18.) In 2022, Six Nations drinking water can contain at any given time, any combination of the following poisons: COVID VIRUS, FECAL PARTICALS, ASHES OF CREMATED HUMAN RRMAINS and a cocktail of any number of POISONOUS and CARCINOGENIC/CANCER CAUSING CHEMICALS(8min read)

 The following lays out why a "potable", drinking water fiilling station with clean, safe Caledonia drinking water, can and must be immediately installed on the illegal and failed Mackenzie Housing Development site, on hwy 6 and sixth line. So all Six Nations citizens can get clean, safe drinking water from this filling station. Also, the sources of some of the poisons that are in Six Nation drinking water in 2022, are explored in this article. "Potable" is the clinical and scientific term used to describe safe, clean drinking water.

According to research, only Six Nations gets their drinking water, this far downstream, on the Grand River. The internet does cite Branford, which is upstream from Six Nations, as getting their drinking water from the Grand River, also. If this is true, it can be said with a degree of certainty, that Bradford's sewer/wastewater discharges are all downstream from Brantford's drinking water Intake, posing no danger to the people of Bradford's drinking water. This would be common sense, to design it this way. Also, if you look at all the housing and commercial development along the 403 from Hamilton to Branford, it seems highly unlikely that all Branford water is now coming from the Grand River anymore. All these developments must be getting their water from the Hamilton Municipal Water Treatment Plant, piped up along side the 403. This also raises the question, what waterway is the human waste water and sewage being discharged into, from all these developments? Find out for yourself. These articles are presented as a starting point for your own investigation. Just about everyone has a smartphone for research and video camera to report wrong doings.

I have never heard of any consultation of the Six Nation people, on the subjects of all this upstream pollution, of their ONLY source of drinking water. And this only source of drinking water for six nation people is mandated by the Canadian government and administered by the Elected Chiefs and Counselors of Six Nations. This is NOW a clear violation of Bill C- 15, UNDRIP.

This is not an "infrastructure problem". This is not a "way up north problem". It is a "Canadian government's refusal to give six-nation people, clean, safe Drinking Water problem". Six Nations is surrounded by multiple, pipeline sources of clean, safe drinking water that could easily be connected to six nations drinking water supply. This problem is the Canadian government's refusal to give Six Nations people and their children clean drinking water and the Six Nations Elected Chief and Band Council administers- Canada's refusal to give safe drinking water to Six Nation People. Clean, safe drinking water for Six Nations is available and close at hand, always has been.

Remember, for all these decades- Caledonia's, Branford's and Hagersville's clean, safe drinking water has been on Six Nations doorstep all this time. Indians are not allowed to drink the same clean, safe drinking water, as white people drink. Its 2022.

As a point of illustration- since 2006, sixteen years ago, the illegal and failed Mackenzie Housing Development Site has water for fire hydrants with Caledonia water. You can see a yellow fire hydrant at the highway 6 entrance to the illegal and failed development. There could have and should have been a Caledonia water filling stations on the Site since 2006 for all the Six-Nation people and their children to use. If there is enough water for all of the illegal and failed housing developments in Caledonia in 2022, there is enough water for the children and people of Six Nations right now, in 2022.  But the Canadian government and the Elected Six Nation Chief and Band Council consciencely refuse to allow this to happen. 

Also, drinking the contaminated water that Six Nations people must use, is not the only harm that comes from this poisonous water. When a person takes a bath or shower, a small amount of that water is absorbed through the skin. And there is residue left when you cook, wash your clothes, the dishes and when your children brush their teeth. This may not seem like much, but over a lifetime... heavy metals accumulate over time and never leave the body.

