[recoznet2] CANDIAN RULING UNRAVELS HOLD ON INDIGENOUS LAND - Fishing Rights in Eastern Canada
MNN Mohawk Nation News. Kahnawake of Mohawk Territory. 8 Oct. 99. The following article appeared in the Montreal Gazette on Thursday October 7th 1999. FISHING RULING HELPS DESTROY WHITE MANS MYTH by Kenneth Deer The Supreme Courts decision to uphold a 1760 treaty between the king of England and the Micmac in Nova Scotia is a small but important step in the unraveling of Canadas illegal hold on indigenous peoples land and resources. What the Supreme Court did was recognize that a treaty was a binding legal instrument that should be interpreted using the written text of the document as well as the negotiating records that led to its signing. This allowed for the inclusion of the Micmac concerns to be considered even if they were not in the final draft of the treaty since it was the British who wrote the text and most likely left the Micmac concerns out of the treaty. However, the judgment is still short of the principles outlined in the United Nations Study on Treaties, Agreements and Other Constructive Arrangements between States and Indigenous Populations. The study, written by international law professor Miguel Alphonso Martinex of Cuba, a member of the Sub-Commission on the Prevention of Discrimination and Protection of Minorities, reached some very important conclusions. First of all, indigenous peoples have a right to their lands and their resources and to continue engaging, unmolested, in their traditional economic activities on these lands; and that indigenous peoples have a right to self-determination as do all peoples on Earth. The study recalls that treaties are made between nations. Treaties concluded between states and indigenous peoples have the same weight and legal status as any other treaty. States knew when they signed those treaties that they were dealing with sovereign nations and recognized them as such as the time. Only nations can sign treaties, and states knew that at the time of entering into treaties with indigenous peoples. They cannot say therefore that such treaties are internal or domestic treaties. There is no basis in law for domestic treaties. Countries like Canada and the United States try to portray their treaties with indigenous peoples as domestic agreements. All treaties are international in scope and therefore should be dealt with accordingly. The study also recalls that treaties are not what makes indigenous peoples sovereign. Treaties just confirm that states recognize their sovereignty. Just because some indigenous peoples did not sign treaties does not mean they are not sovereign. The conclusions of the UN study dismantle the premise of European dominance over the indigenous peoples of the Americas. Its a concept that shakes the Canadian establishment to its roots. That is what is happening today. With Micmac people fishing off the east coast, Salish people logging on the west coast, Mohawks servicing Internet gaming, the Canadian establishment is running scared. Fishermen and loggers are committing violence against Indians, newspapers are writing articles, columns and editorials questioning the activities of Indians, and the federal cabinet is considering legislation to negate a Supreme Court decision upholding a treaty with the Micmac. Canada must be shaking in its boots. Canada was built on the premise that the white man was dominant over the people who were already here; that, somehow, God had anointed them with the right to own all the land and resources through the divine right of kings; that these transplanted Europeans would rule over the very lives of the indigenous peoples in North America. This is the myth that the white man has used to steal the Western Hemisphere. Now that myth is slowly disintegrating. The courts, long the upholders of the myth, are now re-evaluating and changing the old, racist concepts. Even if the courts are only going part of the way, it is enough to make the entire society panic. Canadas "just society" is not so just and it is just seeing the tip of the iceberg at the cost of delaying justice to the indigenous peoples in Canada. The loggers, fishermen, columnists and government can all complain about what the country did to the indigenous peoples. Now they are paying the price. PRESENT SITUATION. The Mikmaq, Maliseet and Passamaquoddy People need your help. They have vowed to exercise their inherent powers and confirmed legal right by going out on the water to fish. The government is standing by and the police to watch as non-natives attack the Indian people and damage their property in violation of the ruling. They are asking native and non-native supporters to come to Burnt Church New Brunswick to keep the peace and protect them from organized mob rule. The mobs have desecrated Indian property and sacred sites, burnt native boats, destroyed lobster traps and have beaten up native people.

