Reflections
from the Ahnishinahbæótjibway (We, the People)
|
In
1958, Roger Jourdain and the Bureau of Indian Affairs
fraudulently brought the 1934 Indian Reorganization Act onto some of
the Red
Lake Anishinabe Ojibway Nation.
From 1958 until now, there has
been massive destruction of the Anishinabe Ojibway Peoples’ forests and
other
permaculture. As a part of their
scorched-earth policies of “colonization” (stealing other Peoples’
lands), the
Euro-Americans are completely destroying the Anishinabe Ojibway
People’s
resources, and Traditional food and medicines.
Hollywood
and other high Government officials, in their
propaganda, have called Indians “the first environmentalists and
conservationists.” This is an ironic
lie. These alleged “first
environmentalists” have used the flowing well on the Farm Station Road
as a
dumping ground for their garbage. At
the fish landings where the Indians fish, there are rotten fish and
other
trash. Sheephead and other “rough fish”
are dumped all over the brush, along with dead animals shot by these
so-called
“first conservationists and environmentalists;” calling them this is
White Lie.
The
White Tribal Council is planning on building a park down
by Pike Creek, for the youth and the tourists.
I wonder how long that park will last, before the Indian youth
tear it
up and throw empty beer cases and everything else all over it? When will the graffiti and other angry
writing cover whatever buildings are made in the park?
The slashing of the school-bus seats, and
the dumping of more garbage all over the land gives a good example of
what’s
probably going to happen to that park.
These Indian youth have a self-destructive mechanism built into
their
psyche, because they see their so-called leaders destroying the forests
and the
environment, and polluting—it amounts to the blind leading the blind. These are the examples that the 1934 I.R.A.
Tribal Council sets for the Indian youth.
These children have no self-esteem, and they have nothing to
look
forward to. There has to be a
turn-around in this community. The
Chippewa Indian “Red Road” is a dead-end.
It is already red-lined. The
Anishinabe Ojibway Nation, “We, the People,” have Aboriginal and
Natural Rights
which supersede anything which the White man has brought in here. The 1934 Indian Reorganization Act is an
illegal government. International Law, including the Nuremberg
Principles and
the International Convention against Genocide apply—to both the
Euro-Americans and
to the Chippewa Indians that the White man is using to keep his own
hands
clean. We, the Anishinabe Ojibway, have
a right to exist in our own land without foreign governments destroying
our
forests, polluting our waters, and decimating the birthright of our
generations
yet to come. Because of the genocide,
we may be a few in number, but this is Anishinabe Ojibway land, and
always will
be.
There
is a huge difference between the Chippewa Indians and
the Anishinabe Ojibway People. The
Anishinabe Ojibway People are Aboriginal Indigenous People of this
continent,
with aboriginal Sovereignty and a Clan and a Dodem on the patrilineal
line. Through Grandmother Earth and
Grandfather the Midewiwin, the Anishinabe Ojibway People are the joint
owners
of this land, the Anishinabe Ojibway Nation.
The Chippewa Indians are victims of European genetic and social
engineering; they have a new identity because of their White fathers. Chippewa Indians do not have Anishinabe
Ojibway Clans and Dodems. Some Chippewa
Indians claim “Indian Clans” on their mother’s side, but they are an
extension
of Western European Civilization, an inherent part of the European
colonization
process. Chippewa Indians are
patrilineally Indo-European; their Sovereignty is held by the Western
European
empire through their White patrilineal ancestry. Although
they are kept out of the White mainstream because of the
racist European social structure, Chippewa Indians are an inherent part
of
Euro-American society. Indian identity
is created by the White man; the labels and stereotypes which are a
part of the
“Indian” identity are European projections.
The Washington Redskins can continue to promote their racism,
because
the White man created and owns Indians.
It’s a pretty sick society that disowns their own relatives,
that
creates ugly stereotypes and uses racism to maintain their hierarchy. The people who identify themselves as
“Indians” have bought into the trap; they are stuck with an identity
that they
don’t own, and instead of defining themselves as who they are, are
forced to
live out the vicious stereotypes created by sado-masochistic Europeans
crazed with
the mental illness of greed. The
Indians can’t sue; they are history.
