Reflections
from the Ahnishinahbæótjibway (We, the People)
|
The
first order of business under the illegal colonial 1934
Indian Reorganization Act “government” on the Red Lake Reservation was
Ordinance No. 1 in 1959: “ENROLLMENT.”
Section number 2 of this First Ordinance reads:
“ENROLLMENT
AND LOSS
OF MEMBERSHIP IN THE BAND SUBSEQUENT TO NOVEMBER 10, 1958.
In accordance with Article 3, Section 1(b)
of the Constitution and Bylaws, the following rules and regulations
shall
constitute the requirements for enrollment in the band subsequent to
November
10, 1958 and such rules shall govern the loss of membership in the
Band:...
“(C) Upon
the death
of any enrolled member of the Band, his name shall be removed from the
roll and
any of his Band rights or interests shall terminate upon the date of
death. ...
“ [This means that Indians do not own
any land, and that Indians cannot inherit rights in land under “Indian
law,”
which is really English law derived from the conquering Roman
Empire—the U.S.
laws that the “Treaties” were written under recognized the “absolute
title of
the crown,” which was the King of England.]
“(G) Any
child born
to a Red Lake member mother out of wedlock shall not be enrolled,
unless the
mother becomes married to the father of the child and the father is an
enrolled
member of the Band, or if the mother becomes married to a member of the
Band,
not the father, the child may be enrolled if the husband legally adopts
the
child, provided all other qualifications for enrollment are met.
“(H) Any
child born
to a Red Lake member mother who becomes or is married to a non-Indian
or
non-member of the Red Lake Band shall not be enrolled as a member of
the Band.”
Section
1 of this Ordinance Number One of the I.R.A. colonial
puppet government refers to the “per capita roll of August 28, 1958.” This “per capita roll” was a Payment Roll:
the money came from the sale of timber, from Anishinabe Ojibway
resources,
under the provisions of Senate Bill 2922, 35th Congress.
This bill—and amendments—was designed to do
several crooked and unethical things.
One of the things which this bill accomplished was “packing” the
voter
registration rolls, which are based on “Tribal Enrollments” derived
from
Payment Rolls. For a quarter of a
century, the U.S. Government had been trying to put an I.R.A. colonial
government into Red Lake—over the strenuous objections of the
Anishinabe
Ojibway People who hold Aboriginal Indigenous Sovereignty here.
The
“Tribal Council” organized under the Constitution of 1918
and headed by Peter Graves was also a colonial government, and was not
the
legitimate, Anishinabe Ojibway government of Red Lake—which is still
here and
which is still Sovereign. After Peter
Graves’ death, the U.S. withdrew “domestic dependent” recognition from
the
“Tribal Council” organized under the 1918 Constitution—and using
classic
Machiavellian divide-and-conquer tactics, created and then precipitated
factions, planted vicious rumors, and polarized the community in a way
that
still exists today.
In
the absence of any “duly, Federally Recognized” [which is
Crooked English] Colonial Government to hide behind, the United States
Government gave us a peek at their stacked deck. The
Senate Committee Hearings for S. 2922 read, “The Department
has determined that there is no governing body of the Red Lake Band at
the
present time, and it is probable that one may not be functioning before
the end
of the fiscal year. Under these
circumstances, the enactment of authorizing legislation that is not
dependent
upon action by a governing body of the band is advisable.
... The Secretary by law ... may
employ personnel only with the consent of the tribal council. ...
[There were
at least two “Tribal Councils,” each with their own Government Chiefs
and ten
little Indians, and then there were none.]
This requirement of tribal council consent ... was not requested
by the
tribe [the “tribe” and the “tribal council” are two different
things—more
Crooked English], it is inconsistent with the Federal trust
responsibility.” The “Federal trust
responsibility” is the
third, usually hidden level of the externally imposed colonial
government.
The
United States used the amendments of S. 2922 to write
themselves a blank check. Under the
thieving provisions that the U.S. wrote for themselves in 1958, the
U.S. claims
that they have the “right” to hire whoever they want to “administer
under Trust
responsibility” the Anishinabe Ojibway Peoples’ resources.
