I would like to request the full article be published on the site...and in addition I think it is best practice to show indications where such editorial changes had been made to the original text, as a respect to the person who has written the article.

I feel changes to text can often take rob the written piece of its intended message.

I would like to support the previous poster and request that the uncensored version of Tyson article be printed. Tyson is continuing and is providing not only solidarity and support amongst Indigious peoples, you non indiginous peoples are fortunante to be educated to begin to understand,the modus operadai of colonisation and cutural genocide.

Censorship is patronising and a slippery road to facism. Indiginous Peoples have so few places to have their stories and voices heard. Changing, altering and censoring Kahentinetha's article is patronisingly racist. Maybe the editor needs a course on cultural safety and decolonisation.

Headline: White men get a taste of own medicine
Page: A12
Date: Thursday 17 August 2006

Terrance Nelson 'Shrill, ugly and lawless," says the Free Press
editorial Lawless rule (Aug. 9), describing the situation in Caledonia,
where the Mohawks now occupy the land.

As the chief of Roseau River, I say, "How does it feel, White Man, to
have people who come to what you consider your property, set up their
own system, refuse to go home, refuse to recognize your laws and then
when you ask them to leave, they tell you that you no longer own the
land?"

I say, bravo to the Mohawks, it is about time the white man got a taste
of his own medicine.
Speaking of lawlessness, Delgamuukw, Haida, Marshall, Taku River, and
many other Supreme Court decisions sided with the indigenous people, yet
Canada ignores the very law you say must be upheld in Caledonia. So, is
the law you speak of only good for the white guys, not for the Indians?
Why did it only take 100 days for the white business people to get $12
million of compensation from Canada and yet the Indians are still
waiting 200 years later?

You ask that First Nations be patient, to accept a process that National
Chief Phil Fontaine stated averages 27 years to settle a land claim. For
example, when CN Rail expropriated land belonging to the Birdtail Sioux
reservation in 1905 for about $80 (without the consent of the real
owners) the order-in-council removing the land from reserve status took
only three days to complete. Our Treaty Land Entitlement purchases have
not been converted, despite the fact that we have had a legally binding
agreement with Canada since 1996. Our lands in 1903 that were similarly
taken without our consent were converted to non-reservation status in 26
days with an order-in-council. So, when it benefits the white man, the
law works fine.

In Delgamuukw, the Supreme Court of Canada recognized aboriginal title,
but it also ruled that the original owners have no access to Canadian
courts to apply for injunctive relief. So, the white man has protection
against the law but not the Indian. The law you speak of, the injunctive
relief, is only available to the whites, not the Indians.

Yeah, the law is great when it is on your side, White Man. Each of the
provinces ensured that they have the notwithstanding clause, so they can
ignore the law whenever it is not in their favour. Former Ontario
premier David Peterson called Justice David Marshall's decision
"bizarre."

It is a bizarre decision, because Superior Court Justice David Marshall
would never be allowed to decide injunctive relief for the Indians. Did
you see Marshall calling the police and government officials criminals
for ignoring the law, did you see him asking to jail government
officials? Of course not. Perhaps, the Indians would have a little less
contempt for the law if it really was equal and available to everyone,
not just the white guys.

I strongly support the Mohawks of Six Nations in their application of
the indigenous notwithstanding clause to ignore this bizarre white man's
decision.

In case you don't realize the consequences yet of seeing Mohawks on TV
with bloodied faces, being beaten by OPP, I'll state this for you again.
Hundreds and hundreds of billions of dollars in resource wealth are
travelling on thousands and thousands of kilometres of railway lines in
this country. You whites did not bring these resources to our lands in
your little boats; you left your God-given resources in Europe. If you
didn't hear the anger at the Treaty 1-11 conference, where aboriginals
met to discuss the original intent of Canada's numbered treaties, you
don't realize the consequences of bloodying the faces of Mohawks. Right
now, the government is negotiating without the economic consequences of
railway blockades. Don't underestimate the consequences of killing
unarmed Mohawks.

well, thankyou good people for the support of this mohawk author.

