they try and separate it from the Longhouse,

with the Mohawk on it.
164
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
That's one flag,
165
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
but the original Mohawk flag has a man and a
woman, this is what it's supposed to be right?
166
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
It's not a male-dominated movement.
167
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
It' the women who have a big part
to play in this movement.
168
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
And you hear the media talk about "well the warriors are hiding behind the women."
169
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
First of all, you don't tell a Mohawk woman what
to do, y'know, she won't take it from you.
170
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
She'll do what she wants to do.
171
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
And that's what... we've known that, we had that wisdom to say that women have their place,
172
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
and they have a right to do what they're doing,
and have a right to take part in everything.
173
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
So then in 1990 when you seen the warriors there, and the women were approaching the police,
174
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
tellin them y'know that they have to move,
you have to go,
175
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
what theyre doing is... they're not...
the men are not hiding behind the women.
176
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
The women are actually protecting our adversaries,
they're protecting them from us.
177
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
It's their duty and their role,
to first put that olive branch, right?
178
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Bring out that laurel, here, lets discuss this,
let's negotiate,
179
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
and they refused to negotiate with us,
180
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
so then, y'know, the final step is the women,
the women pull back and the men take over.
181
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
And this is the thing, it's a big decision to make.
182
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
In the traditional world, the way we look at it as Kanien’kehá:ka people, which is Mohawk,
183
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Kanien’kehá:ka people, it's the women who are in charge of warfare,
184
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
it's the women who call the shots, it's the women
who decide that men will go to war,
185
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
not men, it's not a male decision.
186
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Women will say to the men "now you can go to war,
i'll bury the fire, put out the flames,
187
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
I put out the hearth, you can't come home to the hearth, there's nothign here,
188
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
"you have to go out and fight"
189
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
That's a woman's decision.
190
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
[ STIMULATOR ] And can you explain
what the Longhouse is?
191
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
[ CLIFTON ] OK the Longhouse is, it's basically
what we call ourselves,
192
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
um, it's based on a traditional dwelling
that we used to live in,
193
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
which is an elongated family dwelling.
194
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
... a matrilocal dwelling, where the clan would live.
195
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
In our society, our lineage and descent
goes through the women,
196
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
so it would be the woman's, the matriarch's house,
197
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
which is long, with many fires for different families,
198
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
So you have a nuclear family of a mother, a father
or husband, and their child,
199
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
they'd be a family, and each of these families
would share a hearth with another one.
200
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
So it'd be an elongated house.
201
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
So the Confederacy of Iroquois Nations
202
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
we would call it our Haudenosaunee in Mohawk,
or Onandaga as Haudenosaunee,
203
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
which literally means The People of The Longhouse.
204
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
And this is a symbol of what we use
as a symbol of our people.
205
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
If you look on the spiritual and political end of it,
206
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
the Longhouse is the structure that was used
to meet and have ceremonies in.
207
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
So our political structures would be
in the Longhouse,
208
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
and our religious ceremonies would be
in the Longhouse.
209
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
So you hear the pan term "Longhouse",
Longhouse people,
210
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
you hear Iroquois people saying this often.
211
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
[ STIMULATOR ] I've heard peeps say that
there's similarities
212
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
between anarchists and some traditional cultures,
what the fuck?
213
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Yeah, as anarchists I think it's a natural thing,
214
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
for Haudenosaunee people to be anarchists.
215
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
I always liked the, one of the quotes, I don't know
what his name was,
216
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
maybe you could find it and research, he's a Jesuit,
217
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
who wrote about Haudenosaunee people,
and Mohawks in particular,
218
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
and I love what he said when he said
219
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
"Each and every one of them are sovereign
unto themselves,
220
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
they follow no one
and they take orders from no one."
221
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
So that, to me, speaks volumes
about being an anarchist,
222
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
you are sovereign unto yourself,
223
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
you know, you have no king,
you have no masters.
224
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Our people, historically, did what they wanted,
when they wanted and how they wanted,
225
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
both the men and the women.
