AN APPEAL FOR “CANADA" WIDE SOLIDARITY AND ACTION IN SUPPORT OF SIX
NATIONS!

One year is too long! Recognize the rights of Six Nations!

February 28^th , 2007 marks the one-year anniversary of the Six Nations
Land Reclamation. One year ago, a group of people from Six Nations took
back a piece of their land that was under construction by an American
developer and demanded an end to the destruction of their land and to
the settler encroachment on their territory.

Now, one year later, the Canadian government has yet to recognize the
truth: that this land is not owned by them nor can it be sold by them.
It is Haudonausaunee (Iroquois) territory, stolen and sold by the
colonial authorities illegally.

The people of Kanohnstaton, formerly “Douglas Creek Estates" have asked
for and encouraged solidarity actions and a pressure campaign in support
of the reclamation. The Six Nations Land Reclamation needs your support
and solidarity to make the Canadian government understand that Six
Nations are not alone. We must speak out against the injustices of
colonial land theft and genocide and take a stand for dignity,
indigenous land rights, justice and autonomy.

Despite the disinterest of the mainstream media, the Six Nations Land
Reclamation represents a pivotal example in the history of indigenous
decolonization in Turtle Island. We, as people living on stolen land,
have a responsibility to support and demand that Haudenosanee land
rights and sovereignty be recognized. We must also demand that the
government immediately cease the criminalization of those who have been
involved in the Reclamation, as over 30 people continue to face bogus
charges for defending their rights. It is time to stop spending
tax-payer money on negotiators’ and OPP salaries, to stop the lies, and
to recognize the treaties between the Haudenosaunee and the colonial
powers.

The federal and provincial governments recently brought a pack of lies
on paper to the negotiation table, claiming that Six Nations sold their
land. Let them know that we will not be swayed by age-old colonial
tactics of forgery and false dialogue. If the government has any issues
with the Iroquois protecting their own territory, we suggest that they
file a land claim with the traditional Haudenosaunee Confederacy, whose
reputation and credibility outweighs that of the Canadian government by
a large margin.

SAMPLE LETTER

To: Prime Minister Stephen Harper/ Barbara MacDougall/ Jim Prentice/ Jane Stewart/
Ron Doering

Object: Stop the Criminalization of the Six Nations Land Reclamation, respect the
Haudenosaunee Confederacy and immediately resolve the land dispute.

I am writing to demand that the Canadian government uphold its

responsibilities and return full title of Kanohnstaton (the Douglas Creek Estates)
to the people of Six Nations.

It has now been one year since the people of Six Nations rightfully took back and
reclaimed a piece of land that had been stolen and illegally sold by the Canadian
government. This piece of land, formerly known as “Douglas Creek Estates", is
Kanohnstaton, or The Protected Place, and the government is well overdue in
recognizing the truth of the matter: that this is Six Nations land, guaranteed by
the Haldimand Proclamation, and the Canadian government has no business claiming,
selling, or leasing land that is not theirs.

Land claims put forward by First Nations communities are highly overdue. Section 35
(1) of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms clearly states that: “The
existing aboriginal and treaty rights of the aboriginal peoples of Canada are hereby recognized and affirmed." In addition to demanding that the federal and provincial governments follow basic universal rules of human decency, I demand that the government follow its own Charter of Rights and Freedoms outlined in the Constitution Act of 1982.

Moreover, I demand that the ongoing criminalization of the people of Kanohnstaton
cease immediately. Indeed, instead of charging and persecuting and criminalizing
unarmed indigenous people who are rightfully and peacefully reclaiming their own
land, you should be bringing to justice the OPP and RCMP officers who used violence
with tasers and batons on unarmed people, causing injuries and bodily harm, on the
vicious raid of April 20^th , 2006.

Hazel Hill, spokesperson for Six Nations, has stated: "We didn't create

the situation, we are only trying to rectify it, for our children and

future generations. We have taken action and have re-claimed land that is
rightfully ours. We are there in Peace, and have been since February 28th... Will
Canada allow the hatred and violent displays of racism of its citizens to continue
and possibly create another Ipperwash, or will it use the lessons of the past to
ensure that the violence stops and admit to their citizens that it is through their
own actions and abuse of assumed power that we are in this situation today."

I strongly urge you to heed these words and take action to ensure a just resolution
to this issue in a swift and fair manner.

Sincerely,
