Abstract: There has been a great amount of discussion and debate about “family values” and “community” in the political arena, with each political party claiming that they know more about how to create a viable society than the other party.
From the perspective of one who was raised in my formative years in the Bear Dodem of the Ahnishinahbæó^tjibway, in an aboriginal indigenous tradition, the current “family values” debate seems a shallow farce: the policy-molders are talking only about the nuclear family, which is only a fragment of what “family” means in my tradition of egalitarian extended family and Dodem.
The Indian boarding schools and other U.S. Indian policies were created explicitly to take away the identities of the aboriginal indigenous people of this continent, and destroy our language, culture, and—most importantly—our egalitarian extended families and Dodems. At the time that I was a child, in the 1930’s, patrilineally and culturally white people who the U.S. government categorized as “Indians” were being supported by the government as agents of acculturation and social change in the remnants of the Ahnishinahbæó^tjibway community—which included promoting fragmented nuclear families. These dark-skinned, black-haired “Indians” had Western European hierarchical values and predominantly European/Moorish ancestry, but they were (and continue to be) presented to the American public, and to the world, as the “real” indigenous people.
The egalitarian Dodems of the Ahnishinahbæó^tjibway are perceived by policy-makers as a threat to the hierarchical social structure of the Western European society, who projected onto us such erroneous labels as “primitive communism,” as well as doing blatant name-calling, calling us “savages” and “pagans” to our faces, in our own land—to have some foreigner invade one’s land and then call us names is disgusting and without good manners.

The nuclear family of Western European society, and the cultural conventions such as linear time which support the nuclear family context, are, from my Ahnishinahbæó^tjibway perspective, a human rights violation and a blatant denial of the humanity of those who are caught up in this mutant and crippling social structure. In my understanding, all human beings have an innate, biological drive to associate in egalitarian extended-family groupings, which meet human needs for nurturing, cuddling, social recognition and identity, security and interaction, and generates the template for living in harmony with each other and the natural world. Western European structure thwarts these natural human needs with the nuclear family, and then maintains its fundamental hierarchical institutions (including corporations, the Church, and Western European ideologies) through sublimated redirection. Such Western European institutions and conceptual structures could not—and cannot—coexist with intact and viable Dodems and egalitarian extended families.
The human needs which are not met in the context of the nuclear family, are—although unacknowledged in the languages of Western Culture—nevertheless felt by its members as an “emptiness” or a “void,” which cries out for love and fulfillment. The formation of ghetto gangs follows the same mechanisms as the formation of corporations or the cohesion of armies: the crippled members of nuclear families adhere to the pseudo-family group and will do almost anything to retain acceptance within the group and whatever semblance of “love” that they can get. Family violence, which reflects the pathological nuclear-family structure, is carried over into the pseudo-families of the Western hierarchy in such ways as gang initiations and gang fights, as is the fundamentally misogynistic orientation of Western hierarchical tradition.
The “here today and gone tomorrow” nuclear family, which has neither continuity nor roots, replaces the functionally eternal continuity of the Dodem with a highly mobile “fly by night” mentality.

Abstract: When I talk to well-intentioned White people, some of them admit that “what my grandfather did was unfair,” but then the they add “things are different now.” The White Earth Land Settlement Act is classic United States Government boilerplate “Indian Treaty” legislation.
MORE LAND-GRAB PORK: The European immigrants went to all the trouble of stealing Anishinabe Ojibway land at White Earth, and they don’t plan on giving a single acre back. Under W.E.L.S.A. the United States Government is doing nothing more than buying time. They’re using their puppet Indian Reorganization Act government to keep the land in White hands, under crooked “Trusteeship.” The W.E.L.S.A. “gives” with one hand, and takes away again with the other. Nothing is resolved, and the land title will remain clouded. Why don’t they use the term “Indian Giver” any more?

Abstract: When the Jourdainian council here at Red Lake talked about Aboriginal Rights as a Sovereign Nation—along with Butch Brun—the question which always comes up is “why do these people claim that they are a sovereign nation, or quasi sovereign nation, and at the same time the United States calls them ‘wards of the government’ under ‘trusteeship’?” Either the Indians are lying, or the U.S. Government is lying, or they are both lying.
Treaty-making is generally considered to be done under International Law, between Sovereign Nations or Sovereign People. However, the United States Government enacted their policies regarding what they claim is “Treaty Law” regarding Indians in a sneaky way. As though they wanted to hide their shame, and sweep their misdeeds under the rug, Congress attached an obscure rider to an “Indian Appropriations Bill” on March 3, 1871, ending the United States Government’s treaty-making with “Indians.”
The “Treaties” which the European Nation-States signed with people who they claimed were “indigenous” on this continent were never Treaties signed between Sovereign people nor Sovereign Nations. The European Nation-States, including the United States, have steadfastly refused to recognize Aboriginal Indigenous Nations existence here, let alone our inherent and inalienable title to our own land and resources. This particular strategy of refusing to recognize the reality of non-European Nations owning their own land has been a cornerstone of colonialism for as long as the Europeans have been marauding around the world, “discovering” other peoples’ land.
The original intent of the so-called “Indian Treaties,” under European concepts of law, was the transfer of European “Title” (to land and resources which the Europeans did not own) from European to European. The “Indian treaties” were signed with the “Hang-Around-The-Fort-Indians.” (These “Indians” were hanging around the forts, looking for their White biological fathers. The Europeans held their Sovereignty.)
In the mid-1960’s, during the Civil Rights Movement, the “Indians” who identified with mainstream White goals and values were called by their own half-breed brothers, “Sell-Outs.” Now, the children and grandchildren of these Indians are calling themselves “Sovereign Nations,” and are gearing up to sign some more papers, although this time they’re saying they’re “accords” or “agreements.”
For more than a century, the United States has been calling the “Indians” the “Vanishing American.” (In the last century, the policy-makers of the Lake Mohonk Conference were gloating and orating about the soon-to-be non-existence of the “party of the first part,” meaning the “Indians,” and thereby the release of the United States Government from Treaty obligations.) The “Indians” are kept on a tightrope, and both they and the American public are being told that they are on the verge of either “termination” or “extinction.”
On one hand, the “Indians” are kept in the identity of being “Indians,” because under the social engineering of the Indian identity, they are led to believe that being a “real Indian” means hating white people—although their own biological fathers are White.
On the other hand, the “Indians” are strung along with that old carrot-on-the-stick of “payment, you’re gonna be rich some day.” The U.S. is going to abrogate the treaties, because they are crooked. As soon as it’s politically feasible, they are also going to do what they have been promising to do for the last hundred years: terminate the “Indian.” The “Indians” have been threatened with a “stroke of the pen” for many decades, but technology is catching up with them—it will be with a bottle of “White Out.”
ATTORNEY GENERAL: It’s been reported from the Senate Confirmation hearings for that Zoe Baird hired an “illegal alien” couple from Peru as household servants. It should have been written that European immigrant Zoe Baird hired an couple with Aboriginal Indigenous ancestry from Peru. The media has taken the whole issue off in a different direction. But, get serious here: what point is there is paying Social Security to people who are expected to leave the United States? They can’t file a claim here. Zoe Baird may have been ripping them off—but now that’s she’s paid their Social Security Taxes, it’s just money from her to the Government, and these people will never see it. When the immigration officials get ahold of her, she will have to pay some more money ... that’s business as usual in Washington. Illegal aliens have been over here since 1492, ripping off, anyway.