Also, the village of Oshweken does not have a sewage treatment plant per say. It is my understanding that the raw sewage and wastewater from Oshweken is pumped into a lagoon located south of 4th Line as you enter Oshweken from the east. And when it rains, the Lagoon overflows into the Mackenzie Creek, poisoning the entire length of the creek with human waste water. The Mackenzie Creek is apparently the planned, entire sewage treatment plant for Oshweken. Many small communities across Canada do this. And many of these communities post roadway signs that warn of "Fecal Contamination" in their waterways. All these poisons are now strung out the entire length of Mackenzie creek. Should roadway signs be posted on the Mackenzie Creek and the Grand River, to warn of "Fecal Contamination"? Why are they not posted now? All the poisons in the Grand River have been pipelined into the Mackenzie Creek this way. Who made this decision to turn the Mackenzie Creek into a Environmental Catastrophe? Six Nations Elected Chief and Council!  The sewage discharge could have been pipelined to the Grand River, like all the smaller populated waste water discharges on the Grand River. 

It wasn't so long ago, the previous generation of Six Nations, got their drinking water from the Mackenzie Creek. It was crystal clear, you could see the fish swimming in it. It had a gravel bottom. Are we not supposed to be the "stewards of the land"? It has been said that New Credit does the same to the Boston Creek.

Why don't some of the film and documentary people and students, investigate some of this and find out...instead of doing endless fluff pieces on Tom Longboat? Because it's safe? Funding?

"Instead of Writing about Tom Longboat, Be Tom Longboat."

"Be Tom Longboat", thats right. Do what you know is true and right. Stubbornly go your own way to tell the truth about what is tragically happening to the indigenous people of Canada today. Do not be corraled by master manipulators into continuing these senseless films and documentaries on tom longboat, most without a grain of truth to them. I know this because I have written a book on my grandfather from my mother's memories. It is written down, so it is my "intellectual property." These writings are excerpts from a book I have written.

When Tom Longboat was alive, they used him for their own purposes of advancement and to make money off of him. And in death, they are still using Tom Longboat for their own purposes of advancement and to make money off of him.

This is why I do not interview. My mom did not interview. I now see why my mom did not intetview. Because after the information is given in an interview, the family has no control over it. The media interviewer with the information, can and will do anything they want with it. This is just how it is with all media, it is a business. I am not "difficult". I am truthful and call out wrong doings when I see them, as did my mom and all those before her. 

Remember, our oral tradition is why we still have what we have today, from the beginning of creation to this day. That's why the government is always trying to get rid of our Oral Tradition. College is designed to destroy our Oral Tradition.

It is a Six Nation Longhouse teaching, that says if you took 12 of our Indian children and put them through the white man schooling, we doubt one of them would come back and help the people.

And let us remember what it says in the Two Row Wampum Belt. If a person puts one foot in the white man's boat and the other foot in the Indians canoe, a storm will come up and that person will fall in and the water will take that person away. And only the creator can help them.

 "The bear does not need to go to college to learn how to be the bear". If the bear did go to college to learn how to be the bear, the bear would come out not knowing how to be the bear, but how the government wants the bear to think and act. Why not do a documentary about this- when indigenous students go to college, they put down the mind the Creator gave them and then pick up the "college mind" of colonization instead.

Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women, Residential Schools, Band Council trying to unsuccessfully turn Six Nations into a municipality, Bill C-15, Poisonous drinking water, the list goes on and on... What are you waiting for?

Now, back to the poison drinking water.

Remember, all of the following toxic substances, are violations of human and commom sense standards of safe drinking water, and are all being discharged upstream from the Six Nations drinking water intake, on the lower Grand River. All without any consultation of the People, the Children and the Unborn Coming Generations of Six Nations. All in violation of Bill C-15/UNDRIP.

"COVID VIRUS and FECAL PARTICALS are in Six Nations drinking water at any given time". It has been in the news lately, that scientists are now analyzing Municipal human waste sewer discharge water for the covid virus. They are finding enough covid virus in the wastewater being discharged into waterways to determine the rate and spread of covid infection in the municipalities. This led to information that for years, Canada routinely dumps raw, untreated human wastewater into Canada's waterways. Some communities have put up warning signs that read "fecal contamination" on the bridges of the waterways in their community. Why are there not warning signs like this on the bridges of the Grand River? This raw sewage dumping includes the Grand River, where Six Nations people must get their drinking water from. Think of all the municipal, raw human waste water discharges, upstream from the Six Nations water intake. 

