A Voice from the Eastern Door

Letter to the editor

Letter to the Editor:

She:kon. I am writing to take note of the recent Indian Time article, “United States Claims Underlying Title to Islands.”

This information was made available to readers through the efforts of one Akwesasronon who attended the Land Claims hearing before US Magistrate Cooney in June, and elected to share the information with everyone who did not attend the proceeding. That individual is James W. Ransom and his diligent efforts deserve recognition.

In regards to the issue of the “underlying title” claim by the United States, the Kanienkehaka homeland of Kanienke was never sold, offered for sale, or generally given away with the consent of any Onkwehonwe.

Sincerely

Andy Kader
