INDIGENOUS RESPONSE to proposed “apology” to “American Indians”
NO APOLOGY ACCEPTED June 3, 2005 (API)
Reconciliation: getting back together with estranged spouse, having once been married. Rejoining.
Indigenous Red “Indian” Nations and Peoples Indigenous to Great Turtle Island (misnomer “western hemisphere”) were never married to nor ‘slept with’ the occupying, dominating force called “America.” Therefore, it is impossible to “reconcile” with the imperialist, male dominating government, controlled by large corporations like Exxon and Gulf Oil (currently utilizing American citizenry as private military force to “liberate” Iraq oil for the Bush cronies). Indigenous Red Nations are distinct Nations of Red Peoples, who always and forever inhabited Great Turtle Island – having never “migrated” from somewhere else.
There is no word for "sorry" in Indigenous Nakota (misnomer "Sioux") Language. A perpetrator of wrong must simply learn from their mistake, not make the mistake again, and make proper restitution and reparations for their wrongdoing (something the u.s. government has yet to do).
Indigenous Red “Indian” Nations and Peoples never considered themselves as “conquered “ because they are STILL living and breathing. Currently, oppressive actions are directed towards and against Indigenous Red Peoples via oppressive and dominating government bureaucrats (see 1851treaty.com).
The following acts of genocide must be resolved. NO APOLOGY will be accepted from any u.s. federal, state, or local government official until these two depredations and Treaty violations are corrected:
1. STOLEN GOLD from the Sacred He Sapa “Black Hills, South Dakota” valued at nine trillion dollars ($9,000,000,000,000) stored in Fort Knox, Kentucky, and must be returned – with reparations/restitution/depredation fines - to its rightful owners, the Lakota (misnomer “Sioux”) Nation and Peoples.
2. Reparations, fines, and payments to the Lakota for the DAILY THEFT OF COAL from the 1851 Treaty of Fort Laramie Territories in “Wyoming." This coal is the driving power of electricity and lighting to commerce and governments including the critical global information highway afforded by computers, DVD players, and video games to hundreds of millions of u.s. homes. NOT ONE CENT has been paid to the Lakota peoples since its ongoing theft.
To this minute, The United States government continues to steal from the DaNakota Nation Citizenry.
America must become HUMAN enough to:
A. Officially halt ALL atrocities against all Indigenous Nations
B. Reparate with interest ALL monies owed to Indigenous Peoples, return stolen property, stop thieving, compensate adequately and fairly.
Then, possibly the Nakota Nation will gather together within each of their communities in male and female talking circles (true democracy currently oppressed) to discuss a possibility of “conciling” with the government and citizens of the “United States.”