3994. Wub-e-ke-niew [Blake, F., Jr. (Wah-be-ge-niew)]. (1991 April). Reflections from Indian Country: Since 1958, when the Indo-European Indians brought the United States ... Ojibwe News.
Abstract: Since 1958, when the Indo-European Indians brought the United States Government 1934 Indian Reorganization Act onto Anishinabe Ojibway Country at Red Lake, our Anishinabe Ojibway forests have been decimated by the U.S. Government’s Indians. Our entire permaculture that we kept intact and beautiful for hundreds of thousands of years has been destroyed by 33 years of steady clear-cutting since the I.R.A. was brought in. The Indians have gotten jobs and money from the demolition of resources which do not belong to them; the Aboriginal Indigenous people have not benefited at all. What were beautiful forests with plentiful game fifty years ago, now look like a war zone. European Indians who have a desert-and-camel mentality have destroyed the entire forest. In the clear-cutting, what do we expect to give our children? In a clear-cut Ojibway land, our children and grandchildren have nothing to look forward to; we the Anishinabe Ojibway have nothing to give to them.
The complaints by the Anishinabe Ojibway about the clear-cutting and the genocide has been an unheard voice in Washington, D.C. where the decisions are made. Environmental destruction and genocide are on the agenda of Indo-Europeans all over the world.
There are two distinct sets of people here on this land. Indians were brought in by the U.S. to replace the Aboriginal Indigenous people who were killed in the genocide. Indians are Indo-European people; they are Whites with some Moorish ancestry who are kept out of W.A.S.P. society because of racism and competing theocratic empires. At the Lake Mohonk Conference, the Protestant Christian Clergy decided that these Catholic Moors should not become a part of the mainstream, so they made them into “Indians” and “Squaw men,” and the Indian Reservations became dumping grounds for the W.A.S.P.’s castoffs and misfits. The “melting pot” is really social and genetic engineering, because only certain people get into the “kettle” of the American Mainstream.
Some Moorish people were involuntarily “made into Indians.” After it became obvious that there was money to be made from the theft of Indigenous peoples’ lands, some Indo-Europeans bought their way onto the “tribal rolls.” Some were “adopted” by the Bureau of Indian Affairs. These Indo-Europeans who were adopted or “enrolled” into the European-made Indian Tribes and Indian) Bands—the descendents of these people are the people who are adopting and fostering out the Aboriginal Indigenous people of the Anishinabe Ojibway Clans under the Indian Child Welfare Act. The Anishinabe Ojibway children are NOT Indians.
The “mixed-blood” Moors who are clear-cutting Aboriginal Indigenous peoples’ forests are descendents of Arabs and North Africans, who got into Southern Europe under Moorish conquest. The Spanish Moors and the Portuguese Moors are presently in Brazil, clear-cutting the Aboriginal Indigenous people’s rain forest in the Amazon Basin. The French Moors are presently in the Northwoods, clear-cutting the Aboriginal Indigenous people’s forests right here. The desert mentality is in their blood; their ancestors who clear-cut the Sahara Forest and made it into the Sahara Desert. And now they are over here, making our forests into deserts. It seems like they won’t be happy until they create another desert. It looks like they want sand dunes and camels in the former Northwoods. If they want desert, why don’t they go back to the Sahara where they came from?
There have been several moves to abolish the Bureau of Indian Affairs because of corruption. In investigating the corruption and graft of the B.I.A—which has been part of the Bureau since it’s inception—they might as well also investigate who is “Indian.” It seems like anybody can become an Indian. In researching the genealogy in Red Lake, and the history of these two continents, I fail to find any Indians or “Chippewas” here or anyplace else (except maybe in Indian) until the White man created their identity as he pillaged and plundered across our Continent. There aren’t any Indians in the Aboriginal Indigenous peoples’ Traditional genealogy, nor in the Traditional Oral history. The Indians first show up in the Indo-Europeans’ records as they came with the White man. Everybody remembers the Boston Tea Party, where Whites dressed up as Indians. Go and research it, you will find the same thing that I am writing about. When I ask the Bureau of Indian Affairs for some of their genealogical records, they say “it is confidential, and nobody can see it.” I can understand why they want it to be confidential. In White Earth and in Red Lake, in doing the genealogy and the background of these people, we find most of the “Federally Recognized Indians” are Indo-European, and have no Aboriginal Indigenous ancestors at all. With one stroke of the pen, anybody can become an “Indian,” that’s why the Indian population is increasing far faster than the Indian birthrate. When the U.S. no longer needs Indians, “one stroke of the pen” and historians will say, “Indians never existed” (and be speaking the truth for once). But, there are still Aboriginal Indigenous people here, neither created nor destroyed by Indo-Europeans’ pens; we are not Indians.
While we are writing about the desert, the dust hasn’t settled from Desert Storm yet, either. The Oil Baron might have defeated the Oil Sheik, but wait until the dust from the Desert Storm settles on the Petro-gon. The bombing runs “under U.N. sanctions” created two thousand years of hatred, and covering up the destruction done by United States/British bombs by inciting a civil war (just as was done in Viet Nam) won’t obliterate the memories of Arabic human beings who were under the bombs.
If you are into Machiavellian European thought, into the sadistic-masochistic infrastructure of hierarchical societies, thirty-two nations ganging up on one third-world nation under the banner of a World organization supposed to promote Peace, maybe you enjoy the S & M. On a lower level of the very same hierarchy, where were 21 Los Angeles Police brutalizing and dog-piling one Black man. This is not “police brutality,” these are Indo-European Terrorist acts in the context of the violence that they need to govern. Around the world everything is unstable, and in chaos, and full of hatred. That’s the only way the Englishmen and other Indo-Europeans can govern; they have to create instability and factions. Their past history proves it; they have used the same pattern for five thousand years. If that isn’t an S & M mentality, I don’t know what is. If you’re into S & M and enjoy it, that’s your problem. But you can’t keep on beating people up, and expect them to love you. There is an alternative to this hierarchical violence; there has to be a different real peace around the world. There has to be a different definition of “Civilization.” War-Peace the Indo-European way is a clever short-term scheme, an endless cycle of violence because their “peace” comes only at a high and enslaving price that can’t be paid. Indo-European “peace” only leads to continual war, violence only creates more violence.
War is a very childish mentality and it is used to steal form other people. It was designed by people who had already destroyed their own resources, to steal from other Peoples who took care of what they were given by the Great Creator.

