Tensions grow as native protesters return to Ontario site

With police helicopters hovering overhead, aboriginal protesters continued to block the road to a construction site in southwestern Ontario Thursday, hours after police staged a pre-dawn raid to break up a seven-week-old occupation.

Plumes of black smoke billowed in the air as protesters burned a pile of tires on the two-lane highway leading to the site in Caledonia, about 90 kilometres southwest of Toronto.

OPP Deputy Commissioner Maurice Pilon said police have no immediate plans to remove the second group of demonstrators, but defended their decision to launch an early morning raid to remove about 45 protesters. Police in cruisers and vans swooped into the site around 4:30 a.m. EDT with tear gas cannons and Tasers, arresting 16 people.

Pilon said police carried out the early morning raid because an "escalation of activity" posed a risk to public safety, but didn't provide any further details.

1. "O Canada! Your home on Native land..."

:rofl:

That one's pretty good. I'll have to remember it.

Especially since someone once tried to convince me that nobody in Canada ever, ever uses an archaic and offensive American word like "native" to refer to anything having to do with Persons of First Nations origin...


:eyes:


Anyhow, I hope the protestors win. Whatever this proposed "Douglas Creek Estates" thing might be, I'm pretty sure the world can stagger on without it.

2. Native Americans in Canada aren't much better off than in the U.S.

I'm actually surprised that they use the term "aboriginal" for Native Americans.

[manic expression]

3. Well,

They use "aboriginal" in Australia, so maybe it's a British thing?

[Canadian_NewDemocrat]

4. hey manic

is that Paul Kagame in your signature picture?

[manic expression]

5. Yeah

you're the first person here to identify him. How do you know about him?

(By the way, welcome to DU!)

As you can see, the beat goes on. La- di-la-di-da. Please continue to stand in solidarity with us. Kahentinetha Horn



UPDATE: 6:30 PM STILL APRIL 20, 2006



Canada hasn’t learned its lesson. It wants another Oka summer! 200 RCMP are going to back up the Ontario Provincial Police OPP. Instead of figuring out to negotiate a solution and maybe give back something they stole, they decided to use force again. This is a one trick pony. They are presently waiting at the Hamilton airport where they have choppers and “swat whipping gear” to whip “dem stubborn Injuns” into shape. They have all the toys, gadgets and guns. The whole 9 whistles! If they leave them behind, we can dress them up with feathers and warrior badges, eh!



Misinformation continues.



It is Canada and Ontario who are violating the jurisdiction of the Indigenous people. According to their own constitution, we have to validly give up our lands and sovereignty under Section 132 of the BNA Act. We never did this. This is not a domestic issue, as they say. It is an international issue. We began our r elationship with Britain as allies. When the British split themselves up into Canada, United States and Britain, we never agreed to join any of them. We’ve never agreed to be anything but allies. Under international law one state cannot absorb another without the fully informed consent of the majority of the population. Canada agrees with this formula. In the Quebec Succession Reference, it said that a province could not leave without the consent of a clear majority on a clear question. Canada and Ontario don’t want to play fair. They still want to be colonizers. That’s why they think they can run around like a bunch of big bullies, instead of learning of history and stealing what isn’t theirs.



According to the Kaianereh’ko:wa, the Women are the title holders of the land. We hold it in trust for our future generations. It belongs to our future generation. None of the so-called treaties that Canada claims to rely on are valid. None were signed with the authority of the people. Of course, none were signed by the future generations because they weren’t born yet.



It’s not like the settlers will have no place to live.



They recognize the rights that they agreed to respect. In 1784 General Haldimand made a proclamation on behalf of the British. He promised that Britain would protect the Six Nations right to occupy our land for six miles on either side of the Grand River from its mouth to its source. The public needs to be know that it is Canada and Ontario who refuse to come to the table and deal with laws and documents that back us up. Canadian leaders are announcing they wish they knew how to solve this problem. There is no problem. They just have to stay off our land, take their police away, stop trying to invade and stop giving fraudulent titles to squatters. It’s all in their archives. Canadians just have to look it up.