They have written into their own laws the
“right” to steal whatever they want to without either the direct
permission of
the real Anishinabe Ojibway owners, or even the irrelevant “permission”
of the
Meti Indians and White Wanna-Be Indians who are the usual brokers and
middle-men. It hasn’t cost the U.S.
Government a dime, in fact they’ve made billions by stealing. The amendments to Senate Bill 2922
eliminated even the token per-capita payments for Red Lake timber.
NEWS FROM
THE JOURDAINIAN AND BRUN I.R.A. DIMINISHING AND DEFORESTED
RESERVATION:
1934
I.R.A. “Tribal Council” elections are coming up
again. During the last two 1934 I.R.A.
election campaigns, there were expensive ads in the Bemidji Pioneer
about
“terrorists” and “fish peddlers,” and people who were potential
Communist
sympathizers. This is getting to be
tiresome—we need new scapegoats and new campaign slogans.
Instead of “Turn In Fish Peddlers!” how
about “Turn In Ecological Terrorists!”
“Turn in Wood Peddlers!” “Turn
in Stumpage Thieves!” “Turn in Land
Thieves!” “Turn in Hunting and Fishing
Rights Thieves!” “Turn in Radioactive
Waste Peddlers!” “Turn in Aboriginal
Identity Thieves!” and “Turn in Sovereignty Thieves!”
The
Anishinabe Ojibway People need to file lawsuits in
International Court about human rights violations and ecological
racism,
against the United States Government, as well as against the Wanna-be
Chip-away
Indians who are tools of the U.S. in chipping away at the Aboriginal
Indigenous
Peoples’ hunting and fishing rights, land, resources, and Sovereignty,
religion
and identity, and our right to exist.
EDUCATIONAL
NEWS:
Basic
English is an acronym for British, American, scientific
and commercial. It was developed as an
international language, by C.K. Ogden and I.A. Richards.
It has a vocabulary of 850 words: 600 nouns,
150 adjectives, 16 verbs, 20 prepositions, and miscellaneous words. Reservation English consists of 400 words,
and this is including Anglo-Saxon words such as “sheeit,”
“sonnuvabich,” and
“F...”, etc., etc. A lot
of people on the Reservations and in the ghettos are really angry—this
is
partly because they do not have any language to communicate
with, except
the kind of Body English that can send you to General Hospital. Compulsory School Education is a big
rip-off. If people learn how to read
and speak the Crooked English Language, only then can they see the
covert
curriculum crystal-clear.
NEWS OF
MANIFEST DESTINY:
It’s
now 1992. The
Europeans have had five hundred years of racist stereotyping and
name-calling
on our continents. U.S. President
Theodore Roosevelt said he wanted to “pulverize the Tribal Masses” in
order to
get rid of the “Indian problem.” Other
racist projections include the label “Indian Giver.”
The Aboriginal Indigenous People propose to celebrate the
quinticentennial and end the legacy by giving the Europeans back their
racist
artificial label, “Indian.” Let the
sports enthusiasts have their projected stereotypes of a non-existent
mythological “Indian”: making money is $acred for Europeans. Those who are paid to lead demonstrations
against “Tomahawk Chops” and “Redskins,” while claiming to be
“Indians,” are
part of the same crooked scheme. The
Wanna-be protests are a replay of the Boston Tea Party, and are
choreographed
right out of Hollywood. Drugstore
Cowboys and Hollywood Indians ride again!
When these “Indians” come to terms with their real identity (and
they
are not Aboriginal Indigenous people), only then can we solve
the real
and serious problems that were created for us—as Human Beings.
OTHER OLD
NEWS:
In
our historical research, we’ve found out that during World
War II, the Bureau of Indian Affairs was into relocation and P.O.W.
imprisonment of yet another group of people: the “evacuated Japanese”
citizens
of the U.S. This is the Mother of All
Facts, not Dancing with the Facts.
