ANISHINABEK MEN REMOVE THEIR INDIAN STATUS

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Tuesday June 11, 2012

TORONTO- Two young men from the Anishinabek Community of Beausoleil First Nation located on the southern shores of Georgian Bay near Penetanguishene On, will be handing in their Status Cards at the Ontario Regional Indian Affairs Branch in Toronto today in an attempt to emancipate themselves from the Indian Act.

“Being chained to the Indian Act is not representative of who we are as the Anishinabek Nation. By agreeing to these status cards we are agreeing to accept policies that are in breach of our Nation to Nation Agreements we have with the Crown.” explains Richard Peters one of the Anishinabek Men.

The two Anishinabek Men are also currently reoccupying their people’s Traditional Territories where for the past three months they have established reclamation encampments in Coldwater On and Awenda Provincial Park in opposition of their communities acceptance of the Coldwater Narrows Experiment Settlement Offer which calls for the Abosolute Surrender of their Traditional Territories.

” We are not Indian we are Anishinabek with agreements with the Crown. Through this action we are publicly announcing our emancipation from the Indian Act and reject the representation from any Indian Act governed entities that claim authority over the Sovereignty of the Three Fires Anishinabek Confederacy. We acknowledge that the Indian Act Band Chief and Councils are modern day Indian Agents who are accountable to the Canadian State. This action is not to be mistaken as an extinguishment of our entitlement to the established Treaties. We will be taking future arrangements where treaty entitlements and lands are not to be withheld or governed within this illegal Indian Act Band system.” explains Johnny Hawke.

The pair are reestablishing Anishinabek Clan Governance and Traditional Indigenous Alliances at these camps. They will be rescinding their Indian Status at 1pm at the AANDC Regional Offices 25 St. Clair Avenue East Toronto, Ontario.

ANISHINABEK ENCAMPMENT MOVES INTO PROVINCIAL PARK

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

 

Wednesday May 9, 2012

 

ANISHINABEK  ENCAMPMENT MOVES INTO PROVINCIAL PARK

 

Organizers of an Anishinabek Awareness Encampment that has been occupying Coldwater Canadiana Heritage Museum for the past three weeks have announced today their camps relocation in Awenda Provincval Park located in Tiny Township.

 

“We didn’t want to create any issues with the town of Coldwater where the museums Board of Directors have asked us to leave. We wanted to remain obligated to our peace and felt that any alternative actions would’ve sidetracked our message.” explains Kai Kai Kons, one of the camps organizers.

 

The organizers have been calling their initiative the Oshkimaadziig Unity Camp where they say they want to mobilize and educate all people on the Nation to Nation Relationship the Crown has with Sovereign Indigenous Nations as well as their Intertribal Agreements. They also wish to see the Crown held accountable for breaching such agreements.

 

“We choose Awenda Park because of the ties we have to this area. This is one of the Gathering places where our Hereditary Chiefs and People would meet to have Council. It is one of five gathering areas woven in the Ojibway Friendship Wampum Belt which we have with the Six Nations Confederacy.” explains Kai Kai Kons.

 

Organizers of the Camp say their initiative is a result of First Nations accepting Canada’s Land Claim Settlement Offers which breach the Constitution and the established Nation to Nation Agreements.

 

“There is no avenue for us to opt out of these illegal processes and to assert our Sovereignty. We wish to remain who we are and abide by our teachings and agreements set out by our ancestors.” explains Memeskwaniniisi another of the Camps Organizers.

 

Park Warden and OPP Emeregnecy Response Team plain clothed officers are closely monitoring this peaceful cultural gathering.

 

The Camp is providing various initiatives which include, Reestablishing Anishinabek Clan Governance, Intertribal Alliances, Ceremonies, On the Land Survival Skills, Decolonization Workshops

Oral History and various teachings from Elders and Youth.

 

The Camp is located at 400 Awenda Park Rd, Tiny Twnshp, ON at the corner of Awenda Park Rd and All Port Rd look for Signs and Flags

NATIVE CAMP ASKED TO LEAVE

 

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

 

Wednesday April, 25 2012

 

 

NATIVE CAMP ASKED TO LEAVE

 

Coldwater Heritage Museum Board of Ditrectors have requested to the organizers of an Anishinabek Oshkimaadzig Camp to pack up and leave the Museum’s property as soon as possible in a show of good faith after setting up camp without permission.

 

The Camp has been set up for over a week by three Anishinabek Men who are trying to bring an awareness of the 1764 Niagara Treaty Belt, 24 Nations Belt, Two Row Wampum, the One Dish One Spoon Belt and the Ojibway Friendship Belt where they feel Canada’s Specific Claims Policy along with the Indian Act are in breach of these peace agreements as well as the Canadian Constitution.

 

” Our intention was not to cause any disruption between the residents of Coldwater or the members of the Four Communities in the Coldwater Land Surrender. Our intention is to raise awareness that an absolute surrender of our land title is an absolute surrender of our Sovereignty. As of yet our lands have not been surrendered. ” says Memeskwaniniisi one of the camp organizer’s

 

” In a show of good faith we will leave only if the illegal occupiers of our traditional territories also leave until a resolution to this fraudulent surrender as been resolved using an approach that is reflective of our peace agreements represented in the expressed belts and Canada’s Constitution.” We only want to establish a partnership with our neighbours and enhance this museum with factual historic facts of this area and mobilize our people who only want to uphold our end of the peace agreements. We Will not Surrender or leave.” says Kai Kai Kons another of the camps organizers.

 

A meeting today between OPP Aboriginal Response Team, Museums’ Board of directors and the Camp was held to establish a partnership with the Museum. a Second meeting to come to a resolution to this issue will be held tomorrow at 1pm.

 

OPP are closely monitoring this situation. The Camp is calling out to all supporters to join the encampment  and help uphold the peace agreements.

An Oshkimaadziig Camp has been established on the Coldwater Heritage Museum, in Coldwater On. Oshkimaadziig in the Anishinabek Language refers to the New People of the Seventh Fire Prophecy who will pick up the things left behind to light the 8th and final Fire. 

We are here to educate the world about our Intertribal Agreements as well as the Nation to Nation Agreements we have with the Crown
which the Crown has failed to recognize since the inception of these agreements. 

Without Indigenous Consultation Canada continues to impose its laws and policies such as the Indian Act and Specific Land Claims Policy, just to name a few which circumvents the 1764 Niagara Treaty, 24 Nations Belt, 
Two Row Wampum, the One Dish One Spoon and Ojibway Friendship Belt which are all based on Peace, Coexistence and Non-interference. 

These so called solutions Canada has for Indigenous People across Canada only serves to single handily and undermine our Sovereignty our Culture and very fabric of our being. 

We are calling out to all the Nations represented in these Belts and other Indigneous and Non-Native Allies to gather here to unite and mobilize to be heard as one voice.

This camp is not intended to cause friction with our friends of Coldwater. It is intended to strengthen the relationships that is reflective of these belts.

This camp is not representative of Indian Act Governed Communities but a collective voice of brothers and sisters that seek to work together.

The Camp is located on 1474 Woodrow Rd., Coldwater, ON , right side of Highway 12.

We are accepting donations of Firewood, Non-perishable Food, Traditional Medicines, Water, Porta-Johns and anything that can help.
