i'll never belief white ppl can be non-racist.I have tried to make myself beleive whites as non-racist. BUT WHITE RACISM IS EVERYWHERE!!!!!!!!!!fuck all you cock sucking fuckers!!!!!! I'll live knowing whites as ALWAYS RACIST!!!!NOTHING WILL EVER CHANGE THAT BELIEF<SO FUCK YOUS ALL!!

[link200312]

@interstellarwonder i'm white and not racist what so ever.... seriously it is very ignorant to say that

[interstellarwonder]

@link200312 it's very ignorant of you to say i'm ignorant.i have factual proof for my outlandish look on life.

[link200312]

@interstellarwonder word... regardless im not racist making you wrong

[interstellarwonder]

@link200312 okay i accept your comment, maybe my statement is false, who knows.

There must be a way to accommodate the Native people . Don't forget it was there land first.

It is their land still. However, the bridge is not their bridge.

They've decided to play games with Canada Border Patrol resulting in the closure of that checkpoint and the subsequent closure of the U.S. checkpoint. Thus, there is no need to pay to keep the bridge open just for these assholes.

Let them build a fucking canoe and cross the waterway the same way as their ancestors.

[TheShangtai]

@ForTheDefense76 You need to learn that everything comes from the land.

[thesnarkasticone]

Shoulda tried to resort this out with legal battles, not screwing with defined borders....remember Quebec, Mohawk, Cree, Ojibwa and many many more are all what? Yes Nation's within a Nation. End of Story.

[newc9999]

give the island to the US and get ride of the financial/security headache.

[efherne]

@newc9999 ....that's all corporate/political 'white' america does...TAKE...steal....kill...­destroy....that's all they know--this land will NOT be taken!....ever--and that is then end of it

[MooseheadDrinker]

Indians lost the war with the whites.

Therefore whites should call the shots. Indians should be quite.

[interstellarwonder]

@MooseheadDrinker your a stupid fuck

[mcaddicts]

Just let them across its not like they have drugs or are terrorist, they are bringing home their dead. The Mohawks are allowed to cross freely under old treaties that should be respected.

[anngirl12]

we need to fight to get are land back

[WejkapenikiaqEpit]

YEE!

[MrsProudMohawk]

How can you have so much hate for people you don't even know, your mom never taught you respect? Go back to Europe you white surpremisist!

[mastercheif117yeahhh]

@MrsProudMohawk what is the problem with being white i dont support white power dose that make me bad no so... you dont need to go crazy everytime someone makes a comment some of them are black i aint racist i just say!! 

thumbs up if you arent rasict

[jjpeterson1]

@MrsProudMohawk you people just blame whites for everything, that was a 100 yrs ago, I have every right to be here. Maybe your people needs to learn about respect more.

[interstellarwonder]

@jjpeterson1 fuck you 

[leadhorsechoctaw]

great video but im a little different. i wouldnt have asked to walk on my own lands.. i dont ask them at all, for i know whos land im walking on and who's blood runs through my veins.. its the blood of the original people! our people!

[camlax25]

To thedrummer9999 ur tax dollars have no fuckin connection to our videos we are able to create. in fact most of our community is not on welfare. maybe you should educate ur dumb fuckin ass before making such comments. and also to treble141 my advice to you is to learn the facts before making comments. rationally its safer however the some border agents have been abusive to the law and our treaties and we dont trust them with guns from issues of the past.

[colombiano4420]

@camlax25 so they cannot move  from there? how is that

[treble141]

your A dumbass, our tax dollars go to paying all your shit!! You dont pay tax, so when you go see the doctor, who do you think pays for that you fucking retard!?! your kids go to university and college for FREE, thats my tax money at work. all for something that happened 400 years ago!! its over

[TheMexicanIndian66]

@treble141 well u don't even know our people we were here first!!! i would like to see u say that to my fuckin face!!! thumbs up if u agree

[thedrummer9999]

glad to see my tax dollars support your welfare and allow you to make such high quality films.

