 O'siyo Brothers and Sisters!
 
   In a recent letter to the editor of the Albuquerque (New Mexico) Journal
 a writer posed an interesting introspective.
 
 To wit: The coyote is thought of as a 'trickster' by many Native Americans,
 including the Navajo (Dine').
 And that: It has become something of a statement among ranchers to kill the
 coyote, whom they blame for all manner of evil, and hang the carcasses from
 fences.
 In so doing: One of the major predators of rodents, now identified as the
 carrier of the Hantavirus that has killed many Dine' in the prime of their
 lives, is being purged.
 Thus: Unchecked population growth among the carrier of a dreaded disease
 has occurred.
 
   The writer concluded that perhaps the coyote is getting the last laugh.
 
   I think the writer makes a better point.  We must all respect the balance
 of nature and quit interfering with Mother Earth.  We are not wise enough to
 select which creatures must live and which deserve to die.  By presuming to
 make such decisions beyond our knowledge mankind is breaking the circle and
 inviting even greater harm than the Hantavirus.

 --------- "RE: Stoney Point" ---------
 
 From: E.DUNBAR   Earl Dunbar <Invisible Band>
 Subj: NEWSITEM: STONEY POINT
 
   GE Electronic Mail
 
 The Stoney Point First Nation (Aushoodaana Anjibaajig), also known as the
 Chippewa First Nation of Stoney Point #43, have been occupying the lands
 of their ancestral home since May 6, 1993.  These lands, today commonly
 known as "Camp Ipperwash", were taken from the Stoney Point people in 1942,
 under the War Measures Act, as necessary for the war effort.  During World
 War II, the camp there constructed (just north of Sarnia, Ontario), was
 used as an advanced infantry training centre.  The act of Privy Council
 which expropriated the lands was based on a Department of National Defense
 (DND) "lease" which stated that the lands would be returned once they were
 no longer needed by the Stoney Point First Nation (band).
 
 That the lands have \not\ been returned, some 48 years after the end of WW
 II, is the result of bad faith dealing of both the DND and the Department
 of Indian Affairs and Northern Development (DIAND) with the Stoney Point
 People.  These dealings have included revision of history and outright
 secret deals between DND and DIAND bureaucrats and the Kettle Point First
 Nation #44, which had assumed administrative responsibility for the Stoney
 Point First Nation, even though such a role was both unknown to and
 unapproved by the people of Stoney Point.
 
 The Stoney Point and Kettle Point First Nations were historically
 geographically quite close; their lands were separated by a 1-1/2 mile
 strip of land.  The original treaties which established the separate
 (legal) identity of the two groups were the Provisional Agreement No.
 27-1/2 of 1825, and Treaty 29 of 1827.  Also identified in these two
 documents were the Chippewas of Moore Township, and the Chippewas of
 Sarnia.  In 1836 the Anishnaubae (Ojibwa, or Chippewa) of Moore township
 were "moved" to a reserve (#46) which was purchased by the federal
 government, located on Walpole Island, in the St. Clair River. The
 Chippewas of Sarnia retained administrative joint jurisdiction over the
 Stoney Point and Kettle Point bands (first nations).  Historically, each
 of the three bands in this arrangement (Sarnia, Stoney Point and Kettle
 Point), retained their own chiefs to administer local affairs.  These
 chiefs were based on hereditary lineage.
 
 Because of the larger population of the Chippewas of Sarnia, the joint
 council which the three groups maintained was dominated by the Chippewas
 of Sarnia. Not surprisingly, the DIAND began to treat the group as one
 community.  Since the Sarnia band naturally drew more funds from DIAND,
 owing to their size, inequities in use of the funds was inevitable.
 
 By 1891 this situation was grievous enough to cause the Stoney Point and
 Kettle Point First Nations, both together and separately, to petition the
 DIAND for separation from Sarnia.  This process continued for 30 years. 
 The DIAND, however, treated the petitioners as one group, becoming
 confused and forgetting that their were two separate First Nations (bands)
 which were petitioning for separation.  Indeed, by 1919 the DIAND had
 begun to use the expressions "the Kettle and Stoney Point Reserve" and
 "the Kettle and Stoney Point Indians", implying one geographical location
 for all the people concerned.  This despite a known Federal Order-in-
 Council, P.C. Order 374 of February 20, 1900, showing individual property
 ownership at Stoney Point Reserve #43.
 
