<br><br>
Declaration of Sovereignty of the Confederated Nations of the Indigenous
Peoples of the Americas and demand for immediate recognition of
Nation-State Status.<br><br>
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; <br><br>
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:
<br><br>
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; <br><br>
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; <br><br>
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
<br><br>
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. <br><br>
PRESS RELEASE November 3, 2007: <br><br>
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. <br><br>
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. <br><br>
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. <br><br>
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."
