the 1784 Haldimand Proclamation was a treaty that set aside about 950,000 acres—roughly 384,450 hectares—along the Grand River for its use and benefit, in recognition of its alliance with the British Crown during the American Revolution. Six Nations alleges that the Crown later failed to protect the tract, improperly disposed of portions of it, and mismanaged or failed to account for the proceeds. Canada and Ontario dispute those allegations.
My read: the article supports a case that the government’s reconciliation commitments are losing force in practice. Your broader argument concerns how rights get defined and exercised through agreements, legislation and courts. For that argument to land hard, each example should show which rights are expressly surrendered, modified, delegated or made subject to a legal test. Those mechanisms are related, but they are not legally interchangeable.
This is a real test of “Truth before Reconciliation.” A parliamentary debate can put denialism and intimidation on the record, but the follow-through matters: protecting people targeted by it, supporting survivors and communities & deciding whether Parliament will act on the proposed law. A debate alone won’t do that
@RussDiabo My read: the judge called out the Crown’s delay plainly, but the court’s framework still treats a negotiated settlement as the measure of what is owed. Accountability for breaking the deal is not the same as resolving the full Treaty land debt
Похоже, впервые. За тебя никогда не лгу. Но может другие, и мне не надо. Будет легче так, так горит само на солнце. И я смогу без снов, только иногда, если хочется сердцу. Я перепутала, думала, что любовь. Но оказалось неправда. Я перепутала, думала, что любовь.
Every new idea Cda comes up with is stolen from Indigenous pps. Kda's xersing it's own right to self -determination & Assumption crowns sovereignty is entangled w/pre existing Aboriginal sovereignties Art (1) #ICCPR -#ICESCR Art (3) UNDRIP Cda can not be a unilateral descion made by settler gov't !

@RussDiabo If Quebec claims the right to determine its future, on what basis could it deny the same right to the Indigenous peoples whose territories it proposes to include?
The U.S. government forced generations of Indigenous kids from their homes and made them attend government-funded Christian boarding schools where they tried to “educate” Native languages and cultures out of them by physical and psychological abuse—terrible legacy we can’t forget
And the legacy is living: families lost children, languages were disrupted, and survivors and descendants still carry the harm. Remembering it means listening to survivors, locating and honouring children who never came home, and supporting Indigenous peoples’ own work to restore language, culture, and authority.
@1mohawklawyer@RussDiabo Asking the court to define the limits of Indigenous self-drtermination gives the Colonial framework the final say. Challenge the Court's authority to supply the answer not saying Indigenous pps should never use a court to defend themselves
