Chi migwetch Michikanibikok Inik !!!! The Algonquin situation exposes the grave legal inconsistencies found throughout all Canadian domestic policy.

When an administering state is found to be breaching its own Constitution, and interferes in unceded jurisdiction the matters must be recognized as being of international character.

All Canadians have been denied free, prior and informed consent regarding the matters of Aboriginal peoples, the Indigenous Peoples of Canada, and how the protection of such jurisdiction is of positive benefit to all Canadian citizens.

Demand the immediate implementation of the Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples as the only appropriate vehicle for justice and legitimacy.

Aboriginal rights belong equally to all persons of Aboriginal descent based on contextual and specific laws and traditions held by the traditional nations that have historically made up the Canadian federation prior to illegal interference by an administering state.

The Algonquin Nation is unceded. We have never relinquished territory or jurisdiction. As an Indigenous Peoples,existing as a nation prior to the sovereignty assertions of a foregein Crown, and meeting the legal requirements established as legitimate and common amongst those nations united together in peace,to reaffirm faith in fundamental human rights, in the dignity and worth of the human person, in the equal rights of men and women and of nations large and small, and, to establish conditions under which justice and respect for the obligations arising from treaties and other sources of international law can be maintained, and to promote social progress and better standards of life in larger freedom;

Our rights and responsibilities, as a nation, as a peoples, are still held according to international and Constitutional law to be fully in place.

And whereas the Purposes of the United Nations are:

1.To maintain international peace and security, and to that end: to take effective collective measures for the prevention and removal of threats to the peace, and for the suppression of acts of aggression or other breaches of the peace, and to bring about by peaceful means, and in conformity with the principles of justice and international law, adjustment or settlement of international disputes or situations which might lead to a breach of the peace;

2.To develop friendly relations among nations based on respect for the principle of equal rights and self-determination of peoples, and to take other appropriate measures to strengthen universal peace;

3.To achieve international co-operation in solving international problems of an economic, social, cultural, or humanitarian character, and in promoting and encouraging respect for human rights and for fundamental freedoms for all without distinction as to race, sex, language, or religion; and

4.To be a centre for harmonizing the actions of nations in the attainment of these common ends.

We request that the Kichesipirini assertions and requests, on behalf of Indigenous Peoples, be recognized and affirmed.

The Kichesipirini, traditional political centre of the traditional Algonquin Nation, Kichi Sibi Anishnabe, Canada, do hereby assert our right to demand international intervention, in accordance to international law, and do hereby request the immediate implementation in our territory of the Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples.

unless and until sovereignty and jurisdiction is won the process of colonization and installation of collaborationist regimes "friendly" to Canada and subservient to corporate colonialism, will continue inexorably.

It’s all a matter of domination/colonization, which is clearly related to power. To actually see Canada/ Canadians actually relinquish any of that power, nestled in advantages, will be hard to come by. Since there is only about 40 yrs left in the resources, it seems imperative that natives get their fair share. Native people are rising, but note that is when there is more opposition; clearly the example of the blacks in the south makes this very clear. The constitution 15(2) recognizes the disadvantages that are in Canadian society; clearly the highest law of the land needs to be recognized. Self government is indirectly an inherent right, based on the freedom we are all born with; no man can give up his sovereignty. Since we have so much going for us, why are we so unable to develop into a stronger nation? Hopefully everything is being pursued and there will be brighter days.

"What must be understood is that Canada in itself is not in conflict with the Aboriginal peoples, as Kichesipirini documented record proves that the original Canada was Aboriginal, or Indigenous, and was wrongfully displaced through violence and duress by the asserting British Crown."

Very well put. The main problem is that we often forget to look for the "man behind the curtain" pulling the levers. The Canadian Government is nothing more than the British Crowns' Administration. They are charged with the responsibility to represent the crown in its' relationship with the Indigenous people, especially where there exists treaties or agreements.

Unfortunately, this British administration all too often takes liberties designed to minimize or eliminate their legal obligations acquired through treaty in order to justify the "presumed" sovereignty and jurisdiction of the crown, over Indigenous lands, territories and people.

Our saving grace (excuse the pun) is that many of the original Nations of this land have not ceded nor given up Title to our original territories. This prevents the british claim of sovereignty from ever being complete while we maintain our Title. This results in Canadian sovereignty being heavily burdened by Indigenous Title, a concept you do not hear very much about anymore.

It is also why canada does not "return" lands as part of negotiations. NO land, only money. The more Land they legally acquire, the more complete their sovereignty becomes, and ours is diminished...eventually to disappear......forever.

In fact, the Land does not belong to us, it belongs to future generations. We are only here to use it and care for it for when they arrive.

If we enter an agreement where we gave up all of our [their] land, how would we explain it to our children and grandchildren?? That we did it to protect them?? We, in fact, fail them...

"The constitution 15(2) recognizes the disadvantages that are in Canadian society; clearly the highest law of the land needs to be recognized."

I agree that the highest LAW of the land needs to be recognized..but its not the canadian constitution. The highest Law of the land is the Indigenous Constitutions.......then comes the treaties and agreements that govern the relationship between the Indigenous Nations and the British. WE ALLOWED them to be here legitimately.
As a friend of mine puts it "Indigenous pre-emptive Right".

The canadian constitution only applies to the Crowns' administration, known as the federal and provincial governments. That constitution does not apply to us, as Indigenous Nations unless you enter into an agreement accepting that it does. Then you are placed in section 35, the constitutional Indian reserve.

It is what is legally the first order. Indigenous rights are a body of very strong law which can only be derogated under certain circumstances. Because we hold Original Jurisdiction everything is actually in our favour. Unfortunately the money changers have the purse and are dictating the policies, which in turn have attempted to move us into those conditions that would unwittingly have robbed us of our title and jurisdiction.

The assertions that Kichesipirini makes as Indigenous Peoples are not solely for Kichesipirini but actually for a sovereign Canada which can never exist without dealing with the Kichesipirini situation....which is then related to all other Indigenous Peoples of Canada, or even under British Crown assertions of sovereignty.

We are no threat to private property.

We are no threat to equal rights....or any other aspect of contemporary society......we are a threat to the corruptions that have been robbing us all and using our legal system as a very expensive hampster's wheel.....while our "government" fails to ensure that policy is actually a reflection of law.

What we are calling for is an independent, third party examination of the issues....and have taken steps to ensure such examination will happen....and the sooner the better as Canada throws more innocent tax payer's money out the window to maintain a lie whose days are numbered.

I disagree that the Canadian constitution only applies to the administration....and it captures law beyond our relationship with the British....because, although it is not specific, it includes those existing Aboriginal rights....those never compromised or surrendered....like the Kichesipirini.

And what does the Kichesipirini historical record teach us? It proves that the original First Nations, as properly qualified, founded Canada.

And Kichesipirini says that the Indigenous Peoples of Canada have not yet legally surrendered their lands and titles.....

And that is good for a Canadian Nation.
