MNN. Dec. 1, 2006. How can Prime Minister Harper declare

Quebec a nation when Canada isn't even a nation? Under international

law, to be a state, a people need a land base and a language. They

have no land base and their languages are from Europe. And nobody

ever decided what a nation is. But we know a nation isn't a bunch of

mongrels camping out on someone else's turf. The land belongs to us.

The people, the languages, their laws, their dirty diseases and

corrupt immoral habits, that all came from Europe.

When they came here the king told them they must deal fairly with

the Indigenous people. They were supposed to learn one of our

languages. Let's face it these French and English people were abused

in their homelands. The law of the land here is Indigenous. So what

did they do? They tried to totally exterminate us.

With all this hullabaloo over Quebec pretending to become a nation

on Indigenous land, we thought we should give a short history

lesson. In 1534 Jacques Cartier came to Turtle Island. He went down

the " Big River " , abducted some native people and took them back to

France. He came back the next year. We had gone berry picking and he

said we had gotten lost in our own back yard. He wrote some stories

that we had disappeared. We can assure you we have not. He was

trying to get more money to come for another trip here. In the

meantime, the French cleaned up their streets and jails and sent

them over here to fill up their penal system they had set up in

Quebec City, just like in Australia. They wanted to use their people

for slave labor. These inmates were in dire straits and needed our

help to survive.

Then de Champlain arrived and started a settlement in Quebec

City in 1607. Next year they'll be celebrating this event. To make

it authentic, we think everybody should wear black and white striped

outfits with a ball and chain around their ankles.

After thousands of years of peace, the French got the Huron and

Algonquin to turn against us, the Iroquois. In 1609 Champlain went

to Ticonderoga with some Indian guides and a few French soldiers

with guns. This was the first time we ever saw guns. Champlain

boasted that with his " arquebus " , " I keeled two chiefs with one

bullett! " This story was written up all over Europe to make this

lying psychopathic murderer into a hero.

Then he started the 92-year war with the Iroquois. Before this the

Algonquin called us " Iros " , which means fire. Champlain liked to

attached Frenchy bastardizations to Indigenous words. He

added " quois " which means " what " ? He was always wondering what was

going on! Mohawk is another Algonquin word which means " eaters of

French men " or something like that. We call ourselves the

Kanion'ke:haka, which means " people of the flint " .

Champlain went down to Lake Kanion'ke:haka. He renamed it " Lake

Champlain " after himself so he could be a big superstar in Europe.

He was so busy promoting himself that in 1614 when he went on a

campaign in January with French regulars, they didn't have snow

shoes or winter clothes. Hundreds froze to death. He mounted three

unsuccessful campaigns to wipe out the Mohawks. [Who's sorry now?]

King Louis in 1640 said, " We will eradicate the Iroquois from the

face of zee earth " , boasting about killing us all off. They didn't

like us from the beginning. They knew to take the land and inhabit

it, they had to kill off the real owners. That way they could call

it uninhabited territory. Did we want to hang out with these guys?

Not on your life!

Because of the treachery of the Huron, we invaded them in 1645 in

Ontario, their homeland. 10,000 Iroquois defeated 30,000 Huron. It

was one of the greatest military victories in the history of

warfare. In four years they no longer existed.

The French lost their Huron allies and their Ontario base for their

beaver trade and existed after that in Quebec City.

After 92 years of war the French sued for peace with us. It was

under another King Louis. This was the Great Peace of Montreal

signed on June 25, 1701. One month later we went to Albany and cut a

deal with Britain to share the beaver hunting grounds but not the

land. We could never give up the land as it belongs to the unborn

generations and we are the title holders. The whole concept of

buying and selling land never existed here. This agreement was

according to our foreign policy known as the Guswentha, the Two Row

Wampum, the most brilliant foreign policy ever devised. We were

equal and kept what was ours. The British were to remain in their

ship with their laws, language, culture and ways. The Iroquois were

to stay in our canoe with our laws, language, culture, ways and land.

By 1649 the Huron were gone from Ontario. We occupied their land. In

the 1701 in the Great Peace of Montreal, the Huron formally

relinquished all their territory. They recognized that this is all

Iroquois land - the St Lawrence Valley, the Great Lakes watershed,

all the way to Iowa and down through New York state right down to

Cherokee lands. In Albany the British confirmed this through the

Nanfan Treaty, otherwise known as the " Beaver Hunting Ground Treaty " .

