Mohawk Community Evicts Non-Natives Over Concerns About Too Many ‘White Residents’ (video report)

CTV: The Mohawk Council is sending out eviction notices to non-natives who live in the South Shore community.

Band councilors say their laws interdict non-natives from living on their land, and so they are giving several dozen people ten days to leave the reserve.

"It's nothing new to anybody," said Grand Chief Mike Delisle.

"[Anyone] who's saying, 'well, I never heard of this, it's racist' or what have you, It's been a custom in Kahnawake since time immemorial."

Newbie, too. Impending zotting?

[BykrBayb]

But was it sarcasm?

[BykrBayb]

Maybe not. Probably just poor posting skills.

I’ll have to disagree with you on that point. An owner of private property is allowed to restrict access in any way he wants. In contrast to the owner of a public business (let’s say something like a gas station), private property can be restricted. I can let people onto my private property (or not) at my sole discretion.

in addition it is illegal.

In some communities it is even illegal to have large “for sale” signs in order to prevent “white flight”.

Advertising is not allowed to show anything that would imply race favored neighborhoods.

There are also limitations on indian land in certain areas, there is no carte blanch to be racist.

Friends of mine live right by the reservation in Nedrow, so I know of what you speak. A friend of theirs is an Onondaga and married a white woman, so he does not live on the reservation.

Regarding the sovereign nation thing, I'd say they are more self-sufficient than the U.S. We rely on China for just about everything and I certainly don't feel independent living under Republicrat rule. But I do see your point, I'd expect them to be a bit more independent. At least the Oneida's had the moxie to open Turning Stone.

I did not say I agree with it, only that it would be acted upon. Many mens only groups, although private have been forced to let in women.

Been there, done that been done to, too.

A sarcasm tag is also used to show that the poster understands that some people are too ignorant to know that there really are people out there who believe the ridiculous things they post.

A sarcasm tag is essential for someone until they've established a posting history. Being on FR for less than two months isn't enough time.

And before Georgia1 gets his panties in a wad about being treated like the noob that he is, I've seen far too many noobs who are DU suicide runs post comments just like that and get zotted for it.

Don't like it, G1? Get over it. That's life.....

Not enough buffalo to go around this year?

I'm a female Cambodian refugee who received US citizenship last year and although I don't know all the nuances and pecker order this blog requires are you saying that the people with the most posts are superior and can look down the nose at newcomers to their blog (country). This doesn't seem like how I was taught at the classes to get citizenship. They taught the Constitution and Bill of Rights along with reference materials from the Federalist Papers doesn't grant equality but by “Being” we ARE equal. Quotas and numbers of posts to establish a rank-ing doesn't sound like the America our Professor was so emotional about. Is this blog the norm for all Constitutionalists and Conservative peoples. Please advise proper pecker order protocols. Is this a /s because I'm confused as I ACED my test to stay here. PS I'll put my picture up too if that is the problem you're having with me. Thank you.

I couldn’t find the place where my picture goes even though it is a little old. My profile didn’t have a place either. And the SEARCH didn’t locate it also. I’ll try again later.
