Lakota Sioux Nation now secedes from the United States

I don't know if this means anything?

President Barack Obama has an unexpected foreign policy problem – in the Western United States. The Lakota Sioux nation has seceded from the United States, according to a story on the anti-American website La Voz de Aztlan.

"We are no longer citizens of the United States of America and all those who live in the five-state area that encompasses our country are free to join us," long-time Native American radical leader Russell Means said. The move potentially impacts the states of Nebraska, South Dakota, North Dakota, Montana and Wyoming.

Interestingly, the link They give for this story no longer is carrying the story; it was pulled down.

Then there is this:



Also on this is this (from http://www.commondreams.org/archive/2007/12/21/5946 )

Political activist Russell Means, a founder of the American Indian Movement, says he and other members of Lakota tribes have renounced treaties and are withdrawing from the United States.

"We are now a free country and independent of the United States of America," Means said in a telephone interview. "This is all completely legal."

Means said a Lakota delegation on Monday delivered a statement of "unilateral withdrawal" from the United States to the U.S. State Department in Washington.

The State Department did not respond. "That'll take some time," Means said.

Thanks, guys.

No, it doesn't mean anything.  Nothing at all.

As long as this does not impact anything the American government wants to do, they will ignore it.  If it ever does, however, Homeland Security will simply shoot everyone concerned, and declare them domestic terrorists.  They'll basically make another Waco out of it.

I will make two very safe predictions about this.

a}  Nobody under the age of 40 cares about this.
b}  Less than 100 people care about this.

As a result, the people in question are well within the range of those, that the DHS can get away with assassinating, while keeping plausible deniability intact.

He's probably a fraud.  Most people who make these sorts of announcements and claim to be speaking for the Native Americans, generally are.  They're understandably becoming rather sick of it, from what I've read.  They seem to be deeply frustrated over the fact that people (even those who are often nominally of their own ethnic group) invariably tend to view Native Americans in general as being more like an exhibit in a theme park such as Disneyland, rather than as a real, living, entirely legitimate ethnicity; and that said people then try and cash in, by doing the equivalent of selling tickets on "Native American," rides.

Never mind the fact that the genocide has already occurred; psychologically speaking, in a lot of ways, the above is actually even worse.

Yep.  Fraud/plastic.  Exactly what I was expecting.  Real/legitimate Native Americans apparently don't make videos on YouTube where they draw attention to themselves and attempt to deceive white people.

Welcome to the Reservation

OK, Amy, you started this journey to Native America, so we happily share the following.

As a youngster growing up on the collective in the Four Corners area of Western Colorado, we routinely gleaned the fields after the mechanical pickers slaughtered the crop (mostly potatoes and corn) and shared with our friends at Hotevilla, where we were privileged to meet one of our subsequent mentors, Thomas Banyacya.

We have been involved in the quest to save Mother Earth since that first meeting with that wonderful Hopi spiritual leader.

In the Words of Banyacya:

This is the last world that we are living on, there is no other world like this world where human life will live like this.

This is supposed to last forever.

And it's up to us, the survivors of that last total destruction by flood...

We're getting close to the last days that we either clean this mess up or we're going to find ourselves in a terrible spot. ?

And this:

If we see something wrong, we should try to correct that. These are some things that a human is supposed to be responsible for.

Thomas introduced us to Archie Fire Lame Deer, who introduced us to Two Blue Jays, who introduced us to Russell Means, whose introduced us to Dennis Banks.

Amy, you and Pearl and two peas in a pod. We'll hook you up, should you be interested.






In March 2012, American Indian legend Russell Means and his wife, Pearl, sat down for an intimate interview with Shannon Kring Buset of WildHeart Vision. In this excerpt, the couple responds to the question, "Can there be a healing between the American Indian and the white man?" Filmed in Durango, Colorado USA.



And this timely information uploaded by TheAlexJonesChannel on Jan 25, 2012.