MEDIA BLACK OUT IS OVER FOR NOW. SIX NATIONS STAND UP TO TOTALARIANISM. WHAT’S NEXT?



MNN. April 20, 2006. 1:45 PM. Thursday. The Rotin’oshon’ni Six Nations, with our brothers, sisters, friends and allies, took a stand against totalitarian might. We could not give into it. It would have had a ripple effect through all of society. We stood up for law and order on behalf of everybody. It’s not over. We repelled the police. Our supporters came and stood with us. We now wait.



Right now 50 Quebec Police SQ are standing with binoculars at the end of Mercier Bridge staring across the St. Lawrence River at us here in Kahnawake. An elderly supporter took out her warrior flag and hung it out on her balcony in a high rise in Toronto. Canadians are angry. They feel like they’ve been lied to. Vital information has been kept from them.



The media black out is over. Our protest is on the front page. But what does all this mean? Why was it blacked out to begin with? What good is freedom of the press if the press is in the pockets of whoever controls the government? The Ontario Provincial Police OPP had a press conference at 1:00 today. They’re carrying out a court order, the legality of which we question. The Ontario government doesn’t want to take the blame. The Canadian government's Indian Affairs Department doesn’t want to take the responsibility. . They both say. “It’s a police matter”.



16 protesters were removed from the Caledonia building site using violence and threats. OPP said they were merely trying to serve a court order taken out by Henco Industries, an American Corporation. No one has explained how and why the courts and the police became puppets of American businesses. No one is taking responsibility for the attack on the Six Nations people. Does this mean that this is a police state? Who rules the police anyway? Are the cops in charge? They seem to be able to do what they want. Who’s next? Welcome to the new world order!



The Ipperwash Inquiry doesn’t seem to have had any effect on the agenda of the OPP. They are now dictating to the government, attorneys general, crown attorneys and politicians. Everyone is afraid of the power of the police, except the Indians. The politicians have made laws giving so much power to the police that they have created a monster that is taking over. They cannot put the genie back into the bottle that they opened.



But the resistance at Six Nations is not what the police expected. To begin with, none of the people were carrying weapons, other than cameras. The news blackout was broken because the story got too big for Canada to control. They could not stop people from expressing themselves, at least not without killing us all off. We must have our say, no matter how hard whoever controls the government tries to shut us up. We see that the public is angry because the media never told them what was going on. Suddenly the issue that has been going on for 52 days is thrown in their faces.



Say the OPP, “This is no Ipperwash . We are not taking orders from politicians” . The OPP, they tell us, only enforces the law. Monte Quinter, an Ontario politician, said that the whole question of Six Nations lands has been before the Ontario legislature. “We’ve got to negotiate with the people”, said the NDP Indian Affairs critic. Most said they wanted a peaceful resolution. The facts have to go before the people. Why is it that the Canadian media never carries any information to inform the public about Indigenous land claims? This is why Canadians are surprised by what happened at Ipperwash, Oka and now at Six Nations. It seems that the Conservative party in opposition are still pushing their agenda. They would like to see the Liberals, who are in power, send the police in to continue the Mike Harris policy of using brute force on anyone who opposes his government. They want the Liberals to make the same mistake that they made at Ipperwash. This lead to a big inquiry and a huge black eye for the Conservatives.



If Canada had gotten away with the media black out, the outcome would been a lot worse. Because Indigenous news outlets sent messages worldwide, Canada could not hide their dirty underwear anymore. We have to thank our brothers and sisters all over the world who inundated Canadian officials with questions. Our people could have been killed and no one would have known about it. It’s strange too that Henco is an American company and the New York Times recently put a story on its front page demonizing the Mohawks. Is this all part of the plan?



Once the news got out, the police had to back off. The Indians had cameras everywhere. The OPP did not want to be on television beating up the Indians. A few Indians were arrested. Then they were replaced by more people. Ontario and Canada are not sure what to do now. This indicates to us that the Canadian demagogues had a plan to see how far they could get by using force and hiding it. If they could have gotten get away with it, they could do it elsewhere. If they could control us, they could do it on anyone, native or non-native. We were at the point of tipping down the horrible slope that the people of Chile and Argentina know so well.