3995. Wub-e-ke-niew [Blake, F., Jr. (Wah-be-ge-niew)]. (1991 January). Reflections from the Ojibway Nation: Letter to the Secretary of the Interior. Ojibwe News.
Abstract: This is to inform you that I want my name removed from the basic membership, identification and enrollment lists of your “Red Lake Band of Chippewa Indians.” I will no longer be identified by your racist term of “Indian.” I am not an “Indian,” I am not a “Chippewa,” and I am not a “Native American.” These words are all European terms using Crooked English. I am Anishinabe Ojibway. My father was Anishinabe Ojibway, and all of his patrilineal ancestors were Anishinabe Ojibway, going back for hundreds of millennia. Every one of his ancestors were Aboriginal Indigenous people of these two Continents. I am of the Anishinabe Ojibway Midewiwin, and as you know quite well, the Indigenous governments of this continent are, and always have been, theocracies. The land is held jointly by the Clans of the Midewiwin, and every Aboriginal Indigenous person of the Clans is Sovereign. The land is not, and never has been, held “in common,” nor has it ever belonged to “Indians,” as the United States Government continues to falsely claim. The only Indigenous Indian people that I know of are from India. The Christian Democracies of the Indo-Europeans have criticized Aboriginal Indigenous peoples’ egalitarian theocracies, although they themselves are an hierarchial theocracy, with their Sovereignty held by the Queen of England, the Archbishop of Canterbury, and/or the Pope. They criticize us because their agenda is world conquest; and as such they are structurally incapable of co-existence with anybody else, even with themselves or with their own blood relations the people of the Muslim Nations. This is because of their mental illness of Greed.
In studying the history of my own people, as well as the history of the European people, I find that there are tens of thousands of Indo-Europeans claiming to be “Indian,” claiming to have Aboriginal rights and title. Maybe they have Aboriginal rights and title to Europe, to North Africa, or to the Middle East, but not here. All of the people that the Indo-Europeans recognized as “Chiefs, virtually all of the “Indians” who are on the “Band Councils” and “Tribal Councils” created by the Indian Reorganization Act [unilateral legislation by the United States Congress in 1934] are people of Indo-European descent. It seems that according to the United States Government, just about anybody can be an “Inbeing one. However, these Indo-European “Indians” are falsely claiming to be Aboriginal Indigenous people, and have been trying to steal our land, our Aboriginal rights, our identity, our religion, and even our names by pretending that the Anishinabe Ojibway and other Aboriginal Indigenous people are also “Indians.” This has been happening since before the Boston Tea Party. There were no Indians on either of these two continents until the Europeans got here and invented them. Then, all of a sudden, the instant Indians got “governmentally recognized” title to Anishinabe Ojibway and other Aboriginal Indigenous peoples’ land. How did these Indians get title to our land? There were no Indians here until the Europeans got here with their boats. They must be boat people like the Europeans are. The only Aboriginal Indigenous Indians are from India, and most of them are still over there.
The Constitution of the United States mentions their “Indians” as “not taxed” and thus without representation. The Declaration of Independence calls their Indians “merciless savages.” The Indian people that the Europeans invented were a scapegoat, labelled “lazy,” “drunken,” “warlike,” etc. These labels were used to discredit the real Aboriginal Indigenous people, so that the Europeans could justify to themselves blatantly trying to steal two continents. Such derogatory labels are the inventions of the Indo-European; these racist stereotypes are projections from guilty Indo-European psyches, and have been used everywhere the Indo-Europeans have had colonies as a Christian “justification” for stealing land and oppressing people. Christian “original sin” is an ancient tactic for blaming the victims of oppression.
United States history is full of what unilaterally written history books call “Indian wars.” This term “Indian wars” is also a projection; they were really European wars. The Indo-Europeans were greedily fighting each other (as well as annihilating Aboriginal Indigenous people), European against European fighting over who got to steal the most, like a pack of hungry dogs. The people of European, Mediterranean and African ancestry who the U.S. called “Indians” were undoubtedly involved in wars. However, the Aboriginal Indigenous people of these Continents have never been a warlike people; it was inconceivable to us that human beings could act like the Indo-Europeans have: greedy, dishonest, violent, hierarchial and without any manners. After the “Indians” that the Indo-Europeans created signed Treaties—with their fellow countrymen of France, England, etc.—to sell land and resources that did not belong to them, then these “Indians” were drafted to fight in more wars. (There is a word in the Ojibway language for this kind of violent insanity.) The Indo-Europeans are still involved in wars over somebody else’s land; wars to steal and plunder, wars to subjugate, wars of world conquest. They will always be involved in wars until they become civilized, until they start coping with their mental illnesses of greed and pathological lying. It doesn’t have to be like this, violence is not an inherent human characteristic. If the pns would not have been able to land their boats, and there certainly would not have been abundant resources left to steal. Violence and war may indeed be intrinsic to hierarchial structures; it seems as though Indo-Europeans have been brainwashed to be greedy and warlike, so that their “upper class” can live in parasitic luxury. I have experienced these brainwashing attempts first-hand under the Indo-European compulsory school-education laws unilaterally and illegally applied to Aboriginal Indigenous people to allegedly “civilize” us. Some of my people succumbed to this violent brainwashing, and got trapped into the identity of “Indian.” This is a bitter White false identity, filled with “White lies.” Every day the Catholic Nuns would tell us “you are the ‘vanishing American,’ and you will go.”
In July of 1889, the Minnesota Chippewa Commission was on my land to “negotiate” an Act of Congress which had already been unilaterally legislated, and then amended five times, the Act of January 14 1889: “An Act for the Relief and Civilization of the Chippewa Indians in the State of Minnesota.” [The title of this Act is Crooked English, as usual: what “relief” meant was “relieve of land and resources,” and “civilization” meant genocide.] In their letter to the President of the United States on January 30, 1890, the Department of the Interior endorsed this particular racist and dishonest unilateral Act of Congress, “it is hoped that this agreement will furnish a basis for its early and final solution.” Adolf Hitler got this concept of “final solution” from the British-Americans and the British-Canadians, from the British Empire and the Holy Roman Empire however you want to categorize these Indo-Europeans. Hitler studied the Christian ideas of world conquest, and emulated them in his building of the Third Reich. Hitler was Democratically elected by Christians, and the Nazi political party was supported by the Christian Church; and then you had the Holocaust, not only of Jewish people but also of Indigenous Slavic people, Gypsies, and others. The Nazi Holocaust was not unique; there is a Holocaust on these two Continents, and where ever the Indo-European has gone. These Holocausts continue, and they are kept quiet just as the Nazis kept theirs hideous agenda quiet.
The people who signed the Treaties and the subsequent “Agreements” were of Indo-European descent on both sides of the negotiation process: the French, the British, the Yankees and the Canadians were making fraudulent agreements with their own fellow Indo-Europeans. (It’s the same way with the present-day Indian Claims Commission: the U.S.A. is trying to “close the books” on their fraudulent thefts of their past—but they are still “negotiating” Indo-European with Indo-European.) The Aboriginal Indigenous people of these Continents have not had a part in any of these negotiations, because we cannot and will not “sell” our land—the land is sacred to us and cannot possibly be sold. The United States and the rest of the Indo-Europeans can use all of the Crooked English that they want, this is not their land and lying about it won’t make it so.
The original Treaties were “negotiated” between two Indo-European parties in foreign languages like English and French; the people who signed the Treaties for both sides were Indo-Europeans citizens, and that’s why Treaty settlements like the one in Wisconsin was handled in the lower courts; nothing has changed and the Indo-Europeans still have both sides of the crooked “Treaty.” This is also how the U.S.A. can claim “plenary power” over the Indian Treaties—Indo-Europeans have always held their Indians’ Sovereignty. However, they have never held the Sovereignty of the Aboriginal Indigenous people of these continents, and they still do not. The “Indians” were Indo-European citizens when they got off the boats here, and yet in 1924 the United States passed an Act of Congress to make these Indo-European Indian people Citizens of the United States. The Indians were already citizens of the United States. The U.S. made these Indians citizens twice, maybe that’s why they’re second-class citizens. In their greed, the United States Congress also inadvertently made all of India’s people citizens. There are almost a billion people over in India, who have a loophole through the immigration process because they are already citizens. These millions of real Indians could vote everybody out of Congress, and repeal the U.S. Congress’ intolerant legislation about Indian religion, as well as all of the rest of the Indian Jim Crow and Apartheid laws.
Even though the theft of these continents depends on Indians, they are kept in the lower classes. They are legislated to be “born losers,” ethnic minorities in a racist society. Although they are Indo-European, most of them are not pure-blooded White Anglo-Saxon Protestants of the upper class, and under the Good Old Boy Network, the gerrymander lines are drawn to keep them in their place. After 100 years, they are still Trustys in the P.O.W. camps unilaterally and illegally placed on Aboriginal Indigenous Peoples’ lands and called “Indian Reservations.” But, I am not an Indian, I have never even been to India. I am an Anishinabe Ojibway. The Indo-Europeans knew the name of my great-grandparents’ Nation perfectly well when, with larceny in their hearts, they “negotiated a Treaty” with Indo-European Indians.
This whole “Indian” identity is a fraudulent scheme. (It is also quite painful for the people who are trapped into an Indian identity.) The Indo-Europeans know perfectly well that “Indians” are not a distinct race of people, although they draw attention away from the dishonest way that they tried to steal this land by talking about the “Bering Strait Theory” instead of admitting that “Indians” came over on the same boats as the rest of the Indo-Europeans. I cannot in good conscience allow myself to be erroneously identified as an “Indian,” to have any part of this fraud. The British Empire and their cronies and heirs created Indians, and when they have finished using Indians to dispossess and destroy the Aboriginal Indigenous people of these continents, they will terminate the Indians; they will be discarded onto the bottom of the hierarchy as cheap labor, cannon fodder, ... and living projections of “lazy,” “criminal,” “drunk,” etcetera ad nauseam will continue European upper class needs the homeless, the drunks, the prison inmates, the panhandlers and the derelicts on Skid Road, as a threat and example to keep the rest of their subjects under control, regimented into being mechanical men so that the privileged can live in parasitic luxury. An hierarchial class system has to have people suffering on the bottom of the hierarchy, as a visible reminder of what happens to dissidents. The world doesn’t have to be inhumane. Crooked social engineering and civilization are two entirely different things.
The Red Lake “Tribal” Code, obviously written either by a Philadelphia Lawyer or by an old Nazi in the Department of the Interior, makes this clear in the Definition Section about “Persons or Indians.” Indians are defined as non-persons; they are an invention of the Indo-Europeans and are under Indo-European sovereignty; owned by them. Maybe the reason that Indians are not recognized as human beings by the Indo-Europeans is that the Indo-Europeans created their identity and has been using them to commit genocide. No matter what, they are human being—but they are definitely Indo-European human beings.
The United States Government unilaterally applied the 1889 Agreement and volumes of other legislation and regulation to the Indians they had invented, to “civilize” them. We see that European culture is a deformed culture; they call it “civilization,” and if this is Civilization I cannot in good conscience be a part of it. We would like to propose a program for the treatment of the mental illness called in English “greed.” Almost every Indo-European I know, including most of your Indians, is seriously ill with greed. These Indians that the Europeans created are virtually identical to the Indo-Europeans themselves; they have the same value system, same religion, same culture, same kinds of thinking. So-called “Indian religion” is not the Aboriginal Indigenous religion of this continent. The only Indian religions I know of are Hindu, Moslem, Sikh, Jain, etc. The “Indian Medicine Men” touted by the media are Indo-Europeans, who may have taken some of the surface artifacts of our Aboriginal Indigenous religion, but don’t know anything about most of it. If they have an “Indian name,” it’s either a made-up one, or one that was stolen from an Aboriginal Indigenous person; Aboriginal Indigenous people are named only through the Midewiwin or other truly Aboriginal Indigenous manifestations of our religion.
If I continue to allow myself to be falsely identified as “Indian” I am guilty of complacency and conspiracy; I want no part whatsoever of the fraudulent Indians that the United States Government is still using to destroy the legitimate Aboriginal Indigenous people of these two Continents. I cannot possibly be Indian and Anishinabe Ojibway at the same time, only Indo-Europeans know how to speak with forked tongue in Crooked English. I wipe my hands clean of being identified in the same category as those who are contributing to ongoing genocide, dispossession and destruction of my own people and my own Traditional Aboriginal Indigenous culture. I sending my “Indian Identity Card” by certified mail to the Supreme Court. I am turning it in as a false document issued with felonious and genocidal intent by the United States Government in collusion with their colonial Indian Reorganization Act “Tribal Councils.”
The Indo-European Good Old Boys who run Beltrami County and the State of Minnesota have been trying to take the Red Lake Indian Reservation for a hundred years. If they want the Red Lake Indian Reservation that bad, we’ll FAX the whole thing, in its entirety (apartheid laws and everything else that legitimately under Aboriginal Indigenous Law belongs to an Indian Reservation) to them—but the land, the resources, the Aboriginal Rights, and the Traditional Aboriginal Indigenous people stay right here, an inherent part of this Anishinabe Ojibway Nation, right here where our people have always been. They can put the Reservation on Callihan Avenue in the City of Bemidji if they want it so bad—we’ll even send them, C.O.D. Express, the “Arches” at the Indo-European drawn line in the middle of our land. We’ll be glad to get this P.O.W. camp out of our heartland. If they insist on having it on Indian land, they can talk to the real Indian people in New Delhi about putting it in India.
Because of the racism and greed embedded in Indo-European culture, because of their complete lack of understanding of what Civilization means, the Indo-Europeans have consistently refused to recognize the Sovereignty, Aboriginal Indigenous land title, and legitimacy of Aboriginal Indigenous people. That’s the Indo-Europeans’ problem. From our perspective, civilization is not unbridled greed, it is not stealing peoples’ children and brainwashing them, it is not world conquest, it is not oppression and hierarchies, and it is not violence. The Indo-Europeans have abused “civilization” in their Crooked English to justify a parasitic relationship with Aboriginal Indigenous people as hosts. They have been trying to say that “civilization” is stealing peoples’ identity and brainwashing and terrorizing them into becoming something that they are not. There are so many people who could contribute to all humankind, and their talent is being wasted because of Indo-European greed. This could be a good community, instead of in turmoil. Violence and upheaval are a necessary part of the Indo-Europeans’ way of government; a symptom of a sick society; a Machiavellian means of destabilizing a society so that the privileged can live in luxury. Greed is a mental illness. If you want to see just one aspect of Indo-European greed, all a person has to do is look at the land: the way we kept it and the way it is now. The uncivilized Indo-Europeans are always at war: at war with somebody else or at war with the environment, with the very Earth that we all depend on. The mental illness of greed must be dealt with, before we can go on any further.
I have discussed this matter with my daughter, Valerie Lynn Blake, and she asked that her name be removed from the basic membership, identification and enrollment lists of the Red Lake Band of Chippewa Indians along with mine.
I am not Indian, I am not Chippewa, and I am not Native American. These arealso racist Indo-European terms. They are derogatory, and they are uncalled-for insults. I am Anishinabe Ojibway of the Anishinabe Ojibway Nations. The heartland of my peoples Sovereign Aboriginal Indigenous Nation is located right here, on the shores of what the French mis-identified as “Lac Rouge” and the British, British-Canadians and British-Americans mis-identified as “Red Lake.”