Because of the White man’s control and mandate over them through
the
White-owned Indian identity, Indians clear-cut Anishinabe Ojibway
forests; the
incredible mess that Indians leave behind in the forests is a direct
consequence of the White man’s stereotypes: “drunken Indian,” “lazy
Indian,”
“filthy Indian,” and all of the other projections that reflect who the
White
man really is. This needs to be
addressed, there needs to be dialogue and on-going discussions. People don’t need to be stuck in the Indian
identity—but they’re not going to get out of it by trying to steal the
Anishinabe Ojibway identity, they need to look at who they really are. The destruction of our forests must stop.
The
United States is using the Indians that he created and
controls as a broker for Anishinabe Ojibway forest products, land, and
other
resources. The reason that Red Lake is
a heavily funded Government town, is that we, the Anishinabe Ojibway,
are paying
for the destruction of our own land and resources.
The profit for the timber, and everything else from the
Aboriginal Indigenous Peoples’ resources, goes right into the “Regional
Center,” Bemidji’s economy. They like
to scapegoat “welfare mothers,” but they never talk about all of the
White
people who live off of the Reservation who commute here to well paying
jobs. All of the people on the
Government Dole don’t belong here (that includes the Tribal Council). The self-righteous welfare-bashers and
political editors and County Commissioners don’t mention all of the
salaries
for the White people and the White Indians, all of the Government
pensions, all
of the lucrative White contracts and Sweetheart deals, all of the pork
for the
D.N.R. political hacks, all of the bargain deals on “surplus equipment”
that
the Anishinabe Ojibway people are paying for.
Beltrami County pays about half a million dollars in “welfare,”
virtually none of which comes out of property tax (on land which was
stolen
from the Anishinabe Ojibway). Property
tax is a red herring—it serves big property owners right for buying
stolen
property. Property taxes are really rent—sunder
Eminent Domain, United States citizens don’t own any land, never did
and never
will. They might hold [crooked] “title
to property,” which is not the same as owning land, an exclusive
prerogative of
the so-called ruling class. This is the
way European thinking works, and doesn’t have anything to do with the
fact that
the United States doesn’t own this Aboriginal Indigenous Peoples’
Continent. Neither the Indian Treaties
nor the 1889 Chippewa “Agreement” that Roger Jourdain celebrated with
such
fanfare are worth the paper they’re printed on. These
U.S. - Indian documents are all frauds and fakes, because the
Indian Sovereignty is held by the Euro-Americans; the White man was
signing the
Treaties with his own genetically engineered subject peoples. The Indians don’t own any land, and never
did.
Japanese
bashing:
When
the elite ruling class gets carried away with their
greed, and the people outside of the elite start to get restless, the
elite
always orchestrate a scapegoat. The
people you see are the people from the lower classes, bashing another
group of
people, for example auto-workers in Detroit bashing Japanese cars with
sledgehammers, and some of the other really ugly racism that’s been
going on
against the Japanese. The elite
orchestrates a diversion: when the fire is here, the smoke is over
there. This kind of scapegoating is
stupid, it’s
senseless racism and it’s ignorance.
The people who get caught up in it become Ugly Americans to no
purpose
except protecting the elite who is manipulating them.
On the
Republican scene:
It
looks like George Bush has won the nomination for
Republican Presidential Candidate hands down, or hands up, or hands in
the
pocket. David Duke, who likes to bash
welfare mothers and other people who can’t fight back, hasn’t been
heard from
in the Mass Media for quite awhile.
He’s been censored just like the Iraqi side of “Desert Storm”
was
censored. Hmmm. I
think David Duke is a lightening rod
connected to a loose Bu-cannon.
Bush
is looking outside the continental United States for his
presidential agenda. Because of his
connections with the C.I.A., he’s an expert in Foreign Policy. The President is starting bush fires all
over the world, looking for a Willie Horton.
He’s trying to escape political responsibility for the serious
problems
he has created at home. For example,
jobs need to be put on the endangered species list.
Official United States Labor Department statistics are lies, and
don’t tell the whole number of people who are unemployed.
