Indigenous have sovereignty constitutional rights to govern Thier own land! If people want to regain Thiers freedoms and rights maybe they need to fight the good fight with the indigenous for the benefit of all mankind 🤷🏾♀️
is sad because i am mixed blood with meany tribes in me im 84% native but can not clame any tribe member ship even since i was raised as a native in the culture and have I have 6 different tribes in my blood i do not think of my self as white since i only have 2% and don't clam my 13% African ..then i get piss when i see white 1/8 or 1/16 clam Cherokee and there members of the Tribe ... it is messed up
Can't blame the cherokee for that one buddy , only way we can claim to be cherokee and it be true is if we have the blood and have our family history and our traditions to point fingers at another tribe is petty I am only 1/16 but my tribe signed the treaties and the dawes rolls if your tribe didn't I'm sorry
Is there a record of all the nations whose sovereignty was revoked by the USA gov? That’s significantly important to the families directly affected. So, it makes me think that there are/were more nations than the so-called 7 civilized nations.
tribal sovereignty has nothing to do with gender and race- and multiple supreme court cases shows and explains (if you choose to read) just that. It is a political governmental relation with one nation and another (one the US considers a domestic nation). Each tribal citizen is a dual citizen, one of their tribal nation and one of the US.
@@imyou5437 The reality is that membership to certain tribes is worth a significant amount of money, and the elders have the absolute right to say who is a member and who is not, giving them undue power over the entire tribe. It's just another case that the road to hell is paved with good intentions.
@@whartanto2 Elders do not have the absolute right to determine membership. Very few tribes actually make a significant amount of money. The two largest tribes in the US are the Navajo and the Cherokee, neither provide money to their members. You're literally just making shit up based on your own stereotypes of Indigenous people.
You have a harsh tongue. I feel it like a whip. But yeah, as long as the rivers flow and the grass grows. We will honor our treaties. That's why I liked it so much when the Chippewa won their treaty rights. But I have questions too. Do people have the right to migrate? And do they have the right to resist migration?
That restriction exists in order to continue miseducation. Similar to laws that made it a crime to teach people how to read and write. When you can read and interpret law etc you gain your own Right to self-determination. Other resources are the Library of Congress. Hioefulky they haven’t blocked access to that.
So WHY doesn't a Native Lawyer re-file this case that Andrew Jackson REFUSED to follow that has set the precedent for all US Indian law and get today's Supreme Court to re-examine it? WHY NOT?
Because Jackson used a whole bunch of loopholes to not actually violate the Supreme Court's authority. For one, the Removal Treaties were done to put this Constitutional crisis to rest. The SC ruled that Georgia could not extend its laws over the Cherokee Reservation. Jackson, in turn, treated with the Cherokee to remove to Indian Territory and give up their lands in Georgia. Since this effectively abrogated the Cherokee reservation, Georgia was no longer violating the SC decision because there was no longer a reservation so Georgia extending its laws over that land was no longer at odds with the SC decision. Another big loophole was the Congressional recess. The matter would have been sent to Congress had Georgia refused to comply with the SC decision. However, Georgia never said they weren't going to abide by the SC's decisions. They simply just didn't say anything so the matter could not go to Congress in a timely manner and Congress broke for recess before it could reach them. By the time Congress returned from its recess, Jackson had already begun removal and there was no real need for Congress to intervene. All of that might seem like it doesn't really relate to your point but, since Jackson never did anything technically illegal and, once the Cherokee Nation reservation was sold to the government, Georgia was no longer violating the law.
@@noconaroubideaux9423 The 1835 Treaty of New Echota wasn't signed by a majority of Cherokee leaders and/or citizens, which was required. The US didn't care, and violated the treaty. An argument could be made that later treaties were indeed signed, changing the previous agreements. I would argue that these new treaties, and most of the 300 that have been signed between the US and Indian Nations, were signed under duress. There is even an Indian treaty in D.C. that still has blood on it.
Many native people that got left out of these tribal lists got assimilated into the broader population simce the indian problem. Also many tribes continued to resist being subjected to white settlers and their families bloodlines still exist today.
1:02 I would argue it wasn't as simple as, "...they were seen as inferior people...". More likely is that this refusal to let sovereign nations raise their own armies is due to the simple fact that the conquering people did not want the conquered peoples to rise up against them. If the U.S. really believed Native Americans to be "inferior", why would it care if they raised armies or not? It seems more accurate to me to observe the fact that nations kept weak and subservient don't pose a threat. This, more than racism, is the "why" behind the refusal to let sovereign nations raise their own armies.
