In Memory of Splitting-The-Sky, Dacajeweiah
Earth-Heal
Mohawk Warrior and Champion of the People Dies – March 13, 2013. A great loss to the people, to the nation, to the resistance, to the anti-imperialist movement right across Great Turtle Island.
On March 13th, Dacajeweiah, Splitting-the-Sky, 61, left us forever when he passed away in his home in Adams Lake, British Columbia. Dac’s colonial name was John Boncore Hill, from Six Nations. “From Attica to Gustafsen Lake,” and thereafter, he was a warrior, a comrade, a brother, a father, a grandfather, a friend.
We deeply mourn his loss.
The family will release a biographical statement and details of memorial arrangements in due course. With deepest love to his wife, She-Keeps-the-Door, and children. We stand with Dac’s many many co-fighters and friends. He loved the People. The AIM song is dedicated to the continuance of the resistance after a warrior has fallen A.I.M. song

Splitting The Sky attempts citizens arrest of war criminal George W. Bush
Via Joshua Blakeney:
I am distressed to announce that my friend and comrade – Mohawk activist Splitting the Sky – has died. He participated in the Attica prison rebellion of 1971, John Lennon dedicated the famous song “Imagine” to him, he was in the American Indian Movement, he attempted a citizen’s arrest on George W. Bush, he was a dedicated 9/11 truther and much more. Some called him the “Che Guevara of North America”. He will be sorely missed. Condolences to his loved ones including Sandra Bruderer.

We Lost “Splitting the Sky”, a Mohawk Warrior and Activist
Canada Palestine Association is deeply saddened by the recent passing of Mohawk warrior and indigenous activist Splitting the Sky (John Boncore). The Palestinian people are indebted to Splitting the Sky for his enduring resistance and uncompromising anti-colonial positions, as well as his long time support of the Palestinian struggle.
He was an early member of the American Indian Movement and also attempted a citizen’s arrest of U.S. President George W. Bush in 2009 in Calgary for war crimes and crimes against humanity .

Dear God, Zen, this is two great Canadians in one week! First Douglas Christie and now Splitting the Sky which just caught me off guard now as I read this. I have been bereaved, especially since attending Doug’s funeral and the after reception, but now this just 3 days later….. truly, Zen, the tears are pouring from my eyes right now. I have lost so much the past few days…. and now to know we have lost another hero…. may the skies weep and rage for this great loss to Canada. Much thanks go his family for sharing him with us for so long… and peace be upon you for your own contributions in supporting this great hero now fallen.
You got me crying again, Noor. Sad it is. Wonderful individuals such as these were the markers of truth in our time, yet were met with such disdain. Unworthy world? Helping from the other side now? I don’t know. It’s just profoundly sad to see great people go. But mourning arouses deep deep emotion and spirit. And that’s good. Love you!
Speaking of truth.This, in the spirit of of Splitting the Sky.
