| 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.

| 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His Last Battle | On this day in 1877, Crazy Horse and his warriors--outnumbered, low on ammunition and forced to use outdated weapons to defend themselves--fight their final losing battle against the U.S. Cavalry in Montana.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.

1890 Indian Massacre Of Wounded Knee South Dakota
1890 "Then And Now"
It was the 29th day of the Moon of Popping Trees (December) in 1890. Peace
was sleeping within the warm winter wind under the murderous eyes of Gatling and
Hotchkiss guns, dug into the ridges surrounding the Lakota encampment. Chief
Spotted Elk ("Bigfoot" was the name soldiers gave him), flying the
flag of truce within his encampment, was dying from pneumonia. His people were
dying from fear of the white soldiers who had come to take revenge for the
defeat of their unit, the 7th Cavalry, at Little Bighorn in The Moon When the
Chokecherries are Ripe (June) in 1876.
All the soldiers needed was the smallest excuse to begin the massacre. A single
shot, according to a reporter on the scene, was fired from the soldiers, and
with that, the smallest excuse was manufactured.
