Bulletin! ALGONQUIN ?CHIEF? DOREEN? NEGOTIATING ?HAUDENOSAUNEE? TERRITORY
WITH MNN. Jan. 25, 2008. At 11.15 am. on Friday January 25, 2008, a Kahtihon?tia:kwenio [Woman Title Holder of the Kanion?ke:haka], called ?Algonquin? negotiator, Doreen Davis, at 613-484-8868. She?s is purportedly representing Shaabot Algonquins. When Doreen heard her voice, she said, ?I am in the middle of land claims settlement talks? with up. The land in question is Haudenosaunee territory, south of
the As Mohawks we cannot speak for the Algonquins. Her action is in obvious violation of international law because it involves the disposition of her people?s sovereignty. It is being conducted in secret, without their informed knowledge or consent, contrary to standards that were established in international law. Moreover, as members of the Haudenosaunee people, we cannot understand why concerning our land. Doreen Davis was left the following message on her cell phone: ?We Kahtihon?tia;kwenio insist on the right of Haudenosaunee and Algonquins to discuss our land issues under international law. This means that there has to be a fully informed discussion of the people with all the information. There can be no ?secret meetings? with you,
?What you, Doreen Davis,
doing is totally illegitimate. You cannot have ?closed? meetings determining the future of our nations. Everyone has a right to know that this is not Canadian or Algonquin land. It is Haudenosaunee territory. Everybody is being misled. The rights of Indigenous people are being jeopardized. The secrecy of these negotiations is perpetuating
citizens. Most Canadians don?t know that the colony of claims. ?Doreen Davis, you are not in a position to negotiate something that is
non-negotiable. the Algonquins have to deal with us. If everything was out in the open, Canadians would probably support us as we are concerned for the environment and the coming generations. Their colonial government has ignored this since it first came here to
wreak havoc. ? Doreen Davis is putting out reports that ?everything is going just peachy?. She still hasn?t said when Frontenac Ventures is planning to start drilling for uranium on Haudenosaunee territory. These negotiations and drilling cannot go on. They are illegal! They are all dangerous! We are waiting to hear from our Algonquin allies through formal channels as to why our long time alliance is being ignored. Meanwhile, we are being contacted by many Algonquin individuals who are alarmed by what is happening. This suggests that whoever claims to represent the Algonquin people does not really speak for them. In the meantime, Robert Lovelace, who is reportedly negotiating on behalf of the Ardoch Algonquins, recently tried to approach the mining
site at there is now heavy security. He said he was refused entry by security. He was later told by Frontenac Ventures? lawyer the reason is that, ?We were accompanied by four warriors who were possibly Mohawks and that we demanded to be let in?. We seem to be faced with a whole kettle full of rotten and soon-to-be radioactive fish. What?s being created here? It might have to do with defense, nuclear bomb making, research and testing of equipment and scenarios. Such companies as Allen Vanguard, Mining Resources Engineering Limited MREL and their customers like the Departments of National
Defense of seem to have a lot at stake. One thing is certain, none of the people concerned are being kept informed, not the Haudenosaunee, not the Algonquins and not regular Canadian citizens. MNN Mohawk Nation
