Natives to Reclaim New York State?

More madness...

Well, Caledonia may just be the tip of the iceburg... apparently, documents have now been filed seeking to recalim THE ENTIRE STATE OF NEW YORK.

DATE: September 29, 2005

FROM: Women Title Holders of the land of the Kanion’ke:haka/Mohawk Nation, also known as the Rotinonhsonnion:we/Six Nations Iroquois Confederacy, on Turtle Island;

According to Wampum 44 of our law, the Kaianereh’ko:wa/Great Law, we are the “progenitors of the soil” and caretakers of the land, water and air of Turtle Island. We object to our constitutional jurisdiction in our land being violated. As the trustees, we are obligated to preserve and protect the land’s integrity for the future generations.

TO: President of the United States; New York State government and agencies; Bureau of Indian Affairs; United Nations; Royal Bank of Scotland, Bank of New York; and the St. Regis Mohawk Tribe Inc.

OBJECTIONS:

I. TO THE USURPATION OF OUR JURISDICTION OVER “NEW YORK STATE” AND BEYOND BY THE U.S., N.Y.S., NON-INDIGENOUS ENTITIES, CORPORATIONS, FOREIGN FEDERAL, STATE, COUNTY, BOARDS, STATE TRIBAL “GOVERNANCE” AGENCIES AND ALL OTHER “OUTSIDERS”. WE DEMAND THAT YOU CEASE AND DESIST IMMEDIATELY YOUR PLANS TO MAKE CLAIMS TO OUR LANDS AND TO OTHERWISE INVADE AND EXPLOIT OUR TERRITORY.

II. TO ILLEGALLY PLACE OUR TERRITORY INTO FEDERAL TRUST WITH THE BUREAU OF INDIAN AFFAIRS. WE DEMAND THAT YOU CEASE AND DESIST YOUR SCAM TO PUT ANY OF OUR LANDS INTO TRUST, INCLUDING LANDS KNOWN AS “MONTICELLO”, “SULLIVAN COUNTY”, “ONEIDA” AND “SENECA” HOMELANDS OR ANY LANDS TO BUILD CASINOS ON OR DO ANY DEVELOPMENT.

And here's the kicker...
III. TO INFORM STOCK EXCHANGES WORLDWIDE THAT WE STILL OWN OUTRIGHT ALL THE LAND AND RESOURCES OF TURTLE ISLAND. THESE FOREIGN CORPORATIONS CANNOT LEGALLY PUT UP OUR LAND AS COLLATERAL TO SOLICIT PUBLIC FUNDS FOR DEVELOPMENTS ON OUR LAND THEY WILL NEVER OWN.

FOR THE ABOVE REASONS WE REQUIRE THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES TO IMMEDIATELY:

1. Intervene in the theft of our jurisdiction over our indigenous ter­ritory now called “New York State” and beyond;

2. Stop this fraudulent secret transfer of land into federal trust;

3. Demand that stock exchanges worldwide stop listing and investigate these fraudulent corporations that solicit funds from the public fraudulently using unceded Indigenous lands as collateral;

4. Be officially informed of how international, federal, state and provincial entities can violate international law and the rule of law by forcing colonial jurisdiction over Indigenous territory that we never surrendered.
