66.) June 16th 2023, 7:49 p.m. edt. ABC Evening News: United States Attorney General Merrick B. Garland releases Department Of Justice report of Minneapolis Police department, finding that African Americans and Native Americans the target of excessive force and systemic racism by the Minneapolis Police Department for decades. (8min. read )

 This is the first or second time in my memory, when I heard Native Americans being included in any type of statistical analysis like this.

In the 1960's the American Indian Movement (AIM) was created in Minneapolis, Minnesota, to combat the racism, rape, assault and murder of Native Americans at the hands of the Minnesota Police Department. Because of this and AIM's expanded protectivism of Native Americans, they were and are listed with a "domestic terrorist" classification.

United States Attorney General Merrick B. Garland, is the highest ranking law enforcement person in the U.S.. With Attorney General Garland's Department of Justice (DOJ) report, would he now consider removing that "domestic terrorist" classification of AIM.

AIM was a direct result of the United States government's genocide of the Native American People. Internet search: American Indian Movement (AIM).

The need for AIM occurred because of the assault, rape and murder of Native Americans by the Minneapolis Police Department. This 2023 DOJ report documents "pattern or practice", "unjustified deadly force", and discrimination against people with "behavioral health disabilities." This is just a sampling of this 92 page DOJ report.

See website: justice.gov. Department of Justice- title: "Justice Department Find Civil Rights Violations by Minneapolis Police Department and the City of Minneapolis." There are numerous websites on this Justice Department's latest report. You can download the 92 page report-PDF from this site. Included in this report our DOJ's 28 "remedial steps" to improve policing on the Minneapolis Police Department. "remedial steps" are not going to change anything.

From internet news article: KXAN.com, june 17,2023. by Jim Salter and Mark Vancleave- Associated Press. Title: "George Floyd's killing capped years of violence, discrimination by the Minneapolis Police Department , DOJ says" . 

Quotes from article: 

"The investigation found that black drivers in Minneapolis are 6.5 times more likely to be stopped then whites, and Native Americans our 7.9 times more likely to be pulled over (than whites). And police often retaliate against protesters and journalists covering protests, the report said." and "A similar investigation by the Minneapolis Department of Human Rights found 'significant racial disparities with respect to officers use of force, traffic stops, searches, citations and arrests'. It criticized 'an organizational culture where some officers and supervisors use racist, misogynist and disrespectful language with impunity'."

From the 1960's to present, the Native Americans of the City of Minneapolis repeatedly complained about this type of civil rights violations, as now outlined in this 2023, DOJ's 92 page report. For decades, these complaints outlined in this DOJ report made by Native Americans, but went unanswered by the courts and law enforcement at the local, state and federal level. A complete failure of the U.S. legal system to protect Native Americans- because they are Native Americans.

When the U.S. government was pursuing an AIM Leader, he sought sanctuary and protection under the sovereignty of the Onondaga Nation- Haudenosaunee  Confederacy, south of Syracuse, New York. Because of the Confederacy exercising its legal sovereignty, the U.S. government recognizied that sovereign sanctuary and refused to take the AIM Leader into custody, while he was under the sovereign sanctuary of the Haudenosaunee Confederacy. Because of this, the United States government put the label of "domestic terrorist" classification on the Haudenosaunee Confederacy. 

Will Attorney General Merrick Garland now remove the "domestic terrorist" classification against the Haudenosaunee Confederacy. Citing this latest Department of Justice report, on the "pattern or practice" of excessive and "unjustified deadly force" and systemic racism perpetrated against African Americans and Native Americans, from the Minneapolis Police Department and the City of Minneapolis.

To further illustrate the importance of this DOJ announcement of "unjustified deadly force" and systemic racism against African Americans and Native Americans by the Minneapolis Police department, remember from previous Article 7.) of this blog, concerning the Position Paper on Genocide from the "Longest Walk" in 1978. In September 1977 the Haudenossunee Confederacy went to the United Nations, Geneva, Switzerland to file a complaint of genocide against the United States. And in that complaint, it listed a 1977 U.S. Government Accounting Office (GAO) document, that stated between 1971 and 1975, 24% of the Native American women in the U.S. were forcefully or illegally sterilized. When the U.S. was questioned about this, they stated they found no such document. 

Will U.S. Attorney General Merrick Garland, now considered releasing this GAO document citing the forceful and illegal sterilization of Native American Women.

Will U.S. Attorney General Merrick Garland also released the FBI statistics for the year(s) prior to the George Floyd murder, that gave evidence to the fact that Native Americans are the number one group of people killed by the police in the United States, not African Americans. This statistic was based on yearly figures. I have searched for this FBI statistical chart since seeing it on the evening news, after the George Floyd murder and have been unsuccessful. Now it is understood, these numbers do fluctuate year by year, but that does not take away from the fact that Native Americans are not reported as the number one or number two group of people killed by police in the United States. 

When have you ever heard that Native Americans are the number one people killed by police?

Yet Native Americans in this DOJ report are peripheral to the violence committed against African Americans. This is not the downplay of violence committed against African Americans by police departments. Let us simply tell the "whole truth" about the situation as it is. As I'm sure African Americans would agree.

Why does the media only cite African Americans when it comes to police killings and not Native Americans? As I have said, this is the first or second time I have ever seen Native Americans included in a government report of this nature or reported as such by the media.

A Special Report by the DOJ must be made documenting the crimes and civil rights violations committed against Native Americans by the Minnesota Police Department, dating back to the 1960s. This is not an unreasonable ask of the DOJ, or it being an "overly broad, or unduly burdensome propounding (request) as the party can include enough information to make the requested documents easily identifiable" to the DOJ. The previous was put in quotations marks because this is the usual legal dodge that the legal system uses to not investigate civil rights violations committed against Native Americans. The DOJ knows the civil rights violations the Native Americans are talking about, as the DOJ has covered them up for decades.

Contact your Congress person and U.S. Attorney General Merrick B. Garland, to force this report to be compiled and issued.

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.

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...