There is an old sign by the Caledonia Dam that gives statistics on the Grand River. It reads: by the year 2020, there will be over a million people living upstream from Caledonia that will be sending their "effluent" downstream into the Grand River. "effluent" means waste materials, pollutants. This means, to begin with: a million people a day, will be flushing their toilets, for Six Nation People to drink this "toxic water". This toxic cocktail of: urine, feces, unused prescription drugs, hospital waste, disinfection byproducts, industrial pollutants, pesticides, herbicides, industrial chemicals, parking lot runoff and illegal dumping of hazardous waste, just to start with. This is what Six Nations people are drinking every day and night.

Here are a few news articles for your consideration:

CKPGtoday. CA 2020 / 02 / 27- "Canada dumps raw sewage into waterways. Nearly 900 billion litres since 2013. Ottawa dumped 900 billion litres over five year period. Enough to fill an Olympic swimming pool 355,000 times."

CBC News. December 12th, 2016, senior reporter: Elizabeth Thompson."billions of litres of raw sewage, untreated wastewater pouring into Canadian waterways. More than 205 billion litres of sewage spewed into Canada's waterways, last year (2011). Municipalities have until 2030 or 2040 to comply to new Canadian standards. 2013- 2014 actually saw an increase of raw sewage... lack of funding"

"Our aging wastewater infrastructure was designed for a different climate, and for many municipalities across Canada, when you have a deluge rain event, your sewage treatment bypasses the sewage plant and goes right downstream." Green Party leader-Elizabeth May.

"Raw sewage and untreated wastewater flowing into Canada's rivers and oceans has been a problem for years..."

"Untreated Municipal Water has two forms. 1st- sewage pump directly into the waterways with little or no attempt to clean it up. 2nd- older systems that combined sanitary and storm sewers. Mix is normally treated before discharge, but if a big rain or melting snow, the system releases sewage and all, into water ways to prevent backing up into homes. 25% of communities have inadequate systems." (End news article.)

"ASHES OF CREMATED HUMAN REMAINS are in Six-Nation drinking water at any given time". No mention in the following article, if Six Nations or any other indigenous nations were ever consulted on this matter. NOW, a clear violation of Bill C-15/ UNDRIP, on too many points to list here. Read Bill C-15.

A few news articles:

CTV News, April 14th, 2021, CTV News, Kitchener/news- "Community wants permission to scatter ashes in Grand River. Environment Ministry says it's likely wouldn't impact water quality."

" Kitchener member of Community are asking Cambridge to allow a designated space for mourners to scatter ashes along the Grand River. 'It's very important you know, saying a final goodbye' said Amit Aivi. People do scatter ashes in the Grand River, but actually there is no law allowing it or prohibiting it', said Cambridge resident Pvakash Venkateraman. That is why Venkateraman made requests to the city to set clear rules regulating it." (End news article.)

"A COCKTAIL OF ANY NUMBER OF POISONOUS AND CARCINOGENIC/CANCER CAUSING CHEMICALS are in Six Nations drinking water at any time". In the 1970s, we stop swimming and fishing in the Grand River because of an oily film on us after swimming. The industrial dumping of poisonous and carcinogenic chemicals and farm run off has been going on for decades. Six Nations people have known this all along and so has the Canadian government. Boiling water does not get rid of, or neutralize any of these poisonous chemicals. Think of all the boil-water advisories Six Nations has gone through. The water is still not safe to drink, after boiling it. Boiling water does nothing to neutralize these cancer causing chemicals. You are still drinking poison water.

From the very beginning of Six Nations getting their drinking water from the Grand River, there have been "boil-water advisories" or informal "don't drink the water notices". When my uncle lived in Ohsweken in the 1980s, there were many times when he would go door-to-door in the apartment building in which he lived, telling people not to drink the water because he found out that there was some type of toxic substance in the water.

BOILING WATER DOES NOT REMOVE THE POISONOUS, CANCER CAUSING CHEMICALS FROM SIX NATIONS WATER.

Boiling water may only kill the microbes, like bacteria, viruses and parsites in the water.

As always, all topics are "only touched on" and offered for your consideration and thoughts. It is 2022.
