On the RBG deer hunt
A recent Facebook page set up by animal rights activists opposed to the Royal Botanical Gardens (RBG) deer hunt, referred to the hunt as an inhumane “slaughter.”
Letters
The Canandaigua Treaty was signed by the President and not by the Senate.
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.
Land ownership and the Brantford injunction
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.
Thinking about Remembrance day
I am not sure what to think of Remembrance day. I mean, when you really think about it, back in the day during World War I and II many people joined the army to get the financial resources to help out their family.
What is the reason people do it now? Why did our people join the military during the Iraq and Afghanistan wars that were mainly, like all the others, to steal resources from other natives? The people we were fighting were native to the lands the Corporations of Canada and United States went to invade.
The Two Row Wampum and the Rules of Law
An agreement between the Mohawk Workers and Guswenta Holdings Incorporated (a Canadian Holdings Company) has the Kanienke:haka and the Haudenosaunee community-at-large conflicted with the recent signing of that agreement.
The two row wampum can be used as a mechanism that will break down the logic, the positions and identities of our “subject” in the paramount question, “who is who?”, and “where they are coming from?” Once we know who is who, and where each stand, the law of each and the conflicts that exist may become clear.
Before the who, lets define the where, lets “discover” the foundations of the two possibilities, this and that, here and there, our rule of law and their rule of law.
Nagaland shawl on your front cover
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.
