Uhuru to the Iroquois Nation and Nationals Lacrosse team,
We just wanted to pass on the articles written to show our solidarity. On behalf of the African Socialist International and the African People's Solidarity Committee, we support the Iroquois Nation's right to sovereignty on stolen land they call america and canada. We recognize your passports. Here are the the links below: http://uhurunews.com/story?resource_name=indigenous-iroquois-refuse-to-use-u-s-passports-rejected-entry-into-britain http://uhurunews.com/story?resource_name=iroquois-nation-protects-sovereignty-britian-denies-entry Self-Determination to Indigenous and all colonized people! Uhuru, Johann

You need JavaScript enabled to view it > To whom it may concern: I am sending this email to express the support of the Winnemem Wintu Tribe for the Iroquois National Lacrosse Team clearance "to leave and return to participate in the World Lacrosse Championships in Manchester, England" , under their own tribal passports.
As we saw and heard during the recent discussions on the US adoption of the UN Declaration
for the Rights of Indigenous Peoples hosted by the State Department this past week in
Washington DC, it is exactly for the rights of tribal people to establish their own rules and
regulations of self governance that must be adhered to by the United States. At the close of
the meetings we all who attended, hoped that the US would honor the documents and
agreements that have been in place with the native peoples of this land: in this case the more
than thirty year history of Iroquois people and others of the six nations who have their own
tribally issued passports. The current effort to stop the team from traveling appears to this
observer as an attempt to force tribal people to submit to the United States and carry the
enhanced ID cards spoken of in the NGO discussion last Thursday rather than what we deem
necessary and appropriate as sovereigns.
I urge the White House and State Department to help resolve this issue quickly. The world is
once again watching how the US treats Indigenous People and I hope that this time they have
reason to applaud the actions of the State rather than jeering our country as has been the
case in this recent past.
Respectfully
-- Mark Franco Headman 14840 Bear Mountain Road Redding, CA 96003 530-275-2737 voice 530-275-4193 fax 530-510-0944 mobile www.winnememwintu.us Honor the Sanctity of All Creation - Water is Sacred Percy,
Australia fully supports the Iroquois Nationals endeavours to travel to Manchester on their Haudenosaunee (Iroquois) passports and hopes that the difficulties are overcome quickly. The participation of the Iroquois Nationals at this event is highly anticipated.
Australia wishes your way cleared to ensure that you reach Manchester as planned.
Regards,
Viv