Canada has to sit down with the real owners of the land and not anyone else.



Also, Canada can only negotiate after peace has been established. Canada may think this unfortunate. They have to get used to the idea they can’t grab everything. They have to show the world there is going to be no more violence and threats. Only then can we come forward without fear of being arrested.



We know what was done to our chiefs in the past. In the 1600’s our ancestors were invited to parlay with the government and were attacked, killed or imprisoned. We never saw them again. We still have this mistrust for a very good reason. We want open and transparent assurances. We want international observers. The people are the leaders. The chiefs are merely spokesmen for the people and have no power but to carry out the will of the people. The government and police don’t understand true democracy. Our people will not fall for their old colonial tricks. We will not let any of our people be set up, put on ships and die in Europe.



All over the world despotic leaders are attacking people, putting them in jails, concentration camps, separating them from loved ones, without lawyers or habeas corpus. It’s been creeping closer and closer. Look at Quantanamo. Look at security certificates that can be issued in Canada without letting the accused victim or their lawyer know what the evidence against them is. It has become impossible to put proof forward even cases of mistaken identity.



We want to show what we have to do when the powerful try to take control of the masses. We have been through this many times in the past. We know who we are dealing with. We can’t be fooled into falling for their trap.



The media blackout was a total violation of freedom of speech which is right in the constitution of Canada. The Six Nations had our backs against the wall. We did the only thing we could do in a nonviolent way. We are doing this for all oppressed people everywhere in the world. We want them to see someone standing up to the power of mass control of the human race. We ask all people to stand with us in solidarity. We are doing it for all of us.



We want to help stop the enslavement of everyone who use totalitarian means of brute force. The only protection we have is for the media to tell everybody what is happening. Mediayou’re your job. Don’t black us out. Don’t let the controllers of the government shut you down. Become involved with us.

SHE NEEDS TO COME TO THE TABLE WITH THE CLAN MOTHERS.



9:45 UPDATE - ALERT! ALERT! OPP INVADES SIX NATIONS – CHASED OUT - GO AND WITNESS – Thursday, April 20th 2006.



WATCH FOR FURTHER UPDATES



9:45 AM



OPP saying that it is over < FOR THEM>. Go home then! Simple as that. Hundreds are there. More and more are coming. We moved police out of here. We have blocked off highways. Police are supposed to be moving in. 1000 cops and the army. Transport truck is blocking off road. They are going to try to come in again. Negligent media no coverage. There had been an actual meeting in Cornwall not to give coverage. Alternative media is there. Local only. One woman was roughed up.



Very tense difficult situation. We need all kinds of people here as witnesses with cameras and eyes and memories. It is about violation of our law, Canadian law and international law. They have no right to be here. Their guns are fully loaded. We are unarmed. Our spirits are high. We are asking people to make calls, emails, think about us. We are carrying out our responsibilities. We need international support. There were children on the site when the OPP came. We are standing strong, adhering to the law and we have no intention of leaving.



The constitutional jurisdiction is that of the Indians. Ontario and Canada are invading our jurisdiction. This is an international assault on another nation. The people are standing on the law. Canada is standing on “might makes right”.



9:15 Tires burning at underpass. At the church near Douglas Estates near Tim Horton’s the people have blocked off the highway.







4:20 am the OPP attacked to arrest them. Hauled first 9 off. Some protesters took the Caledonia bridge. Reserve people arrived and repelled the cops. At least 150 heavily armed cops. Vans, trucks, paddy wagons, ambulances (for the cops). They repelled them. The cops came back. They were replled again. Now at 9:00 am the people have taken the land in question back. How to get there: From Niagara Falls and Toronto, take Highway 6 straight south from Hamilton to Caledonia. From buffalo take Highway 3 west to Higway 6 and north on Highway 6 to Caledonia. From Windsor take Higway 3 East to Higway 6 and go north. These are backways and cops are not likely to be looking at it too much.





