81.) Canada's Bill C15 definition of "Indigenous Peoples" does not apply to the Haudenosaunee. And Bill C15's reference to "Section 35 of the Constitution Act of 1982", does not apply to Haudenosaunee. Bill C15 does not apply to the Haudenosaunee. Here's why.(8 min. read)

This is why the Haudenosaunee Confederacy can never work or deal with any "band council".

Here's the Canadian legal definition of "Indigenous Peoples" quoted from Bill C15:

"Indigenous peoples has the meaning assigned by the definition Aboriginal peoples of Canada in subsection 35 (2) of the Constitution Act, 1982."

First, let's look at "Aboriginal peoples of Canada". Recall Article 29, regarding not letting nations or entities call you anything except by your Sovereign Indian Nation name. By allowing these colonial labels, like "Aboriginal" and "First Nations", to designate one's Sovereign Indian Nation, is an agreement to be a submissive, vassel subject, to the racist colonial laws, the Indian Act and being the wards of the the colonializing power- in this case Canada. You are voluntarily giving up your sovereignty by allowing Canada to call you by these labels of colonization. And you are voluntarily giving acceptance to Canada, to apply their laws of colonization upon that Sovereign Indian nation. In essence, you are giving up your sovereignty.

Definition: Vassal- a subservient, subordinate or subject of a ruling power.

All "Indian Act-band councils" across Canada, are "vassel councils" to Canada. The Assembly of First Nations (AFN), is a "vassel assembly" to Canada. All their followers are agreeing to be "vassal subjects", citizens of Canada. They do this by recognizing colonial laws of Canada, as being the supreme law over themselves. 

This is one reason among many, why the Haudenosaunee Confederacy can never deal or work with any "band council". The same is true in the United States, for Indians who also agree to be vassal subjects of the U.S., controlled by the Bureau of Indian Affairs.

The Haudenosaunee Confederacy is a Sovereign Nation, with nation to nation Treaties. The Haudenosaunee are not "Aboriginal Peoples of Canada" nor are they "First Nations People of Canada".

And if we look at: Aboriginal Peoples "of Canada". "Of Canada" - means these "Aboriginal peoples" recognize the Canadian border. And under the Canadian definition of "indigenous peoples", they would recognize the border between Canada and the United States. An admission of being a Canadian citizen, subject to Canadian law and Canadian taxation.

"The ultimate aim is to bring the Indians into full citizenship", a quote from the 1924 Indian Affairs document, sent to the League of Nations as a reply to Chief Levi General speech, at the League of Nations. See Article 1.

Secondly, let us visit the "Constitution Act of 1982, subsection 35 (2)".

Let's review the time period of Canadian politics in the early 1980s, when the "Constitution Act of 1982" was legislated and made law. In this same time period, Canadian Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau produced the "White Paper", which was designed to eliminate all the rights of Indian people across Canada and make them tax paying Canadian citizens. 

And from Article 1, a quote from Canadian Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau during the First Prime Ministers Meeting in 1983: "If you no longer speak your language and no longer practice your culture, then you have no right to demand Aboriginal rights from us, because you are assimilated with the ruling power."

When Canada uses the word "culture", they mean "religion".

Specifically, the Canadian government produced laws and documents from this period of time that are racist, imposed colonialism and are illegal under Bill C15. 

Yet in Bill C15, Canada cites the "Constitution Act of 1982, Section 35" as being "recognized and affirmed... is an underlying principle and value of the Constitution of Canada..." as it applies to Canada's current and legal definition in Bill C15 of "Indigenous Peoples".

This is a true and clear admission of Canada's continued colonialism.

The "Constitution Act of 1982, Section 35", falls under the same section of Bill C15's definition of the "Doctrine of Discovery", as being: "racist, scientifically false, illegal and invalid, morally condemnable and socially unjust".

From Bill C15: "Preamble: Whereas all doctrines, policies and practice based on or advocating the superiority of peoples or individuals on the basis of national origin or racial, religious, ethnic or cultural differences, including the doctrines of discovery and terra nullis, are racist, scientifically false, illegal and invalid, morally condemnable and socially unjust;"

Also from Bill C15: "Preamble: Whereas the government of Canada rejects all forms of colonialism..."

From the University of British Columbia website- indigenousfoundations.arts.ubc.ca: "Constitutional Act 1982, Section 35", here is a quote: 

"Sto':lo author Lee Miracle considers that Section 35 reinforces colonialism by recognizing Canadian law as supreme, instead of breaking away from it as would be expected under a true nation-to-nation relationship. Lawyer and judge Mary Ellen Turpel also argues that by accepting the constitution, a colonial form of rule based in Western (non-indigenous) concepts and ideologies, such as individual rights and private property ownership, is acknowledging the colonial power as the overarching, supreme law in which 'everything has to be adjusted to fit the dominant system'." Also from the website-"Given that legal cases have at times upheld Aboriginal rights (e.g. Sparrow) and at other times allowed infringement, the true impact of Section 35 remains to be seen."

It was no mistake that Canada made sure the continued colonialism of the "Constitution Act of 1982, Section 35", was woven deeply into the fabric of Bill C15.

So it would appear that anytime the word or phrase "indigenous, indigenous peoples or "indigenous people" is used, it must be understood that it's not under the definition of Bill C15. The use of the word or phrase "indigenous, indigenous peoples" in all of these blog Articles, is not the Canadian definition of "indigenous peoples" used in Bill C15.

*Canada's Bill C15 definition of "indigenous peoples" does not apply to the Haudenosaunee.

* Canada's "Constitution Act of 1982, section 35", does not apply to the Haudenosaunee.

*Canada's Bill C15 does not apply to the Haudenosaunee.

Any Indian Nation or individual who uses the Constitution Act of 1982, subsection 35, is knowingly or unknowingly, placing themselves under the jurisdiction of the colonial laws of Canada. And by doing so, legally acknowledges the colonial power of Canada, as supreme law over themselves.

The colonialism of Canada's "Constitution Act of 1982 subsection 35(2)" must be repealed.

Now you know why. And as is the case with all of these Articles, this is just touching on the subject, as more could have been written at length. Composed for further discussion in your circle.

As I have related in previous articles, only those who tell the truth are retaliated against.