No, they’re not “basically” their own nations. They are their own nations. Governments cannot revoke the sovereignty of another group because sovereignty ultimately comes from the Creator. He gives it and dispossess it at will. Now, as for the matter of recognition.. well that does fall under the grasp of man and it is his choice to do so or not. But! What can you do about that!? Enjoy your heritage all together.

If you're sovereign then why don't you put up borders and why don't you self-sustain? I immigrated from Jordan a long time ago and never understood how one can say I'm sovereign but rely on the government for your money. I'm here to learn please help me ...
I can't speak for any other nation but with the cherokees the US giving us money was the deal they made in the treaties when the forcefully removed us we have our own casinos ,businesses, schools, counsel house ,constitution , our own tribal police, court houses, we vote and we give millions to Oklahoma schools, businesses , the state . So we are self sustaining Oklahoma would be poor if it wasn't for native tribes . And we don't have walls because our tribe is to big 400,000 strong and alot of them live outside the reservation we also have many races of people in our res from freedman to white that settled here

Historians revealed that at least a dozen other explorers, including Vasco Nunez de Balboa, also made record of seeing “NEGROES” when they reached the New World. The accounts match up with the reports from the natives in Mexico. Nicholas Leon, an eminent Mexican authority, recorded the oral traditions of his people and ultimately kept track of a key piece of evidence that Black people made it to the New World far before their European counterparts. His reports revealed accounts from natives saying “the oldest inhabitants of Mexico WERE BLACKS. [T]he existence of blacks and giants is commonly believed by nearly all the races of our sail and in their various language they had words to designate them. THE GRAVES NEVER LIE IT'S THE LIVING THAT LIES Ancient African Skeletons Discovered in the New World There have been many instances of archaeologists discovering skulls and skeletons that they believed clearly belonged to people of African descent. Polish professor Andrzej Wiercinski revealed the discovery of African skulls at Olmec sites in Tlatilco, Cerro de las Mesas and Monte Alban. Even more ancient African skeletons that would clearly predate Columbus’ arrival in the Americas were discovered throughout Central America and South America with some even being unearthed in what is now California.
"Indian" .... really?? You do all that research, put all that time into this video and you still use the word "Indian"???? I mean... I guess your heart is in the right place but one would think that this detail would be one of the most obvious things to make sure you got right. You mean well but seriously, its like talking about the oppression of African Americans in US and describing the people as the "N" word, maybe not quite as bad as that but.... not far from it.
The US is the most understanding to the Indian nation and do not tax and allow sovereign land to natives that own the land and pay no taxes by offering a card(red card) showing they are of sovereign land. You here how horrible this country is but you rarely find other nations that offer and allow these things to the people originally of the land they now claim.
The thing is that American Indians have contributed greatly to the US. It isn't pity, those were signed agreements between sovereigns. The US didn't and doesn't give sovereignty, the American Indian nations are inherently sovereign and exercise it. American Indian citizens still pay sales tax and income tax. The tribe as a whole does not pay state tax, because why would a sovereign pay another? Still, states sue tribes in court regularly. It also can't be counted out the American Indians who have lobbied to make these deals possible, since they have tribal and American citizenship.
Has anyone ever thought what America would look like if the "Colonizers" never came?? I personally believe it would just be another 3rd world country. I personally wouldn't be here. I'd be in my own country, Mexico, probably dirt poor.
Our Indigenous Peoples of the North American continent were rich in land, culture and resources before colonization. It is the very act of colonization that placed us in positions to live like those from 3rd world countries. Before reservations were mandated for us in the north to live on, we did not live in poverty. The same for our relations to the south - it was the effects of colonization that created the conditions for some of your people to live in poverty. Colonization did us no favors. It plummeted our cultures into loss of languages, cultural practices and poverty stricken existence, which many have never recovered from and some are at different levels of their recoveries. Rethink your ideas of colonization as a person of indigenous roots.
