EDITORIAL By: Gary Smith

O'siyo Brothers and Sister! This needs to be said again. The borders between the US and Mexico and between the US and Canada are imaginary lines placed there by the European invaders. Odawa, Cree, Pasqua First Nation, Mohawk (in both the US and Canada), Blackfoot/Blackfeet (in both the US and Canada) and relations in the hundreds of other Canadian First Nations are our brothers and sisters. This is also true of the Hui Chol, Aztec/Mexica, Tarahumara, Tohono O'odham (in both the US and Mexico), Cocopah (in both the US and Mexico) and many others. The hot spots for our brothers and sisters right now lie to the North and South. In both dark places the provincial police are making phony charges against the Peoples who want only to live on their lands that are guaranteed them by treaty. The trumped up charges are then used as the basis for raids that are terrifying and murderous.... yes, murderous. The real intent is to keep Indian Peoples throughout Turtle Island intimidated and pushed back into corners where they are neither seen nor heard. ... and for those who may be reading this who are neither native nor sympathetic, your glibness is being rewarded by a government that is short changing veterans who were injured fighting its wars; and is even now developing a super highway from the Southwest coast of Mexico to the very heartland of the US. It will bypass all customs stops until trucks roll into the Port of Entry in Kansas City, taking yet more jobs and services "off shore". It is no accident the highway (four football fields wide) will sidestep the teamsters, longshoremen and other organizations that are working to keep jobs in the countries where services and goods are rendered. The final leg will then end in Canada, north of Duluth. Before you toss this off as just another stupid conspiracy theory, take a moment to look up NASCO, the North America SuperCorridor Coalition Inc. Maybe, just maybe it would be in everyone's interest to care about the crimes against Native Peoples in Mexico and Canada, regardless of where you live. If you sit wherever you are reading this and say and do nothing, do not cry out when the goons knock on your door. There may be none to listen or care.

"We are told that your religion was given to you by your forefathers, and has been handed down from father to son. We also have a religion which was given to our forefathers, and has been handed down to us, their children. We worship in that way. It teaches us to be thankful for all favors we receive; to love each other and be united. We never quarrel about religion, because it is a matter which concerns each man and the Great Spirit. Brother, we do not wish to destroy your religion or take it from you; we only want to enjoy our own." --- Chief Red Jacket (Sagoyewatha), Seneca