3996. Wub-e-ke-niew [Blake, F., Jr. (Wub-e-ge-niew)]. (1991 May). Reflections from Anishinabe Ojibway Country: Hate groups and racism were written about in the April 28 issue of Parade ... Ojibwe News.
Abstract: Hate groups and racism were written about in the April 28 issue of Parade, distributed by the Duluth News-Tribune. Racism has been promoted, hidden, and addressed all over the country. The hate groups that promote racism have as role models groups controlled by the United States Government. The Bureau of Indian Affairs is a role model for hate groups like the Ku Klux Klan.
The United States Government has actively promoted hate against both “Indians” and Aboriginal Indigenous People since the signing of the Declaration of Independence. The “merciless Savages” are Indo-European projections of themselves—for example the racist, merciless savage bombing of Iraq and Viet Nam (using Aboriginal Indigenous Peoples’ stolen resources to do it). Another example is racist social and genetic engineering, used to create, on the Aboriginal Indigenous Peoples’ Continents, societies which reflect the which reflect the values of the Indo-European People.
Compulsory school education is social engineering. Throughout the 1800’s, the Bureau of Indian Affairs openly said that compulsory school education was necessary to destroy Aboriginal Indigenous culture, and “civilize” us. When Indo-European education was first brought into Aboriginal Indigenous communities, the few of our children who (voluntarily) were in school caught on quickly, understanding Indo-European culture and learning to read and write. It would never work to have Aboriginal Indigenous People, and even Indians, able to read and write the crooked English of the fraudulent Treaties. At Red Lake, no Anishinabe Ojibway People from here signed the Treaty; only European-created “Indians” signed it; it was not “Indian land” they were signing to sell. People of the Midewiwin (the Aboriginal Indigenous religion) cannot sell land. The Indo-European knew this; that’s why he created Indians to “sell” him this Continent.
Governor Ramsey of Minnesota foresaw the problems that Anishinabe Ojibway People who were literate in English would create in his plans of Empire-building. In 1852, Ramsey issued an executive order abolishing the literary and religious schools, and replaced them with manual training schools and the “manual-labor system.” This executive order helped create the many facets of the Red Lake Factor, which need to be addressed and talked about. If this order had ever been rescinded, White teachers wouldn’t be teaching a second-rate, low class curriculum in Red Lake; instead our children would be learning Political Science, Physics, Chemistry and the Philosophy of Linear Thinking and Crooked English from Aboriginal Indigenous teachers. But, they are taught about a “Chippewa Indian” culture which is a caricature and a parody of the Aboriginal Indigenous culture. If they make it through twelve years of school, they end up with a shoddy, low-class eighth-grade education, and are taught by White teachers with a colonial mentality who don’t live here. These “teachers” commute into the concentration camp called a “reservation” to teach our children hostility, anger directed at themselves, and low self-esteem. Governor Ramsey’s order, and the Red Lake Factor, need to be abolished.
One of the Red Lake Factors is that the school superintendent (and the State of Minnesota which supervises him—colonialism) have all of the power over the school policy and administration. The school board (which is elected) is a rubber-stamp, and has no authority at all.
Another facet of the Red Lake Factor is the 1934 I.R.A. Chippewa Indian “Tribal Council.” Indo-Europeans have been made into “Indians” to replace the Aboriginal Indigenous People. The racist White Supremacist Bureau of Indian Affairs has programs for the Indians. The White B.I.A. bureaucrats take the laws written by the Indo-European U.S. Congress, interpret them with hate-group thinking, and use them to change the identity of the Aboriginal Indigenous People and make them into Indians. The only programs that the Bureau of Indian Affairs has for the Aboriginal Indigenous People are compulsory school education, the jails and the courts, and adoption and “foster care” to take Aboriginal Indigenous children out of our community. These are all social engineering coming out of a hate-group; the Geneva Convention calls this genocide.
Under International Law, the B.I.A. really has no jurisdiction over Aboriginal Indigenous People; we are still Sovereign. This is Aboriginal Indigenous Peoples’ land. This is not Indian land. The Indians, who were created by the Indo-Europeans, are not Sovereign. The Indian Sovereignty that is used to issue passports, etc., is Indo-European Sovereignty, created under Roman and English law. Title 25 of the U.S. Code—so-called “Indian Law” is named in Crooked English and came out of English and other Indo-European law.
If a person has a White grandfather or a White father, they automatically become an “Indian,” and their Sovereignty is held by the Indo-Europeans—as planned. The Indian Scouts who were conscripted to lead the Cavalry against their mother’s People had lost their Sovereignty through the Indo-European colonization strategy of White men creating mixed-blood children. This genetic engineering has been used by Indo-Europeans all over the world; against themselves in shifting their class system and national boundaries; against other empires such as the Chinese; and against Aboriginal Indigenous People on every continent. The Aboriginal Indigenous Peoples’ Clan system is Patrilineal: a person gets their Clan and their Dodem from their father. When an Aboriginal woman marries a White man, she loses her Clan, and her children are Metis whose Sovereignty is held by the Indo-Europeans. That’s why the racist hate group, the Bureau of Indian Affairs, is so anxious to change Aboriginal Indigenous People into Indians. Read Title 25—the Lawyer’s edition with the annotations. According to United States Statutes, the person who holds “Indian Sovereignty” is the Secretary of the Interior—he is “cloaked with” it.
This is another facet of the Red Lake Factor, written in Crooked English in Title 25 and other U.S. Statutes, Executive Orders, Court Decisions, Papal Bulls, and other racist hate and colonial legislation. (Colonialism is created by a hate group—the people who create and benefit from colonies are a role model for the K.K.K., the Nazis and other racist hate groups.)
Indo-European society depends on a hierarchy. Social hierarchy means that some people steal the Sovereignty and resources of everybody else below them on this artificial ranking system. For the people at the top, it is anarchy—there are no laws to govern them and they are not accountable for the terrible crimes that they commit. Racism, and other types of discrimination, are necessary to keep this hierarchy going. The racism on the lower levels, for example Stop Treaty Abuse, the Skinheads, the Aryans, etc. all come out of this racist Indo-European hierarchy, under orders from the people at the top. Racism is a necessary part of this system, and it’s here to stay. Johnny can’t read or write because the people at the top don’t want Johnny to understand this crooked system, nor be able to defend himself against it. This is only part of the many facets of the racist Red Lake Factor.

3997. Wub-e-ke-niew [Blake, F., Jr. (Wub-e-ke-niew)]. (1992 July). Cross burning is diversionary tactic.
Abstract: To the Editor:
The Christian Patriots League and other Christian Fundamentalist Leaders seem ready to drape themselves in patriotism and seize the issue of flag-burning. It’s surprising that they haven’t raised a hue and cry about burning their own sacred symbol, the cross. Seems like it’s alright with them to burn a cross in public. But, there is a law on the St. Paul books about burning trash. If cross-burners were arrested for littering and dumping on other peoples’ property, and burning trash without a permit, the charges would be Constitutional.
Robert Viktora, the “white separatist” and White Supremacist alleged to have burned a cross in St. Paul two years ago, is quoted in the Minneapolis Star Tribune as saying that White people should live apart from other races. White people already have their own land, and their own Nations, in Europe. This Continent belongs, and has always belonged, to the Aboriginal Indigenous People (not “Indians” invented by the European colonizers who gave their “Indians” stereotyped labels and a racist identity). Talking about White separatist communities on somebody else’s land is the height of arrogance, or ignorance, especially when the European immigrants don’t have any roots here, nor own their own identity on this land. The wanna-be White Aryans should scrutinize their own history and their genealogy, and find out why their ancestors were kicked out of the White nations they once had in Europe. (Many of these Lily-Whites were forcibly deported from White Europe because they had “tainted blood” from the Moorish and Tartar occupations.) Instead of adding further to the enormous social problems the European refugees have brought onto somebody else’s land, why not face the truth, and work to create a harmonious communities among all the diverse peoples who are now here? The twisted dream of White Aryan Supremacy vanished with the greedy “Divine Mandate” of Manifest Destiny.
Cross-burning is a diversionary tactic. What we need is political parity and economic security for all of the people; not just for the W.A.S.P.s, but for everybody. If White historians are going to claim that the U.S. Constitution has roots in the Iroquois Confederacy, then they had better live up to the standards of that Aboriginal Indigenous concept.