i don't really have any say about whether or not she is censored. i feel her writing is powerful, and although a harangue in the second person is a valid genre for indigenous critical writers and speakers, unfortunately in the non-aboriginal world it is not recognised as acceptable copy.

you probably noticed how different the original article was from the sanitised version. it is a good article, this new one, and the editor is an excellent writer and a good person. it's just that the story no longer rings true with this different worldview, this alien voice speaking it.

i'm ashamed to see ms horn's name still listed as guest writer. i wonder if she will trust me enough to send me more pieces in the future?

this is hard - non-aborigines always mean well when they sanitise our voices and repackage our story for their own peoples' audience. i don't think they know how much damage this does.

anyway, i am touched that you noticed and proud that you posted your protest here. thankyou.

i've had quite a few messages about this editing. some people did not read the footnote about the chief editor having made the changes, and were blaming me. people felt betrayed by me.

the fact is, it's not my choice, and maybe this site is not the haven, the safe place for our voices that i was claiming it to be. for that i apologise.

Net censorship spreads worldwide
By Mark Ward
Technology Correspondent, BBC News

Repressive regimes are taking full advantage of the net's ability to censor and stifle reform and debate, reveals a report.

Written by the Reporters Without Borders (RSF) pressure group the report highlights the ways governments threaten the freedom of the press.

The report has a section dedicated to the internet and the growing roster of nations censoring online life.

This censorship is practised on every continent on Earth, said the report.

Power play

Although the internet is changing the way the media works as blogs, chat forums and social networking sites turn passive consumers into active critics, it is not just citizens who are taking advantage of its technological power warned the report.

Julien Pain - who heads the internet freedom desk at the RSF and was one of the report's authors, noted: "Everyone's interested in the internet - especially dictators".

Mr Pain said the world's dictators have not remained powerless in the face of the explosion of online content. By contrast, many have been "efficient and inventive" in using the net to spy on citizens and censor debate.

In many nations, the net used to be the only uncensored outlet and the place people turned to for news they would never hear about through official channels.

However, noted the report, governments have woken up to the fact that the people they regard as dissidents are active online. Many are now moving to censor blogs and the last year has seen many committed bloggers jailed for what they said in their online journal.

For instance, in Iran Mojtaba Saminejad has been in jail since February 2005 for putting online material ruled offensive to Islam.

China was the nation that came in for most criticism for its efforts to monitor and censor the net. The RSF noted that net censorship in the country had undergone a significant shift in the last two years.

Originally, said the report, China was only interested in monitoring political dissidence on the net. Now its scrutiny covers general unrest in its population - ironically something that has grown because the net makes it easier for people to communicate.

Jail term

China's success at censorship means it has effectively produced a "sanitised" version of the internet for its 130 million citizens that regularly go online.

The wide-ranging scrutiny also means that it is the biggest jailer of so-called cyber dissidents. RSF estimates that 62 people in China have been jailed for what they said online.

Net users have also been jailed in Egypt, Iran, Libya, the Maldives, Syria, Tunisia and Vietnam.

Where China has led, other nations are following and taking active steps to filter the net before it gets to their citizens. Zimbabwe is reportedly buying technology directly from China to beef up its censorship efforts.

Many other nations, including Burma, Cuba, Iran, Libya, Nepal, North Korea, Saudi Arabia, Syria, Turkmenistan, and Vietnam censor the net. Often this filtering involves stopping access to some types of sites, such as those showing pornography, but it can also involve blocking sites critical of governments or religions.

Some nations, such as Turkmenistan, have banned home net connections and restrict people to using net cafes which, said the RSF, were much easier to control. Burma has banned web e-mail systems such as Hotmail and Yahoo mail and every five minutes screen grabs are taken of what people are looking at in net cafes.

But criticism of the obstacles put before open net access was not limited to nations known for their repressive policies. The European Union was criticised too for its policy of leaving the decision on which sites to censor up to net service firms. This, said the RSF, created a "private system of justice" in which technicians take the place of a judge.

The 153-page report also criticised Western firms for selling technology to repressive regimes to help them monitor what people do online.

The report was produced to mark World Press Freedom Day.

