We, the Youth of the Haudenosaunee, on this 20th anniversary of Oka, declare our right to voice our concerns within our Nations, to be heard as equal counterparts, and to make an impact. We owe it to ourselves to continue on the path the Creator has laid before us. Just as they did at Oka, our ancestors sacrificed their lives for us - they survived the government’s assimilation tactics. They believed that we, the next seven generations, are worth fighting for. This blood runs through our veins too. The issues that surfaced 20 years ago across our Haudenosaunee territories are the same we face now and are not easily solved, but our strength will persevere. History shows us this.

KAHNAWAKE, QC- Mohawk Peacekeepers have confirmed that the human remains found by a construction worker Monday in a wooded area near the Mercier Bridge are those of Tiffany Morrison.
The remains and a skull were found off the service road of Highway 138.
Morrison, a 25-year-old Mohawk woman, disappeared in June 2006 after she left a bar in LaSalle and shared a taxi back to Kahnawake with a man from the community. The remains were sent to a crime lab for verification.
More to come.

OTTAWA — A new report has added 62 more names to a growing list of missing or murdered aboriginal women and girls.
The report by the Native Women’s Association of Canada pegs the total at at least 582.
The report says the data is limited by the way information is collected — there’s no national missing-persons database and police records don’t always indicate aboriginal status. Read More »
