 Here is the complete letter: "THE UNITED STATES GOVERNMENT TO THE SENECA NATION OF INDIANS TO CONYODAREYOH (HANDSOME LAKE)  WITH HIS BRETHREN AND ASSOCIATES OF THE SENECA NATION OF INDIANS, NOW PRESENT AT THE SEAT OF GOVERNMENT OF THE UNITED STATES. Brothers:  Your Father and good friend, the President of the United States, has taken into consideration all that you communicated to him when you took him by the hand three days ago, and he has authorized me to give you the following answers: Brother, the President is pleased with seeing you all in good health after so long a journey, and he rejoices in his heart to find that one of your own people has been employed to make you sober, good and happy, and that he is so well disposed to give you good counsel and to act before you such useful examples. Brothers, if you and all the red people follow the advice of your friend and teacher, the Handsome Lake, and in future be sober, honest, industrious and good, there can be no dou...

Yes, the United Nations currently recognizes an Indigenous PEOPLES Day (created in 1982). What is needed now in 2023, is an Indigenous NATIONS Month.  When the wording of the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous "Peoples" was being hammered out, every word was being argued over by the world powers and the indigenous nations. The Indigenous Nations tried to have it be named the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous "Nations". But the world powers won out and that's why today it's called the United Nations Declaration of the Rights of Indigenous "Peoples". The world powers made sure the Indigenous Nations of the world would be kept as "Peoples" and would not be given recognition as Indigenous "Nations". It is now time for the United Nations to give that recognition to the Indigenous Nations of the world. And to designate an official Indigenous Nations status, seat and voice at the United Nations....

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 ...

 "Circumstances Connected with the War of 1812. REPLY ANNEX 88, From Canadian Archives, Book M 113, page 145. War Department, London, 27th December, 1814. Sir,--- With reference to the subject of my dispatches bearing this date, I beg to draw your further attention to the following consideration. It is very desirable that any Treaty of Peace which we may conclude, with Indian Nations or Tribes actually at war with us, should be expressed in terms which denote the Independence of the Nation or Tribe with which we are treating, and you will intimate to the friendly nations that in their treaties with the United States of America they ought to adhere as much as possible to the terms used in their former treaties with the United States--- describing themselves as "Nations" not "Tribes" wherein it has been formally the practice to so designate themselves. I have, &c., (Signed) BATHURST. Lieutenant General Sir George Prevost, Bart., &c.,&c.,&c., A tru...

 "Circumstances Connected with the War of 1812. REPLY ANNEX 89. From Canadian Archives, Book M 113, pages 147 and 148. Extract from a Dispatch of Earl Bathurst to Lieutenant General Sir George Prevost, Bart., dated Downing Street, 27th Decr., 1814. I have also to draw your attention to the two articles which relate to the Indian Nations or Tribes, that may be at war with either of the two contracting parties at the time when the Treaty shall be ratified. You will assure the friendly Indian Nations that Great Britain would not have consented to make peace with the United States of America unless those Nations or tribes which had taken part with us, had been included in the pacification. You will use your utmost endeavors to induce them to conclude a Peace with the United States on the Terms secured to them by the Treaty, as we cou'd not be justified in offering them further assistance, if they should persist in Hostilities.. If there should be any Indian Nations or Tribes actua...

A Chief from each of the Six Nations at Grand River make the following declaration. List of Chiefs too numerous for space given here. Here is the excerpt: "National Organization on Grand Reserve , REPLY ANNEX 98. June 14th,1914. Dominion of Canada, Province Ontario, County of Brant. To wit: in the matter of the Cayuga Indians." "2. That the Department of Indian Affairs of the Dominion of Canada holds as Trustees for the said Six Nations certain monies the proceeds of sales from time to time of portions of our original reservation at the Grand River, the said reservation having been at one time of much greater extent than now. These monies yield an annual interest which is paid over to the Six Nation Indians, each Indian receiving the same sum. The Indian Department, for its own purposes and conveniences, prepares rolls of the various Indian Nations included within the Six Nation confederacy, and on such rolls it enters the names of all Indians as belonging to the same Na...

"Circumstances connected with the War of 1812. REPLY ANNEX 87, From Files of Canadian Indian Department. Crossroads, 21st Aug., 1813. Message from the Six Nations of Buffaloe Creek through Lasore, Caughnawa Chief and a Delaware who were taken prisoner by The Americans on the 17th Feb., addressed to the Six Nations at the Grand River. Lasore addressed the Chiefs and warriors, and saluting them after in the usual manner delivered the following message:--- Brothers; The Six Nations of Buffaloe Creek came to the place that our people are confined and spoke to me particularly and expressed wish that I should come in here with a white flag to speak to you. Their words I shall repeat. Brothers of the Six Nations it is not the will of the Great Spirit that we should be divided, it is the fault of the Americans and English that we are killing each other. It is hard that we cannot communicate together. It is very much our wish and as the road is open at the Black Rock, we invite you to that...

 I will first present this legal document, followed by the explanation of the source, which is one of the secret books from the "shadow libraries"(see article 67.), that the public is forbidden from reading. Here from that book, is "Reply Annex 1". They use the phrase "Reply Annex" in place of "chapter", throughout the book. This book is a legal document, as per that arbitration. Here's the first page and Annex from that book: "INDIAN NATIONAL AND FAMILY RELATIONS REPLY ANNEX 1. 'The Iroquois Book of Rites,' edited by Horatio Hale, M. A., published as No. 2 of the Library of Aboriginal American Literature; edited by D.G. Brenton, M.D., Philadelphia, 1883. Page 34. When by the events of the Revolutionary war the original confederacy was broken up, the larger portion of the people followed Brant to Canada. The refugees comprise nearly the whole of the Caniengas"  (Mohawks)  "and the greater part of the Onondagos and Cayug...

 I have continually written in these articles, that they are but a starting point for discussion in your circle, about the Haudenosaunee people. So for people who are reading this, who are not in that Haudenosaunee Circle, there may be similarities to your situation, there may be things that do not apply or oppose your situation. This is because the Haudenosaunee are in a unique position, in the world. Even from other Indian nations across North America and South America. The Haudenosaunee have always dealt nation to nation with european nations and empires since first contact. And to this day, we are still dealing with nations and empires. And that is the English empire, that now call themselves the "Five Eyes". The United Kingdom, the United States, Canada, Australia and New Zealand. Treaties can only occur between nations. A citizen cannot hold a treaty with its own nation. The sovereign, democratic Haudenosaunee have never lived and never will live according to the rules ...
