noahbody Posted September 29, 2007 Report Share Posted September 29, 2007 Haudenosaunee law provides that meetings shall not take place after sundown, to make sure that decisions are made with a clear mind and not rushed. We all know how important it is to “sleep on” major decisions. MNN has learned that one clan mother was pressured into signing the documents that set up HDI at 3 am. Nothing signed at this hour is valid. This must be why she forgot that she did not have the right to sign. Why are 3 Cayuga clan women signing for everybody? The proper person must be selected by the people in a public process. http://www.mohawknationnews.com/news/singl.../news/news3.php Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ScottSA Posted September 29, 2007 Report Share Posted September 29, 2007 That's excellent. I just remembered an age old (oral tradition, you understand) law among my people that prohibits my great grandfather from selling his coca cola stocks, and my mother from selling my sister's first edition Beatles record...errrr....after lunch, or supper or whenever she sold it. Therefore both sales are null and void and I demand compensation immediately. And a case of Blue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kimmy Posted September 29, 2007 Report Share Posted September 29, 2007 Gee, this won't add to the impression that these "ancient laws" change from minute to minute depending on what's most convenient at the time. It seems like only yesterday that the native boosters on the forum here were touting the HDI as a brilliant and innovative mechanism for reconciling the needs of developers with the claims of the natives. (any resemblance to Mafia "protection" plans is purely coincidental.) But now apparently the Mohawks themselves are not happy with this brilliant and innovative mechanism. One can only assume that this means that developers who wrote cheques to HDI will now be asked to write more cheques to Mohawk warrior societies. -k Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jefferiah Posted September 30, 2007 Report Share Posted September 30, 2007 (edited) Did anyone read the articles on the site about this Red-X fellow who was tortured at Guantanamo (some sage figure) and Miss Kahentinetha Horn apparently got telepathic messages from him all the while this "brave soul" was imprisoned. Apparently the Americans who were torturing this fellow kept squishing his testicles and they would bounce back like silly putty. And they tried to put a chip in his brain. Oh yes and apparently this mysterious Red-X was beheaded when he was 8 years old, at the rez schools no less. But the "third dimension" conveniently sewed his head back on for him. It's all there on the Mohawk Nation News. The Weekly World News may have left us, but we can still get the truth from Miss Horn. And this woman is a University Professor.

geoffrey Posted September 30, 2007 Report Share Posted September 30, 2007 (edited) only non-Christian... Or, if you noticed my answer to her question... all of them. Religion, by it's very nature, cannot be rational. And our rational secular system of doing things in Canada should pay no attention to such foolishness.

Sure did, cant wait for the next installment to come out. It would make a really good comic book or children's cartoon. I like the part where they offer him Ottawa Senators tickets and a Casino if he'll just betray the others. I also like the description of the security forces, you know, they all wear black cowboy hats and tight black jumpsuits with Jack boots. It has to be some of the funniest stuff I've read in quite a while. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