8:30 OPP DISRUPTS PEACE IN QUIET CALEDONIA



The OPP has created an ongoing battle. They sit in their cars, give out false news reports, and wait for reinforcements to come in to squash the Six Nations people but they can’t. Everyone is reporting to everyone.



All police have been chased off the perimeter of Douglas Estates for now. Cop were sneaking behind the unfinished houses. One woman went over. A women cop told her she was under arrest. “What do you mean I’m under arrest. You’re violating the laws, both ours and international law”. Other cops came out and wrestled her down on the ground. She fought all of them. They kneed her to handcuff her. She started booting the cops. Then other Indians arrived on the scene and chased the cops off. As they were leaving they shot her son in back with tasers. The big woman cop was carrying a big gun, something like an Ouzi. “It was a big one”. Those cops were fully packed, she said. They failed to arrest her because she resisted. There are 9 arrested. They’re supposed to only keep them for 2 hours. ‘We haven’t seen them back yet”. The People are shutting Caledonia down. “We are not armed. We got our land back. Were in! We’re at the fire!”



At the 6th Line where the Douglas Estates comes out on the road at the entrance, out to Highway 6 that goes onto the rez. The bypass that goes around Caledonia. At the 6th line overpass, the people there had been blocking that road, they were attacked by the cops, paddy wagons were there. They fought back. It was a brawl. People started coming from the rez and supported them. Immediately there were hydro poles around which they threw on the road and set on fire. They are cutting off Highway 6 the main supply line that goes goes to Nanticoke Hydro Electric plant down on Lake Erie. It is the main transport truck road to Hamilton. This is being blocked.



Some protesters are still holding Caledonia Bridge, the main artery of the city. It’s total confusion.



If you have satellite TV, look for Hamilton CH which has a live feed. They have helicopters filming everything.





8:00 AM



It is an ongoing situation. 9 people arrested.



There is fighting going on at the No. 6 Line Bridge. It is blocked off. The traditional Longhouse people put a fire there and the OPP pepper sprayed them. But the people started fighting back. The people have moved onto the main bridge in Caledonia. The people moved the police off the land and are going back to the main door and are still there holding on. The cops are still on the road shutting down the bypass. The OPP were chased off by the people and told to get out. OPP got off the land and are in their cars watching and waiting for "orders".



Get the news on the radio stations, newspapers, television.



7:05 am. Two snipers were chased off by the people. They have 50 cops trapped in, who can’t get out. A media black out could work against them. More cops are going to come in. Indians don’t have weapons but they do have tons of cameras.



In Ipperwash there was a media blackout. The only way the information got out was because some of the people told what they saw. That’s why we need people in there. The police show ed in that public inquiry there was a deliberate attempt to stop the press from finding out. There were attacks upon people with cameras, those who tried to get the story out. What the police learned is how to do this the right way next time. This is it. They learned all the weaknesses We learned the invaders are psychologically twisted people who pretend to be supporting the law. These are megalomaniacs who think they can say what the law is because they have access to guns. This time they will do it “right”. The CTV have made two major movies showing what happens when these twisted personalities are allowed free reign on Indians. We get killed.



There are back room deals in police headquarters to hide the information and protect the police officers that give orders. In the case of Ipperwash, three OPP police officers died suddenly just before they were going to give evidence at the enquiry. What a strange coincidence. It is unfortunate that the poor jerks that are just “following orders” do not realize that they are putting their lives on the line. They are not at risk from Indians, so why all these coincidences?



The Six Nations people have been burning tobacco during this entire occupation for their protection. This is the only weapon that we have. We know the truth is on our side. We are calling upon the natural forces to give us wisdom and guidance through this whole siege. There are repercussions to those involved when you go against people who are innocent and justified in what they are doing. The megalomaniacs who do these kinds of things are only looking out for themselves. They are a danger to all of society. We Indigenous people are within our rights. We want Canada to obey their own laws, and to respect international norms. We want an open and fair hearing. If the colonizers think they own our land, they need to prove it. With this attack they have trashed any pretension to right and decency, democracy and the rule of law. Canada is beginning to slide quickly down the slippery slope of despotism. How can Canada decolonize. The test lies in how they feel toward people who challenge their assumptions. Are they going to use batons, guns and pepper spray? Or are they going to get out their documents and take a serious look at the evidence.