Minneapolis Star Tribune
425 Portland Ave.
Minneapolis, MN 55488

Dear Mr. Klobuchar,
This letter follows up our conversation just before you went to Alaska; you requested that we write a letter summarizing what we were trying to tell you.
What we are saying is that the history that the United States is operating under, is seriously distorted. We are, also saying that the vast majority of people who claim to be “Indians” are an entirely different group of people than the Aboriginal Indigenous People who were here before the Europeans got here. There is no word “Chippewa,” nor “Indian” in the Anishinabe Ojibway language. There were no “Chippewa Indians” here, in Ojibway Country, before the Europeans got here. We can prove—we have done the research, and would be glad to show it to you if you want to come look at it—that out of the approximately 8,000 “Chippewa Indians” on the Red Lake rolls, for example, only about 300 of them are actually Anishinabe Ojibway People. The rest of them are either Metis (mixed-bloods), or they are 100% Indo-European/African in ancestry. The problem is not that they are who they are, but that they are pretending to be somebody that they are not—they are trying to be Aboriginal Indigenous People; in order to hide the genocide of the real Aboriginal Indigenous peoples.
For the Anishinabe Ojibway People, the line of inheritance is through the father—patrilineal just like the British, the French, and other cultures where the woman takes the man’s name and the children enter their father’s patriline. For the Anishinabe Ojibway People, the land is held jointly, through the Clans and Dodems, which are patrilineal. The Chippewa Indians, on the other hand, have matrilineal (passed through the mother’s line) clans—because on the patrilineal side, they are White people. Ojibway people are matriarchal—the political power is ultimately held by women—but inheritance of the Clans and Dodems is patrilineal, and our residence is patrilocal.
These distinctions are important, for several reasons. One of these is “sovereignty.” Anishinabe Ojibway Sovereignty has never been ceded [the people who signed the Treaties were Metis people, whose Sovereignty was already held by the Europeans]. Chippewa Indian Sovereignty, is, and always has been held by the Whites [ultimately, through the Christian Church—from an Anishinabe Ojibway perspective, the Whites’ Church and State are not separate]. Specifically, in relation to “Indian gaming” and suchlike, the Sovereignty which is being used is the delegated Sovereignty of the Secretary of the Interior of the United States, who is “clothed with Sovereign immunity arising from various United States court decisions arising from United States Code, Title 25, Section 463, for example. This does not have anything to do with Aboriginal Indigenous Peoples Sovereignty—and the various Indian Gaming operations benefit the White “Indians,” not the Aboriginal Indigenous People, anyway. Anishinabe Ojibway Sovereignty is held jointly [not “in common”] by all of the Anishinabe Ojibway people, through the Midewiwin religion, through the Clans and Dodems. The land is sacred for the Anishinabe Ojibway people; it cannot be sold, it is an inseparable part of our identity and our religion. This was explained to Alexander Ramsey and the other Treaty negotiators during the 1863 “Red Lake and Pembina” Treaty, for example. The Anishinabe Ojibway people said, “Grandfather [our religion] says we cannot sell [Grandmother Earth].” The Chippewa Indians—at that time mostly French, French-Moorish, and French Metis people—are the ones who signed that “Treaty.” They did not have any Sovereignty (some of them were drafted to fight in the U.S. Civil War; some of them were veterans from other White man’s wars; at least one and probably several of the “Chiefs” created by the White men were old “Indian Scouts” who were a part of systematically destroying the Aboriginal Indigenous Peoples). Furthermore, the Chippewa Indians did not own the land that was allegedly “ceded.” This is one of the reasons that the U.S.A. has a vested interest in keeping “Indians,” by maintaining the fiction that Chippewa Indians are Aboriginal Indigenous Peoples, time is bought for the fraudulent Treaties (on which the U.S.’ “title” to the land rests).
There are a couple of other big reasons why it’s in the best interests of the United States to maintain the fiction of “their Indians.” One of them: genocide. We figure that the pre-Colombian Aboriginal Indigenous population of Red Lake’s original land area was several million people. The first decimation of our people came before the White people got this far inland: bubonic plague, the first of many smallpox epidemics, and all of the other diseases that the Europeans brought to this Continent. Then, for 200 years, the Europeans were here, as a part of the fur trade, as part of a number of military and “exploring” expeditions, then as settlers—directly killing Aboriginal Indigenous people. (The State of Minnesota had a bounty on scalps until the 1870’s.) It was not until after Adolf Hitler’s rise to power in Germany, that the United States began seriously re-working their openly stated policy of genocide of Aboriginal Indigenous peoples on this Continent.

Abstract: Minneapolis Star Tribune

Staff Writer
Euro-American scientists claim that “Indians” came over the Bering Strait. The European immigrants can say anything that they want to about “Indians,” because the Indians which have filled the media in preparation for Columbus Day are European mythology, an invented identity applied to European subject people. “Indians” are not the Aboriginal Indigenous People of this Continent. The people living out the “Indian” stereotype identity have European or Indo-European patrilineal ancestry. It would be more accurate to say that the great-grandfathers of the “Indians” came across the Atlantic, many of them below-decks as indentured servants. There were no “Indians” here until the Europeans came here, and through genetic engineering, factual revisionism and fantastic lies, created “Indians.” There is no word for “Indian” or “Chippewa” in the Anishinabe Ojibway language.
The Aboriginal Indigenous People of this Continent did not come over the Bering Strait in 10,000 B.C., nor any other time. The European science which is being used to try to claim fallacies about Aboriginal Indigenous People (which these Europeans can say with impunity about “Indians”) is based on a Judeo-Christian world-view, the false assumption that all human beings are descended from incestuous relationships between Adam and Eve’s children, whether 5,976 years ago just outside the Garden of Eden, or hundreds of thousands of years ago in Africa. Judeo-Christian hierarchial thinking requires centralization; it models an unbalanced and violent social structure in order to create slaves, and this imbalance is reflected in their “Scientific theories.” Euro-American scientists accumulate huge masses of details, but very rarely scrutinize the underlying cultural assumptions through which they select and interpret their “facts.” The Bering Strait Theory was formulated by Ales Hrdlika, an European immigrant employed by the United States Government, Smithsonian Institution.
Much of Ales Hrdlika’s research was done in Minnesota, in the context of the White Earth Allotment scandal of the early 1900’s. Virtually none of the people Dr. Hrdlika was studying were Anishinabe Ojibway people—they were Indo-European, mostly French and Moorish, descendants of voyageurs who ended up at the P.O.W. concentration camp called White Earth Reservation as “Indians,” refugees from the French-and-Indian wars. Some of these “Hinton Full-Bloods” also had documentable African ancestry. Dr. Hrdlika based his research on political expediency [by claiming “Indians” are immigrants, too, the Europeans can steal this land with impunity] as well as on the incredibly racist ideas about “Indians” then prevalent in Euro-American culture. He believed that real “full-blooded Indians” could be determined by, for example, scratching a person across the chest with his fingernails; that the “Savage” is so tough he or she would not show the scratch.
Ales Hrdlika also figured out that the Inuit people on the Eastern side of the Bering Strait are related to the Aboriginal Siberian people on the Western side. If he had spoken their language, he could have asked these people about it. The Bering Strait is no great abyss requiring a “land bridge,” but rather an easy two-day walk any winter, and the people on both sides of the Strait have traded and inter-married since time immemorial. The Bering Strait Theory is Judeo-Christianity masquerading as “Scientific Fact,” and like any political slogan is quoted so frequently that regimented people believe this nonsense without question.
The “Chippewa Indians” on which the media has recently been focussing almost all have European patrilineal ancestry. Many of them are full-blooded Whites who the U.S. Government made into “Indians” to sign “Treaties,” to sell Anishinabe Ojibway land and resources, and to hide the genocide of the Anishinabe Ojibway people. The “Tribes” and “Tribal Governments” which the Whites call “Indian” are statutory creations of the United States Congress, and have nothing to do with the Anishinabe Ojibway Traditional egalitarian theocracy, the Midewiwin. “Indian Religion” is a cult created, in violation of the first amendment to the U.S. Constitution, by the U.S. Government. Most of the publicly visible “Indian Medicine Men” are European people with European values and thinking. “Indian Religion” is no different than Christianity; both of them embody self-destructive behavior and male domination. The United States called itself the “Great White Father” because they thought they were God, and God was a White man. In the Boarding Schools, they said their “God” was the “Great White Spirit,” and then their next sentence was, “you are the Vanishing American, and you will go.” All of the Anishinabe Ojibway people kidnapped as children into the Boarding Schools bear psychological scars. The U.S. Government’s imposition of their alien values and their foreign “Chippewa Indians” they created, onto Anishinabe Ojibway land is violence, a human rights violation, and a lie to the Euro-American, African-American and Asian-American public.
The Europeans wrote, and still write, incredible nonsense about the “Indians,” who falsely claim to be the Aboriginal Indigenous People who have been here since there were human beings anywhere. “Cannibals,” the European invaders wrote, as a part of a sixteenth and seventeenth-century public-relations effort to dehumanize the people this land belongs to, to justify their genocide, slave-trading, and resource-theft. Read the Judeo-Christian Bible, or walk into any Christian Church at Communion, and one could say “Cannibals” and “Human Sacrifice” with much more basis in reality than the Europeans had about even their own Indians they invented. The Europeans invented an “Indian mythology,” they peopled their invented “Indian” identity with their own illegitimate children and escaped servants, and then they try to apply their racist “Indian” stereotype to Anishinabe Ojibway and other Aboriginal Indigenous People, and claim this is “Scientific History.”
What the Europeans call “Science,” looks different from another culture. “Science” becomes a weasel-word. It’s very easy to intimidate and abuse Euro-Americans with “Science,” because they have all been regimented and brainwashed. To an Anishinabe Ojibway person, standing outside of the European context, “science” is a slick disguise for diabolical schemes of disharmony and destruction. Darwin’s theory of “survival of the fittest” is just one example of “Science” being used to justify inexcusable violence, with the implied claim that human beings are more knowledgeable than Grandmother Earth. All living beings are connected, and as each species disappears, how much longer until your number comes up, and you stand to face the consequences of your “scientific thinking” as you follow those you have sent before yourself into extinction? “Science” is rigid and controlling, and limited in scope by the Judeo-Christian materialistic and hierarchial world-view. The Anishinabe Ojibway People maintained beautiful forests and an abundant and harmonious permaculture on this Continent. This unlocked wealth is an example of our non-violence. The Euro-Indians have helped their White relations cut down our forests and plunder our ecosystem. This wanton destruction is just one aspect of their culture’s violence.
The Euro-Americans need to scrutinize their own violent values, religion, and roots, instead of trying to force their self-justifying lies and “science” onto the few Aboriginal Indigenous People who have survived five centuries of Holocaust. Rather than inventing pre-Colombian wars on a non-violent Continent (the Anishinabe Ojibway language does not even have a word for “war and peace”), the Euro-Americans need to scrutinize their own violence, greed, and disharmony Judeo-Christianity is a violent religion, bending a weak-willed “God” to justify world conquest, ecological mayhem, slavery and genocide. If their “God” can be manipulated so easily, why not have Him advocate harmony, non-violence, and generosity instead?
The more than 90 physical diseases which the Europeans brought here (including Tuberculosis and Syphilis) are a legacy of hundreds of years of European war, imbalance, disharmony and greed. How many mental diseases have they also brought? Greed and violence are among them. The rape, plunder, and killing that the Europeans brought to this Continent have gone on long enough. These imported European values have turned back against their own people, and the streets of the cities of their Great Civilization are unsafe. Instead of trying to re-mythologize history, pretending that the Aboriginal Indigenous People are “Indians” projected from the fears and lusts of the Europeans, why not look at the truth? The Euro-Americans are quickly reaching a point in their “progress” where their old cultural paradigms and values will no longer lead to anything but misery. It’s possible that we can all live here in harmony, that we can work together to create a better place for the generations yet to come. We need to get rid of violence, and start dealing with reality truthfully. The way that Euro-Americans presently deal with violence is adding more police and jails, spending more money, entrenching the very system that creates the violence. It’s like starting a gasoline fire, and then adding water to “put it out.” The violence just spreads—because as the Euro-American system is structured now, violence is a necessary part of it. The immigrant peoples need to address the root causes of the violence which is entrenched in their culture, and one of them is their violent Judeo-Christian religion.
I spent nine years as a political prisoner in the Boarding Schools that the White man created. One of the first things that they showed me, and it very traumatic and profound, was a picture of a man nailed to a cross, bleeding all over. They said, “this is your savior.” You don’t need violence to save anybody. Violence just promotes more violence. Non-violence and harmony must be created non-violently. Violence does not belong on this Continent. We, the Anishinabe Ojibway People, had a non-violent, harmonious, egalitarian society on this Continent for hundreds of millennia. Our religion, the Midewiwin, is non-violent. The Euro-Americans have to come to terms with the truth about themselves, including their violence.