 Once the separation from the Sarnia First Nation was secured, a joint
 administrative structure for the Stoney Point and Kettle Point First
 Nations was instituted, with a Grand Chief and one Chief-Councillor from
 each reserve, elected separately.  As well, the DIAND set up a common
 financial structure for the two bands, which thus required a majority vote
 of the two bands on questions of surrender, even if the lands in question
 were solely within a single reserve.  Naturally, this led to occasions of
 unfairness, and hence anger and bitterness between the two bands.  The
 legal circumstances leading to such a situation were artifacts of the
 Indian Act, not a decision of the First Nations peoples.
 
 Thus it was that in 1942, when the DND wanted Stoney Point lands for a
 military training camp, that the government dealt with the joint bands
 (First Nations) council, rather than solely with the locatees (land
 owners) of the Stoney Point First Nation.  In fact, both the original
 surrender, and subsequent payments and agreements, were at various times
 conducted secretly between the government and the council and/or chief of
 the Kettle Point First Nation, without the counsel and approval of the
 Stoney Point people.
 
 The original removal of the residents of Stoney Point was swift and
 without any compassion.  In fact, some returning Stoney Point men, who had
 served with honour in World War II, returned to find their homes gone,
 never having been notified of the the events, much less of their
 opportunity to vote on the surrender.  Some of the dislocated residents
 moved onto the Kettle Point Reserve, even though land and lodgings were at
 a premium, and the land was not of sufficiently high agricultural value to
 support an increased population. Others dispersed to land outside the
 reserves.
 
 After careful research to compile the history of their people, and
 assessment of the facts, the Stoney Point First Nation decided that the
 military was trespassing on their land, and since no reasonable response
 was coming from the DND or the DIAND, they decided to enter the land,
 occupy it, and serve a trespassing notice to the military.  This process
 began on May 6, 1993.
 
 As the Fall and Winter approach, there has been no movement on the part of
 the Government of Canada.  The Stoney Point people face a winter with
 makeshift housing, and without the funds necessary to continue their fight.
  They are in need of funds to provide a trailer type structure to function
 as a band office, moving of houses onto the property, provision of
 electricity, phones and a fax, etc.  To this end, a number of the people
 will be walking from Stoney Point to Ottawa, commencing September 12, 1993.
 This 700 km walk will end on September 30, 1993, at approximately 3:30 pm,
 on Parliament Hill, where a meeting with First Nations elders will
 commence a rally.
 
 The Stoney Point people are asking for pledges for the walkers, outright
 donations, and acts of solidarity.  For those who wish to contribute, a
 cheque or money order can be sent to:

 PRESS RELEASE
 
 AUGUST 31, 1993
 
 The Wintu Tribe of Northern California will begin a HUNGER STRIKE and
 Ceremonial Fast (no food or water) for the restoration of their Federal
 Recognized status, on Friday, September 3, 1993, 11:00 a.m. at Dekkas Rock in
 the Shasta/Trinity National Forest. The Tribal and Elder's Council's
 unanimously supported this action to continue until such time the Bureau of
 Indian Affairs restores the tribe's federal recognition status and/or
 eligibility for services.
 
 The 3000 member Wintu tribe has written letters to Secretary of the Interior
 Babbit; Assistant Secretary Indian Affairs, Ada Deer; Senator Daniel Inouye
 Senate Committee on Indian Affairs; Congressman Bill Richardson, House Select
 Committee on Indian Affairs; the two California Senators, Northern California
 Congressional delegates, including Robert Matsui, Vic Fazio, and Wally Herger.
 
 Recently, the BIA severed its relationship with the Wintu. This action denies
 health, medical, social, and educational services to which the Wintu people
 maintains eligibility. The decision has it most adverse affects on the elderly
 and the children who, until August 1, 1993, were eligible for services and
 assistance.
 
 A delegation of the Wintu will be meeting with Ms. Ada Deer, Assistant
 Secretary of the Interior Indian Affairs, on September 7, 1993 in Washington,

 HAWAII TRIBUNAL HEARS OF CRIMES AGAINST NATIVE PEOPLE
  By Key Martin
 
 The People's International Tribunal Hawaii 1993 opened Aug. 12 with a rally
 
 for Hawaiian sovereignty. The rally, attended by several hundred activists,
 was called to protest the U.S. annexation of Hawaii in 1898--95 years ago.
 Eight days of hearings are scheduled throughout the islands to document
 through testimony the history of dispossession and disempowerment of the
 indigenous Hawaiian peoples by the U.S. A second rally is scheduled for Aug.
 21 to wind up the series of tribunal hearings.
 
