To avoid arguments in the White world we are told to avoid talking about religion or politics.
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.
My most prized possession of all are my 13/0 Charlotte cut seed beads. These rare and tiny beads may seem plain to the untrained eye, but to the aficionado they are discern able because of a single facet cut into them.
BUFFALO – On Sunday, Nov. 17, the “Let’s Talk Native… with John Kane” live radio show had some very special guests. In addition to the regular show participants, host John Kane and ESPN – AM1520 in Buffalo, welcomed a network television producer from the Al-Jazeera Arabic Channel.
The Minneapolis/St. Paul, Minnesota chapter of Idle No More initiated a national campaign to boycott the US “holiday” of Thanksgiving.
“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.”
TSI KANATAHERE – Saturday’s (Nov. 23) marathon meeting to discuss the real estate development project at Birketts Lane and Erie Avenue had all the ingredients for a dust up but that did not really occur.
After weeks of life taking over my schedule I finally found some time to clean. Together the kids and I determined to sort through old toys and purge the household of clutter.
So as we head into the final week of National Native American Heritage Month as proclaimed by the 44th Rahnatakaias, or as I call it, our “special month,” we get to witness another misappropriation of our culture or, at the very least, another great falsehood of American history, the U.S. holiday of Thanksgiving.
Until my involvement with ACTION and Oshkimaadziig Unity Camp, I have never been to a blockade or to a land reclamation. Does being at a blockade and or reclamation site make a warrior? Does one have to be in an armed conflict, or face to face showdown with the paramilitary to be considered one?

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.
The greatest leader of the Onyota’aka died last week. There, I said it — the greatest leader. And let there be no mistake, because in a sea of frauds who buy enough votes to be declared “winners” in tribal elections or twist around “customs and traditions” to get placed as “leaders” or, worse yet, use the BIA to get designated the “federally recognized leader,” Jake Thompson’s leadership was real and undeniable.