Re: [recoznet2] reconcilliation
Peter, you have put forward a view which I've long wondered about, asking myself the question, "But what does "reconciliation" really mean and why would the true People of this land *want* to be reconciled; what are they being reconciled *to*?". I guess to me reconciliation means - or at least I *hope* it means - white Australia coming at last to an understanding of the truths of the past and an absolute acceptance, deep respect for and protection of the rights of the People to be in their own traditional ways, as well as respecting and protecting the traditional cultures, the connection to the land and all that is, and doing all possible to ensure the wellbeing of the People and the land for ever and always. Not having heard of any moves to "appropriate indigenous spirituality" as being considered part of the "reconciliation process", I would be interested to hear/read more about that ... and most certainly, Peter, I agree with your comment on that. Respecting the traditional ways, spirituality, rights, etc of the People of this land is surely not in having non-indigenous Australians become "wannabe Aborigines".

Kahn-Tineta Horn, Mohawk Elder and President of the Canadian Alliance in Solidarity with the Native Peoples, will be in Sydney next year with her daughter, Waneek, who is competing in the Olympics (she will be the only indigenous athlete from Canada to be doing so!).

This was one of two texts posted today by Blackhawk, and I forward it with his permission I was visiting with my relatives... the clouds, the mountains, the sky, the trees My relatives touched my spirit, nudged it lovingly "Listen to us impatient one, we are forever You must remember the gentleness of time You are struggling to be who you are You say you want to learn the old ways Struggling to learn when all you must do is remember Remember the People, remember sky and Earth Remember the People have always struggled to live in harmony, in peace. Struggle against selfishness and weakness so the People may live as Nations, The old ways are hard, the People have always had to work together Remember impatient one, remember and live... Do not be afraid of truth, respect, discipline, share your life so the People may live. Honor sky and Earth, honor yourself, honor your relations... Remember impatient one, the gentleness of time." Grandmother Moon, you are more than light in the night You are more than the Moon You are spirit connection, your energy is our light You are memories to generations past You are the creator of sensations, they will always last You are the knowledge, the teacher, the influence to keep the People sane You are a healer from spirit pain. Grandmother Moon, we love you, and we are angry at the invaders who trash you and violate our universe with their mechanical uncleanliness. We pray for you, for us, and for the invader who just can't comprehend respect, love, or the balance of life. We do not join the invading madness >From the way they act which speaks of spirit sadness Machine, money, progress, is the cause of our common abuse. We see you Grandmother, we feel you, we love you We know through your reality we will endure. We are one. We pray for you, we pray to you. Grandfather is whispering in the wind "Rejoice at the life you are a part of, natural energy bound to natural laws. You will survive this temporary madness imposed upon you. Natural light is longer than oppressor's dillusionary insanity. Spirits experience human deeds, but need not end. This is just one place that changes Spirit life is forever if you want, the universe is your home, you can survive here. Do not let them kill you, keep your spirit strong, for distant stars and distant drums are the memories of spirit infancy Children of Earth, let the spirit live so you can grow in your place in the universe." --- RecOzNet2 has a page @ http://www.green.net.au/recoznet2 and is archived at http://www.mail-archive.com/ To unsubscribe from this list, mail [EMAIL PROTECTED], and in the body of the message, include the words:unsubscribe announce or click here mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]?Body=unsubscribe%20announce This posting is provided to the individual members of this group without permission from the copyright owner for purposes of criticism, comment, scholarship and research under the "fair use" provisions of the Federal copyright laws and it may not be distributed further without permission of the copyright owner, except for "fair use."

[recoznet2] Draft Apology Proposal
In an issue of The Age newspaper last Friday there was a large article on a draft apology proposal which I saw in Saturday's The Age had already been rejected by the Prime Minister because of it is felt that today's nation should not apologize for the wrongdoings of previous generations. What I am wondering is whether it would be possible to obtain copy of the text of that draft, and if so, from where. Could someone please advise?