 At a July 31 rally and press conference, Kekuni Blaisdell, a professor at
 the University of Hawaii medical school and convener of the tribunal, issued
 a challenge to President Clinton to attend or send a representative to
 answer the charges of crimes against indigenous Hawaiians.
 
 As the hearings opened, an empty chair sat on the stage next to the witness
 stand bearing the sign: "United States Representative."
 
 A CENTURY OF OPPRESSION
 
 The Tribunal marks the 100th anniversary of the overthrow of the sovereign
 Hawaiian government by a coup of plantation owners assisted by U.S. Marines
 on Jan. 17, 1893.
 
 In the first century of contact with the West--from 1778 to 1878--the
 indigenous population of the Hawaiian islands was reduced from almost a
 million to less than 50,000. They died from disease, repression and the
 dispossession of their economy and means of subsistence through the spread
 of sugar cane plantations.
 
 The islands became a 19th and 20th century stepping stone for U.S. military
 and economic interests seeking to penetrate Asia as part of the U.S. policy
 of "Manifest Destiny" and "dollar diplomacy." The native population's
 resources were taken over to supply the ports serving ships crossing the
 Pacific.
 
 Last January, a march of 15,000 Hawaiians and their supporters--the largest
 protest in the history of Hawaii--commemorated the 100 years of oppression.
 In July, when Clinton stopped over in Hawaii to make a speech en route to
 the G-7 summit in Japan, hundreds of Hawaiians interrupted his remarks with
 chants of "Justice for Hawaiians."
 
 Tribunal '93 is making a series of indictments against the U.S. government.
 They range from the seizure of Hawaiian resources through gunboat diplomacy
 as early as 1826 to the annexation and later statehood without any regard
 for the views or needs of Hawaiian people.
 
 Hawaiian sovereignty activists point to the Universal Declaration of Human
 Rights and the Draft Declaration on Rights of Indigenous Peoples as
 confirmation of their rights. They say statehood was a cynical measure by
 the U.S. to remove Hawaii from the UN list of "non-self-governing
 territories," i.e. colonies.
 
 Tribunal '93 also highlights the fact that the land supposedly held "in
 trust" for the Hawaiian people under the current legal system is in fact
 expropriated and used to benefit others, particularly the U.S.
 
 PENTAGON OPERATIONS
 
 The U.S. military occupies 30 per cent of Oahu, the most populous island.
 It also has installations elsewhere including the whole island of Kaho'olawe
 which is completely closed to Hawaiians.
 
 Kaho'olawe has for decades been used for target practice by U.S. Navy
 ships.
 
 Many of Hawaii's lands are leased to growers or tourism operators for next
 to nothing; most Hawaiians are landless. Less than 10 per cent of the land
 is owned by small owners.
 
 There has been an increase in the number of homeless families living in
 tents on Hawaiian beaches. Land and rents have skyrocketed to the point
 where the average resident pays 52 per cent of income on rent or mortgages,
 forcing families to double and triple up in housing.
 
 Movements to take back the land have begun on a number of islands by
 Hawaiians frustrated that there are 20,000 names on the list for "trust"
 lands. Yet few ever receive their land.
 
 Hawaiian indigenous people do not even have the limited sovereign rights of
 most mainland Native peoples.
 
 TRIBUNAL PARTICIPANTS
 
 The Tribunal was established as a people's court in the tradition of the
 Bertrand Russell-sponsored International War Crimes Tribunal during the
 Vietnam War and more recent tribunals in Puerto Rico and in the U.S.
 investigating crimes against Iraq.
 
 Judges include Prof. Richard Falk of Princeton; Prof. Hyun Kyung Chung of
 Korea; Ward Churchill, co-director of the American Indian Movement in
 Colorado; Prof. of Constitutional Law Milner Ball of the University of
 Georgia; Prof. Lennox Hinds of Rutgers University and a past director of the
 National Conference of Black Lawyers; Palestinian attorney Asma Khader; New
 Zealand Maori Legal Service Director Te Moana Nui Jackson; and Japanese
 peace activist Makoto Oda.
 
