And, interestingly enough Haudenosaunee oral history is being played out as part of SNEC\u2019s claim to land rights at Grand River. The testimony itself is revealing since all of it is based on a time period prior to the existence of the elected council, a political machinery imposed by the Canadian government, you remember them, the guys they are actually fighting in court. So, it shouldn\u2019t come as any surprise when community members become confused about who\u2019s history is being played out, who the characters are and why SNEC uses a political history that political system cannot call its own. Of course, it is a lot simpler for Canada and Ontario to take on SNEC. SNEC"}
