Danielle Patterson, daughter of Wolf Clan Mother Macie Shenandoah This is video camera placed inside of the newly 
build cook house that is constantly surveilling 
Daniel's trailer. There is also at least one more camera inside the cook house that is pointed up the main access road leading to the trailer
The GOON squad guarding Halbritter's meeting 
at the long house. The Long House is locked at 
all times except when Halbritter has his weekly 
men's meeting on tuesdays. Only his council is 
allowed to attend these meetings.
Macie Shenandoah's cabin that was once a tradingpost but because Ray Halbritter does not allow private businesses on the territory it has been closed. The trading post will soon reopen in defiance of Halbritter and his GOON squad. The traditionalist maintain that Halbritter has no juristion on the 23 acre territory. 

 

DECMBER 7:
From: DEERSKINZ@aol.com

Today Daniel Patterson's furnace as been repaired and a new CO2 detection
system installed. Most of the work on the trailer has been completed, and
only a few minor repairs remain. While the tension here on the territory is
eased a bit, we are still on the alert. No one knows what Halbritter and
GOON's have planned.

AIM plans to stay here until either the immediate situation concerning the
safety of the traditionalist and their homes is assured or Halbritter's
recognition is removed and the traditional government of the Oneida is
reinstated by the State and Federal government. What we won't let happen is
the presence of AIM disappear after the situation settles. We are discussing
with the traditional Oneida the idea of forming their own chapter or
organization with supporters that can be readily available to defend and
assist as the situation arises.
There have been many  individuals and groups Native and non-Native that have
sacrificed their time and money to get this far and I would personally like
to thank all who have contributed to the cause. This may prove to be a long
drawn out struggle, and there is still a need to have observers. Anyone who
can spend even a few days is encouraged to contact us so we can plan to have
constant surveillance.
