| U.N.A. News: Why Tribes Should Not Withdraw From Treaties! | Why Tribes Should Not Withdraw From Treaties
Following is a statement from the office of Rodney M. Bordeaux,
president of the Rosebud Sioux Tribe:
On December 19th, 2007 four individuals calling themselves the
Lakota Freedom Delegation held a press conference at the Plymouth
Congregational Church in Washington DC where they announced a
plan to withdraw from all Treaties signed by Indian Tribes with
the United States.
President Rodney Bordeaux of the Rosebud Sioux Tribe stated that
he does not agree with Russell Means' position that the Sioux
tribes should withdraw from the 1851 and 1868 treaties. "Our
Grandfathers fought and died for these treaties; they are the
backbone of Sioux Tribes' legal relationship with the United
States. They protect our remaining lands, our water, our
resources, our Rights and our Sovereignty. Without these
treaties, the United States Congress and the multi-national
corporations that control it will attempt to steal all the
remaining treaty lands and sovereignty we have left through their
legal institutions, " he said.

The group plans to visit more embassies in the coming months.

| Native Nation: From President Rodney Bordeaux of Rosebud Reservation | December 22, 2007
Hello all,
I spoke to the President of the Rosebud Sioux Tribe,
Rodney M. Bordeaux, just a short while ago and he has given me permission to say that it is highly unfortunate that this group of individuals inappropriately tried to represent the Lakota Nations.
President Bordeaux informed me that the Lakota Nations will be meeting in Rapid City, South Dakota tomorrow to discuss this matter in full. As he said, "These people do not speak on our behalf." Bordeaux was contacted by KSTP AM out of Minneapolis and he spoke on the air earlier today. In addition, Gannet News contacted Bordeaux for a comment. Gannet News is owned by the Sioux Falls Argus Leader.

A delegation of Lakota leaders has delivered a message to the State Department, and said they were unilaterally withdrawing from treaties they signed with the federal government of the U.S., some of them more than 150 years old.

| Why Hitler Loved America | HOW THE U.S.A's slaughter of Indians and immigration policies inspired him.
In Hitler's view, the US had become a major power by 'ethnic cleansing' of
the native inhabitants: he saw clearly that the US itself, which poses as a
nation state, is in fact an Empire. It's just that the annihilation of the
indigenous inhabitants was so complete that we don't see the US as an Empire.

| U.N.A. News: Eastern Band of Cherokee is and will remain a sovereign nation | Mon Oct 22, 2007 4:55 am (PST)
Eastern Band of Cherokee is and will remain a sovereign nation
As the Principal Chief of the Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians, I felt
compelled to respond to the recent disturbing press release issued by Asheville
Councilman Carl Mumpower belittling our Nation as a special-interest group.
Mumpower would not be the first American politician advocating for the
destruction of our tribe and for the dissolution of our rights to exist as a
distinct Nation.
Many advocate for our demise out of ignorance about our historic
government-to- government relationship with the United States.
Look at history

| U.N.A. News: Crazy Horse Fights His Last Battle | On this day in 1877, Crazy Horse and his warriors--outnumbered, low on ammunition and forced to use outdated weapons to defend themselves--fight their final losing battle against the U.S. Cavalry in Montana. Six months earlier, in the Battle of Little Bighorn, Crazy Horse and his ally, Chief Sitting Bull, led their combined forces of Sioux and Cheyenne to a stunning victory over Lieutenant Colonel George Custer (1839-76) and his men. The Indians were resisting the U.S. government's efforts to force them back to their reservations. After Custer and over 200 of his soldiers were killed in the conflict, later dubbed "Custer's Last Stand," the American public wanted revenge. As a result, the U.S. Army launched a winter campaign in 1876-77, led by General Nelson Miles (1839-1925), against the remaining hostile Indians on the Northern Plains.
