The Canandaigua Treaty was signed by the President and not by the Senate. That picture of November 13, 2013, in the Two Row Times, must be challenged, as the Canandaigua Treaty was illegal and void. Today the United States said if a few people still recognize the Treaty even though itis illegal, then by using it will make it legal, which is still illegal and void.
“We are not giving up despite these harsh weather conditions, sacrificing time with our families, our jobs, our homes, not only to protect land, water and people but to ensure a brighter future for the next 7 generations. We are asking for more support, through road blocks to be in solidarity. This is not just an Elsipogtog issue, this is a global issue and we need to raise awareness. Show us support any way possible, sending thank you’s, road blocks, banners, even dropping by, all and every type of support is appreciated.”
The message rings loud and clear. A growing contingency of opposition is making a point to be loud and proud of their opposition to the “massacre” of deer in the Shorthills.
I have been asked, “Cam, why do you not vote? Don’t you care about Six Nations’ future?” Well, actually, I sure do care about Six Nations’ future which is the main reason why I do not vote. This is also why I am a member in good standing of the Indian Defence League of America.
I am one of the litigants named in the Injunction at Brantford, Ontario. I have just learned that the appeal launched by the Haudenosaunee Development Institute has failed and Brantford has been awarded $350,000 plus $25,000 in costs, a portion of which they claim I am liable for.
Did you know that many colleges and universities continue to not only have ancestral human remains and burial goods in their collections but also refuse to return them to Native American Nations despite the NAGPRA (Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act) having been in place since 1990?

In 2004, the Supreme Court of Canada set out the legal framework for the Crown’s duty to consult and accommodate in the Haida and Taku River cases. The duty flows from the “Honour of the Crown” and s. 35 of the Constitution Act, 1982 and requires governments to consult with Aboriginal peoples.
The duty to consult arises when the Crown knows, or should know of the potential existence of Aboriginal rights that may be infringed upon through Crown actions.
Greetings from the Chiefs, Clanmothers, Faithkeepers, and people of the Haudenosaunee Six Nations Confederacy, People of the Longhouse.
The Grand Council of Chiefs would like to take this time to remind its citizens of the Haudenosaunee position on imposed elected Band and Tribal councils and our proposed remedy to standardize governance within the domain of the Haudenosaunee Confederacy.
As early as 2007, the Onondaga Nation began understanding the repercussions of hydrofracking, a method of extracting methane gas from deep shale formations and warned allies about the risks of the industry.
In 2009, the Haudenosaunee issued a statement which called on New York State to ban the permitting of high volume hydraulic fracturing and encouraged allies to live up to our agreements to protect shared resources.
On October 15, 2013, the United States Supreme Court declined to hear the Onondaga Land Rights appeal.
This shameful decision closes the door on the prospects of justice for the Onondaga within the U.S. judicial system. It is not, however, the end of efforts by the Onondaga and their allies to seek justice for the Onondaga, the Haudenosaunee and all indigenous peoples.
Is it happenstance that the photograph on the cover of last Wednesday’s Two Row Times features a vivid shawl woven by another corn-growing people fighting for their traditional lands . . . albeit 12,000 kilometres away?
Whilst I am not one of the concerned people, I recognize the shawl as from Nagaland, a region found on a world map in the triangle between Bangladesh, Burma, and China.

The biggest elephant in Canada is still the document that just celebrated its 229th anniversary last week, sometimes known as the Haldimand Proclamation, the Haldimand Deed or the Haldimand Treaty.
