CTV: The Mohawk Council is sending out eviction notices to non-natives who live in the South Shore community.
Band councilors say their laws interdict non-natives from living on their land, and so they are giving several dozen people ten days to leave the reserve.
"It's nothing new to anybody," said Grand Chief Mike Delisle.
"[Anyone] who's saying, 'well, I never heard of this, it's racist' or what have you, It's been a custom in Kahnawake since time immemorial."

I don’t agree with ANYTHING Jackson says but the president said he IS the Leader of the blacks in this country. Get it?
Next the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation with their usual prissy womenfolk, sharking up a touch of hysteria. The great, grave face of Peter, intoning about the start of "what Canada means, now being threatened". Then there is Taliban Jack and his followers, crying about the "end of Canada, is this succeeds".
Just had to have a bit of a laugh here.
Actually , no I don't and I don't have to excuse their ignorance.
Whites took over they were put on a Rez.
The whites conquered , the same as the Mohawks conquered . The white , in this case English , unfortunately , had the concept of deeds of land and treaties .
In the 1600's , when the Mohawks moved up the Ottawa Valley and attacked the Algonquins , who in turn attacked the Nipissings , who in turn moved west and drove the Ojibwa into what is now Minnesota , you think any of those tribes gave any thought to a land treaty or any kind of allowance for those they defeated? Of course not. If anything the English need for honour , deeds and treaties caused more problems than any conquering Indian tribe ever did . Fortunately the Mohawks returned to the St Lawrence , the Algonquin to the Ottawa Valley and , the Nipissings to North East Ontario , the Ojibwa to Sault St. Marie.
Then the white man screwed it all up.
One of the big problems of what I call “lost identity” is that a lot of people really do have Indian blood but can’t prove it because of early relatives hid the fact because in those days being part Indian was a put down and you were not accepted in the majority of White society. Just as in those days if you had any negro blood you were considered a black person, no matter how small the blood quantum.
*he* who? Jackson or obama? You are not being clear about who you're speaking about.
Why are you so bent on stirring the racism pot?
A sarcasm tag indicates the poster is aware that a statement such as: “Indians, blacks or anyone other than white are incapable of being racist.” is absurd and ridiculous.
Couldn’t DNA testing show something?
There are no Native Americans. Just an arguement over who got here first.
And to set the record straight - the “Native Americans” were not the first.
The Onondagas in CNY won’t let anyone who isn’t a certain percentage of native live on the reservation and any native who marries outside of the tribe isn’t allowed to live on the res.
It’s their land. They can set policies.
The only thing that irks me is this *sovereign nation* thing. They are not sovereign. They depend on the outside world for an awful lot of services and are not really independent. They may govern themselves in most ways, but are not really independent or self-sufficient.
So was scalping, in fact lots of things were customary.

Setting the Record Straight About Native Peoples: American Indian CannibalsCannibalism should not be considered part of American Indian culture on this account any more than it would be considered part of European or American culture--it was culturally unacceptable behavior. The Sioux considered cannibalism a sin, the Cree considered it a mental illness, the Algonquin and Ojibwe considered it a sign of possession by an evil spirit. In almost all cases, American Indian cannibals--just like European or American cannibals--were put to death as soon as they were discovered....It's been suggested that the pre-Iroquois Mohawk and the ancient Anasazi may have practiced group cannibalism. This is possible, though it has not been proven. The Mohawk were called "man-eaters" by their Algonquian enemies on account of this belief about their lurid past. Some Mohawks think it was probably true, others that you shouldn't give too much credence to slurs people's enemies cast at their ancestors.
Guess they're lucky they're being given a chance to leave.
Yeah, I get it. You’re agreeing with Obama. I’m not. Get it?
They never owned the land to start.
And yes it is racist.
Like I always say, the land belongs to whoever fights for it.
I didn’t realize it was against the law for them to live outside the reservation.
They’re throwing away their diversity a source of strength.
You're being sarcastic. Right?
Right?

In all things regarding race, he is KING and Jesse is his shill. Anything other than what these two want to consider as racist can only be granted by them, no one else. Get it?
