The Previous words posted, are excerpts from Louis Karoniaktajeh Hall’s writings.
These are words I believe in with every fiber of my being.
The 10 Commandments that we have posted, I believe to be true. As long as I live and breathe, I will continue to fight to bring the Iroquois Confederacy back together, stronger than it ever was.
I also believe that there are a lot more people out there in other Nations looking for the same freedom.
Now is the time we need to come together as Equals in ONE voice, as ONE Confederacy of a United Nation, a REAL UNITED NATIONS.
Then OUR voice will be too big for them to conquer and divide us further, before we vanish from the history books.
I am proud of whom I am, Ongwehonwe, and do not ever wish to become a government slave. We never gave them the right to rule over us on our own lands, yet they continue to force us off them, and send us to jail for protecting them.
The sooner we come together, the more of us there will be.
I would like to thank my Sister, Okwarakon, who I give permission to publish my writings on the web. I consider her and her husband my family, and I am forever indebted to them for all their help and support they have given to me and my family.
We the Ongwehonwe people, follow our Eagle Condor Prophesies.
The time of OUR Prophesies is here.
I know in my heart that our traditional people, of ALL nations on Turtle Island, have the same Prophesies as Ours.
The time has come for our Eagle Brothers to take our stand.
We invite all our brothers and sisters to join with us before all is destroyed and lost forever.

Mohawk 10 Commandments
Mohawk 10 Commandments
Be brave and fearless, as there can be no peace on earth for those who fear.
Be strong, in this hard cruel world, only the strong may know peace and happiness. To be weak is to invite aggression, oppression, tyranny, misery and woe.
Fight for your rights, for only those who fight for it can achieve human rights and respect. There is a right and a wrong way to fight. Always propose to fight in a clever way for he who fights in a clever way is equal to a thousand men.
Maintain a strong national independence and sovereignty under the Great Law of Peace-Gayanerekowa, and let your slogan be Peace, Righteousness and power for not one of these is possible without the other two. Let NO power abolish your nation.
Maintain your own National Initiative and let no other nation control your destiny. Respect Nature’s First law of self preservation and stop any traitor seeking to destroy you and your people, for any nation which ignores this law stands condemned to extinction
Develop the Spirit of Cooperation that your nations can rely completely on its own efforts. To become a competitive state is to create tensions, strife, panic, frenzy, fear, hate, bigotry, weakness and divisions
Think right so that you shall do right and be right for only the purely justice minded can achieve peace and happiness for all
Respect the rights of others that your own rights may be respected. These rights include the right to live and be free, the right to a nationality, territory, government, possessions, freedom of speech, to think and believe as one sees fit, human rights and to the pursuit of peace and happiness
Acquire wisdom and knowledge of the world for only understanding among the people will eliminate wars. Let there be a special course of study on the subject of devising a proper moral government and that people be trained to operate this very important device to ensure the peace and happiness of mankind. That a study be included to produce a most trustworthy economic system to eliminate poverty, misery and wretchedness. Let only those who pass a most rigid test on the subjects of government and economic knowledge be allowed to run governments and nations.
Acquire advanced human relationships….Human birth is an act of nature and all humanity is equally subject to natures law of death. No one has the right of lordship over others. The more able only have the right to help those less able: the appointed leaders of governments only have the right to be the voice and will of the people, that all may share the bounties of nature and know peace and happiness.

We are all one.................
We are going to put this to rest and survive for OUR future generations.
Is it not time to come together, in a good mind and heart, talk face to face and belly to belly?
The way our ancestors did, without the GOVERNMENTS agencies, is that what we are all searching for?
What everyone agrees on, the TWO ROW WAMPUM...issued by The Haudenosaunee People known as the Iroquois Confederacy(Six Nations) which ALREADY has been recognized with Territory's, means a lot in this process. It is NOT about POWER or anything else, that’s the way others behave, not us the ORIGINAL PEOPLES.
Two Row
This belt symbolizes the agreement and conditions under which the Haudenosaunee welcomed white people to this land.
"You say that you are our father and son, but like brothers"
This Wampum confirms our words.
These Two Rows will symbolize two paths or two vessels, travelling down the same river together.
One, a birch bark canoe, will be be for the Indian people, their laws, their customs and their ways.
The other, a ship, will be for their laws, their customs and their ways.
The two shall travel the river together but in their own vessel.
Neither shall outpace, nor interfere with the others affairs, remaining separate and parallel forever,
That is as long as the grass grows the rivers flow and the sun shines, Everlasting.
Let's work together...these GOVERNMENTS have tried to Divide and Conquer us ORIGINAL PEOPLES. Again, this is NOT about whom holds more power. If we are to live within our spiritually, and our Great Law accordingly....we are ALL equal.
The sooner we take out their money, power, religion and politics and get back to OUR systems, which have worked for thousands of years, not hundreds like theirs that haven't worked....the sooner we can all get back to living in Love, Unity, and Peace. In that order is the only way now for ALL our Future Generations.

Chief Hiawatha quoting Dekaniwah, speaking to the Iroquois;
“We bind ourselves together by taking hold of each other’s hands so firmly and forming a circle so strong that if a tree should fall upon it, it could not shake nor break it, so that our people and grandchildren shall remain in the circle in security, peace and happiness.”
In coordination with the Constitution of the Iroquois Nations 1776
Info snippet: Did you know that…Recent archaeological studies have suggested the Iroquois Confederacy was formed around August 31, 1142, based on a coinciding solar eclipse!
