Kahentinetha Horn, beaten and hospitalized at the border, Katenies in  
prison

By Brenda Norrell

Kahentinetha Horn, publisher of Mohawk Nation News, was beaten by  
special forces at the US/Canadian border and suffered a heart attack.  
Kahentinetha is currently hospitalized in Canada. Katenies, who was  
accompanying her, was taken to prison at an undisclosed location.  
Please read the following message, which has been confirmed as true,  
and contact the leaders of Canada and demand both women be released  
and justice served to the perpetrators.

Kahentinetha's articles on sovereignty, mining on Indigenous lands,  
corruption and border rights have made her a priority target of the  
Canadian government for assassination. While on the Arizona border in  
November, at the Indigenous Border Summit of the Americas II, she  
challenged the Tohono O'odham Nation's incarceration of Indigenous  
migrants in the outdoor "cage," construction of the border vehicle  
barrier through the ceremonial route and the digging up of O'odham  
ancestors for the border wall by the contractor Boeing.
As the borders were increasingly militarized by Homeland Security and  
Canadian corporations increasingly seized Indigenous Peoples lands for  
mining, Kahentinetha and Katenies, were targeted with death threats.



ONE ELDER SAVED BY A HEART ATTACK - ANOTHER ELDER MISSING IN ACTION:  
MOHAWK GRANDMOTHERS ATTACKED AT CANADA-US BORDER CROSSING ON UNCEDED  
HAUDENOSAUNEE LAND

Monday, June 16, 2008Mohawk Elder and Grandmother, Kahentinetha Horn  
suffered a heart attack, Saturday, June 14, 2008 during a vicious,  
unprovoked assault by OPP and border agents at Cornwall, in Akwesasne  
community. She had been beaten and handcuffed when she collapsed.  
Earlier when she was pulled over, Kahentinetha immediately contacted  
her brother, a lawyer, on her cellphone. The entire incident was being  
filmed as her brother rushed to the scene just in time to call an  
ambulance for her.Meanwhile, Elder and Grandmother Katenies of  
Akwesasne was beaten and taken prisoner to an as yet undisclosed  
location. We are very concerned about her safety. We demand to know of  
her whereabouts and that she be> released immediately. A few months  
ago, Julian Fantino put out the word, warning Kahentinetha not to set  
foot in Ontario or else. She is the publisher of MNN and regular  
internet reports that are very critical of police and government  
actions toward Indigenous people. Her articles often clearly state the  
legalities/realities of the situation that Canada is a corporation  
plundering unceded Turtle Island. The land and resources belong to the  
Ongwehoneh people. Canada's huge debt to us will bankrupt them  
forever.The other day, while Stephen Harper was making a public  
apology to Indigenous for the crimes of the residential schools, he  
was also preparing to send the army in at 6 nations. Brantford city  
mayor has requested it, stating his city police cannot handle another  
"Mohawk uprising", in other words, peaceful protests against housing  
development where non resident, non Natives attack the protesters  
while the police watch.

The Ontario Conservatives call for military intervention every day. On  
Saturday, border agents were pulling over every Native person.  
Kahentinetha and Katenies were traveling in Akwesasne in the course of  
their regular activities and were caught up in the dragnet. Did  
Fantino set up a trap for the two outspoken, Mohawk grandmothers? We  
suspect that Kahentinetha would have been killed at a secret location  
had she not had a heart attack and been taken to hospital. Immediately  
following this incident, many Mohawks and supporters started to gather  
at Akwesasne. Kahentinetha and Katenies' attackers want them to accept  
being Canadian or else they will kill them and anyone else who resists  
colonization. This low level warfare is playing out on the "border"  
between Canada and the US, an imaginary line drawn right through the  
Mohawk community of Akwesasne and through Haudenosaunee territory  
which is a vast area on BOTH sides of the Great Lakes. This Great  
Lakes area is also a proposed center for the NWO. Many military plans  
are underway including nuclear submarines in the Great Lakes and JTF2,  
Aerospace Warfare Center and NATO FOB (Forward Operating> Base) at a  
new base being built at Trenton, near Tyendinaga Mohawk community.

Tyendinaga was attacked by OPP/SWAT in April when Mohawks protested  
housing development there. If Canadians are so damned sorry about the  
abuse of Native people, why is this still happening? Why do people  
remain silent when Mohawk elders and grandmothers are attacked like  
this? We are under constant surveillance> and threats and attacks  
while our land continues to be plundered and pillaged. Was this a  
failed assassination attempt ordered by Julian> Fantino, commissioner  
of OPP and head of the biggest gang in the area? We must demand  
answers and get answers. This attempted genocide must cease. We will  
never give up.>> Call or write to politicians, media, action lists  
including international. Get the word out now!!! K..... will be

Update re Kahentinetha Horn - Mohawk Grandmothers Attacked at Canada- 
US Border Crossing
June 16, 2008 1pmKahentinetha Horn has been transferred to an Ottawa  
hospital while the whereabouts of Katenies remain unknown. Outrage is  
growing in Indian country. Who will be next in the roundups? There is  
no doubt that this incident 'an attempt to take a human life', of  
Kahentinetha Horn - makes the false apology given by the Harper  
government to Native peoples for past tortures and maltreatment  
completely null and void.

Token drugstore Indians like Phil Fontaine paraded around on TV to  
receive this apology are all on government payrolls. They represent  
and speak for no one but the government. It shows the hypocrisy  
insidiously embedded in the Harper government.This incident was not  
carried out by regular border patrol personnel. It was carried out by  
a team of professionals who are installed at this particular border  
crossing for the sole purpose of apprehending Miss Horn and doing away  
with her permanently.

Behaviours and actions like this only come about when ordered and  
sanctioned by the highest levels of Harper's government and CSIS. This  
attempt on Miss Horn's life failed this time, but we are confident  
that Harper, CSIS and Fantino will continue in their efforts to  
silence Ms Horn forever. This attempt is just a variation of  
extraordinary rendition where one is whisked away to an undisclosed  
location, tortured and later found dead in a ditch somewhere.Karakwine  
will be speaking with Kevin Annett on live radio today at 4:30 pm  
Montreal time. Stop the Genocide. Speak out while you still can!!!