Alex talks to legendary native american activist, actor Russell Means about the decline of the American culture and the rise of global imperialism.

UPDATE:
PRESS RELEASE
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

June 25, 2012

Former Hopi Tribal Chairmen respond to false reporting by Hopi Chairman Shingoitewa Concerning Senate Bill 2109, Navajo-Hopi Little Colorado River Water Rights Settlement Act of 2012.

Contact: Ben Nuvamsa (928) 380-6677; Ivan Sidney (928) 205-5504, Vernon Masayesva (928) 255-2356


Hopi Tribal Chairman LeRoy Shingoitewa and Council Representative George Mase have been giving out false information that the Hopi Tribe approved Senate Bill 2109, the Navajo-Hopi Little Colorado River Water Rights Settlement Act of 2012, when in fact, the Hopi Tribal Council, by a vote of 11 for, 4 against, and 0 abstentions, rejected the Kyl bill on June 15, 2012. Over 100 tribal members witnessed this historic event.


Representatives from the Hopi villages, traditional leaders, allottees, and tribal members provided overwhelming objection to, and rejecting Senate Bill 2109 through written and oral testimony in a packed Hotevilla Elderly Center.

Senate Bill 2109 favors non-Indian parties including owners of the Navajo Generating Station and the Peabody Coal Company; requires waiver of Hopi aboriginal and federal reserved water rights to the Little Colorado River; and waives any future claims for damages done to the Navajo Aquifer and sacred springs by Peabody Coal Company and owners of the Navajo Generating Station.


After hearing the people's testimony, the Hopi Tribal Council passed Resolution No. H-072-2012 rejecting Arizona Senator Jon Kyl's Senate Bill 2109.

But, Shingoitewa has refused to sign this resolution forcing the former elected tribal leaders to file a formal complaint to the Hopi Tribal Council and demanding Shingoitewa's immediate removal.

Hopi Council Resolution H-072-2012 not only rejects Senate Bill 2109, it also prohibits Shingoitewa, the Water & Energy Team and the Hopi Tribal Council from further negotiations on Senate Bill 2109, including the Settlement Agreement. It also requires Hopi Chairman Shingoitewa to report the official position of the Hopi Tribe to Senator Kyl and the Department of Interior on the formal rejection of Senate Bill 2109.

Leroy Shingoitewa and George Mase have been providing false and misleading information that the Hopi Tribe approved and endorsed the Kyl bill.

They are doing this so they can continue the Little Colorado River water rights negotiations.

Any negotiations by Hopi tribal officials would be in direct violation of Resolution H-072-2012 and would be grounds for Serious Neglect of Duty charges under the Hopi Tribe's constitution.

Shingoitewa convened an illegal tribal council meeting on June 21, 2012, to force passage of a council resolution to "endorse" Senate Bill 2109. This he did out of total disrespect for the Hopi and Tewa people's rejection of the Senate bill. Upon hearing of this action, many tribal members are angered and are demanding immediate removal of Hopi Chairman Shingoitewa and George Mase.

Resolution H-073-2012
is not the official position
of the Hopi Tribe and its members.

The official position of the Hopi Tribe is embodied in Resolution H-072-2012 which rejects Senate Bill 2109 and the proposed Settlement Agreement.

Careful, our friend, you do not know the man.

We do, and stand by him, period.

Please look over some of the material in our recent post and perhaps you may update your opinion.

Russell Means is, and will continue to be, our friend.

im not a religious nut but just hear me out.

native americans only problem is alcohol.
if they would smoke pot and ban alcohol,they could get this country back.
if you believe the book of mormon,they say the indians may be the tribe of eli.this tribe was banned from alcohol.but pot was part of the ointment they put on their head and what was burned in the temple.
they were smokin it when us whities got here.

i know its a crazy theory with no real facts but if the key fits, who cares.
also doesnt cherokee sound alot like cherub key?
