About the author

My name is Jason (Rotisken'rakehte) Arbour, Appointed Chief and Legal Representative of Kana:tso Kaniengehaga First Nation. In 1903 my family/band was disbanded from our Indian resserve and place of origin at Gatineau, Quebec. To date, I have been chosen to raise awareness and respectfully represent our community's legal interest of re-establish our historical rights to our traditional territory at the Chaudiere Falls.

I am indigenous to the Ottawa-Hull region of Canada. I was born and raised in Ottawa and I am happily maried with five boys and one grandaughter.

What should one do when they are cheated on in a relationship? Some may stay in the relationship and pretend that they are not being deceived while others may disengage and hold on to their dignity.

My name is Jason Rotisken:rakehte Arbour, I have been appointed Chief and legal representative for the Kanatso:rono. I am writing this article to update people on the current Kana:tso/Crown Indigenous relationship.

Some of Unpublished readers are aware of our family's assertion and have been following the progression of advancing our historical facts and Indigenous law in Canada. Most people in Canada are still ignorant of the historical facts regarding the unceded Indigenous land in the Canadian capital region. This is mainly due to a campaign by this government and its allies to silence our legacy.

I have attached a summary statement of our evidence below, to help the reader better comprehend our current Indigenous Affair and the genocide that continues to take place in the Nation's capital.

Please know that I will never back down from my responsibility to my ancestors, my family and my descendants, to make the truth of what happened to us known.
