I Will Accept The Indian Premise

That they are beyond Canadian law if they will accept my premise that that are home grown terrorists and as such should not be offered any protection under Canadian law when it comes to national security.

Natives call for release of 'political prisoner'

Canadian Press

TORONTO — A Six Nations protester arrested during the ongoing aboriginal occupation in Caledonia, Ont., is a "political prisoner'' who remains in jail to deter other aboriginals from standing up for their land rights, demonstrators protesting his incarceration said Monday.

A group of about 30 protesters demonstrated outside the attorney general's office in Toronto to demand the release of Trevor Miller. The 31-year-old was jailed in August, accused of assaulting two members of a television crew near the occupied former housing development site in Caledonia.

But to protester Pat Houlley, Miller is an aboriginal who was standing up for his community.

"He was doing what any Mohawk man should do in this circumstance,'' said Houlley, who came from Six Nations in New York state. "When a Mohawk man was called to protect the women and children and the territory, he answered that call.''

Miller should never have been charged, Houlley said, because he isn't subject to Canadian law. Aboriginals have maintained their traditional way of life and have never accepted the country's law on their land, he said.

"We've never abandoned our traditional government nor been conquered by any war,'' Houlley said. "He is being held as a hostage, a political prisoner.''
