"Legal Status of the
Six Nations of New
York": Excerpt from
The 1892 United
States Extra Census
Bulletin
"The conclusion is
irresistible that
the Six Nations are
nations by treaty
and law, and have
long since been
recognized as such
by the United States
and the state of New
York, and an
enlightened public
will surely hesitate
before proceeding to
divest these people
of long-established
rights without their
consent -- rights
recognized and
confirmed in some
cases by the
immortal Washington
and by more than a
hundred years of
precedents and
legislation."

I am still
in desperate need of financial help for my
legal defense, to help use my case to
highlight the hypocrisy and
criminality of the Canadian government for
allowing Bush into Canada, as well as to
firmly establish the legal defense of
"civil resistance", the duty of citizens to
act when our governments and their agents
are derelict in their duty. This
will be very useful in the future to reign
these criminals in.

Continuing on the prior subject,

Splitting the Sky (born January 7,
1952) is an
activist, struggling for justice for
the
indigenous peoples of the Americas. His
Mohawk name, Dacajeweiah,
translated into English is "Splitting the
Sky". He was born in Buffalo, New York,
colonized as "John Boncore", and also
became known as "John Hill". From the
age of seven, Splitting the Sky survived
many years in New York foster homes and
youth detention centers in which he was
ill-treated. Eventually he would become the
only man convicted as a ringleader of the
infamous 1971
Attica State Prison rebellion in upstate
New York, in the course of which 43 inmates
were killed. This event has inspired several
movies -- "Against the Wall" (1994)
starring
Samuel L. Jackson, and "Attica"
(1980) starring
Morgan Freeman -- and documentaries
including "Attica" (1974), and
"The Ghosts of Attica" (2001). He was
listed by former
UN
Ambassador
Andrew Young of the Carter
administration as the number one
political prisoner in the USA in 1975.
Splitting the Sky founded an organization to
unite all Indigenous Peoples into a great
confederation called the League of
Indigenous Sovereign Nations of the Western
Hemisphere (LISN). In 1995 he was the
Sun Dance Chief at Gustafsen Lake,
British Columbia, during the
Gustafsen Lake Standoff, which was
precipitated by a rancher who attempted to
evict the Sun Dancers from what he claimed
was his property. The incident turned into a
major protest against the occupation of
unceded native land. Splitting the Sky was
an outspoken critic of the government's
handling of the incident and was among those
who raised the question of so-called
Aboriginal Title under international law.
Specifically, aboriginal title is enshrined
under the
Royal Proclamation of 1763, which is
validated as an aboriginal right in
section (35) of the Canadian constitution.
With his wife Sandra Bruderer, whose
Cree name translates to "She Keeps the
Door", he co-wrote a 653 page book titled
"".
The Struggle for Original People’s
Title
Dissidentvoice.org by Kim
Petersen / April 7th, 2008
(excerpt
only)
Dacajeweiah (Splitting the Sky), or John
Boncore Hill, is a Kanien’keha:ka (Mohawk)
warrior who has experienced extraordinarily
much in his lifetime of struggle for
justice. He was a central figure in two of
the major standoffs in the twentieth
century. Therefore, it is not surprising
that his autobiography, From Attica
Lake to Gustafsen Lake — Unmasking the
Secrets of the Psycho-sexual Energy and the
Struggle for Original People’s Title,
written with his wife Sandra (She Keeps The
Door) Bruderer, is a hefty book at 653
pages.
Splitting the Sky takes readers colloquially
through his amazing life events, making the
book an easy and informative, but
necessarily long, read. Throughout his
autobiography, he exposes the racist and
imperialist agenda of colonialist
governments in Turtle Island (North
America). As a bookend, he tells of the
struggle for Indigenous dignity and rights
by a group of Sundancers at Ts’peten, aka
Gustafsen Lake, in British Columbia (BC) and
the so-called justice meted out afterwards.
An early eerie ordeal was Splitting the
Sky’s incarceration in New York’s notorious
Attica State Prison.
Splitting the Sky was the only person
sentenced to do prison time following the
hostage-taking of prison guards that
precipitated the state’s lethal storming of
Attica on 13 September 1971, on the order of
then New York governor Nelson Rockefeller.
State police officers were implicated in the
killing of, at least, 39 people, including
10 hostages at Attica prison. Splitting the
Sky related how outlawed CN-4 gas was
dropped into the jail before troops burst in
and “were systematically killing in a blood
rage like a thirst that could not be
quenched.” A commission led by New York law
professor Robert McKay described the assault
as the “bloodiest one-day encounter between
Americans, except for the massacres against
Indians of the 19th Century.” Rockefeller
called his decision to retake the prison “a
matter of principle.” Splitting the Sky
considered that Rockefeller had “sanctioned
the death of 43 human beings” that day.
The major focus of the book, however, is on
Gustafsen Lake, a lightly populated
wilderness area in south-central BC, near
the town of 100 Mile House. In 1995, a group
of Original Peoples gathered there to
celebrate the Sundance ceremony, previously
forbidden by Canadian authorities. Splitting
the Sky was honored as the chief of the
ceremony.
Trouble arose when some ranch hands of the
purported land owner, Lyle James, rode in,
disturbed the sacred ceremonial site, and
made derogatory remarks about “red niggers.”
This incited a confrontation and the
so-called occupation of the Gustafsen Lake
ranch.
