November 2 2012 Information to the Special Rapporteur

The Mohawks of the Ouse / Grand River territory plan to submit these allegations to the Ontario Superior Court on Friday including a motion for directions, and also to the Federal Court of Canada shortly thereafter.  We have copied the Ontario Ministers of Environment, Culture and the Attorney General as well as forwarded our complaint allegations to Ontario’s Private Security and Investigative Services Branch of the Ministry of Community Safety and Correctional Services. We are thankful for the opportunity to have submitted same to the U.N. Special Rapporteur’s office.

Our hope is that the alleged offending entities including branches / arms of Canadian governments may be compelled to respect relevant international protocols commencing on Friday domestically.  We understand that mechanisms take time to work. Our fear is that further disturbances, digging and disruption / corruption of these sacred sites and other irreparable harm will be permitted to occur at the hands of the Ontario Superior Court and / or other Canadian entities notwithstanding our allegations and objections.