Abstract: From the introduction to one of the B.I.A.’s long-range plans, THE RED LAKE INDIAN RESERVATION, Its Resources and Development Potential (1979):
“Such a program will necessitate changes in certain activities and attitudes that may not be entirely acceptable to tribal members [particularly the Anishinabe Ojibway who own the land].”
This document is signed by the then-Superintendent, Red Lake Agency. Some of the long-range plans, arrogantly concocted by sly, sleazy, slippery snake-oil salesmen and other accredited Expert Social Engineers are now being put into effect. This includes the environmental racism of clear-cutting on the West end of Red Lake Reservation (and wasting most of the timber)—“technical assistance” was provided by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. The ancestors of these so-called Accredited Experts ran away from Europe, literally starving because all of the resources in Europe had been destroyed. How can they possibly know how to manage natural resources and permaculture when all of their own resources were destroyed; when they have no understanding of this land. These White Experts are bullshitting; their greed culture does not make them good managers, and their thought is stunted by their Indo-European language. They are alienated from the harmony of Nature—all a person has to do is look around at the destruction and pollution all across this continent.
From: Red Lake News, February 1, 1918 (Volume 5, #8): “COMMISSIONER SELLS AND HIS REPORT”
... [In the discussion of] his well known “Declaration of Policy” the following comments are made:
A careful study of the practical effects of governmental policies for determining the wardship of the Indians of this country is convincing that the solution is individual and not collective. Each individual must be considered in the light of his own environment and capacity for larger responsibilities and privileges.
While ethnologically a preponderance of white blood has not heretofore been a criterion [sic] of competency, nor even now is it always a safe standard, it is almost an axiom that an Indian who has a larger proportion of white blood than Indian partakes more of the characteristics of the former than the latter. In thought and action, so far as the business world is concerned, he approximates more closely to the white blood ancestry.
In the so-called Great Age of Discovery, Columbus thought he landed in India. In the name of the King and the Pope who held his Sovereignty, Columbus exercised the so-called Indo-European “Right of Discovery,” and gave a new name to our Continents and to the Aboriginal Indigenous People who lived here. This is one of the devious strategies of Social Engineering that the Indo-Europeans are great at: giving people and places, and everything that belongs to somebody else a different name, in order to claim and control everybody and everything. The Europeans called everybody here “Indians,” which is a racist identity. They claimed that some CrackPots in Europe owned it all.
The Melting Pot Theory comes from the Social Engineering thought that the Europeans brought with them—it’s been built into their language and culture by four thousand years of hierarchial government and wars to conquer whatever the “known world” was at that time. The idea was to destroy all of the distinct Aboriginal Indigenous Nations that were here, to force everybody into an identity that is owned by the European: “Americans,” (with or without hyphens). For Social Engineers, it seemed like a good idea at the time, but it doesn’t work and it never will work. The Melting Pot has cracked. The Liberty Bell is cracked. So, the Social Engineers brought in “pot,” and then they brought in “crack.” The whole concept of Social Engineering is a CrackPot theory. Social Engineering doesn’t work in the long run because it is aimed at world conquest in the Name of a few of the elite. Adolf Hitler was using Social Engineers’ theories when he constructed the Third Reich; like Spain and like England he wanted world conquest. Such violent ego-maniac delusions are built into the Indo-European language and culture, Adolf Hitler as an individual was not the problem and he was not unique. Theodore Roosevelt used the same kind of Indo-European language to describe the U.S. Congress’ “Indian” laws as a “giant machine to pulverize the Tribal masses,” and then he laughed and said “we’ve got them where they want them, they can’t move.” All of the Indo-European laws that they pass for other people are Social Engineering laws. This is genocide and it is a violation of human rights.
Social Engineering can never work because everybody has their own identity. When people are forced into an identity that doesn’t belong to them—an identity owned and controlled by somebody else—even if they don’t know what is wrong, people are angry, depressed and unhappy. The people who created or control the identity get to brag about playing God, “with one stroke of the pen we created you, and with one stoke of the pen you will no longer exist.” Instead of letting other people force you into an artificial identity, find out who you really are.

When I attended Catholic Mission School, during the school discussion one day, the Nuns were talking about their grandparents from Germany, and how they had emigrated over here. When I tried to talk about my grandparents, I was told to keep quiet, because my Anishinabe Ojibway grandparents were “dirty, lazy, and good-for-nothing Savages,” that is what the Nuns told me. The Nuns also said, “You’re an American, now, forget about your past.” Every morning, they told us, “You are the Vanishing American,” and tried to make me into a Chippewa Indian, one of the conquered people they call “Our Indians.”
The Nuns were using the CrackPot Melting Theory. They wanted to put the Aboriginal Indigenous children into an identity which they owned and controlled. The United States Governments’ policy toward Aboriginal Indigenous People on this continent is and always has been based on “Indians” that they created, own, and control. The Crooked English name of this policy is “Indian Policy.” This policy addresses what they call the “Indian Problem,” and for more than 200 years they have been looking for a “final solution.” This Indian Policy has absolutely no jurisdiction over Aboriginal Indigenous People and never had jurisdiction. Title 25 of the United States Code, Section 479, in which the United States tries to extend the term “Indian” to include Aboriginal Indigenous people does not apply to the Anishinabe Ojibway and other Aboriginal Indigenous people because we are NOT “Indians” and we still hold our own Sovereignty, and we still have our Aboriginal Indigenous religion, the Midewiwin. “Indian religion” is a cult, legislated by the United States Government. Check it out—read the Indian Freedom of Religion Act carefully. If you want further documentation of the Social Engineers’ botched strategy, go ask the Bureau of Indian Affairs for your genealogy. The B.I.A. will tell you that it’s “Confidential,” but what they’re saying between the lines is that “we need you to be an Indian to hide the genocide and other human rights violations that were done here.” The Bureau pays good taxpayer dollars to keep people with European ancestry in the Chippewa Indian identity, and lately there has been a lot of media promotion of “Our Indians.”
Genetic Engineering is a part of Social Engineering. One moment the Aryans screaming against miscegenation; the next moment they are mating with Aboriginal Indigenous women to produce Chippewa Indians intended to serve in the long-range plans of stealing these continents. This kind of strategy worked very well in Europe, but it does not work here.
Chippewa Indians are still being used to steal or destroy whatever the Anishinabe Ojibway people have left. The United States Government’s de-forestation policies, put into practice by their broker and middleman Chippewa Indians, have another more accurate name: environmental racism. The Chippewa Halfbreed Treaties are another example of Indians being used to steal from Aboriginal Indigenous People. The people of the White Earth Land Recovery Project who are trying to get “their” land back are saying that the Whites who got land in White Earth have “clouded title.” Chippewa Indian Title is also clouded title. The Chippewa Indians never owned any land—there were no Chippewa Indians here until the Indo-Europeans came and created them. The Chippewa Indians had no right to “sell” the land that the halfbreed Chippewa Indian “Treaties” are based on, because they never owned that land. The land is owned by the Anishinabe Ojibway, through the Midewiwin, and cannot be sold.