The answer is obvious. Just look at what is happening today. This is a colonial government’s hard core. Canada does not believe in reasoned researched and documented solutions. We are seeing how colonial government is going to deal with any kind of questioning of their “might makes right” authority. These are the signs of how a tyrannical government is going to suppress the people from expressing legitimate dissent against a takeover by the powerful elitist interests that are involved. It appears that individual rights are being eliminated systematically all over Turtle Island. This destruction of dissent at Six Nations is done under the cover of media darkness. This is the way it will be done in the future against all people across Turtle Island. This is an experiment in police state tactics against unarmed people who are exercising our rights.



These are the lessons they learned at Gustafsen Lake in 1995 where 77,000 rounds of ammunition were shot at the Indians. In Saskatoon, where Six Indian boys were found frozen to death outside the city put there by police officers. In Winnipeg where J.J. Harper was murdered by the Winnipeg police. At Ipperwash where Dudley George was murdered in cold blood by the OPP. There are over 500 Indigenous women who have “disappeared” and the police have done nothing about it. In the 1960’s there was a complaint made in British Columbia because men were looking for Indian children to have sex with them in the streets. The police did nothing about it. Child prostitution is an on-going problem in Vancouver. We don’t want the blood lust of Canada’s police force to be whetted by spilling the blood of Indians. This vampire regime is moving in on Indians like sharks who smell blood in the water.



We don’t want the



6:45 am





Go to Six nations. Take part in the Canadian “democratic” process. Get pepper sprayed. Get beat up. Get arrested. Get killed. No one will know what is going on. Seriously, the media black out is giving the lawless their power. They can do anything they want and who knows where it will stop. Take photos and tell your friends. We don’t want another Chile. The state has been involved in murders before like Anna May Aquash. These attackers find a place where they can live out their bizarre fantasies and manias. These people have a twisted view of society and a gun is put in their hands. No psychological testing is done on these guys in police, armies, and bureaucracies. The only test for surviving is a willingness to “follow orders”, not the law. These people have no concept of what the law or true democratic rule is.



6:20 AM



Cops all over the place. People are there. More people coming. Pepper sprayed. So far they let everybody go. Some might have been seized. Don’t know. Canada using Gestapo tactics instead of making things right. Canada following big brother george bush mentality – invasion, containment, imprisonment and torture of Indigenous people and their families. Next Canada will start hunting down those who continue to protect and try to maintain the sov and jurisdiction of our people. lets not be surprised if Canada puts a deck of 52 for its most wanted Indigenous people and their friends and allies. Free land is our land that is free of Indians.





At 5:55 am this morning, Thursday, April 20th, over 150 heavily armed Ontario Provincial Police with Native mercenaries as body shields, invaded Six Nations land. Some carrying M-16's, in riot gear. 6th line is still open. The Rotinoshon'no are not fighting because they are unarmed. Tear gas has been thrown at them. Some were pepper sprayed. The traitors are the same kind of people who stabbed Crazy Horse, Geronimo, and those who fought for our sovereignty and our lives.



One bridge to the property has been closed.



Witnesses required. This will not be on the national news. Go there and see what is going on. This is a scary precedent. Take pictures. Make reports. Let the world know. report. REPORT. REPORT. Help the people so no one gets hurt. we never wanted violence. Canada has opened to the door to covert state violence on a scale that is unprecedented in Canada. This si the end of any pretense of negotiation with Indigenous people. they’re just going to take the land. Canada came in with armaments, guns, paddy wagons (we dont know what's in there).



Don't let Canada become another Chile. Tell the world. The Rotino'shon:we are on our own land.
