Denial and Racism Prevents Learning, Understanding

Author Vine Deloria, Jr., an Indigenous scholar, addresses the issue of basic human rights and recognition of Indigenous Nationhood in his many writings, such as "Red Earth, White Lies."Even today people mistakenly think that Indigenous Red “Indian” Peoples “migrated” from Asia or Mongolia, via a recently disproven “bering strait theory" – or to “Indians” the “BS” lie.

That "theory" was discarded during the 1990s when DNA tests revealed a distinct difference between Asians/Mongolians and Indigenous Red Peoples of “Great Turtle Island”, known by the common misnomer “celebrating” global imperialism - “western hemisphere.”The origin stories of over 500 Indigenous Red Nations have been ignored for 514 years. This perpetuates ongoing genocidal policies to deny existence and rights of Red Peoples, an attempt at self soothing by Americans as they try to “feel better” while they occupy, steal, and exploit Indigenous resources like coal (electricity for their light bulbs, computers, TV’s, DVD’s, and play stations) and Black Hills gold (basis of their money and pyramid hierarchy system). “America” is still enjoying enormous benefits from these Indigenous resources - made filthy rich off the property of “Indians.”

The usual “justification” for their continued genocidal policies and behaviors is “well, that was a long time ago – let’s move on.” But unfortunately their bible and U.S. Constitution protects Indigenous Peoples and their Treaties from violation through Article VI of the U.S. Constitution, which states, “Treaties made with Indian Nations shall be the supreme law of the lands.”

Although the 1851 Treaty of Fort Laramie (the primary and final Treaty between eight Red Nations and the u.s. and just one of many Treaties since 1492) is slightly “aged” from its adoption in 1851 and subsequent ratification by congress in 1853, it is definitely no “older” than the revered Constitution of 1776 itself, or the Christian’s “holy bible”, for that matter. Few claim these documents are “too old” to honor, respect, or recognize.

In 1924, the government even tried to force “U.S. citizenship” upon Indigenous Red Nations and Peoples, a slap in the face to Red Peoples. But Red Nations continue to struggle to be respected and recognized as members of the community of world’s nations within groups like the “United Nations” (however currently controlled by big oil and u.s. government oil lobbyists – which could change if “Indian” were allowed in) or welcomed into the “Olympic Games” – where “team” sports (“Invented” by Red Nations of Great Turtle Island) are enjoyed by the many black, white, and yellow nations of the world.Denial and racism keeps many from learning and understanding ways of life of the many beautiful Red Nations who lived peacefully and harmoniously upon Grand Mother Earth for millions - yes millions - of years prior to the “columbus invasion of 1492.”

And, as you can see by this writing, Indigenous Red Nations and Peoples are definitely NOT “conquered.”

Support Six Nations Peoples, “Supreme Law” Treaties, And The U.S. Constitution Petition

