38.) "Elevated levels of DDT found along Creek that feeds Grand River." news article dated August 7th, 2015. ( 3 min read )

CTV News Kitchener, title of article: "Elevated levels of DDT found along Creek that feeds Grand River."By Abigail Bimman, dated August 7th 2015. 

"A creekbed running through the Chemtura property in Elmira containing as much as 2,900 times the level of banned pesticide DDT considered safe, and the potential for an 'environmental crisis' looms over the community.

Those are two of the conclusions of a new report from the Chemtura Public Advisory Committee (CPAC), which oversaw testing of 12 spots along the waterway, both upstream and downstream of the chemical manufacturing facility.

'The testing above the plant came back with no problems - (and) below the plant is full of chemicals,' CPAC chair Dan Holt said in an interview.

A company representative said Friday that he wasn't surprised by the results - in fact, environmental remediation manager Jeff Merriman said, Chemtura has been aware of the presence of DDT since the 1990s.

'This is DDT from historical operations.' He said

'This is nothing new. It's a matter that needs to be dealt with, but it's not a crisis.'

All spots tested along the Canagagigue Creek, which ultimately feeds the Grand River.

The most severe DDT contamination was found just 50 meters south of Chemtura.

Merriman says the pesticide is stuck on sediment along the creek bed, and not posing a risk to the water itself.

That's not enough assurance to satisfy Graham Chevreau, A CPAC member and environmental chemist to help author the report.

'Where you find DDT, you find .. the major constituent in Agent Orange.' he said

'This needs to be investigated.'

Chemtura has been doing its own testing of the creek, Merriman said - and will continue to do so.

'If it confirms there's nothing there, that's great news. If it does detect something we're committed to doing whatever's appropriate to remediate the issue,' he said.

The environmental report is the last item produced by CPAC, as the body was dissolved by Woolrich Township counselors and recent months and replaced with two other groups.

Holt and Chevreau, who do not sit on either of the new bodies, want township officials to lobby the province to take action to clean up the creekbed.

The issue is scheduled to be discussed at a Township council meeting next week."

End of news article.

( there are plenty of articles about Agent Orange contamination in Elmira, like this one, before 2021. As you can see, it is nothing new, as this article is dated 2015.)

The family will not participate in the Tom Longboat Run on Six Nations Haudenosaunee Territory, June 4, 2025.The six nation "elected band council" is the organizer of this run. This is due to the societal catastrophe that the six nations "elected band council's" cannabis industry, has inflicted upon the people, children, and future generations of Six Nations. The six nations "elected band council" is solely responsible for this societal catastrophe of death, drugs, overdoses, organized crime, human/sex  trafficking and other types of related crimes, now occurring on Six Nations territory. All the result of six nations, "elected bank councils" implementation of their "cannabis industry" on Six Nations Haudenosaunee Territory.

115.) For about the past month, the People.of Six Nstions have been reading and reacting to a news article by "THE BUREAU", dated June 3, 2025 by Sam Cooper. The title of this news article is."Mexican Cartels Expanding Operations In Canada, Using Indigenous Reserves As Factory Hubs." (10 min. read)

July 19, 2025 update- search on YouTube, the following title: "ORGANIZED CRIME ON SIX NATIONS" The People of Six Nations are now asking themselves: 1.) Is this part of the Canadian government's plan to destroy the Six Nation People, and 2.) What role does Six Nations "elected band council" play in all this. 1.)   The news article states over a dozen times that the Canadian government is, and always has been fully aware of this situation on Six Nations. This article clearly explains how the Canadian government has refused to stop it and has completely ignored the societal catastrophe, now occurring on Six Nations. Here are some quotes from this- The Bureau, news article: "if you come to some reserves- for example, Six Nations- it looks like a war zone right now, the man testified in 2008" "it's not a normal environment for a young person to grow up in, and if you have to work in a tobacco factory, that's unregulated, how does anybody know ...

104.) ATTENTION SIX NATIONS AT GRAND RIVER TERRITORY: The same type of illegal "tribal court" that the Cayuga People in New York State are struggling with now, is being quietly and quickly maneuvered into place to control and then forcefully assimilate the Six Nations People at Grand River Territory. (20 min. read)

The future of the grandchildren is at stake. Six Nation people must stop this "tribal court" now, or they will end up like the Cayuga People of New York State, only worse. What the people who are trying to put this tribal court in place are thinking, cannot be known. What is known, is how bad and dangerous this tribal court is for sovereign indigenous people. It does not work for sovereign indigenous people. It never will.  There are now real life examples of the disastrous problems of "tribal courts". It is simply being naive and foolish to think that indigenous people can make the broken white man's courts work for them. When judges and prosecuting attorneys come together at conferences, they all agree the court system is broken and they're constantly trying to fix it. So why would indigenous people use a system that its inventors are saying is broken and needs constant fixing.  The only reason to use tribal courts is to control and then forcefully assimil...
