Reflections
from the Ahnishinahbæótjibway (We, the People)
|
Sovereign and unique have
been used to characterize
“Indian Tribes.” The way that the
Indo-Europeans deal with the Aboriginal Indigenous Tribes completely
ignores
Aboriginal Indigenous Peoples’ Sovereignty.
The Indian Treaty-making process consistently used mixed-blood
people
whose Sovereignty was already held by the Indo-Europeans, in an
“unique”
violation of the U.S. Constitution.
Also “unique,” these “Treaties” were written only in
English. The European-appointed
mixed-blood
Medallion Chiefs who signed the Treaties spoke English.
The language of their fathers was English
(or French). These Medallion Chiefs
were automatically U.S. Citizens through their White fathers, but they
were
denied suffrage by racist policies.
The
Indian Claims Commission is funded by the United States
Congress with the full knowledge that the claims that it is
“adjudicating” are
based on fraudulent Treaties.
They want to use their Indians to “close the books forever” on
Aboriginal Indigenous Peoples’ rightful claims—and they keep promoting
“our own
Indians” (who have only White “sovereignty”) so they don’t have to face
the
responsibility for genocide and the Holocaust of these two continents. According to a legal report to the U.S.
Congress by M. Maureen Murphy, Legislative Attorney; given to Congress
on June
19, 1989, “Treaties with Indians could be abrogated without
recourse.
The power to do so was a political power, as such, not cognizable
by the
courts. [The Aboriginal Indigenous People did not sign
these
Treaties. At Red Lake, the Anishinabe
Ojibway did not sign the Treaty of 1863 or the Amendment in 1864. The Anishinabe Ojibway X’s
on the 1889 Chip-Away Agreement are forgeries;
all of
the X’s were
written by the same person.]
“Plenary authority over
the tribal relations of the Indians
has been exercised by Congress from the beginning, and the power has
always
been deemed a political one, not subject to be controlled by the
judicial
department of the government...
“The power exists to abrogate
the provisions of an Indian
Treaty, though presumably such power will be exercised only
when
circumstances arise which will not only justify the government
in
disregarding the stipulations of the treaty, but may demand, in the
interest of the country and the Indians themselves, that it
should do
so.
“The courts, therefore,
were unable to scrutinize the
background of the legislation; whether there was fraud in obtaining
signatures was irrelevant because the decision as to how
the nation
would deal with the Indians was a political one, left to the
political
branches of the government, the trustees of the Indian wards.” [emphasis
mine]
The
Indian Treaties were not made under International Law;
they were not made with the Aboriginal Indigenous Nations which held
and still
hold Aboriginal Indigenous Sovereignty under International Law. The Indian Treaties were made between U.S.
Government Officials, White Indian Traders, and their own bastard sons
who they
refused to legitimize or support. The
Indian Treaties were not made with Sovereign Aboriginal
Indigenous
people; this is why they can be abrogated by the United States
Congress,
internally, in a purely political process.
Fathering
mixed blood children—and then refusing to recognize
their legitimacy—was an Indo-European colonial strategy of genetic and
social
engineering all over the world. Here,
the first group of these children were fathered by the Voyageurs, who
were
mostly French Moors. In South Africa,
the Portuguese Moors, who were blood brothers of the French Moorish
Voyageurs,
did the same kind of colonial rape and pillage that was done to them by
Moors
who occupied Southern Europe until 1492.
In his 1972 book, South Africa, Jim Hoagland writes,
“The assumption is that
the mesticos [half-breeds and
mixed-bloods] will identify completely with Portuguese interests and
help
promote them. The rewards the mulattos
receive in the way of jobs and social mobility in the process will show
that
color is not a bar ... Such theories have promoted miscegenation, once
a matter
of carnal convenience, into official policy, encouraged by the
government and
praised as patriotic. Officers have
encouraged their soldiers to do their duty to Portugal by leaving
at least six mestico children behind when they finish their tours
in
Angola.”
The
Sovereignty of both the French Moors and the Portuguese
Moors is held by the Holy Roman Empire—Catholicism.