http://www.thepetitionsite.com/takeaction/754099980

Whereas, Indigenous Red Nations and Peoples have always been here upon Great Turtle Island (misnomer “western hemisphere”); Indigenous Red Nations and Peoples are, indeed, “indigenous” and did not “migrate” as one professor once speculated [bering straight “BS” lie] in a “theory” now too-overly quoted and reject the other goofy “theory” that “all humans originated from Africa”, and
Whereas, Indigenous Red “Indian” Nations and Peoples entered into international, legal, binding agreements with the united states government between 1776 and 1851 – called “Treaties” - that are protected from violation through Article VI of the U.,S. Constitution which states, “Treaties made with Indian Nations shall be the supreme law of the land, with the judge in every state bound thereby”, and
Whereas, Indigenous Treaties are the supreme law and continue to exist (only violated) and must therefore be honored by america; simply because of the 1851 Treaty’s age of 155 years (“Oh, that was a long time age!” denial quote of government officials), the most precious documents – similar in importance and reverence to american’s, such as the far older Constitution (230 years) and the even more archaic “christian bible” – a staggering 2,000 years of age, are still honored and respected, and
Whereas, like most other Indigenous Red Nations, the Nakota (Nakota, DaNakota, Dakota, Lakota) Nation, along with seven other Indigenous Red Nations of the northern Great Plains, entered into a very great “supreme law” Treaty on September 17, 1851 along Horse Creek in what is now called “northwest Nebraska” called the “Treaty of Long Meadows” to the Nakota Nation, also known as the “Great Horse Creek Treaty” to the Cheyenne Nation, and known as the “1851 Treaty of Fort Laramie” to the u.s. government, and
Whereas, the 1851 Treaty – the last legal document of law of the Nakota Nation – is protected from violation by Article VI of the U.S. Constitution, and Whereas, the 1851 Treaty of Fort Laramie is daily violated – it is not “broken” Like a light bulb with the switch only turned off – versus a light bulb broken and shattered, and
Whereas, these Indigenous Red “Indian” Nations and Peoples of the 1851 Treaty of Fort Laramie are not “conquered” – they are still here; with legitimate and legal land and resource rights issues pending. Indigenous Peoples did not “lose the war” – as they are still fighting for basic human rights and the right to Red Nationhood even in 2006, and
Whereas, Indigenous Red Nations are denied nationhood recognition by the “u.s. government” and in organizations such as the United Nations (UN), which, however, is currently being manipulated and used as a “puppet” by greedy governments and the large corporations who control them in order that the UN “rubber stamp” military actions and invasions against small countries for their resources (in the name of “god” and “democracy”; i.e., Iraq, Afghanistan, Iran, Venezuela; in honor of big oil, etc.), and
Whereas, ARTICLE 3, 1851 Treaty of Fort Laramie states “In consideration of the rights and privileges acknowledged in the preceding article, the United States bind themselves to protect the aforesaid Indian nations against the commission of all depredations by the people of the said United States, after the ratification of this treaty”, and
Whereas, in 1924, the u.s. government violated Article VI of the U.S. Constitution and the 1851 Treaty of Fort Laramie by attempting to force an illegal "citizenship act" down the throats of "american Indian" Nations (attempting to relegate them to "tribes"), and
Whereas, the illegal 1924 “citizenship act” has yet to be officially rejected by most Indigenous Red Nations and Peoples (except for the Six nations Confederacy who even issue their own passports for their Red Citizenry) - who never authorized such "act", and
Whereas, in 1988, the “Genocide Convention Implementation Act (Proxmire Act)” was finally adopted by the u.s. (after 40 years of rejection) which made it a crime to commit genocide against Indigenous Peoples and authorizes fines of 1 million dollars and life in prison to government officials who violate, and
Whereas, the powerful and mighty “Six Nations” peoples of the northeast region of Great Turtle Island (misnomer “northeast u.s./southeast Canada”) have always rejected the illegal 1924 “citizenship act” and each year symbolically walk across a heavily used bridge between “u.s./canada” - stopping thousands of american/canadian vehicles during the process, in order to expose this fact and their precious nationhood to the world, and Whereas, the Lakota (and seven other 1851 Treaty Signatory Nation’s) resources, along with the trillions in timber, tourism, mineral mining, and land use, have allowed “America” to become staggeringly rich and wealthy beyond belief, yet the true owners of this property are ignored, violated, abused, and belittled by the american government and ignorant masses who sanction such abuse, and
Whereas, the gold, coal, and numerous other 1851 Treaty Resources thefted, occupied, and transport illegally “across state lines” have yet to be returned or paid for and remains a human rights violation and clear act of genocide – in violation of the 1988 Genocide (Proxmire) Act, Article VI of the U.S. Constitution, and the 1851 Treaty of Fort Laramie, and
Whereas, Indigenous Red “Indian” Peoples currently do not “stand up” for the "anthem/pledge” because of the current and continuing occupation and theft of resources and violations of Treaties, Supreme laws, and Genocide Acts.

Therefore be it resolved that all good human beings upon Great Turtle Island (misnomer “western hemisphere”) must help the 1851 Treaty of Fort Laramie Signatory Red Nations and Peoples while encourage american lawmakers and church-goers into honoring and protecting their own Constitution, the 1851 Treaty, and the 1988 Genocide Act, and begin the process of ceasing the ongoing genocide against Indigenous Red Nations by u.s. government officials and the corporations dictating policy to them by allowing illegal acts such as the “1924 citizenship act” to continue.

Be it further resolved that the "casino" tribes – and especially the powerful and well-known “Sioux” Nation - within the territories now referred to as the “united states” begin to bring about awareness to u.s. citizenry and government officials and designate appropriate funding for and support of, the rejection, denouncement, and termination of, the illegal “1924 citizenship act”, which would allow the Red Nations to return to their original Nationhood status which would protect and secure their remaining lands and rights for future generations and might then admit them into groups such as the Untied Nations (should the group ever heal from its current corporate control and become a “peace” organization as intended).

