AUG. 22. 2024. A 7.00 pm "Today this ship enroute to Huelva Spain sailed through the St. Lawrence Seaway which meanders through the middle of <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Kahnawake" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Kahnawake</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/MohawkLand" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#MohawkLand</a>, expected to arrive there on Sept. 2. [MO 94433669 MMSI 244010871]. It’s a General Cargo ship of the Netherlands. The crash shook the community and sent many indigenous people to the site near the Pow Wow grounds. "The S.S. HEEMSKERKGRACHT, which is Dutch, were our first allies in 1684. They 'sold' their colony to the English. They were the first to adhere to the <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/TwoRow" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#TwoRow</a> and <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/kaianerekowa" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#kaianerekowa</a> as the law of the land. So they knew they couldn’t sell our land. "It is possible the Mohawks can take possession as the ship is now in the middle of kanienkehaka Mohawk territory. They surely know where they are! On ‘<a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/kaniatarowanon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#kaniatarowanon</a>,’ the 'The Great River of the Kanienkehaka', one of the biggest, most beautiful and most impressive rivers in the world."Seventy years ago the St. Lawrence Seaway Authority forcefully took the land from the Mohawks. We were never compensated. "The children use to go stand on the wall behind the catholic church and yell war whoops as the ships sailed by. The crew were so terrified they would run and hide inside their cabins. "The captain is powerful when he’s out on the sea but not on our land. He now can only sit on the ship like everyone else."A big crowd has emerged, a reminder that <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Creation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Creation</a> put us here to take care of our river. We will be here til the end of time carrying out our duties. "When all these settler/boat people are gone, we will still be here on our river where creation placed us. Since this kahonwehia cannot move, this ship is now a part of our land. "We shall send to the shipping company bales of tobacco and our thanks, according to our proper protocol. All the goods on that ship are ours. The Seaway is ours and the river is part of kasatsensera kowa sa oiera, the great natural power, and we will take care of her."Source: <a href="https://mohawknationnews.com/blog/2024/08/22/big-ship-stuck-in-kahnawake/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://mohawknationnews.com/blog/2024/08/22/big-ship-stuck-in-kahnawake/</a><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/IndigenousNews" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#IndigenousNews</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/SaintLawrenceRiver" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#SaintLawrenceRiver</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/FirstNations" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#FirstNations</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/MohawkNation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#MohawkNation</a>

Shantell PowellIt stopped raining (for now) and clouds cling to mountains and the vast St Lawrence River. When people talk about the great rivers of the world, the St Lawrence is rarely mentioned, but this river is absolutely enormous. Several years ago, while I was biking from Oshawa to Montreal, I bathed and washed my laundry in this river while guerrilla camping in the woods, backyards of businesses while they were closed, and picnic areas. <a href="https://c.im/tags/SaintLawrenceRiver" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#SaintLawrenceRiver</a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/GaspePeninsula" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#GaspePeninsula</a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/quebec" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#quebec</a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/RoadTrip" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#RoadTrip</a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/AppalachianMountains" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#AppalachianMountains</a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/Appalachians" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Appalachians</a>

Certain individuals among the '<a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Akwesasne8" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Akwesasne8</a>' had originally gone to Barnhart to exercise their right to build a hunting and gathering shelter on their own territory, in part to protest an ongoing land claim settlement that threatens to hand over Kanien’kehá:ka title to this island, among other traditionally held territories, to New York State. The settlement is being negotiated between New York entities and three Akwesasne government councils."Presently, the settlement negotiations would require the extinguishment of Mohawk title to Barnhart Island, which would be effectuated through an act of Congress. By asserting their right to the land, the <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Akwesasne8" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Akwesasne8</a> have sent a clear message to both negotiating parties. Barnhart Island, like all other territories illegally stolen and swindled from their community, is not for sale—particularly not by collaborationist band and tribal council entities that purport to represent the full community but that were in fact historically imposed upon it at gunpoint."The fact that a group of eight community members was surrounded within just a few hours by approximately 35 police agents (including both border patrol agents and state troopers) is a clear indication of the strategic significance of this island to the interests of settler-capital. As Taiewennahawi (Marina Johnson-Zafiris), one of the eight arrestees, explains in her article 'Akwesasne and the History of <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Hydropower" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Hydropower</a>,' the Moses-Saunders <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/hydrodam" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#hydrodam</a>, located at the east end of Barnhart Island, is one of the many dams along the St. Lawrence Seaway that has supplied 'cheap' electricity to an unending procession of heavily <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/polluting" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#polluting</a> factories since the 1950s. "For decades, dirty plants like <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Alcoa" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Alcoa</a>, <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/GeneralMotors" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#GeneralMotors</a>, and <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/ReynoldsMetals" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ReynoldsMetals</a> harnessed the immense power of the <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Kaniatarowanenneh" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Kaniatarowanenneh</a> (<a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/SaintLawrenceRiver" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#SaintLawrenceRiver</a>) at the Moses-Saunders dam to manufacture aluminum, a cheap, abundant, and malleable building material that requires vast amounts of power to extract and process. Not only was hydropower-fueled aluminum production critical to New York’s economic development, it was central to the national pride and independence of so-called <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Qu%C3%A9bec" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Québec</a>. Eager to assert its autonomy from Anglophone capital in the 1960s, the province began damming rivers on <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Indigenous" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Indigenous</a> land in a frenzy of hydropower nationalism. "Upstream on the St. Lawrence, the aluminum plants at Akwesasne used a <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/toxic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#toxic</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/sludge" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#sludge</a> containing polychlorinated biphenyls (<a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/PCBs" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#PCBs</a>) as a hydraulic fluid during the production process.

The <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/carcinogenic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#carcinogenic</a> soup was left exposed on the very grounds where the children of Akwesasne played and where families grew their vegetables.
