Lakotah Sovereignty
1700's: Lakotah governed themselves as they had for thousands of years.
1803: Louisiana Purchase Treaty between US and France in which the US promises
to respect the liberties, property and religious rights of the inhabitants of
the territory, which includes the Lakotah.
1805-1868: Numerous treaties between the US and Sioux Nation, all of which have
been violated by the US.
NOTE: The Treaty commission,
representing the militarily defeated United States of America, came to Lakotah
in 1868, begging for peace, and we gave it to them, once again securing the 1851
boundaries. During their return trip to Washington DC, the Treaty Commission of
the United States of America stopped over in Chicago and changed the boundaries
of the Lakotah Nation to eliminating all land south of the present day
Nebraska-South Dakota border, all lands in Wyoming south of that latitude, and
diminishing the lands in Montana and North Dakota. In 1876, the Black Hills were
illegally taken. In reviewing this taking, the United States Supreme Court, in
United States v. Sioux Nation of
Indians, 448 U.S. 371, 388 (1980), stated:
1974: International Treaty Conference attended by over 5000 Lakotah, including
many elders. Lakotah elders give two mandates to attendees, international
recognition of indigenous rights, and sovereignty.
Declaration of Continuing Independence also issued by the conference.
September 2007: UN passes the Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples.
December 2007: Lakotah Freedom Delegation withdraws from all treaties
with the US.

Watch The Land Larceny

A 1932 report from the United States General
Accounting Office shows that the entire Lakotah, Dakotah, and Nakotah nation has
claims to over 190 million acres in over 11 states. While, for convenience, we
are currently focusing on the 1851 Treaty map area with special focus on the
Black Hills, our holy land, we are not waiving our claims toany of our
traditional land. |
