@MCCQuebec: Haida Nation v. BC gives Mohawk Mothers a right to a process, not to a result. So, McGill has to show that they are "consulting" but they dont have to listen to demands. They claim that Mohawk Mothers don't represent Mohawks and don't have a right to be consulted.

Court is adjourned. The case continues tomorrow @ 9am. Today we witnessed @mcgillu & Québec use violent, colonial rhetoric against the Mohawk Mothers and the nation they represent. Pls share & speak out to #stopthenewvic.
