We have witnessed the corruption of young people by these businesses in all Haudenosaunee territories. Money and jobs seem to be the criteria for individuals while huge personal fortunes are accrued by the partnerships of the gambling casinos without accounting to the people or the governing bodies of the Haudenosaunee territories. The Two Row wampum is specific in its directives and instruction to our people. The great values of our Nations are being threatened. The value of respect for the rights of others is being trampled on by these aggressive enterprises.
Force of arms appears to be a factor.
The businesses have created mercenaries of some of our people. These businesses have corrupted our people and we are appalled at the Longhouse people who have become part of these activities. They have thrown aside the values of our ancient confederacy for personal gain. It is inappropriate and misleading to designate oneself as a sovereign force for the people without the consent of the people. The warrior society is a self designated entity.