In response to Censorship is patronising posted by uriohau:

thanks for this text. it is too scary. maybe i should stick my head in the sand and ignore it - if i'm worrying about the govt bashing the door down and having me shot for the crime of anti-colonialism... well, that level of paranoia wouldn't be conducive to good critical writing, would it?

anyway, this particular issue is a case of indigenous genres failing to find a place in non-indigenous domains. there is a certain idea and standard of what sort of language and genre needs to be used in domains such as this one, and this cultural exclusivity is something that seems to be inherent in these anglo-dominated domains. this is implicit in the medium we are using here - there is no particular malice in the exclusion of indigenous voices, but more of a cultural mismatch.

i intend to continue pushing the boundaries between these worldviews with my "articles" and blogs. in time people may come to accept different forms of literacy, and come to regard different oralculture style texts as being equally literate and powerful. i encourage indigneous guestwriters to join me in this, and continue to send me articles which push the boundaries of what is considered "marginal" in this exclusive domain.

the suite editor is keen to explore this new ground with me in a synergistic way that reconciles the needs of the predominantly western audience with our own need to express ourselves and maintain customary genres and a strong native voice.

i have no way of knowing how this will turn out. but in the meantime, i think discussions such as these are very powerful ones, and this space is a good one to use for promoting an anti-colonial viewpoint without concerns about form or western structures of logic and genre.

well, i don't know what will happen to the kahentinetha horn's article. i think it will probably be deleted. but i am glad it spent a few days where it was, and was read by so many people.

her message and her cause are righteous.

the latest from kahentinetha bear.

enjoy.

WE?RE STILL HERE. EVER WONDER WHY?

MNN. Aug. 21, 2006. We?ve been invaded, attacked, 99% of us have been killed off and the remainder have been pauperized, marginalized and colonized. There are no monuments to the biggest holocaust in all humanity, the genocide of our people in the Western Hemisphere. Hundreds, maybe thousands, of our Indigenous nations have been wiped clean from the record.

Why are the survivors still raising a ruckus? As one Indigenous man said, after receiving a threat or two, ?You still want to kill us off, don?t you? You?d better get every last one of us. Because if there?s one left, we?re gonna put up one heck of a fight.?

At the end of August 2001, my brother, Taiotekane, called me and told me of a strange dream he had the night before. An old Indigenous man came to him and took him up to the top of one of the highest buildings in New York City. They stood together and looked down at Manhattan Island. They could see all the buildings that had been constructed with the help of Iroquois/Mohawk ironworkers. The old man turned to Taiotekane and proclaimed, ?Something big is coming!? That?s all!

Taiotekane thought the old man was referring to our constitution, Kaianereh?ko:wa/Great Law of Peace. When a disaster is coming, we have a duty to go to the top of the Tree of Peace. Like an eagle, we are to look afar. If we see something that may endanger our people, we have a duty to warn them of an impending disaster. The Mohawks, as guardians of the ?Eastern Door? of Turtle Island, have always watched the door that has stood for freedom for many people from all over the world.

Two weeks later the Twin Towers, also called the ?World Trade Center?, in New York City were taken down! Who rushed there to help? The Iroquois/Mohawk ironworkers! They had helped build it and knew how to take apart the rubble that was left after the disaster now known as ?9-11?.

In New York City harbor stands the Statue of Liberty. France recognized that city as the gateway to liberty. It has been the sanctuary of the world for democracy for hundreds of years. On Turtle Island the invaders found a society based on the natural world in which all individuals are equal, allowed to express their individuality and work in the best interests of their fellow human beings. In fact the spokespeople are the servants of the people, not their lords and masters. There is a different spirit over Turtle Island. It is the fountain of democracy which comes out of the minds of the Indigenous people.

Though the founding ?fathers? adopted some concepts from our constitution, the Great Law, an artificial system was put over it which just doesn?t fit. The hardships we are having today are because a transplanted hierarchical system from Europe was superimposed on top of the Indigenous egalitarian model. To own and control Turtle Island the original people have to be totally removed.

Remaining would be a pyramid type society. This objective is symbolized on the American dollar where the ?all-seeing eye? is at the top of the pyramid watching everybody. ?Big brother? at the apex is in the artificially created position of dominance and control over the people. This unnatural organization has to be maintained at gunpoint. This structure eventually crashes down on itself because it is corrupts the natural world and human nature.

The colonial governments and institutions have thrown money, military, alcohol, drugs, imprisonment, even death, at Indigenous People from every direction to take us off our course. When we became lost and confused, we returned to our roots and quickly reverted to our natural state and regained our balance.

The founders of the US constitution tried to model their constitution after ours but neglected to apply the main principles of equality and consensus. That?s why it doesn?t truly benefit the majority. It places a few in positions of control. Indigenous teachers are needed to re-instruct Parliament and Congress on how to run egalitarian governments that treat people as human beings. Otherwise there is a catastrophe brewing for Turtle Island.

Our true democracy is under attack. As long as Turtle Island remains in the hands of the true owners, the Indigenous people, it will be safe. Like the old man and my brother, we are on top of the buildings shouting to the whole world, ?Watch out! When we and our land are destroyed, you will lose your freedom and become enslaved. Get up and start helping us fight for ours and your rights?.

A good example of why we are concerned is by looking at the aftermath of ?Hurricane Katrina?. The people of New Orleans continue to face hardships because the United States has put a lot of its resources and energies into destroying people. They are good at building military installations and jails. They can make weapons of mass destruction and set up systems of oppression. They continually invent ways to destroy people and take away their liberties. Their hierarchical system of dominance makes it difficult to put their minds on saving people. One year later the people of New Orleans are still living in their cars and scattered all over the country.

We, the Indigenous people of the world, are the spokespeople for our mother, the earth. Corporations and the governments they control are trying to shut us up, eliminate us or demonize us. They don?t like our complaints about the destruction of the environment, the pollution of our rivers, the elimination of so many species and the killing of our people, animals and vegetation. Everybody is conditioned to climb to the top by stepping on somebody else.

They are trying to stop the awakening of the minds of the Indigenous people and our friends and allies. Saving the earth starts with people changing the way they think. Our message is touching the minds of some non-natives. Everyone knows we are the true owners of the earth. Our connection with the natural world and the great natural power is being aroused. We have to return to our true ways as the human beings specially created to take care of the earth.

It has not been easy. We have had to cut through the lies and deceit by those who are trying to stop us. The non-native people?s attachment to the land through the Indigenous people is being severed. A disastrous imbalance is upon us. We must all seek this innate balance to bring back the natural way. To do this we all have to strengthen our connection to the natural world.

The true power of the Indigenous people cannot be manipulated. All the propaganda and distortions of reality on the corporate media, in the education systems and the whole man-made ideology will fall on deaf ears.

We, the Six Nations/Mohawks, are the title holders of the most populous area of northeastern Turtle Island. Wall Street, the United Nations, the major ivy league schools and West Point are all on Six Nations land. Control of the world by the corporate-government-military industrial complex emanates from here. We have to bring our territory back to a healthy natural state. We should be talked to with acknowledgement and respect. Not destroyed.

Our democratic philosophy that created liberty and democracy has been put out of context. It has been proven many times that leadership by force does not work in the long run. Only when the power is with the people does true democracy work.

Even though we, our agricultural prowess, our law, our constitution, our social and economic structure have been studied, they still don?t get it. It is time for the people to make their colonial masters come to terms with all of us.

best thing i can think to do is keep posting sister bear's work right here in this thread. t

THE VAMPIRES STRIKE BACK: ?ONE DEAD INDIAN? BLOOD AND GORE TO CONDITION THE MASSES

MNN. Sept. 7, 2006. Why are CTV and APTN showing the film, ?One Dead Indian? over and over again? This film is about the Ontario Provincial Police OPP attack on the Stoney Point people who were defending their land, known as ?Ipperwash?. Dudley George was shot and killed in cold blood.

When they sit and watch this, who are the Canadians identifying with? Many would be with the Indigenous People, some would be neutral and a few would see the viewpoint of the cops. Then there is the lunatic fringe and some of the ordinary people who had no previous interest in Indigenous issues. These two groups would be drawn in subconsciously. They are the ones the establishment wants to reach and influence. These people who might end up watching this because they?re looking for a good action flick.

