They arranged an appeal hearing without notifying me on March 27, 2003!
Funny...
I got a call from CBC News here in Regina; apparently KKKanada was
attempting
to get their courts to reverse the Oct decision on my SIN Fraud
charge. The hearing was set for court that afternoon
at 2:PM at the Court of Queens
Bench on Victoria Avenue, in courtroom #2.
If CBC hadn't phoned me, I'd never have
known... until the dogs came
with their leashes!

The result??
After several days of unusually warm weather locally, a light snowfall
filled the sky right
after my court ended today. Now it's nice again...
When I got back into my van after court this afternoon the following
song was playing on the radio: "Another One Bites The Dust"! And next,
ZZ Top, "I'm Bad, I'm Nation-Wide", came on.
No shit!
Well, what can I say... To quote Hammer... "You can't touch this!"
The colony tried to slip a good
one past me, but, as has always been the
case, it blew-up in their face! Keep your eyes on my Indigenous Awakening elist,
as I chronicle the awakening of the Indigenous right!
Yeah, I feel good...
After my Oct 10 Immigration hearing, the machine was pretty angry with yours truly. So, on
Oct 30, they figured they'd be able to lock me up following my trial. However, the solidarity exhibited by my supporters across
the country forced them to reconsider! So, the buggers stayed the bogus Failure To Appear charge & "found" me
not
guilty of criminal intent regarding the Fraudulent Use of a Social
Insurance Number. The media is confused as to why I
don't feel happy
with the outcome of my trial though...
I arrived at the courthouse to find a small rally outside,
both Indian &
non-Indian supporters. The Raging Grannys had even written a song for me!
CBC filmed the singing
of the song. Then I was informed about the
increased security in the court house. Five cops with metal detectors
were
standing in the doorway. Cops were all over the building, every
floor. (Note: prime time for B & Es, speeding, etc.,
will be whenever
I'm in court, as there'll be no cops anywhere else in the city!)
They changed courtrooms on me
too, but anyone could see my kids playing
outside courtroom #7.
As soon as the trial began, I saw that the preceedings
had already been
scripted. A lawyer for the city appeared & asked the judge to dismiss
the 3 witnesses I supeoned
from the Regina Police Department. I stood up
& explained that they were relevant to my proving that the Failure To
Appear charge was not legitimate & that this court was corrupt &
involved in a conspiracy against me. The
judge dismissed them anyway, of
course, & threatened to charge me with contempt if I continued to say
that his
court was corrupt.
I had 2 witnesses left, the judge dismissed them both later on.
Most of the questions I
asked government witnesses were dismissed by the
judge because he claimed that they were either of racial or political
nature. I responded repeatedly, that this whole case was
racially-motivated, & that it has been political from
the start. At one
point, I offered to show the judge my list of questions, so that he
could just show me which questions
he was going to allow me to ask. He
didn't respond.
I was prevented from showing all the discrepencies in government
evidence; these papers were entered as evidence, yet I was not allowed
to attack certain discrepencies in some documents,
as well as the
authenticity of others.
On October 10, white government reps stated that I was an American
citizen.
Then, today, a white government rep stated that I was a
Canadian citizen. For 40 years neither of them wanted me, now
they both
do! The judge said, I know that you say you are not a Canadian citizen,
but I say that you are. Fuck you.
He also, more than once, said that he realized I refuse to accept the
authority of Canada, but that it was a given.
I argued that point each
time. He mentioned international law supporting Canada's sovereignty, I
mentioned international
law disputing Canada's sovereignty.
Most of this morning's debate was between the judge & myself, very
little
between me & government witnesses. When I was asked to state my
name, for the record, I stated my real name, Sunkmanitu
tanka Isnala
Najin. I further explained that population density does not negate fact;
just because they out-number
me, that does not erase the fact that until
the Lakota nation consents to white occupation in this area, they are
illegal
tresspassers.
The judge ruled that I have the right to work in Canada... Whopee, the
Great White Mother said I
can feed my own children in my own land! Yet,
I still do not have a Social Insurance Number, so his statement does not
mean shit. It's not his decision to make anyway!
So, the charges against me have been dropped, why am I pissed??
I
was robbed of the chance to prove Canada's conspiracy.
The information above relates not only to my trial on October 30, but
likewise to the overall practise of racial profiling by courts & police against Indians throughout our land. The issue
of inherent Indigenous rights, treaties, & human rights further come into play here! The colony of canada has long used
their institutions to silence Native freedom fighters. These genocidal practices will continue until more Indigenous
people stand up for our rights, & until non-Indigenous supporters demand honesty & integrity in return for their tax
dollars!
Demand an end to racism & oppression!
It's been more than a year since Canada's supposed "deadline" for me to get
out of "THEIR" country! When my wife went to the Citizenship and Immigration Canada office here in Regina, on Oct. 26th, 2001, to
get a copy of the Immigration Act section they were using to "deport" me, Senior Immigration Officer Al Johns told her that
they were just as stressed out about this as we are!! Oh my God... I am so sorry to cause such undue suffering for that fine
branch of honest Canadian government!
In the inquiry on Sept. 20th, 2001, agent Lozinski told me that my file
consisted of one single page of paper, when my wife went to agent Johns' office, he had a large file on me. Apparently, Lozinski
lied when I asked him for a copy of everything they had. I wonder if they realize that if they touch me, they'll be creating
an international incident? And, as soon as I'm able, I'll sue them in the appropriate court. Of course, as arrogant as these
Canadians are, they probably still don't realize what they're doing! The media coverage no doubt has had its effect on things
as well. More & more people across this country, & all over the world, are coming together in solidarity to bring
an end to the holocaust of the Americas!

Due to the constant problems with my original ICQ site, I've moved much of the material from that site to this one. (For
example, every time I have a "run-in" with Citizenship and Immigration Canada, the ICQ site goes offline for several days.)
It is available from time to time however, & clicking on the Kokopelli icon above will bring that site up, when it's accessable.
This site has more recent material however.

"What treaty that the whiteman ever made with us have they kept? Not one. When I was a boy the Lakota owned the
world, the sun rose and set on their land; they sent ten thousand men to battle. Where are the warriors today? Who slew them? Where are our lands? Who owns them? ... What law have I broken? Is it wrong for me to love my
own? Is it wicked for me because my skin is red? Because I am a Lakota, because I was born where my father lived; because
I would die for my people and my country?" - Tatanka Iyotaka (Sitting Bison Bull) 1877
