She wrote, \u201cI have learned that many of the complex issues that Native Americans face in the energy development context today are rooted in a long history of land and resource dispossession. In particular, the policy of allotment implemented by the Dawes Act in 1887 continues to have significant impacts on the development of energy resources throughout Indian Country.\u201d\u00a0 This is very insightful, but the Dawes Act which reduced the Indian land base from 130 million acres in 1887 to 49 million acres in 1933 must be seen as government sponsored land theft, \u00a0plain and simple.\u00a0 To be sure, the letter of this unjust law allotted (gave or assigned) to each Indian a 160-acre tract while the other \u00a081 million acres, they gave to themselves.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #818181;\">What any outside observer will more than likely miss is that even at Standing Rock, the Dawes Act is still at play. In the same way the Dawes Act purported to \u201cgive\u201d the Indians land in 1887, today the government purports to \u201cgive\u201d the Indians the right to occupy America.\u00a0 How is it that white man can<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #818181;\">give something that he does not own<\/span><strong><span style=\"color: #818181;\">?\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"color: #d5d5d5;\">The truth of the matter is that here in America, there are two sets of laws: one for the Indians and one for everybody else.<\/span><\/strong><span style=\"color: #d5d5d5;\">\u00a0The definition of \u201c<strong>American Indian law<\/strong>\u201d is: \u201c<strong>The body of law dealing with American Indian tribes and their relationships to federal and state governments, private citizens, and each other\u201d.<\/strong>\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"color: #818181;\">\u00a0In this \u201cbody of law\u201d, terms such as land\u00a0 \u201ctitle\u201d are redefined and you need a law dictionary to keep up with the double talk.\u00a0 You would think that land title would denote \u201cownership\u201d.\u00a0 Not so in \u201cAmerican Indian Law\u201d.\u00a0 In American Indian Law when the white man has title, the white man owns the land and when the Indian has title, the white man also owns the land. In order to understand this Satanic concept we need to refer to Black\u2019s Law Dictionary.\u00a0<\/span><strong><span style=\"color: #d5d5d5;\">\u201cIndian Title\u201d is defined as, \u201cA right of occupancy that the federal government grants to an American Indian tribe based on the tribe\u2019s immemorial possession of the area. Congress does not recognize tribal ownership of the land, only possession.\u201d<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"color: #d5d5d5;\">How can the Indians live on the land from time immemorial and when the white man shows up, he owns everything? The answer is very simple. The United States government is standing on the white supremacist colonial law which was codified in the 1823 Supreme Court decision of Johnson v. M\u2019Intosh- the \u201cdoctrine of discovery\u201d.\u00a0 On August 6, 2001, in reply to the question by the UN committee on the Elimination of Racial Discrimination, the U.S. representatives said that they considered the 1863 Treaty of Ruby Valley only in the context of Johnson v. M\u2019Intosh.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #d5d5d5;\"><strong>This is significant because the Western Shoshone took their 1863 Treaty of Ruby Valley all the way through the U.S. court system but each court found excuses not to address the treaty.\u00a0 In reality all Carrie Dann and the Western Shoshone got for their three decade court fight was a kangaroo court based on the Doctrine of Discovery. \u00a0They wear you down, then throw paper dollars at you. Any time the U.S. government\u00a0 runs a people\u00a0 around for 30 years in the guise of justice, then offers a cash settlement to an impoverished people, the United Nations should declare any such fraud null and void.\u00a0 Why?\u00a0 Because the Doctrine of Discovery posits that American Indians are not human being enough to own anything. Why?\u00a0 Because the judicial system concerning Indians has been rigged with white supremacist colonial law.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>The United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples requires in Article 27 that, \u201dStates shall\u2026adjudicate the rights of indigenous peoples pertaining to their lands, territories and resources.\u201d In \u201cAmerican Indian Law\u201d the term \u201cadjudicate\u201d seems to have been redefined to mean \u201ca kangaroo court where the Indians always lose.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>Steve Melendez, Paiute\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>President , \u00a0American Indian Genocide Museum\u00a0\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Member, \u00a0Reno-Sparks Indian colony<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The United Nations Special Rapporteur on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples, Victoria Tauli-Corpuz,\u00a0 just published her End of Mission Statement March 3, 2017.