When people watch the bull fights, after seeing a few bulls ritually executed with blood flying all over the place and the matadors taking bows for the murders, the crowd screams for more blood. There is no therapeutic value in any of this.

Why aren?t they trying to stop the arousing of anti-Indian feelings? Reasonable and rational thinking about constructive ways to deal with Indigenous people and our grievances should get equal time on television, in the movies and on the media.

Canadians have been conditioned all along to see Indigenous People as the lowest rung on their hierarchical ladder. To this day they?re being taught that people who live in the natural world are ?primitive?. We have been ?spun? as someone they can look down and trample on to make them feel superior.

Look at the 500 Indian women who have disappeared. The police won?t do an investigation. Was this because they think they?re primitive? What about the Indigenous boys who were left out in the snow to freeze to death? The cops put them there. Only when the Indigenous People made an outcry was something done. The cops shot J.J. Harper on the streets of Winnipeg. The subsequent film gives a sympathetic view of the police officer who killed him. There were discussions about how to cover this up right in the film. After it was shown nationally, no Parliamentarians were outraged nor did they condemn such a depiction. During the Oka Mohawk Crisis of 1990 two old men were stoned to death which was shown over and over again on national news to get people used to how to treat ?Indians?.

?One Dead Indian? depicts us as a problem. The viewers are being conditioned to think that the solution is to kill off all of us. They want to see us suffer and bleed. They?re being conditioned to see us as natural targets. For their fulfillment and to set us up for the corporate/government agenda, movie makers are being given millions of dollars of government funds to make gory bloody films about Indians. Never are they shown how we can sit together as equals and discuss our legitimate relationship.

During the 1920?s and 30?s Germany put out propaganda depicting Jews in cariacature. German people were conditioned to accept the ?final solution? which was to exterminate a race.

When people see Indians being shot, abused, beaten up and killed often enough, it makes them want to see more Indian blood. This is the old Cowboys and Indians movies paradigm.

About six months ago the New York Times did a scathing article on the Mohawks of Akwesasne, which was publicized all over the world. Their main message was that we are criminals and deserve the bad treatment we are getting and going to get more of. Akwesasne, they say, is a haven for criminals and that Mohawks are part of ?organized crime?. The U.S. is trying to get people to think that our warriors are ?terrorists?. Who planted the story? It?s part of the continual assault against us. It?s meant to justify whatever they do to us in their genocidal quest.

A lot of the initiatives against us seem to be coming from the United States. Why are they doing this? It?s because Indigenous People stand in the way of their exploitation of our resources. Don?t forget, most of the companies operating in Canada today are U.S. owned and controlled. They?re the same corporate giants that control the U.S. government. They?ve obviously taken control of some parts of the Canadian government.

The ATF (Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms) came to Canada to work with the OPP. How long have they been here? Maybe for 20 years! Our people catching them was hardly mentioned in the corporate media. It would have been a scandal to Canada a few decades ago. This has got to be one of the biggest outcomes of the Six Nations land reclamation issue. We found out who our enemies are, that Canadian institutions are just puppets for corporate America. Who has been organizing the attacks on us? Is it a U.S. procedure that has been put in place by people in Canada who?ve been bought off or manipulated?

Could this be similar to what happened back in 1812? This is when Tecumseh and General Brock beat back the American general who declared they were taking over Canada, ?Your choice is to join with us or enslavement!? This was the first time the U.S. ever invaded foreign soil. Invasions of this kind are a continuing theme in Canada-US relations. It?s obviously happening again? This time what?s shockingly different is that Canadians seem to neither notice nor care. It?s being done through control of the economy and by infiltrating the police and governmental institutions. This is how the U.S. has already marched into Canada and no one even knows. The ruthlessness of the U.S. towards Indigenous People will frighten Canadians so they will be too scared to resist the takeover.

What are the politicians and their corporate bosses getting the Canadian public ready for? They have invaded Iraq and Afganistan. They appear to be getting ready to invade Iran. The new ?passport control? is probably going to end up as a ?bait and switch? operation. People will get so upset about the passports, they?ll accept the ?smart cards? that allow control without even noticing how much freedom they?re losing.

