I am a true Onondaga born through my Onondaga mother and matrilineal Onondaga ancestral grandmothers. I am enrolled at Onondaga Nation.
I support our Constitution. I will support our Onondaga government under the terms of impeccable honest leadership embraced by the power of the Onondaga people. True Onondagas are selected by Onondaga people only and are the official Onondaga representatives for negotiations with the United States, State of New York and any other governments, upon the approval of the Onondaga people.
I support our right of self-determination and the needs of all our Onondaga
people. I support all our enrolled Onondaga’s rights to participate and
our voices heard in all Onondaga governmental issues.
All legal transactions must have the approval of the empowered Onondaga people.
In accordance with the GREAT LAW OF PEACE, I cannot accept or recognize the following non-Onondagas whose mothers are enrolled in other nations; Irving Powless Jr., a Mohawk, Kingsley Lyons, a Seneca and Oren Lyons Jr. a Seneca. These people are not of true Onondaga matrilineal descent and must be removed from our Onondaga Council. They are not spokesmen or chiefs of the Onondaga Nation.
In accordance with the GREAT LAW OF PEACE;
There are no adoptions within the Five Nations of Iroquois Sisters and Brothers.
There is no borrowing clans or holding clans for other clans. Non-Onondagas
cannot hold Onondaga Titles, official seats or own land. There are Onondagas
who are qualified and have the right to serve.
This Letter of Support is true. I am at least eighteen years old. I freely, voluntarily and without duress sign this document by the Onondaga people.
