The
“Indian” identity is owned by the Europeans, and the
Whites can write anything they want to about their invention of
“Indians.” The people that they are trying
to
“assimilate” into Indians have been trapped in this dishonest identity. Down in White Earth, the people are
complaining about having a dishonest government. But,
when you have a dishonest identity, you deserve each other,
until you come to terms with who you really are. The
whole “Indian” thing is a fraud and a fake, invented by the
Europeans to steal this continent.
The
European has the right to write history for the Indians,
because he invented “Indians.” The
so-called “Indian history” that the Europeans and Euro-Americans write
is all
lies. The White man needs to invent
rationales to justify his stealing here.
There were no “Indians” here—in order to build up his ego and
his
self-esteem, he has to discredit other people.
European Science tries to prove how great the White man is
(according to
White science, the Europeans of the nineteenth century were at the
pinnacle of
Social Evolution). European science is
based on the Christian world-view. The
Bering Strait Theory is Adam and Eve, re-clothed in pseudo-science. Since the White man invented the Indians, he
can make up all kinds of nonsense and call it “science.”
The White historians say that the “Indians
came over the Bering Strait.”
The
“squaw men” were men of inferior class in Europe. Their
“superiors” brought them into the
concentration camps called “Reservations” in the 1800’s to help destroy
the
Aboriginal Indigenous People. By 1928,
the Brookings Institute described these “squaw men” as “an extremely
low grade
white, a misfit in the economic and social life of the white
civilization,
[who] forms a union with a low grade Indian.
These low grade whites turn Indian in a way that is quite
shocking, and
they may be found existing in shacks that are below rather than above
those of
the purely [Aboriginal] dwellings in the neighborhood.
Children of these unions have frequently the
handicap of bad heredity and bad environment.
The White father, too, is apparently fairly prone to desert the
Indian
woman, leaving her with the burden of caring for the children.” This is the “ethnic laboratory,” the social
and genetic engineering of Western European $ivilization.
There
is no role model for an “Indian” that anybody in their
right mind would want to follow. Look
at all the stereotypes. “Indian” is a
derogatory name, built out of the ugly racism of the White man. A lot of “Indians” are being paid good money
to perpetuate this fake identity. These
are White people, who are dishonestly pretending that they are
Aboriginal
people, and lying and saying that Aboriginal Indigenous People are
“Indians.” Their genealogy proves that
the “Heap Big Indians” at Red Lake, who control the Indian I.R.A.
Government
here, are descendants of non-Aboriginal people who were “packed” into
Red Lake.
The
United States Government hides behind the European
“Sovereignty” which “clothes” the Secretary of the Interior, and quotes
the
Martinez decision that “Tribes” are in charge of who is Indian and who
isn’t. But, if you research it, Indian
“Sovereignty” is also held, through their religion, by the Europeans. The Indians are European subject people:
Catholics’ Sovereignty is held by the Pope of the Holy Roman Empire,
and
Protestants’ Sovereignty is held by the Archbishop of Canterbury for
the Queen
of England. We, the Anishinabe Ojibway
people, hold our own Sovereignty, through the Clans and Dodems of the
Midewiwin. That’s why we are writing
our own history. We have to debunk all
of the trash and lies—we are not Indians.
The White man can say anything he wants to about Chippeway and
other “Indians,”
because he invented “Indians.” Although
the “Base Rolls” used for “Tribal Enrollment” were created under the
Indian
Reorganization Act, allegedly by “Indians,” these rolls came out of the
old
B.I.A. “Census Rolls,” and are still an integral part of the White
structure,
using our resources.
The
housing that’s built for the Europeans’ Indians on Red
Lake Reservation is very similar to the “settlements” on the West Bank
and Gaza
Strip. Both of them are using European
sovereignty to relocate subject peoples into somebody else’s territory
in order
to occupy it. Both of these housing
projects are paid for by Aboriginal Indigenous Peoples’ resources.
