Indigenous Rights Movement

This website was created to inform and help inspire the movement of reclaiming and protecting indigenous traditional territory, especially Indigenous Peoples’ ancestral homelands that comprise crucial habitat: forests, wetlands, and aquatic areas.

Federally and state-recognized tribes in the United States and Canada have a moral, legal, and ancestral right to prevent non-aboriginal governments, corporations, and individuals from purchasing, claiming, or otherwise seizing indigenous traditional territory, in addition to aboriginal/Indigenous Peoples’ present-day reservations.

Indigenous tribes in other countries, particularly those who have or who are suffering from land invasion, resource extraction, habitat loss, and other forms of violence from non-indigenous human bodies, require protection. On behalf of traditional indigenous people, most urgently those Indigenous Peoples/tribes of the Amazon basin region in South America, I am requesting military aid from the United States and/or Canada in keeping out resource extraction industries and all other non-Indigenous Amazonian invaders who would develop or otherwise clear/destroy the Amazon rainforest or pollute its waterways.

My Response to the Human Rights and Natural Rights Crisis of “MMIWG” (Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Girls)

Please note: I use the words “Native” and “indigenous” interchangeably as one and the same meaning in this missive.

Indigenous women and girls are genetic repositories of ancestral wisdom, which is linked to the Native homelands of our ancestors. Indigenous women and girls have a biological and spiritual connection to the natural habitat of not only their present-day homes but also to their tribe’s traditional territory. An assault on the nature, on the environment of our ancestral homelands is an assault upon the indigenous person, most particularly females, who are more energetically and hormonally bonded to the natural world.

I recently learned of one case of a murdered First Nations woman in Canada. After weeks of her disappearance, her dead body was found symbolically placed at the base of a tree. I suspect that loggers were most likely responsible for her murder. This woman was not an environmental activist, but it appears the loggermen thought that they could do more damage to the forest by ritually killing an indigenous woman who holds a spiritual and genetic kinship to the land. Her murderers, whether they had a conscious awareness or not, knew their victim’s ancestral rights to that region and her moral dominion of the nature there, superseded their own.

The disappearance and murder of indigenous people has been an egregious form of domestic terrorism yet it has not been reported in mainstream media outlets to my knowledge. Those who run these mainstream media outlets are non-Natives who have the arrogant and flawed mentality of a colonizer’s privilege: their self-entitlement is appallingly shameful and their mistreatment of Indigenous Peoples as though we do not exist or have no right to exist is blatant racism on their part.

Non-indigenous people instinctively know and feel they have no moral or ancestral right to exist in the traditional territories of indigenous peoples and the non-indigenous clearly resent us for it.

Non-indigenous people know their immigrant ancestors were wrong to invade and otherwise relocate to a country that had and/or still has pre-existing people, Indigenous People, who suffered near-genocide and near-ethnocide from invading colonizers and imperialists.

Indigenous people have still more recently suffered forms of near-ecocide from non-Natives and their corporations who have an extremely evil and false notion they have any right to the natural resources of traditional indigenous people.

The assault of Indigenous Peoples, our ancestral homelands/territories, and our natural resources will end when non-indigenous human bodies either stop procreating or leave permanently.

I am tri-racial and multi-ethnic and I am glad I have U.S. Native American, First Nations, Indigenous Caribbean, and (albeit, most distantly) Indigenous Amazonian ancestry. However, I am NOT thankful for the means in which my multi-ethnicity came about, which involved enslavement and forced removal of some of my West African and Native American ancestors and the desperate folly of my peasant European ancestors seeking a “better life” in North America.

What some human bodies have failed to comprehend, a “better life” for someone is at the expense, labor, deprivation, and/or suffering of someone else.

If I had a choice, I would have chosen to be a full-blooded Indigenous American of one or more of the tribes I am descended from.

I would have chosen a world without European imperialism or other foreign invasion.

I would have chosen a world before 1492.
