Subject: From Pierre George Concerning "Ipperwash" Stoney Point
Concerning Ipperwash: Aazhoodena Territory is the correct name and the
land is also known as Stoney Point. In 1992 the Standing Committee on
Aboriginal Affairs stated that in order to rectify a serious injustice done
to the Stoney Point People the land must be returned to them. To me,
Pierre George, Aazhoodena is my ancestral home, my inheritance. This
includes the sacred burial grounds in the park. The community should and
must be restored as it was prior to 1937.
Jane Stewart states: That the federal government has the authority to call
for public inquiries into matters within federal jurisdiction -- hence, the
elected band council and chief fall under this jurisdiction.
I hereby enter these three paragraphs taken from the Ontario Provincial
Police logs pertaining to the events leading up to the murder of my brother
Dudley. They concern the actions of the elected chief and band council of
Kettle Point (also known as Kettle and Stoney Point):
[Pg.19] "08.18: Asked him (Tom Bressette) to notify his
counselors, he and counselors don't support the action of the natives, he
feels they should be dealt with."
[Pg.21] "Inspector Carson advises that Tom Bressette agrees with what
we are doing."
[Pg.24] "09.25: meeting: John Carson advises that Tom Bressette's on
board, agrees, thinks they are criminals."
These are clear indicators of gross misconduct at the very least. I hereby
state that these people have played a major role in the paramilitary
assaults on the peoples of Aazhoodena-Stoney Point, which resulted in the
death of Dudley. The Stoney Point People were there defending the sacred
burial grounds in the park.
A full public inquiry is needed to expose the acquisition of these
particular lands. I myself wouldn't even dream of selling my grandfathers'
and grandmothers' graves. So it is up to Jane Stewart to live up to her
statement.
The theft of our territory has never stopped, it has now just taken the
form of the Agreement in Principle. It is backed by one of the signers,
namely chief Norman Shawnoo, who also is one of the counselors who
advocated that the natives should be "dealt" with. (Sept 6, 1995)
So, all is not well in Aazhoodena as Jane Stewart seems to write. The
Kettle Point band council of the day, Sept/95, and chief Tom Bressette are
corrupt. The Agreement in Principle moves toward signing away our
territory thereby giving Kettle Point the so-called power to enforce the
police to move against us. These police being the Anishnabek Police
Services who are backed by the Ontario Provincial Police, the same police
who murdered my brother Dudley George. The same police who then produced
racist and appalling memorabilia commemorating the killing of Dudley. (Team
Ipperwash =9195)
The truth shall prevail!
In the Spirit of Dudley,
Pierre George
Aazhoodena-Stoney Point
PS: Please post this wherever you like.
PPS: Please phone Jane Stewart or Indian Affairs to push for a federal
inquiry into Tom Bressette and council's activities. Jane Stewart states

provincial officials. But elected band councils etc fall under federal
jurisdiction.