 Tribunal '93 promises to be an important event in defining the struggle for
 the rights of indigenous Hawaiian people. It should be followed carefully by
 progressive people despite the complete boycott of coverage of these events
 by the mainland media.
 
 Information on Tribunal '93 can be obtained from the International Action
 Center, 39 W. 14th Street, 2nd Floor, New York, N.Y. 10011, (212) 633-6646.
 The IAC has endorsed the events.
 
 The writer recently returned from interviewing Hawaiian activists for the
 International Action Center.
 
 Workers World newspaper was one of the few voices of protest in the
 mainland against Hawaiian statehood in 1959, its first year of publication.
 Workers World said that statehood was imposed in complete disregard of the
 rights of self-determination of the indigenous Hawaiian people.

 I met a couple of Heyoka when I was at a sundance on Rosebud
 2-3 years ago...one I had gotten to know a little bit during a summer
 program at Sinte Gleska College also. He didn't seem to act the
 'backwards' role much but was particularly idiosyncratic and at
 the same time very committed to the Lakota tradition.
 
 The other two that come to mind I only had contact with at the
 sundance.  They often danced backwards, were covered
 from head to foot in black cloth, offered water to the dancers
 in the circle (one walked around with a gallon jug of gatorade
 offering the dancers drinks). They can tell you its dark in
 the day, its dry when its pouring rain and the thing is you can
 start to find yourself believing them even though your senses
 obviously tell you otherwise! A woman tending the fire told
 one as he was getting ready for a sweat "its a nice day, isn't
 it?" He said "Its a dark day, the moon is going to come out."
 In a couple of more minutes she looked *really* perplexed :-).
 
 They also bring the thunder and hail during the sundance.
 Once an older woman near me under the arbor called me over
 and pointed to one and said "he really shouldn't do that..."
 as he was dancing in the pouring rain while everyone else
 hid in the rest area...
 
 It is clear when you are around them that they are very powerful
 people. If "sacred clown" can be understood in a deep sense
 perhaps it approaches a translation...but the usual notion of
 a "clown" is way off. It just doesn't carry the depth. Perhaps it is
 untranslatable (as I believe a good number of Lakota terms
 are even from my very slight exposure to the language and
 the culture).

 --------- "RE: Conferences and Powwows" ---------
 
 From: JANS   Janet McNeely <Invisible Band>
 Subj: Upcoming conferences and powwows

 = Powwows =
  
 This week, a post from the NATIVE-L mailing list (I also saw it in
 the USENET newsgroup soc.culture.native) addressed an event with
 which I was unfamiliar -- Big Times -- and how they differed from
 Powwows.  Along with it came a terrific list of California events!
 
 Subject:      PowWows & Big Times
 X-To:         nn.general@gnosys.svle.ma.us
 To: Multiple recipients of list NATIVE-L <NATIVE-L@tamvm1.tamu.edu>
 
 Original Sender: anchor.esd.sgi.com!lyn (Lyn Dearborn)
 Mailing List:    NATIVE-L (native-l@gnosys.svle.ma.us)
 
 There have been many enquiries as to upcoming PowWows etc. in Northern
 California.  I'M SURE THIS IS INCOMPLETE, BUT IT IS BETTER THAN IT
 WAS A WEEK AGO.  This list was compiled with the much-appreciated
 assistance of Lynn Galiste of UCSC.
 
 Some of the events are PowWows, and some are Big Times.  What is the
 difference?  (a) No Intertribal dancing and over-abundance of vendors
 as you see at PowWows.  This is much more a Spiritual event .... A
 chance to celebrate and pray in the "old way"  .  Absolutely,
 positively no photos and/or recording in the Round Houses, o.k.?
 Difference #2:  More gambling and/or hand games at Big Times.
 This are a great opportunity for California Indians to "shine" in
 their heritage.  Even thought my roots are thousands of miles
 north east of here, being born in California leaves me with a
 heavy identification "crisis" at all Big Times .... I want to be
 on that roundhouse floor in my bare feet, moving to "Toto" songs,
 basket dances, etc. sigh..... and there ARE "anglos" in at least
 one dance group from the Merced  Sonora Group, so hey, maybe someday
 they will open the door to Ojibways ... but until then ....
 
 Here is that "much edited" list ... feel free to edit and enlarge