We had peace with the French for the first time since they got here.

But we never trusted them again. 1701 was historic because we made

peace with both the French and the British. In 1754 the English

under General Wolfe attacked the French under General Montcalm at

Quebec on the Plains of Abraham. Then the English claimed control

over the French in Canada. It wasn't legal because it was on our

land. They should have all just left. Instead, they decided to squat

here.

Quebec City is Algonquin land. What are the French now going to call

themselves? Canada is a Mohawk word. Ontario is a Mohawk word.

Toronto is a Mohawk word. They stole our land, resources and words.

We are not sure what " Quebec " means in Algonquin, but we heard it

means, " kiss my ass " . " Mohawk " too was a slang word that the

Algonquin called us. It means something like " the one eyed, one

horned flying purple people eaters " .

The English tried to assert their dominance over the French settlers

in Quebec who were living like dogs. If it wasn't for the Indians,

they would have starved to death. The French had no women here, so

King Louis sent over a ship load of orphan girls between ages 12 and

15 for all his French friends called the " filles du roi " . They were

the king's daughters that were picked up on the streets. Most of

them died. So today those uppity descendants in Quebec society who

call themselves " pur laine " , which means " pure bull " , are really the

descendants of that shipload of abused little girls who were used as

whores and sold off.

Before the American Revolutionary War, the British set up Upper and

Lower Canada. The French people were mistreated by these

megalomaniac British bums as being a notch below them. Imagine! We

just hid in the bushes and watched all these crazy white people as

they strutted about and salivated over our lands and resources.

They're still doing that.

Then the American Revolutionary War started. The French came from

France and helped the American rebels. Ben lin got the French

to help by putting up the lands of the Oneida of the Iroquois

Confederacy as collateral. The French from France were hoping that

by helping the Americans they could come back and try to take over

our land again. Listen! Nobody has our land but us! The Americans

became independent of Britain. Then an imaginary border was put over

our land.

In 1813 Sullivan's army was coming in to attack Montreal. They could

not get by us at Kahnawake. We were there with our Mohawk buddies

from Kanesatake and Akwesasne. This was known as the battle of

Chateauguay

In the early 1800's, the Americans tried to come and take over our

lands many times. We had a few surprises for them. The first battle

that British General Isaac Brock claimed was at Michelemackinac.

That's when the Americans who were terrified of the Mohawk warriors,

surrendered. The British claimed the victory in that battle. Then it

was the battle at Detroit. Tecumseh with his warriors and the

Mohawks were on one side. They scared the Americans into

surrendering again.

Then in 1812 Brock's next so-called battle was at Queenston Heights.

2,500 Americans came across the Niagara River to do battle. But the

U.S. militia refused to cross the line because, they made the excuse

that in the U.S. Constitution the militia could not go onto a

foreign soil. Brock was in his tent sleeping. When the battle

started, he ran out like a big idiot with a sword. He took a musket

ball in the head and died instantly. Actually he was trying to run

away. The British grabbed their dead hero general and ran all the

way to St. Catharines. So 80 Mohawk warriors stayed behind and took

the guns off the Americans. When we beat them back, the British came

running back and took all the credit. Now there's a big huge

monument of General Brock between Niagara Falls and Fort .

Guess you gotta be stupid to get a monument.

The Guswentha had created 3000 years of peace on Turtle Island until

the arrival of the French. Then the British started moving in.

After the war of 1812, the French immigrants were laying around

licking their wounds in Montreal. The British were very mean to

them, like they were to people all over the world. Then the

corporation of Canada was formed in 1867. For the first time, the

French felt they had some power in the pretend democracy of Canada.

They had become the most populous of the immigrants and started

flexing their tiny little muscles. Now they're flexing their big fat

mouths and their little pea brains.

There were many French Prime Ministers because they had a lot of

voters. The priests were hounding them all the time to have a lot of

kids to keep up the " revenge of the cradle " or " overuse of the womb "

strategy.

We never left our homeland. We never sent our Mohawk men and women

all over the world like they did. We stayed home. Not one inch of

our land was ever given up. We agreed to share our land according to

the Guswentha.

If they want to be independent, they better go back to France.

That's where they belong. We all know it's our land. We have laws

and constitutions which they have to stop ignoring. Now that they

think they're a nation, maybe they can fly back on Air France to

where they came from and stop bothering us. They don't have to take

those boats with the big sails on them anymore.
