EDITORIAL By: Gary Smith

O'siyo Brothers and Sister!  Mohawk are being attacked by Ontario Provencial Police in a manner hauntingly reminiscent of the 1995 attacks at Ipperwash Park that resulted in the death of Dudley George. Understand this - the Mohawk are protesting a housing construction site on unceeded Mohawk Territory. The Ontario Government argues otherwise, but cannot prove the land was ever ceeded. This is very similar to the blatant disregard for Mohawk Territory that lead to the Oka Crisis in 1990. The Mohawks and other Native Peoples who came to Caledonia to support the Mohawks will not back down. This is Mohawk Territory. There is no reason to respond to the court order to vacate the property except to appease the dominant society - and we have all seen what that gets you... Another beating or theft. Every person reading this editorial needs to stand with the Mohawk. Dohiyi Ani Oginalii Gary Smith (*,*) wotanging@bellsouth.net P. O.

"Not one Indian nation has been contacted on how to protect the border, or how to control undocumented people coming onto their lands." "Our leaders are our ceremonial people. The tribal governments cannot be too pushy with the United States government. They can't take a radical stance because the United States could create sanctions against them; the elected tribal officials operate under the mandates of the BIA." ~~Jose Matus, Yaqui, Director of the Indigenous Alliance Without Borders