The “National Anthem” in Spanish?!
May 1st, 2006
(API)


Currently, an issue regarding the “national anthem” being sung in the “Spanish language” has upset a racist faction of Americans. But the same biased response is not leveled against the christian “bible” being translated and spoken in English. This hypocrisy reveals the lack of thought in this issue (the bible’s original language is Arab) by the “religious right.”

However, the american government’s “national anthem” and their “pledge of allegiance” should not be recited in english or spanish by anyone until the $9 trillion dollars in Black Hills gold at Fort Knox is returned to Indigenous "American Indians” of the Nakota (Nakota, DaNakota, Dakota, Lakota), Crow, Arapaho, Cheyenne, Hidatsa, Mandan, and Arikara Nations – the rightful owners of this gold via the 1851 Treaty of Fort Laramie.

The 1851 Treaty – the last legal document of law of the Nakota Nation – is protected from violation by Article VI of the U.S. Constitution, which states “Treaties made with Indian Nations shall be the supreme law of the land, with the judges in every state bound thereby."

The Treaty is daily violated – it is not “broken.” Like a light bulb with the switch only turned off – versus a light bulb broken and shattered.

These Indigenous Red “Indian” Nations and Peoples of the 1851 Treaty of Fort Laramie still exist. Indigenous Peoples are not conquered – they are still here, with land and resource rights issues pending. Indigenous Peoples did not “lose the war” – as they are still fighting for basic human rights and the right to Red Nationhood.

Yet Indigenous Red Nations and Peoples – who have always been here (indigenous and not having “migrated” as one professor once speculated in a “theory” now too-overly quoted) - are denied nationhood recognition by the “United States government” and in organizations such as the United Nations (UN).

However, the UN is currently being used as a “puppet” by greedy governments and the large corporations who control them in order that they “rubber stamp” military actions and invasions against small countries for their resources (in the name of “god” and “democracy”; i.e., Iraq, Afghanistan, Iran, Venezuela). And only if this organization is reorganized, fixed, and/or saved would Red Nations consider joining it anyway.

Boycott “anthem/pledge”?

Indigenous Red “Indian” Peoples currently do not “stand up” for the "anthem/pledge” also because of the current theft and transport “across state lines” of their 1851 Treaty (“Wyoming”) coal reserves. This coal is illegally used in ‘coal gasification plants’ in order to supply the ‘electricity wants’ for america's computers, lights, heating, air conditioning, TV's, and DVD players.

The gold and coal of the Lakota "Sioux" has yet to be returned or paid for and remains a human rights issue and act of genocide – in clear violation of the 1988 Genocide (Proxmire) Act, Article VI of the U.S. Constitution, and the 1851 Treaty of Fort Laramie. The “anthem/pledge” should not be recited until the matter is resolved and the genocide stops.


Supreme Law

ARTICLE 3, 1851 Treaty of Fort Laramie: “In consideration of the rights and privileges acknowledged in the preceding article, the United States bind themselves to protect the aforesaid Indian nations against the commission of all depredations by the people of the said United States, after the ratification of this treaty.”

Indigenous Treaties are the supreme law, in accordance with Article VI of the U.S. Constitution. Simply because of the 1851 Treaty’s age (155 years), the most precious documents – similar in importance and reverence to the american’s far older Constitution (230 years) and the even more archaic “christian bible” – a staggering 2,000 years of age.

The Lakota (and seven other nation’s) resources, along with the trillions in timber, tourism, mineral mining, and land use, have allowed “America” to become staggeringly rich and wealthy beyond belief, yet the true owners of this property are ignored, violated, abused, and belittled by the american government and ignorant masses who sanction such abuse by their ignorance and arrogance.


Even Very Sacred Sites Endangered

One of the few remaining accessible Very Sacred Sites of the Lakota People is Bear Butte. It is currently under attack by greedy businessmen who want to turn the area into a drunken alcoholic festival site and gunnery range for discharging of loud weapons – yet another “depredation” violation of Article 3 of the 1851 Treaty and Article VI of the U. S. Constitution.

Please help the 1851 Treaty of Fort Laramie Peoples. Encourage lawmakers to honor and protect their own Constitution and cease the ongoing genocide against Red Nations. Stop the assault of Bear Butte and urge your church groups, lawmakers, and media to urge the UN to admit Red Nations into the community of world’s nations once again – or fold up the group!
