En rebaptisant le lac Ontario, Donald Trump défie l’héritage de George Washington

«Conclu en 1794 sous la présidence de George Washington, le traité de Canandaigua mentionnait expressément Lake Ontario pour délimiter les terres reconnues à la Nation Sénéca et promettait aux Six Nations haudenosaunee une « paix et une amitié perpétuelles ».»

By renaming Lake Ontario, Donald Trump undermines the legacy of George Washington

Signed in 1794 under the Presidency of George Washington, the Treaty of Canandaigua expressly uses Lake Ontario to describe the borders of the land recognized as belonging to the Seneca Nation and promises the Haudenosaunee Six Nations "perpetual peace and friendship."

"As soon as a single #Palestinian activist showed up at an anti-#DakotaAccessPipeline camp on the edge of the Standing Rock reservation in 2016, intelligence analysts for the mercenary security firm #TigerSwan were on alert.

"El-Zabri, the Palestinian activist surveilled at Standing Rock, was among 79 people arrested this week while protesting at the #UniversityOfTexas at #Austin. 'It really felt like the same as Standing Rock, when we were facing the police,' he said.

"''There was a whole army that looked like it was at war in #RiotGear. They eventually used #TearGas and #PepperSpray.'

"'They're afraid of what we have to say and the people that we can touch,' said Cornell senior Yanenowi Logan, who is Deer Clan from the #SenecaNation and has been negotiating with campus administrators.

"Logan said that by standing up for Gazans, she and other Native organizers are also standing up for themselves. 'We want to be able to show them that, hey, we're still here,' she said. 'You can try to kill us. You can burn our crops. You can do whatever you want to do, but we're still going to persist.'"
