government knows full well
that there’s a problem with squatters on
the Tract since 1832. How long do they
expect us to wait for them to uphold the
law.
The roads trespass on our land. It’s our
land. It’s our business where we stand on
it. The OPP, the squatters, the trucks
carrying toxic waste to the quarry and the
construction crews are all trespassers.
The illegal colonial governments and agents
defame us by accusing us of saying we’re
the law breakers instead of doing their duty
to protect to us from their unruly law
breaking people. Why are the cops
breaking the law?
The squatters roamed around all night
shooting verbal threats left, right and center,
“You better take down your blockade or
else!”, with the OPP standing behind them
probably setting them up and urging them
along. The OPP are following the same
“Whiskey Trench” tactics used by the SQ
during the Mohawk Oka Crisis of 1990 at
Kanehsatake and Kahnawake. They’re
just standing there watching as their
citizens break the law. By doing this they
are encouraging them to act like rabble.
What needs to happen in a proper
democracy is that the legal rights and
principles have to be set out and
recognized by all responsible parties.
In keeping with the requirements of both
international law and the Great Law of
Peace/Kaianereh’ko:wa, we have set out
our rights. The British Crown agreed to
recognize and protect our right to our land
on the Culbertson Tract. Ontario has not
set out its rights. It has provided no legal
authority for its claims. Instead it’s using
armed force to support those who would
violate the law. This is totally dishonorable
behavior. This isn’t the 19th century
anymore.
When are Canadians going to leave
colonialism behind? It’s been formally
recognized as illegal for almost a century
now.
They should know by now that their strong
arm strategy to wear us down and scare us
into submission by defaming us and our
ancestors just won’t work. We have been
unwavering since the time of first contact.
We never agreed to be British subjects.
We never became Canadian citizens. We
never agreed to accept the injustices that
have been visited upon us. We will
continue to ask questions about their
illegal actions. We will overcome this
nonsense.
The Rotiskenekete did take down some of
the blockades last night in good faith as
we feel we had made our point about the
fraud that is taking place. The
condominium construction on the Bay of
Quinte is illegal. Ontario should stop
feeding into the scam artists who are trying
to use us to extort cash pay outs out of them.
They should simply uphold the law and evict
the squatters. Succumbing to these tactics is
unfair to Ontario tax payers.
When the Deseronto squatters started
attacking us, it was left to the Mohawks to
defend ourselves and our land by putting the
blockades back up. The OPP should have
been cooperating with these efforts to
ensure the safety of everyone.
The OPP came in yesterday morning and
set up a perimeter further out. This morning
at 8:00 am they moved closer.
The OPP came to every area where there
was a Mohawk blockade pushing threats
from OPP Headquarters that they are
“coming in” and “taking us out”.
Constables Ron Van Straalen and C. Flynn
of the OPP at Napanee Detachment are in
charge [613-354-3369, Fax 613-354-9183] .
We had 4 sections blocked. The roads are
open, #2 highway going through Deseronto
to Napanee.
Emile Neibourg, the real estate agent
created this situation. He is trying to
extort a pay out from Ontario by
threatening to build condos on our land.
Caught on video was the police saying,
“We know that he created this to deal
with this land issue”. Then he can help
Canada say, “We don’t have any money
to pay the Mohawks for the disruption
of their land, or to relocate the Deseronto
squatters. We gave it all to Mr. Neibourg.
The OPP has become a tool of corporate
corruption. They’ve been turned into a
private army of the opportunistic
scumbags who will stop at nothing to
line their pockets.
To our brothers and sisters, “We need
help. Pressure the OPP and the
governments of Ontario and Canada to
stop the violence and stop the
corruption on sovereign independent
people. Nobody has spoken to us.
They just came in and attacked. Is this
the new OPP protocol? These OPP
look like they are itching to converge
on us at the quarry and take us out.
They want to try out their new Faschist
Fantino tactics. Their ultimatum is,
“get out of here!!” They know we are
right. They refuse to talk to us. Ontario
citizens should be asking why their
government is letting itself be used for
this organized thuggery.
