in all other Mohawk Communities) considers this an act of war.
All nations, all supporters...show solidarity now...now is the

forces.

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.
