Almost six years and counting from the date the helicopters the tanks, APC's and Police came and left our territory They came armed to kill us to show us Mohawks how to live they wanted us to believe them to submit to their ways but as a people, determined to live we did not submit, to their ways Our people stood up, armed and fought we fought for our mother, our people, our dignity it was our mother who we cared about not bingo, not cigarettes, not anything else but the media made it seem so as the nation came together The little green men, scared to death of us as we were willing to die, to keep out mother we put our lives on the line, had a cause the men in green only had orders they had no cause, no truth, no dignity only commanding orders, and the use of machines The Mohawk, first time in a century showed serious power and determination will to be the strongest people defending its mother, and our people As for the tiny Nation we are we never asked for war, at all nor did we ask to have our land taken as the use of the gun was the only means left Though I hope this never happens again because surely people will die October 22, 1995 1:42am ©1995
