Declaration of Sovereignty of the Confederated Nations of the
Indigenous Peoples of the Americas and demand for immediate
recognition of Nation-State Status.
AND NOW, THE Indigenous Peoples desiring to re-assert their
Creator-given rights to live, prosper and care for their ancestral
lands, said rights arising from time immemorial; the Indigenous
Peoples desiring to re-assert such Creator-given rights through their
ancestral Nations; IT APPEARING that such Creator-given rights were
never surrendered and could never be surrendered, voluntarily or
otherwise; IT FURTHER APPEARING that such Creator-given Sovereignty
may co-exist with the sovereignty asserted by other non-indigenous
Nations, such mutual sovereignty able to exist in the same space and
at the same time;
THEREFORE, The Indigenous Peoples hereby demand immediate recognition
of such Creator-given Sovereignty and collectively and unanimously
agree to take all steps deemed by all to be necessary and appropriate
to obtain such recognition from all affected non-indigenous Nations,
including the United States of America, Canada, Mexico, and any other
Nation whose sovereignty currently infringes upon the Sovereignty of
the Confederated Nations of the Indigenous Peoples of the Americas,
said Sovereignty, Rights, Demand and Steps arising under the
following PRINCIPLES, hereby deemed to be immutable as having derived
directly from the Creator:
FIRST, each and every Indigenous Person of the Confederated Nations
of the Indigenous Peoples of the Americas, regardless of which
Indigenous Nation that Indigenous Person was born into, is born
endowed with Sovereign status because such Sovereignty is Creator-
given and may not be modified, amended, taken away or destroyed by
any human or any institution created by any human or any combination
of humans, whether by force or by Treaty;
SECOND, each and every Indigenous Person of the Indigenous Peoples of
the Americas, by and through their respective Nations, neither ceded,
nor was ever able to cede, as set forth FIRST above, their Creator-
given Sovereignty, either through Treaty or any other such document
or device, whether Ordered by any Court of any Nation or otherwise;
THIRD, the Indigenous Peoples of the Americas, by and through their
respective Nations, are entitled to all accoutrements of Sovereignty,
including the right to be recognized as nation-states by all other
nation-states, whether existing or to be created, the right to enact
laws for the benefit of their Peoples and to regulate commerce, from
the determination of who shall constitute the Peoples, maintaining
the status of the Peoples, from birth to passing, to the right to
impose taxes, if any; that is, the Confederated Nations of the
Indigenous Peoples of the Americas shall have all the rights and
accoutrements of any internationally recognized nation-state under
international law; and
FOURTH, each and every Indigenous Person of the Confederated Nations
of the Indigenous Peoples of the Americas is an individually
Sovereign Human Being, having arisen from and being part of Mother
Earth, born with inherent Sovereignty that may co-exist in the same
space and at the same time with the sovereignty of other nation-
states whose sovereignty currently infringes upon the Sovereignty of
the Indigenous Peoples of the Americas, such that each and every
Indigenous Person has the inherent right to reside, be gainfully
employed, travel, hunt, gather, or engage in any other activity
enjoyed by Human Beings as such, anywhere in the Americas, without
any interference or impediments from the infringing nation-states.
PRESS RELEASE November 3, 2007:
Dozens of Indigenous Sovereign Nations throughout Canada and the
United States have agreed to move forward with a Declaration of
Sovereignty, by which these Indigenous Sovereign Nations will band
together to re-assert their inherent sovereignty, inviting all
Indigenous Sovereign Nations from all around the world to join. This
newly con-federated Nation is appropriately named "The Turtle Island
Confederacy." Those who know will understand that "Turtle Island" is
another traditional name for "the World." This is truly a universal
Declaration. The Hereditary Chiefs of these Indigenous Sovereign
Nations will gather at a signing ceremony to take place at a location
and on a date soon to be decided by the Elders involved, at which
time The Turtle Island Confederacy will be born.
Again, those who know will understand that the traditional governing
systems and the traditional cultures of these Indigenous Sovereign
Nations were and continue to be decimated by laws enacted by their
"host" countries, including Canada and the United States, which laws,
among other things, impose false (proxy)(foreign) governments on our
people. This true Declaration of true Sovereignty has the blessing of
the Creator and International Law.
The creation of The Turtle Island Confederacy will immediately free
the Indigenous Sovereign Nations to re-assert their sovereignty, an
inherent sovereignty that was never surrendered and never could have
been surrendered. It has taken the Indigenous Sovereign Nations over
200 years to regroup and arrive at this crucial point in history to
re-commence performing their sacred duties to care for Mother Earth
and, hence, all people. It is no accident and no coincidence that the
Creator has chosen this time to arrange the rebirth of this ancient
Nation. The air, the water, the land and all living things are in
danger now as never before. The Turtle Island Confederacy is born
from all things positive, not from anger for past oppression and
atrocities undeniably committed. These things are forgiven. When the
colonizers arrived, we welcomed them and cared for them when they
could not care for themselves. They were like children sitting at our
feet in need of sustenance, which we gladly provided. The children
grew up steadily over the course of several hundred years, only to
rebel against their caregivers, reacting with greed and forgetfulness
of all we did for them and all we tried to teach them. For this they
are also forgiven. The time has come, however, when these now young
adults must realize and admit the innocent error of their youthful
and frivolous ways and turn once again to the wisdom and care of
those who raised them. Unwittingly, they developed along the way the
technological and linguistic means for all Indigenous Sovereign
Nations to now join together with one good mind and one pure heart
for the good of all humans.
In conclusion, The Turtle Island Confederacy extends an open
invitation to all Indigenous Sovereign Nations to join us on this
historic and epic peaceful path into the future and also to convey
this all-important message to all colonizing states: "The Turtle
Island Confederacy extends, once again, its open hand in friendship
and in good faith as our gesture of our desire to continue to coexist
for the benefit and respect of all people and our one true Mother,
"Turtle Island."