@@cherylwapesa-mayes9874 my family lived in the south. I never heard them speak of any problems during the great depression. Our family did not have money but we had land. They grew tobacco, corn, soybeans, cotton, peanuts, and sugar cane. We also had pecans, black walnuts, apples, pears, and peaches. All that crop was harvested and stored. We grew enough crops to feed more than just our family. They killed pigs, canned food and put food in the freezer. They really worked hard...I say this because by the time I came along...they had gotten old...but they were still farming. They were work-a-holics. We owned our own farm and they didn't know the word stop. I am glad for my upbringing. Today, I know how to plant a garden, cure bacon and ham, fish, and cook. Never learned canning I always did the prep work for it. Their favorite saying was, "Paul said, if you don't work you don't eat." They depended on themselves. They came and went as they pleased. You should have seen there gardens they were beautiful for the eye to see. I believe colonization is not designed for you to rise up and become totally independent of your colonizers. They came because they said you cannot manage without us and that is just the way it is. Even if they have to create the conditions to make it so their goal is to keep you dependent. That's my opinion. PS: It has been declared by the UN that there will be no more colonization. It is every man for himself.
@@antoinettewatson1632 my people are of the northern Plains. We depended on the bison for our food, clothing and shelter. When colonizers decimated the herds to put in railroads and encourage westward expansion, it changed our way of life that has affected many generations. Our experience is different from yours. I am thankful you were spared that. What tribe are you? I'm Assiniboine. Take care!
Did you know any humans born on this soil, whether called USA or not, are born indigenous Americans and therefor can form tribes and be granted the same benefits and freedoms?
Uhh not the point. And you clearly dont understand that white people try to claim that they are also “indigenous” or claim to be native(always said just for our benefits. :/ ) Not fun when people just ignorantly say this not understanding the effect of those words.
Saki thepenguin when White people came to the Americas they found the natives present living on the land but that land wasn't theirs just like it's not the white peoples. There were also megalithic structures here like pyramids which are believed to belong to a more ancient civilization who happens to be white. I think what the colonizers did when they came here is nasty and I don't believe in conquering other people's but that happened generations ago and the descendants of the white people are not responsible for it. As a society we can work towards repairing the damages inherited by the descendants of the natives who were here here during the time of conquering this land and developing this country but this is officially the home of all races and a majority of the people who live here are officially indigenous to this land. Not one colonizer or settler is still present and their ideals and standards have all but died with them. Shaking fists at white people is racist. You are being conditioned to target the wrong enemy. The enemy is the establishment. Not the people. The people are one.
@@gratefuldoge8598 Hmm I get what you're saying on some of your points, but unfortunately way way off on a couple. Descendants of white/European may not be responsible for their ancestors past, but there are many that are still doing dirt(we keep seeing it now in this century so...) to those that aren't white. True it's not EVERY descendant but... their "ideals and standards" are still taught and shared over generations with some of them. Europe has some pyramids, but so does Africa, South America, but you knew that.

Just because something is old doesn't mean it ought to stick around.
Did you know any humans born on this soil, whether called USA or not, are born indigenous Americans and therefor can form tribes and be granted the same benefits and freedoms?
G The Entity whites not indigenous they invaders .so no whites can't
Uhh not the point. And you clearly dont understand that white people try to claim that they are also “indigenous” or claim to be native(always said just for our benefits. :/ ) Not fun when people just ignorantly say this not understanding the effect of those words.
Saki thepenguin when White people came to the Americas they found the natives present living on the land but that land wasn't theirs just like it's not the white peoples. There were also megalithic structures here like pyramids which are believed to belong to a more ancient civilization who happens to be white. I think what the colonizers did when they came here is nasty and I don't believe in conquering other people's but that happened generations ago and the descendants of the white people are not responsible for it. As a society we can work towards repairing the damages inherited by the descendants of the natives who were here here during the time of conquering this land and developing this country but this is officially the home of all races and a majority of the people who live here are officially indigenous to this land. Not one colonizer or settler is still present and their ideals and standards have all but died with them. Shaking fists at white people is racist. You are being conditioned to target the wrong enemy. The enemy is the establishment. Not the people. The people are one.
No they are natives but not indigenous/aboriginal
@@gratefuldoge8598 Hmm I get what you're saying on some of your points, but unfortunately way way off on a couple. Descendants of white/European may not be responsible for their ancestors past, but there are many that are still doing dirt(we keep seeing it now in this century so...) to those that aren't white. True it's not EVERY descendant but... their "ideals and standards" are still taught and shared over generations with some of them. Europe has some pyramids, but so does Africa, South America, but you knew that.