The Clinton Campaign
National Campaign Headquarters
P.O. Box 615

Honorable Senator Gore,

Enclosed is what the Clinton Campaign in Minnesota sent in response to our request for your position paper relating to Aboriginal Indigenous People. The paper does not mention the Aboriginal Indigenous Peoples of this Continent.
I am Anishinabe Ojibway, of the Anishinabe Ojibway Nation. We, the Anishinabe Ojibway are Sovereign Aboriginal Indigenous People. I am not an Indian. “Indian” is an artificial identity created by the Europeans and applied to their own subject peoples, of European and Indo-European patrilineal ancestry. “Indian” is a derogatory racist term to which innumerable negative stereotypes have been attached by the Whites who invented “Indians.” “Indian” is also an Euro-American “legal” term used in unilateral United States legislation, executive orders, court precedents and bureaucracies applied to people caught in the “Indian” identity—and which were created with the intent (specifically stated in Title 25 of the U.S. Code) of forcibly including the Aboriginal Indigenous Peoples in this fraudulent category of “Indian.”
Apparently, the people who wrote Governor Clinton’s position paper have some awareness of the nature of the term “Indian,” which is used only twice in your platform’s position paper. The term which they chose as a substitute is “Native American,” which broadly and ambiguously means “people born in America.” Governor Clinton is a “Native American.” You are a “Native American.” I was most certainly born here, on this land that is, and has been a part of the Anishinabe Ojibway Nation for millennia—but by no stretch of the imagination am I either “American” or “Native American.” “Native American” is an European term, referring to an illusory European identity.
When we requested your position paper, we, as Aboriginal Indigenous People of the Anishinabe Ojibway Nation, asked John Wodele of the Clinton for President campaign, “is your position five hundred more years of genocide?” He did not answer our question at that time, and the position paper which he sent, still did not answer our question. Six years ago, in response to the 1986 Democratic Party Platform, we wrote to the then-Chairperson of the Minnesota D.F.L., detailing some of the ways in which that platform continued the United States Government’s ongoing policies of genocide. We did not even receive the courtesy of an answer from the Minnesota D.F.L. The only significant difference that we see between the 1986 Democratic Party Platform and your present position paper, is the removal of the idea of “Trust Relationship” from your position paper.
It is quite true that there are about three million (according to the 1990 Census) people here who identified themselves as “Indian” or “Native American.” A tiny minority of these people, along with a few people who were not enumerated by the U.S. Census, are the Aboriginal Indigenous People who have survived the centuries-long Holocaust by the United States of America and other European Nations. The rest of these self-proclaimed “Indians” are Indo-European subject peoples. Is U.S. Euro-American culture so bad, that millions of your people wanna-be Indians? The “Indians” have an identity problem, but the Great White Father also has an even more serious identity problem.
I have spent the last sixty years of my life listening to lies about my people and our history, and studying the dishonesty of the Euro-Americans. The U.S.-supported Red Lake Catholic Mission school, as well as the U.S. Government school, tried to literally and physically beat our native Ojibway language out of myself and all of the other Anishinabe Ojibway children over two generations. They tried to replace our ancient language with a functionally incommunicado 400-word vocabulary of Broken English and Anglo-Saxon four letter words. But, some of us have taught ourselves your “Crooked English” language. I am not writing to you in my native language, I am writing to you in a language that was forced on my people. I will communicate, but I feel no obligation to use what you call “proper English,” whatever that is. The English language is a bastard language, whose native speakers have stolen words from people all over the world.
Over the past eight years, we the Anishinabe Ojibway People have gained access to the documents: U.S. Census records since 1830; Red Lake Annuity Payment Rolls; church records; B.I.A. enrollments; B.I.A. and Land Office “Halfbreed Scrip” records and other B.I.A. documents, position papers and correspondence; “Indian” genealogies done in the course of timber company litigation; fur trade records and other historical documents. We can prove what we, the Anishinabe Ojibway people have always said among ourselves: most of the people who say that they are “Chippewa Indian” (or “Native American”) are really people of European, Indo-European, and African ancestry, pretending to be something that never existed.
Anishinabe Ojibway People have always defined ourselves by our patrilineal Clans and Dodems, by our Traditional religion, the Midewiwin, our Sovereign Grandfather Religion held jointly by those of the Clans and Dodems. We can document the genocidal colonizing strategy (which has been part of Euro-American tradition since the Roman Empire¹) of genetic engineering—the intentional and often forced breeding of mixed-blood people with an Indo-European patriline: people whose Sovereignty is held by the Europeans and Euro-Americans, including “Indian” and “Native American” people whose identity was invented and is controlled by the Europeans and Euro-Americans. Although many of the people claiming to be “Chippewa Indians” do not have any Aboriginal Indigenous ancestors at all (many of them were dark-skinned, dark-haired Moorish mixed-bloods who were already “half-breeds” when they involuntarily left Europe), there are also thousands of so-called Chippewa Indians who are the product of Europe’s colonial genetic engineering on this continent. Their Aboriginal Indigenous ancestors are matrilineal. Like some other subject Peoples, they reckon descent on the matriline. We, the Anishinabe Ojibway, say “the woman (it doesn’t matter where she is from) marries into the Clan of her husband, the children are born to their father’s people.” The Euro-Americans state patrilineal inheritance by saying “these are our subject peoples, ‘our Indians’... our Natives.” Conquered people, including the Jewish People, use matrilineal descent, through the mother’s line; their (and your) Sovereignty is held by Europe through the Judeo-Christian religion. Euro-Americans have a very serious identity problem, no roots.
United States military forces have occupied Germany for fifty years, along with their civilian adjuncts. Many children of these occupation forces were born in Germany. If you apply your logic of “American Citizenship” to these people, why didn’t they become Germans—particularly those with a little bit of German ancestry on the matriline? The Euro-Americans are an occupation force on Aboriginal Indigenous land. The Anishinabe Ojibway people never did any harm to the Euro-Americans; we were and still are a non-violent people, because of our non-violent religion the Midewiwin, Grandfather. Yet, the Euro-American occupation forces have instigated all kinds of violence—it’s documented. Europe was bankrupt, plundered to the bedrock, when the European occupation forces started stealing our property. You cannot continue to use violence and Machiavellian politics and expect to be an effective world leader. You have to come to terms with your own violent behavior. As far as I can see, the Democratic Platform is remaining firmly on the Euro-American base of violence, plunder economics, and business as usual. It’s not going to work.
The United States Government has directed their strategy of stealing a continent—land, resources and Sovereignty—by trying to use a “blame-the-victim” ploy and mis-identifying their subject “Indian” people. The Indian “tribal entities” supported in your position paper are inventions of the Euro-Americans. In a telephone conversation yesterday, Washington, D.C., Bureau of Indian Affairs official Lathel Bussifle told me, straight out, “the Red Lake Band of Chippewa Indians was created by Act of Congress.” For once, someone in the B.I.A spoke the exact truth. The so-called Red Lake Band of Chippewa Indians was invented as a post-facto justification of an illegal “Treaty,” of which European subject peoples comprised both sides of the “Treaty.” My patrilineal great-grandfather, Midewiwin spiritual leader of the Bear Clan and Dodem, known by his title Buss-e-noss, was at those 1863 “Treaty negotiations,” and along with the other Anishinabe Ojibway men there, refused to sign. It is against our religion to “sell” Grandmother Earth, which is our religion and our identity. That is what we told the Treaty Commissioners. The United States Government used their “Indians” to “sell” land which did not belong to them, and has been using their “Indians” ever since, as brokers and middlemen in a series of thieving and genocidal policies directed against the Aboriginal Indigenous peoples. They have tried to use their complacent Indians to mask the Euro-Americans’ own complicity in genocide. Both the Indians and the other Euro-Americans are guilty of genocide against the Aboriginal Indigenous Peoples.
The Indians’ claim to this land is based, in part, on “Land Grants” from the United States Government. Anishinabe Ojibway land never belonged to the United States Government, which had no jurisdiction to “give” Aboriginal Indigenous Peoples’ land to their Indians. “Indians” bear part of the responsibility, for accepting and selling stolen property. The United States of America bears a far larger part of the liability. Indians have a dishonest identity, and as long as they choose to remain in this deceitful identity, they are dishonest people. There were no “Indians” here, and there were probably not any “Indians” among the myriad peoples of India. The British Empire has a great time calling their subject Peoples “Indians.” If you have read very many of the original documents from your country’s history, you already know this. As long as we, the Anishinabe Ojibway, and my relations the other Aboriginal Indigenous People, did not understand English, you could claim to have “Indians.” We understand English, now.
