MESSAGE: The police have informed the media, members of which have informed me, that the police intend to overcome resistance with force against my clients at Gustafson Lake commencing tomorrow morning, unless prior to then the clients capitulate unconditionally. The police have cut telephone communications to my clients. The police have refused to allow my agents to deliver written lawyer-client communications from me to my clients. My advice remains as expressed in the fax sent earlier today to my agent for communication to my clients.

MESSAGE:

The Sundancers at Gustafson Lake have one demand:

THAT THE PETITION DATED JANUARY 3, 1995 BE ADDRESSED PUBLICLY BY AN INDEPENDENT AND IMPARTIAL THIRD PARTY TRIBUNAL, ONE THAT IS NEITHER CANADIAN NOR INDIAN, SUCH AS THE SPECIAL CONSTITUTIONAL COUR ESTABLISHED BY QUEEN ANN AT THE REQUEST OF THE MOHEGAN INDIANS T WHICH COURT THE PETITION IS ADDRESSED:

(a) Is the popular assumption that the Canadian courts and police have jurisdiction legal?

(b) *OR* IS THAT ASSUMPTION CRIMINALLY TREASONABLE, FRAUDULENT AND COMPLICITOUS IN THE GENOCIDE OF THE ABORIGINAL PEOPLES OF CANADA AS ALLEGED IN THE PETITION?
