Reflections from the Ahnishinahbæótjibway (We, the People) |
The
United States Supreme Court has ruled that the Indian
Allotment Act, passed by the United States Congress in 1888, allows
taxation of
Indian Fee Patent lands—another “get rich quick” scheme by the bankers
and
other people who are in charge of the European foreign currency, the
dollar
bill. The 1934 Indian Reorganization
Act, also passed by the United States Congress, was presented to the
White
Earth “Indians” with the representation that acceptance of this Social
Engineering Scheme would protect “Indian Allotments” from alienation. According to what the U.S. Supreme Court
just decided, the United States Government lied, again.
The
laws that the Euro-Americans have passed here have been
anarchy from the very beginning. What
they call “Laws” in Crooked English, is really blatant theft of
Aboriginal
Indigenous Peoples’ land and resources.
Even the “Indian Treaties” are not valid, because they were not
signed
with the Aboriginal Indigenous Peoples who owned the land, and who for
that
matter could not sell it, because the land is an inalienable part of
our
religion and our identity. The 1863
“Old Crossing” Treaty was not signed by the Anishinabe Ojibway People
at Red
Lake—the U.S. signed this “Treaty” with European subject people, mostly
French
Métis, and now they want to tax them.
The “Chiefs” who signed this 1863 Treaty all had European
patrilines, if
they signed at all. The other
agreements that the United States tried to make to steal Aboriginal
Indigenous
Peoples’ land are also null and void.
The Euro-Americans were signing “treaties” with themselves. All of the other laws that the U.S.
tries
to apply to “Indians” are also European laws applied to European
subject
people. “Indian” laws do not apply to
Aboriginal Indigenous People, who have never ceded our Sovereignty nor
our
land. Neither the Euro-American U.S.
Congress nor the Euro-American U.S. Supreme Court has jurisdiction—and
the
“Indian Commerce Clause” of the U.S. Constitution is apartheid which
applies
only to “Indians,” who are European subject people anyway.
Anishinabe
Ojibway land is held, jointly through the
Anishinabe Ojibway Clans and Dodems, through the Midewiwin. The Midewiwin was here long before the
Fundamentalist Christians say their world was “created,” on April 1,
4004
B.C. No matter how loudly they invoke
their genocidal religion, and holler “Under God,” Christianity does not
belong
here and has no jurisdiction here.
European and Euro-Indian people who do not have Anishinabe
Ojibway patrilineal
Clans and Dodems cannot be a part of the Anishinabe Ojibway Midewiwin. White people say, “why can’t I go into the
Midewiwin, and see what’s going on in there?”
They can’t go in there, just as these same White people can’t go
into
the Christian churches and look at the account books.
The Bishop or the Deacon will tell them that it’s none of their
business.
The
General Allotment Act is being cited for “Indians” by the
United States Supreme Court, but the Supreme Court has no jurisdiction
to make
decisions for Anishinabe Ojibway people.
This General Allotment Act was passed with genocidal intent: the
specific purpose, thoroughly discussed at the Lake Mohonk Conferences,
was to
destroy the people who signed the “Treaties.”
The United States kept such crooked books in the “Indian
Department”
that even the policy-makers, from generation to generation, did not
know what
had gone before them. The “Treaties”
were not signed with Aboriginal Indigenous People, and are therefor
null and
void—but the next generation of Euro-American thieves had been deceived
by
their own fathers and grandfathers, and thought that they were really
in a bind
with these malicious “Treaties”—which they are, but not for the reasons
that
they thought.
Greed
in the United States has not changed. The
“next generation” inherited the crooked
Treaties at that time, just as the “next generation” is going to
inherit the
Deficit now. Corporate America is the
one who looted the Treasury, and they are the ones who should pay it
back. Instead, the élite is blaming
us, trying to
collect more taxes. When I ask “where
do my taxes go,” they tell me, “it goes for roads.”
The White can keep his roads—as far as I am concerned, I don’t want
any more roads on my land. There are
too many roads here already.
The
land that is to be taxed by an alien European government
does not belong to the “Indians,” and
it does not belong to the Europeans, Euro-Americans, nor U.S.
Government,
either. If the United States Government
wants to talk “taxes,” they should be talking about the Eminent Domain
of the
Aboriginal Indigenous people here, which has never been abrogated and
cannot be
abrogated. This Continent belongs to the
Aboriginal Indigenous People, and maybe we should be talking about
“back taxes”
which the European immigrants have never even considered paying. The land and the forests here are an
inalienable part of the Aboriginal Indigenous Peoples religion and
identity. “Indian” is a weasel Catch-22
word, with
stereotypes and stigmas attached to it.
How can you make a stereotype into a “Citizen”?
In 1924, the United States made “Indians”
into “Citizens,” with all of the stereotypes, stigmas and racist labels
attached. I sure don’t want any part of
that crooked scheme. Maybe when
we didn’t understand Crooked English, the W.A.S.P.s could get away with
it, but
it’s a new ball game, now.
European
law claims that “Original Land Title” depends on
being “Civilized.” But, they’re making
up their own rules to steal. The
European immigrants have been incredibly violent since they got here,
and if
that’s “civilization,” I don’t want any part of it.
Their violence is both direct, and also by threats.
The Europeans’ “Indians” are told, “with one
stroke of the pen, you no longer exist,” and whenever “Indians” get out
of
line, the U.S. threatens termination and abrogating the Treaties. If “Indians” are cancelled by a stroke of
the pen, will they take on their European patrilineal identity, again? Will “Indians” become the French citizen
Voyageurs who disappeared after the “French-and-Indian” Wars? Ask the Englishmen who wrote Crooked
“American History.” The way that many
“Indians” have been treated, if they were the real owners of this land,
“Indians” would have an unbeatable case in World Court.
Why can’t “Indians” file genocide, human
rights violation and other charges? The
“Indians” have an Indo-European patriline, and therefor they are
European
subject people. The “Indians” are
products of colonial genetic and social engineering—and as long as they
remain
stuck in the identity of “Indian,” there isn’t anything they can do
about their
station in life.
BILL OF
RIGHTS
When
the “Bill of Rights” was written, it was written
ethnocentrically by the so-called “upper class” W.A.S.P.s.
There is also a “Bill of Lefts.” The
“Bill of Rights” was a diabolical
scheme, leaving out women, minorities, and other people.
The “Bill of Lefts” addresses what was left
out of the “Bill of Rights,” including the homeless, the unemployed,
and other
impoverished people stuck at the bottom of the Europeans’ imported
hierarchy. The Good Ol’ Boys who wrote
the Bill of Rights left out all women, even their own wives, daughters,
mistresses and illegitimate offspring.
The time has come to ratify the “Bill of Lefts,” by
Constitutional
Amendment.
“JUST SO”
STORIES AND OTHER INDIAN TALES:
The
Minneapolis Star Tribune, in the Sunday Arts and
Entertainment section, printed a movie review entitled “Last of the
Mohicans
reflects attention to historical correctness.”
They cast “Indian activist” Russell Means as the Last Mohican. Were they talking about the “Means to an
End,” or the “Final Solution,” or is it the “Final Curtain”? The reviewer says that “Means had no acting
credits.” I don’t know what he
means—Means has a lot of acting experience.
He has been posing as an “Indian leader” all of these years. He has been pretending to be an Aboriginal
Indigenous person. Russell Means must
be a pretty good actor, he fooled Joel Engel of the New York Times, who
wrote
the review.