The colonial puppet governments created by the United States Congress under the United States’ 1934 Indian Reorganization Act (I.R.A.) are the “governments” which you support, according to your position paper’s vague pledge to “guarantee the government-to-government relationships between the United States and ... tribal entities.” The pitiful shams of “democracy” which the U.S. recognizes as their Indian Tribal Governments operate on “constitutions” written by the Bureau of Indian Affairs, in which (European) “sovereign power” is specifically retained by the Secretary of the Interior. These I.R.A. caricatures of “democracy” are intended to entrench the political power of the United States’ White Indians, who have been packed onto the Reservations on top of, or displacing, the few surviving Aboriginal Indigenous People. The European subject people who are Chippewa Indians trying to lay claim to the Anishinabe Ojibway Nation’s land and resources, and lately to our very identity and religion, is human rights violation, racism, and genocide. The Chippewa Indians are not the Anishinabe Ojibway People. Unwittingly or not, the Chippewa Indians are fraudulent fakes, supported by the United States Government and in your position paper, implicitly supported by yourself. Lawsuits in World Court, from the Aboriginal Indigenous People of this Continent, are coming. The United States Government is using the Chippewa Indians, and other “Indians” as a smokescreen for their ongoing genocide and their complicity in past genocide.
The 1934 I.R.A. was designed to provide a corruptible colonial government, in part as an occupation force, and in part as a broker to “sell” resources, and “close the books” (e.g. through the Indian Claims Commission) on land, which do not and have never belonged to the U.S. Government’s Indians empowered by the I.R.A. Since the I.R.A. was forced onto the Red Lake Reservation through fraud (we can prove this), the Anishinabe Ojibway Peoples’ remaining forests at Red Lake have been clearcut on a massive scale. We have been left with environmental devastation, scorched-earth destruction of our Traditional food supply, and consequential nutritional diseases which are killing our people. The B.I.A. has manipulated this theft, in collusion with the rest of the U.S. Government and other European countries, in a way that purports to bankrupt us. On your crooked books, we’re nearly bankrupt. Is this why you took “trusteeship” out of your platform, support “government-to-government” relationships [from an Aboriginal Indigenous perspective, it comes out European-to-European], and had the Bureau’s Philadelphia lawyers re-write the “Red Lake Indian Tribal Code,” which refers to [European] “Indians or persons.”
The Europeans and Indo-Europeans who call themselves “Indians” and “Native Americans” are writing themselves a free ticket in Anishinabe Ojibway land. They have a dishonest identity. On the White Earth Reservation, the Chippewa Indians are protesting the Indian Reorganization Act Government which the United States Government gave them, claiming that it is dishonest. But, because of clinging to their dishonest identity, they themselves are also corrupt. They are operating on a foundation of lies and deceptions. The Indians cannot reasonably expect honesty toward themselves, until they are honest about who these people claiming to be “Indians” really are. The “Indians” do have a real identity—and for all but a minuscule minority of lost, adopted-out, and confused or brainwashed people, this identity is not Aboriginal Indigenous people of this Continent.
It is time that the United States dealt, honestly, with the massive genocide of the Aboriginal Indigenous Peoples. F.D.R. could not handle the early reports of Nazi genocide: Hitler sent him a cable citing F.D.R.’s “own backyard,” and as a direct consequence countless people both in the concentration camps and in the Allied Forces died. Until the United States (and Britain which still holds your Sovereignty through the Christian religion) deal fully, openly, and honestly with the past, they cannot even hope to begin to build a future. Adolf Hitler’s National Socialism was a product of Western European Civilization just as surely as Franklin Roosevelt’s New Deal was, and just as surely as the 1992 Revitalized Democratic Party is. The repercussions of the lies upon which your society is built extend in every direction, from the environment to social policy. The violence which is engulfing your cities is part of the circle of violence which was transplanted by the Europeans onto our continent five hundred years ago. The time when you must deal with the truth is here, right now.
We, the Anishinabe Ojibway People, have a right to exist as a Sovereign People in our own land. We need to find mutual terms of harmonious co-existence with the descendants of those who came as refugees, of those who came in chains, to our land. Your platform “on issues of importance to Native Americans” does not touch the real issues. We are extending an invitation to dialogue; we are also extending an invitation for you to come and look at the thousands of pages of documentation which back up what we write.
As Communism (a political theory written by Capitalists using the same linear thinking) has fallen, the focus is on you as world leaders. You cannot point your finger at Saddam Hussein and say, “you are a dictator, committing genocide against the Kurds.” You must come to terms with the genocide which you, personally and presently, are still in complicity. You cannot be a world leader and continue lying about being a “free country.” There are millions of people in this country who do not say anything, who work hard and try to make ends meet—but who are well aware that the bureaucrats slopping at the public trough are the ones hollering about a “free country” the loudest. With the D.F.L.’s eloquent rhetoric about “change” at the 1992 convention, you have sparked a public awareness that you will not be able to quash after the election. There are a lot of people who sensed the hedging in Bill Clinton’s acceptance speech. Ross Perot catalyzed the change that was already building—you cannot go back to the “good old days,” and survive. Violence always breeds more violence; it is a vicious circle, and the Euro-American elite knows that, and uses it to maintain their artificial position of “superiority” so they don’t have to work. There was no violence on this continent until you people brought it as a part of your European cultural baggage. The class system upon which Euro-American society is based, is violent in its fundamental concept, and needs violence and turmoil in order to stay in existence. There were enslaved human beings chained in the holds of even the very early European immigrant ships, and among the very first things that the Europeans did on our Continent was build prisons and stockades. The next thing they did was build churches and saloons and whore-houses—which are all inseparable parts of the cultural complex of artificially polarized “dichotomies” which define you. The Judo-Christian religion is a violent religion, and when you say that you have a Judeo-Christian Nation here on this Continent, you are openly admitting genocide. Rather than adding yet another layer to the violence, it is time for you to look at the root causes of your violence. Hiring more police will not solve the problem. You could make every Citizen a police man or woman, and you would still be shooting each other and stealing from each other. Go to the mirror and look at yourselves. The Americans need to take a long, hard look at the violence which is a part of their values, their religion, and inextricably a part of American history.
We, the Anishinabe Ojibway People, did not have an hierarchial class system, and our religion the Midewiwin, is non-violent. It is a twenty-four hours a day religion. The Midewiwin is in part about the connectedness of all things that you mentioned in your acceptance speech. Grandmother Earth is sacred, inseparable from the Grandfather Midewiwin religion. Darwin’s theory of “survival of the fittest”—each time you break another link in the chain, and another species disappears, how much longer will you be able to stand there, before you disappear also? All people are a part of Grandmother Earth, and each people, each species, has a right to survive. Each species is a part of the inter-dependent totality, each species is here for a reason, and each bears the unmistakable reflection of the Great Creator in this vast and once beautiful living world. You have no right to use violence, the threat of violence, and lies, to try to claim “ownership” of that which is not yours.
The orators of the D.F.L. said, to great cheers, that they wanted to re -build America. From what? To what? While the Bigwigs in Washington were busy concocting what they hoped were airtight labyrinths of “Indian” policy, and while the Anthropologists were busy studying their own illusions, projections and reflections in their Indians, the Aboriginal Indigenous People have been watching the Indo-Europeans, and learning.
Are you basing your re-built America on the Greco-Roman traditions so proudly re-claimed in early 20th century history texts: Imperial traditions of which slavery was an integral part, depending on colonial exploitation of other peoples’ resources and capitol punishment of dissidents? The sand of man-made deserts drifts through the ruins of their cultural centers, and their bloodstained torch passed into the grasping hands of their illegitimate half-“barbarian” sons of the colonial outposts. You claim Roman law, the Roman Alphabet, and politico-religious institutions which bear the unmistakable imprint of an acclaimed Roman Emperor.
Or, do you think you can re-build America using the pattern of the Moorish Empire which occupied much of Europe? The Moors taught the illiterate people of Europe how to read and write, and they taught them math. The Arab culture is an ignored cornerstone of Western European Civilization. Can you imagine using Roman numerals for the Arabic discipline of calculus? The Moors also embellished what the Romans had taught the Native Europeans about brutal occupations, and laid the foundation for the Spanish Inquisition. Although the Renaissance was funded by plunder and genocide in the mis-named “New World” under the purported Divine Mandate of Christianity, many of the seeds had been cross-fertilized by ideas from the East. The patterns of colonialism were not invented by the Europeans. When President Bush bombed the Garden of Eden, he closed the circle. The paradigm of colonial expansion has exhausted itself, and if you understand your roots you will understand clearly why you cannot expect to continue the path of your cultural forbearers and survive in the world that you have pillaged and repressed so violently. You must look beyond the confines of your tunnel vision.
