We have reason to believe that many of our peoples' lives are in "danger". They have particularly been targeting youth, women with children and elders, particularly if these people are known for speaking out in favor of our rights.I am a 68 year old grand

Kahentinetha to United Nations: Canada conspired to kill us

Kahentinetha Horn, publisher of Mohawk Nation News, filed a complaint with the United Nations, following the attack on her and Katenies at the border. Kahentinetha suffered a trauma induced heart while handcuffed in a police stress hold during the attack by special forces at the Canadian border. Katenies, editor of Mohawk Nation News, was beaten and jailed. The Mohawk grandmothers live in fear for their lives after exposing the truth of Canada's genocide of First Nations peoples, including the genocide of uranium mining, the murder of innocent children in residential schools, the seizure and rape of Indigenous Peoples lands and digging up the graves of the ancestors for housing, industrial development and the NAFTA highway. The complaint to the United Nations sent today follows: (ABOVE)

We would appreciate your immediate intervention. We are afraid for our lives. Please help make sure that no more of our people are killed or threatened.
Onen ki:wahi

Has anybody started a petition here for these women?
Maybe somebody could start one and send it to these people so they could also use it. I'd be more than happy to sign it.

P.S. Please Michael, make sure that people from other countries like myself are eligible to sign. They need to know that their shameful, criminal behaviour is known all over the planet! Thank you.

TY Brenda. Please keep me posted. I will make phone calls sign petitions anything to help Natives. This is just so wrong that we have to go to the UN to protect human beings in Canada and America. This has happened to tribal members right here.