[interstellarwonder]

@thedrummer9999 is a racist scumbag

[treble141]

when you think about it rationally, it is kind of your own fault... border agents + guns equals safety!, how is that hard to understand?

[colombiano4420]

@treble141 you are in 1 grade i know at your age is hard to clean your own ass

[treble141]

what does grade one have to do with anything dumbass?? its the natives that are immature!

[colombiano4420]

@treble141 i said for you way to thing is so  dummb that;s why most of the world wate the states

[colombiano4420]

@treble141 i mean hate

[skweegie]

why dont you stop being a a little bitch trying to be a tough guy talkin shit on a memorial video. you spineless little bastard.

[c4ptncanuck]

How about you go to your reserve and be quiet.

[skweegie]

hows about you become an opp officer, then ill shoot your obnoxious ass.

[c4ptncanuck]

How about you go have some beer and beat your wife. It'll cheer you up for your tobacco contraband.

[katsitsiaientos]

c4ptnupchuck...ur wife is in my prayers because everytime i see ur comments trying to spew racial comments u always talk about beating ur wife. now for u to try this slanderous campaign on a video that was made to honor and respect a veteran shows exactly how limited ur mentality is. i truly do feel pity for u but more so for ur poor wife. walk in peace

[c4ptncanuck]

honor and respect a veteran? Maybe in your crazy head. This video is about troubling public order in CANADA, not mohawk land or some other shit like that. God bless the CBSA and I hope they keep setting you straight you little domestic violence alcoholics.

[treble141]

YESS! c4ptncanuk, your right!

[skweegie]

our drug trafficers use the river to smuggle. theres no need to point 9mm handguns at old ass ladies wanting their timmies. no need for a 9mm for a scholl bus ful of kids. maybe they need a 9 mm so they can feel content with the small dicks they have.

[mohawkwarrior6666]

thnx for pointing that out. about the river.

[ray88201]

Why not try to get the few in your proud people to stop disgracing the Mohawk tribe, and stop smuggling drugs and other illegal contraband out of your great land. Then there wouldn't be a need for such a response to a war hero returning home. You all were upset because the Canadian Customs wanted to arm their officers. Which is not unfair considering their life is at risk due to these drug trafficers. You are a strong people and a proud people it is a shame to be disgraced but such people!

[BaracuteyTaino]

I am sad in my heart to say farewell to my friend and brother David. I became his friend thru his loving wife Trudie and borhter because we both were with the Special Forces in Nam. You have done a beautiful job with this video and David would say so also.  May the Creator bless you and the Akwesasne people. Hector "Baracutey"Gonzalez United Confederation of Taino Peolpe.

[SarahRosehawk]

I am saddened by the loss of another Veteran in the us. war. My heart is Glad however for the Victory of the Iroquois/ Mohawk Community over the us/canadian totalitarianism garbage that thinks they "own" a chunk of Native Land..Conus & canada & South America..Blessing & Prayers to ALL Native Peoples and may They have Victory in All ways!

[matoakae]

Thank you, Jerry, for this powerful and empowering video. It so honors Dave Richmond and his family in the best way - a way that creates a path for others. Thank you to everyone involved in this. Well done, Dave. Peace to you and your family. Matoaka

[cooday]

In solidarity ...

Jerry -

Thank you for creating this and for honoring my father. He always spoke highly of you and your father. I am very grateful and indebted to everyone who did so much to fight for my father and his successful crossing.

Lance

[adcruise]

Thank you for documenting this Jerry. It was a sad day and a good day. In these fearful times the authorities can often over react in their efforts to protect... but on this day they displayed common sense and did the right thing. Wish I could have been there... Dave will be missed

[NeaRocks1]

Nia:wen, Jerry. My family appreciates this video. It was a proud day for my grandfather, our family and the Akwesasne people.
