Yakowennahskats Media MEDIA MADE BY ONKWEHON:WE WE ARE NOT BREAKING NEWS; we're balancing it. There is a place for everyone! Nya: wen

Yakowennahskats is a platform that promotes a balanced approach to the natural world within a matrilineal society. We endeavour to elevate and uplift Onkwehonwe points of view while establishing a consistent truth within our matters. The idea was born from recognizing the importance of individuals within the Rotinonhsyonni Nations that form the confederacy. We Understand that non-indigenous govern

ments, legal frameworks, and news platforms severely underestimate our importance and even choose to invalidate our experiences within Onkwehonweneha and governance


The time has never been more opportune to provide and capture our stories and what's important to us in a way we want to tell them. Onkwehonwe Grassroots journalist should be the direct source for community news

It became apparent that now was the time to flood social media with Grassroots Onkwehonwe platforms and address the lack of understanding between Onkwehonwe as a journalist reporting on actions and events while being present as a community member. We have different social structures and governance that are little understood even after all this time. Yakowennahskats Media was created with the intent to speak these and other truths.

Here is Karl Dockstader talking about the 98th annual border crossing celebration, which is taking place today.

Interesting tidbit about the RCMP crossing the border in the 1920s to intimidate some of the founding members of the Indian Defense League of America.

If Mark Carney‘s recent announcement of austerity measures hasn’t surprised you, take a look and see what’s already in motion to make this latest announcement a nightmare for Onkwehonwe.

Indigenous Services Canada faces $7B in cuts by 2028, even as its report warns:

🔻 28 Indigenous communities lack clean water
🔻 209K+ kids depend on Jordan’s Principle
🔻 Infrastructure gaps threaten safety

The government’s 15% austerity targets ISC’s budget after $5B in existing reductions. Military spending ↑ is $87B.

These cuts aren’t savings—they’re breaking promises to boost military prowess. If you haven't already done so, now is the time to develop community sufficiency strategies that reduce reliance on programs that will expire and not be renewed!

📰📌Ontario’s Bill 5 isn’t just "red tape reduction," it’s a constitutional crisis!! 🔍

Curated by letting the province override Onkwehonwe consultation, environmental laws, and heritage site protections, but now 9 First Nations are fighting it in court.

Yet within communities, critical questions arise: Is this challenge reinforcing the band council system’s power to negotiate land surrenders?

Many grassroots activists see that our territory isn’t negotiable, and the duty to consult distracts from sovereignty.

Respect can’t be legislated while Ontario pushes mining in places like the Ring of Fire or development in places like Port Dover or Brantford without consent.

The legal battle matters — but so does the unwavering stance:
