MESSAGE TO ALL NATIVE SUPPORT GROUPS FROM THE LUBICON LAKE INDIAN NATION


September 1, 1990



The Mohawk Nation at Kanestake is currently under siege by the Canadian
Army.  The Army has taken over the community, and Mohawk Warriors and
women and children are currently surrounded in a 200 yard x 100 yard
area.  Army spokesmen say they are "going to finish phase 2 of their
mandate" to take down the barricades and occupy the Mohawk territory
tomorrow (Sunday, September 02).  Army invasion began Saturday
afternoon, with up to 3,000 heavily armed men, armoured personnel
carriers, 50 calibre machine guns, helicopters, etc.  At several points
throughout the invasion, army snipers' rifles were aimed at retreating
Mohawks.  Mohawks have vowed to defend their last small piece of land,
and the lives of their women and children.  Army guns continue to be
fired throughout this evening, most likely in an attempt to keep the
Warriors on edge and force the Warriors to fire, allowing the army to
then "respond".

The Six Nations Confederacy asks that all concerned people fax or phone
Canadian Prime Minister Mulroney and demand that he personally and
immediately meet with representatives of the Six Nations Confederacy in
order to avoid a bloodbath.

Prime Minister Mulroney's fax number is Ottawa, Ontario, 613-957-5632 or
613-957-5579; his phone number in Ottawa is 613-992-4211.
