Kansas state screws ONAC while back-peddling illegal child theft of members

As many of you may well be aware, the state of Kansas illegally seized and in turn grossly victimized 5 out of 6 children in a family of members of our church over the coarse of the last 11 months simply because the parents were legally sanctioned to use cannabis for medicinal as well as spiritual reason both by Oklevueha Native American Church as well as the couples primary medical physician. Despite the state acknowledging and admitting to not having any "Legal" right or grounds to keep the children from their family members and loved ones, they have maintained the segregation of the family from the kids and the pleas for their prompt return home to their family.

ONAC attorney Matthew Pappas, along with church members including David Gaskin and other supporters rushed to the state of Kansas after learning of the hunger strike and ultimately arrest of Mr. Schwab for protesting the illegal detainment of his children.

Pappas has filed an Injunction against the state of Kansas regarding this issue and these children.

As seen in the photograph, Gaskin is at the front lines as all ONAC members should, demanding the prompt return of the Schwab children.

Gaskin is hereditary chief of the Ojibwe Annishabe Chippewa Nation, of which the children contain approximately 50% bloodline of because of their mother... Gaskin's grandmother officiated the tribe via treaty many moons ago as chief of the international tribal nation. Gaskin is of the White Crane Clan, and his uncle is chief of both the Eagle and Loon Clans of the Sugar Island area, an internationally recognized and honored tribal nation by the US, Canada and too, the United Nations.

Since this gross victimization to this family, one child has wound up strapped down inside a mental hospital facility because of the intense emotional trauma of this whole ordeal, along with sustaining physical abuse, while another child placed with his biological alcoholic father has suffered extreme physical abuse, but worst of all, is the permanent traumatic damage instilled upon their youngest child and only daughter who has been physically as well as violently sexually assaulted by state foster care officials at the innocent age of just 5 years old.

Despite the state announcing such victimization having been happening to these children, and admitting they have no legal reason to continue to keep the children from their parents, Kansas officials remained firm in that they would not willingly return the children to the safety of their family home-life nor have they made any effort in attempting to protect the children from further abuse, which speaks volumes to many especially considering they insist they are doing what's "In the best interest of the children."

Many of you may also be aware of the fact that the United Nations has scheduled a "Drug Policy" as well as an "Environmental Policy" conference April 19th through the 21st in Washington DC... an event that ONAC specifically was invited to attend. David Gaskin specifically was called upon by the federal government to attend and be heard as the voice for both ONAC as well as all indigenous peoples of the land by the president of the United State's representatives personally.

What many of you may not realize, is that Oklevueha Native American Church has established a Child Protective Services department division of it's own, oversaw by David Gaskin, co-emissary over ONAC and CEO of the Oklevueha Native American Church Indigenous Peoples Church (ONAC IPC) along with Sachem Joy Graves of ONAC Kautantowit's Mecautea and ONAC Wahupta Oyate independent branch churches.

Word was received as of yesterday that the state of Kansas is aware of along with in agreement to relinquishing the children to ONAC, but, state that they expect David Gaskin to personally appear and present himself as the federally recognized individually legally allowed to retrieve them... thing is, they've picked the date conflicting with the UN meet David Gaskin was personally requested by White House officials to attend.

Kansas officials have told Gaskin that they expect his physical presence promptly in their state office on Wednesday, April 20th 2016 to receive the children. The UN Conference has long been scheduled for April 19th thru the 21st in DC, and it has been publicly made known that Gaskin's attendance had been requested. Gaskin says that though he is a bit disappointed as the conference was such a needed coarse for he and ONAC to take, the suffering of the children he says is far more of an urgent priority for him to attend to.

Gaskin is scheduled to fly out and into Kansas state tomorrow (4/16/2016) so that he can promptly be in attendance with the state as scheduled and wisk the kids to safety via ONAC opposed to the abusive state resource options. Both would be history in the making, but Gaskin says that his heart, conscious and spirit makes it clear that though the conference would strengthen the whole of ONAC, that the childrens safety and well-being simply Must remain the priority.

Kansas officials have made it clear that Gaskin himself must personally present himself to them if the children are to be set free from state clutches, and government officials having personally requested Gaskin to be part of the UN meeting has of coarse led to hindrance upon the whole of the church as both are extremely important, but again, Oklevueha's loyalty and attention must remain to the immediate priority at hand, which is to save these children from the victimization they have endured for almost a solid year now.

Gaskin has identified himself and informed them of the ONAC position in writing, which officials acknowledge has been received and will be honored upon Gaskin's arrival, and it is anticipated that as of Wednesday, the Schwab children will be safely entrusted into the hands of Gaskin and the church, which he says is ultimately the most important of the two to get accomplished as quickly as is humanly possible to do.
