Mitchell wants to make it look like he settled our valid complaint and come out looking like the hero. Some of the human rights complaints will be settled, he said. He wants to make the economically dying cities of Cornwall Ontario and Massena New York happy.
Any deal Mitchell makes will only apply to those 350 people who voted for him, who obviously support the colonial band council system and their goal to undermine us. They are trying to set a precedent for outsiders to patrol other Indigenous communities.
This is a nation-to-nation issue. Canada and US both know that this is a Rotino'shonni:onwe movement based on our sovereignty, which is supported by international law. A majority have to give our fully informed consent which we will never.
Watch the following short video linked to this article. You can see how happy Mohawks feel about being free of the abuse and brutality of the border guards!

There is talk of putting a temporary Canadian customs on the Cornwall Ontario side at the foot of the Bridge. This hasn't been brought to the Mohawks. At least the Canadian government recognizes they can't put guns on the island in the middle of Kawenoke.
Not mentioned is that this too is Mohawk territory which is under dispute. The Mohawks have given the message that we are not going to be intimidated. This is being acknowledged by the non-native community. They now know that we cannot be pushed around anymore.
We must give credit to Dooley Thompson, the former chief, and his supporters, for standing up for the people forcefully and eloquently. Hopefully Mike Mitchell learns from his predecessor that the non-natives can't walk over us. We are in the right. We don't want guns like the others. We have to take a stand and stay with it. The cutting off of traffic to Kawenoke has allowed us to feel relieved from the years of intimidation. It's a vacation from the abuse that has been going on for a long time.
The Mohawks message to the world is that tyranny has to be resisted. With the move towards global totalitarianism by the few elite thugs and their military goons, the Mohawks, our brothers, sisters, friends, allies and supporters are showing everybody how to defend themselves without using violence. Only the truth!