The U.S. is the only nation in the history of the world that dropped nuclear bombs against another nation. They are blood thirsty and brag about it when they teach history, especially their ruthless takeover of Turtle Island from the Indigenous People.

In the recent covert operations against the Six Nations land reclamation, nothing goes back onto the police forces, even though they?re behind it. Their tactic is using (un)ordinary people to do their dirty work, such as the skinheads, faschists, KKK, the Brown Shirts and the heavily state funded Caledonia Citizens Alliance to attack the Indigenous people. These groups might all have died out had they not been called back into service and funded by the state. Just what is the justification in using tax money to finance hate groups like these?

?One Dead Indian? satiates the appetite for Indian blood for this portion of the public. It?s part of their indoctrination. This is similar to the frenzy of sharks when blood is thrown among them, called ?chumming the water?. The sharks can smell the blood from miles away. They speed towards it./ It drives them crazy. They eat everything except each other. Then they need more and more blood. They?re driven to attack again and again.

The ancestors of the non-natives on Turtle Island did kill off 99% of the Indigenous people in the Western Hemisphere. These people today are their descendants. They?re being indoctrinated to release their self-control through video games and violent films where multitudes of people are violently killed.

The police and army are trained to shoot at targets that are replicas of their enemies. In Saskatchewn the police were caught shooting at a replica of an Indigenous woman. It?s meant to stir up their hatred for the targeted people.

How do we protect ourselves? Making people realize they have been set up as tools to eliminate the descent within their society of totalitarianism.

This is how the U.S. prepares their society for war against helpless people around the world. They use their military hardware to shoot innocent people as practice to exercise their dominance over other human beings.

At first some of the soldiers say they do not like what they are ordered to do. However, these young soldiers are trained to be sadists and are trigger happy. They go to war as nonchalantly as kids go to video arcades at the mall. To them going to Iraq is like going to a local garbage dump and shooting rats. They begin to enjoy menacing and killing defenseless people. After a while they can?t control themselves. Don?t forget, they?ve been given carte blanche to kill people without impunity. Remember the public inquiry on the Mai Lai massacre during the Vietnam War when the soldiers went on a murderous rampage killing countless innocent women and children?

Today on Turtle Island we are being used as their guinea pigs. The so-called super master race (billionaires of the world) feels they can abuse and kill those of other skin colors and languages whom they have determined to be inferior to them.

During the Oka Crisis of 1990, Canada brought over Col. Musgrave who had developed the strategies for the British in their conflict against the Irish. In a newspaper article, he bragged that he could break down the Mohawks in three weeks. They started flying jets and choppers over us all night long so we could not sleep, shot and detonated concussion bombs and flares, held back food and then gave it to us, spread fear among the public by showing threatening videos on television about all the warheads we had, spread lies and propaganda and shut lights and water off and on. It didn?t work. In fact, it backfired! Some of the soldiers involved had nervous breakdowns.

Their masters are experimenting on those they consider to be inferior and whose life isn?t worth anything to them. In fact, getting rid of us would be very beneficial to them. Then they would complete their illegal theft of our land.

?One Dead Indian? shows us hundreds of menacing cops ?goose stepping? into Ipperwash, banging in unison on their shields. This reminds us of the Gestapo in movies about Nazi Germany where they marched into the Jewish areas of the cities. They must be getting the public ready for a total police state. A few former OPP officers are absolutely disgusted with the direction their force has gone.

Martial already exists in Indian country. As long as we behave according to their dictates, we don?t see the cops. As soon as we step out of line we see the armed forces showing up in droves. Why can Canada and other colonial nations that are squatting on Indigenous territory defend their so-called ?sovereignty?? If we try to defend our human rights and our sovereignty against their brutality, we are called ?terrorists? and criminalized.

Like the vampires, once they start drinking blood, they can only stay alive by drinking more blood. These corporate and government vampires are trying to suck the blood out of the people who are preaching peace to the world.

Canadians, you?re next!
