Reflections
from the Ahnishinahbæótjibway (We, the People)

The
Red Lake unsanitary landfill was mentioned recently in
the Minneapolis StarTribune. The
article quoted Red Lake’s professional indian environmentalist, who
cited the
Federal Code about dumping garbage, and complained that these laws are
not
enforced. These external laws were
written by Whites for the Reservation, and he complained about
“environmental
racism”—that there are no funds allocated by the U.S. Government to
maintain an
adequate dumpsite.
There
is no such race of people as “indians,” and so for
indians, racism is not the issue. There
is discrimination against indians, and to the Aboriginal Indigenous
People
whose land this is, there is racism.
This has always been a “dumping ground.” The
Europeans dumped their people, their crooked legal system,
their illegal trusteeship, and their foreign governments onto
Anishinabe
Ojibway land over which they have no legitimate jurisdiction. They have been dumping their cultural waste
for more than a century. According to
the Meriam Report, which laid the groundwork for the indian
Reorganization Act,
page 110, “Often ... an extremely low grade white, a misfit in the
economic and
social life of the white civilization, 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 Indian dwellings in the
neighborhood. Children of these unions
have frequently the handicap of both bad heredity and bad environment.” The authors of the Meriam report followed
the U.S. policy of confusing the issue by claiming that “indians” are
Aboriginal Indigenous People, and they do not explain that indians and
Whites
are the same people.
EDUCATION: There
has been much study and research done
on the problems of “indian education,” beginning in the last century
when
“education” was crooked English for destruction of Aboriginal
Indigenous
culture. Janet Lee Sullivan did a
masters’ thesis studying the educational system at Red Lake in 1972,
but she
did not define what she was studying and she chose to ignore the
differences
between the indians and the Anishinabe Ojibway.
The
early educational programs were called “assimilation,”
and tried to make Aboriginal Indigenous people into Whites, which
cannot be
done. The only way to change Aboriginal
Indigenous People into “Whites” is by genetic engineering: using White
men to
create mixed-blood people with no Dodems and White values.
I’m not talking about “racial purity”—the
child of an Anishinabe Ojibway man, no matter who the mother is, still
has an
Anishinabe Ojibway Dodem, which the woman has taken on by marriage. This is like the European women taking the
surname of their husbands. The U.S.
Government’s use of patrilineal genetic engineering is why there are so
many
different surnames among the blood quantum indians.
Blood quantum is irrelevant, and has nothing to do with whether
or not a person is an Aboriginal Indigenous person.
Now,
“indian education” programs are trying to go the other
direction, and turn White indians into a cheap imitation of Aboriginal
Indigenous people. It’s hilarious, how
foolish these indian children have been conned into acting, living out
a
vicious stereotype and projection. For
your information, you indians are helping the White man commit genocide
against
the Aboriginal Indigenous People. Clyde
Bellecourt, Roger Jourdain, Butch Brun, Earl Barlow, Ada
Deer—particularly if
you’re getting paid to maintain an indian identity, you are legally
liable for
complicity in genocide.
Part
of the paradox of Judeo-Christian culture, for the last
two thousand years, has been knowing what’s real and what isn’t. No matter how they try to redefine reality,
they can only change their illusions; they cannot change what is. Brainwashing children in school does not
work in the long term, and trying to turn White indians into
caricatures of
Aboriginal Indigenous People is child abuse.
It’s about time indians quit trying to get something for
nothing, living
out the stereotypes and waiting for “payment;” and took responsibility
for
what’s being done to their children.
It’s time to break the cycle of your illusions of being a “real
indian”—instead of stealing from the Anishinabe Ojibway people, trying
to get
something for nothing, why not find out who you really are, quit your
bullshitting, and work toward making this a better world for all of us. There are no indians here, and there never
were. The indians might fool
themselves, and their White brothers, walking around in feathers and
acting
stupid, but the Aboriginal Indigenous People see you for exactly who
you are.
I,
and all of the other Anishinabe Ojibway children of my
generation, were physically beaten in school for speaking our native
language. Now, “indian education” includes
teaching
the bad actors who are White indians how to speak the invented
chip-away
language. It can’t be done, because
there isn’t any such language as chippewa.
Why cripple these children teaching them nonsense and
hocus-pocus? Why waste all this money
teaching children
to be something that doesn’t exist, instead of teaching them the
English
language, which is their value system?
In a decent educational setting, these children will learn
English like
ducks taking to water, because they have White values and an European
heritage. Or, do the indian education
programs have a hidden agenda, because the U.S. Government will not own
up to
its violent history here, and is busy trying to create another
generation of indians
to hide the genocide and the grand land theft.
The indian education curricula are developed by Whites with
larceny in
their hearts. (If they were honest,
they would be willing to engage in dialogue, debate, discussion, or
even a rap
session—but the people in charge won’t return telephone calls.) What goes around, comes around.
RUMORS AND GRAPEVINE NEWS: The
law firm of Edwards, Edwards, and Bodin
have withdrawn their representation of the Red Lake band of chippewa
indians. To me, this sounds like rats
leaving a sinking ship. The story goes
that there were a priest, a rabbi, and a B.i.A. lawyer in a lifeboat,
after
their ship sank. There was land in
sight, but they couldn’t get there, because there were sharks circling
the
boat. The priest said, “I’ll try to get
to land, because Christ walked on water.”
When he stuck his foot in the water, the sharks came swarming at
him, so
he immediately jumped back into the boat.
The rabbi spoke up, and said, “I’ll try it, because Moses parted
the Red
Sea.” He put his foot into the water,
and the sharks all came rushing at him, so he quickly got back into the
boat. Then, the B.i.A. lawyer said,
“We’ve been at this land business a long time.
Let me go.” He got into the
water, and the sharks formed two lines at attention.
The B.i.A. lawyer swam safely to shore and got help. After they were rescued, the Rabbi and the
Priest asked the B.i.A. lawyer, “how’d you do it?”
He replied, “professional courtesy.”