In
spite of the promises, the genetically-engineered
mixed-bloods—here and in South Africa—are not given human dignity
(African-Americans
are looking in the wrong place for equality; they would get farther if
they
went after human dignity and democratic parity.) People
of “Indian” identity are not under the protection of the
Justice Department of the United States, and are defined by the U.S.A.
as
not being eligible for human rights or civil rights, or even the
Bill of
Rights. In the apartheid Federal Code
of the Red Lake Chip-away Tribal Council, for example Section 600.193,
“No person or
Indian shall operate or drive any motor
vehicle ... unless such person or Indian ...”
The
racist White people who wrote this so-called “Tribal
Code” (rubber stamped “adopted” by the Red Lake Chip-away Council on
September
11, 1990) obviously do not consider Indians to be persons or human
beings. (The Red Lake Chip-away Tribal
Council
apparently can’t read.)
Under
the Colonial Indian Reservation system, de-humanizing
begins with the covert curriculum of the Red Lake Schools.
One of the facets of the Red Lake Factors is
to give the Anishinabe Ojibway children, as well as the children
trapped in an
Indian identity, low self-esteem. Janet
Lee Sullivan measured our children’s low self-esteem at Red Lake for
her 1979
Masters Thesis, “Perceptions of Students’ Self and Ideal Self by
[White] Teachers
and Students at the Red Lake Indian Reservation.” In
her thesis, she also quotes self-proclaimed “expert”
Charles Brill, “a white man who spent more than a decade in contact
with
Red Lake Indians, [and who] summed up his acquired knowledge as
follows: ‘In
time I came to understand it comes down to a question of priorities. What is of the greatest importance to the
white man may simply not fall within the Red Laker’s range of values
and
interests, and he will ignore it.’”
The
Indo-Europeans have been telling the Anishinabe Ojibway
that “this is the land of the free,” and “you should be democratic like
us.” They have tried to destroy
everything the Aboriginal Indigenous People had in order to “give us
Democracy.” Forked-tongue speaking
using crooked English: the system that they have set up for us is a
racist
dictatorship under Indo-European “International” Laws of Occupation. The world should know that this hypocrisy is
called “Democracy.” An example is the
Red Lake Fishery. This is the first
time in the history of the Fishery that the fishermen got paid a living
wage,
and the fisherman want to keep their livelihood in a democratic way. The manager for the last year has done a
good job, and most of the fishermen want to keep him on, using
democracy. If we are to go from a White
bureaucratic
dictatorship here, to a real democracy of the Red Lake people, there
must
be an audit of the Fishery for all of the years prior to Mr.
King’s
management. There also needs to a
complete audit, for all years, of the Red Lake Mills.
There needs to be a complete audit since the beginning: of the
Bingo, of the Red Lake Tribal Council, of the Indian Health Service,
Red Lake
Housing Authority, Red Lake Builders, the U.S. Government Red Lake
Courts and
the “Tribal Courts.” The Red Lake
Forestry and stumpage (United States Department of Agriculture) and the
Red
Lake Real Estate (what about Pine Island and the Northwest Angle?) Both
must
be audited for all years that they have been in existence, if we
are to
have a democratic process here at Red Lake.
Indians
and other non-existent minorities have always been
given a racist, paternalistic society by the Whites.
When you ask these self-important bureaucrats “what time is it,”
they say, “that’s confidential, that’s private, that’s internal
information,”
it’s interpreted in a covert way, “mum’s the word.”
If an organization is honest, they don’t
need to keep secrets, and they don’t need to be afraid of an audit.
Other
reflections from Anishinabe Ojibway Country:
everybody’s getting ready to celebrate 1492.
Columbus mis-named the Aboriginal Indigenous People here
“Indians,”
because he planned to lie to Queen Isabella and say he’d been to India. Calling Aboriginal Indigenous People
“Indians” is like naming your pet dog.
Take back your own Aboriginal Indigenous identity!
The Anishinabe Ojibway people have
absolutely no reason to support Columbus’ lie, nor any other White
man’s
lies. Celebrate 1992 by reclaiming your
own identity and disowning the White man’s racist and derogatory
“Indian”
identity.
Somebody
gave me a Treaty pen, one of the ones used in the
1863 Treaty-making. I was going to use
it to write about the Treaties, but, it would only make X’s,
forgeries at that.
