Subject: RE: BS: Our home and native land--sometimes.
I feel that the greatest positive difference that's being made right now, is that there are a few people who haven't forgotten their history, who stand on the Rule of Law rather than the Rule of Force, and are willing to put it all on the line for the sake of their people, culture and future generations. It takes a lot of guts. Tyendinaga, like Six Nations is a small community. However, they refuse to be bullied or threatened into submission. This was tried in Kahnesatake (Oka) in 1990...a fiasco perpetuated by the Surete de Quebec over the expansion of a golf course. Cpl.Lemay, was shot by his own force. Turns out that he was due to give testimony on police corruption later in the summer. Convenient. Anyhow, there's enough info on that event available. What we don't want is for anybody else to get killed, no matter which side. The OPP are holding the weapons.... and we are observers.... that's another positive... we have them all surrounded....

if you want more background into this or related matters in this part of the country... you an check Mohawk Nation News on the net... founded by Kahntineta Horn..

thanks for 'listening' Nia wen
