No! (sorry) :)
Am referring to the "Declaration of Sovereignty, Interpretation of
Jurisdictional Grounds" made by the "Lakota Confederacy of the Black Hill,"
"A Sovereign Nation re-established at Bear Butte July 14, 1991"
They said: "We the LAKOTA, NORTHERN CHEYENNE and on behalf of
signatories of the 1851 TREATY OF FT. LARAMIE, 1868, charge the United
States with the infringement of our territorial sovereignty. This violation
has been recorded in history as the 1871 Appropriations Act (Rider). Our
LAKOTA DECLARATION hereby terminates colonial occupation and interests of
the territory defined as "PERMANENT INDIAN TERRITORY" in the previously
mentioned treaties.
..."we are charging the United States for treaty fraud in the
alleged appropriation of this 1851 treaty boundary. The United States
cannot grant to themselves sovereignty to the territory still inhabited and
in use of the aboriginal title holders, which they legally do not possess.
A treaty in which fraud is invoked is not valid. The recognition of Lakota
sovereignty is still intact within both the U.S. Constitution and Lakota
people. Any attempt to supplant the legitimate sovereignty of the Lakota by
the absorption of territory without the course of negotiations must be
considered as an unlawful premature annexation."
I repeat the question at the end of my original post re this
Declaration. What is the point?
Peace...Jordan
