President Barack Obama, addressing a tribal nations conference at the White House last week, announded that the U.S. government is now supporting the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous People, which includes a sweeping declaration that "indigenous peoples" have a right to lands and resources they traditionally occupied or "otherwise used."
"Indigenous peoples have the right to the lands, territories and resources which they have traditionally owned, occupied or otherwise used or acquired," says the U.N. resolution.
The Bush administration had declined to support the resolution.
At the White House Tribal Nations Conference, Obama reminded the group that last year he signed a resolution passed by Congress that finally recognizes the sad and painful chapters in our shared history--a history too often marred by broken promises and grave injustices against the First Americans, he said.
The president added that no statement can undo the damage that was done, but he said the resolution can help reaffirm the principles that should guide our future.

In the Klamath region that is translating into tens of millions of dollars gifted to the tribes, as well as new fishing rights and the Mazama National Forest being given to one of the tribes. (Grant of money for the Yuroks to buy more land as well.) In addition, under social and economic justice, any agreement the feds craft includes as a priority “tribal trust” obligations, such as dam removal and redirecting privately owned water use rights to flows for fish.
If any “indigenous peoples” come on to my property and try to take it away from me, they’ll have to fight me for it.
‘Capital Gains Taxes’ owed on propertys appreciation and improvements will more than pay off the debt smart move
I call “Dibs!” on all of Africa!
My ancestors came from there.
The tribes lands will then have to be sold to raise the 55% Inheritance Tax giving more Obama money to spread around
Obama needs a ‘Drug Test’
So does that mean the English can have England back from the muzzies?
SO:
On the one hand the “Indigenous People” deserve to re-inherit the money and property they lost and the government should give it to them.
BUT:
On the other hand when you die your kids don’t deserve to inherit the money and property you earned throughout your lifetime and the government should take it.
I don’t get it. :0/
Well the UN can come and take my land to give it to the “indigenous people” that once lived here.
I dare them.
Racial Fascism?
The current Serbian population has its origins a bit further West ~ which is why they look so terribly Northern European.
What a crock-and one based on outdated archaelogical research as well. The most recent archaelogical research seems to show that the question shouldn’t be who discovered America, but who DIDN’T. And it looks like the Mongoloid peoples who came across the Bering land bridge in the ice age came to an America already occupied by some Solutreans from Europe, and in southern Mexico and South America, probably some people from parts of Africa. There doesn’t seem to be any way in hell to prove who occupied what part of the world first, and there probably hasn’t been a “pure race” or “indigenous peoples” for 10,000 years or more. This is just more UN kumbaya pablum for people who don’t read non-fiction or watch National Geographic.
I’m of hispanic ancestry, with a heavy brushstroke of Apache-do I get some free land in what used to be Apacheria, or do I get bundled off to Spain, along with my whole family?
Before long, they may have it.
The Solutreans (mostly my kinda folks) were actually beaten out by some other guy who left behind a copralite in a cave in Oregon. We don’t know if he was East Asian, Congolese, European or from Mars, but right now he’s first!
I’m 1/8 Cherokee and will be surveying various homes in the coming weeks. If I like yours be prepared for me to take 1/8 of it because Obama and the UN said I can.
That is all...
From the Law of Nations...”The savages of North America had no right to appropriate all that vast continent to themselves; and since they were unable to inhabit the whole of those regions, other nations might, without injustice, settle in some parts of them, provided they left the natives a sufficiency of land.”
So, don't work it too hard ~ you only want to do them one at a time ~ GREAT VACATION spots all (in season).
Well, that settles it-if he was first, then the decendants of everyone else-Solutreans, Africans, Asians, whatever-all have to leave!
We have to be careful to NOT claim places where "they" can take the water supply with them ~ you know, like California. Without water it's just another piece of the Gran Sonora.
