In other words, it comprises the political and cultural relations between two states. But because it is not being honored, there lay such an ache, hidden from the rest of the world that don’t seem to go away. This hurt is carried on through generation to generation causing our children to continue to suffer the most.
 
It is said at the negotiation table of how we are moving forward, but how could that be when once again we are being bullied and terrorized off our own land? Yeah when there is an Injunction served against our people, it threatens the Peace. When there is a threat of the Army coming in on us, it is declaring war upon us. We through the Great Law of Peace have held onto a hope that someday, somewhere that the respectful relationship that was intended through the Two Row Wampum and the Silver Covenant Chain would be honored with the change in time in the name of "Freedom of Rights."  
 
People question what HDI means? What I have observed is my view.

Well for starters it stands for Haudenosaunee Development Institution. It is designed like any other "municipality" only we are not a municipality or a town; we are the natural born title holders to the land. We as Haudenosaunee have existed from the beginning of creation with our own laws and customs given to us by the "Holder of the Heavens". All said, we have been robbed and molested which goes against everything you and I stand for.

It demonstrates our holding as having our own government into the twentieth century to accommodate those around us. It is no different than any other state charging an application fee created for the purpose of utilizing ones land base such as development.

The laws and government of the Confederacy became a barrier to the application of foreign laws to the people and institutions of the Confederacy. In other words, Justice and Law come from the Natural Order of our Being. Everything about us is rolled in what makes us free spirited people co-existing with the balance of Mother Earth, which supercedes over other Nations. It is said, "The Greatest Achievement of our Forefathers bound our two societies to a lasting peace with respect to the land. Its resources were to be used for survival purposes only. Our environment was rich in all the resources to maintain and we were well positioned politically and economically as well as geographically to engage with colonists and colonial governments in trade and politics."
*Laws reflect values and beliefs!
 
In 1950, the Supreme Court stated that Indians and their lands were "a political trust of the highest order," and "the Honor of the Crown." Therefore, one must ensure that Provincial Law does not have the effect of abrogating, or infringing upon, an existing Aboriginal or Treaty Right. The Supreme Court has said that Provincial Laws cannot do this: Sparrows V. the Queen, also Claxton V. Saanichton Marina Ltd. (B.C.C.A.);

• "Indian lands and political institutions were to be protected and trust responsibilities assumed by the Crown by way of life."

 

The last correspondence of record with the Government of Canada as relates to the Hamilton/Port Dover Plank Road lands was in a Six Nations meeting as held at Onondaga Council House on October 31st, 1844 in which the Chiefs explicitly stated;

• "the Plank Road Lots from the River at the Caledonia Bridge to the Walpole Townline be kept and that the lands comprising the pieces described be leased and not sold."
  

• "Within this relationship, the terms of the Treaties continue to bind both our government and the Crown. Our people and our treaty rights can be regulated by competent federal enactment. Where such enactment’s conflict with protected right, they must be "justified" by government as part of the balance structure between "federal power" and "federal responsibility" with respect to our people and our rights."

To go against them is an abuse of process and The Honor of the Crown is at Stake and this is an International Matter that concerns all of us. This requires the Protectorate Obligations of Her Majesty to step in, for this commitment She is still bound by.
 
With that I would like to ask for your support in any way that you are able to. As Brantford has served all of Six Nations with an Injunction Order to stop protesting against the criminal activities in the name of "Developers" trying to illegally develope on land that we rightfully hold title to through "Inherent Rights". Not only do they seek to enforce this Injunction Order but push for a lawsuit against us.  
 
We are to appear in court this coming Friday May 31st at 10 am on 70 Wellington Street in the city of Brantford. I am asking that you come and stand with us in this time of need.

Nya weh
Always,
