Shoshone/Lakota Alliance

In 1887 a unilateral piece of government legislation called the Dawes Allotment Act began an official erosion of Indigenous rights to their ancient homelands. The Act violated Article VI of the U.S. Constitution that states, Treaties made with Indian nations shall be the supreme law of the land.
In 1946, the Indian Claims Commission Act was adopted which pressured requests by 1934 Indian Reorganization Act tribal councils for money only - no land as total settlement for territory occupied illegally by government forces.
In 1980, the Supreme Court (exposed as corrupt in the 2000 presidential election when they voted their party lines) rendered a ruling on a concocted Sioux claim, stating that the government should pay off the Lakota a miniscule fraction of what was and is stolen from the resource-rich Black Hills area.
Later in the 1990s, rumors abounded that the bank interest of the ridiculous Black Hills Sioux Claim (as the Lakota rejected any money for the Black Hills and want the land back and punitive damage payments instead) had somehow risen to upwards of $600 million dollars. This propaganda put forth by government agents was an attempt to entice greedy tribal councils into trying to get the money into their tribal general funds bank accounts at the tribal government level.
Today, the ramifications of the same illegal 1946 claims act are being felt by the Shoshone Indigenous Nation in occupied Nevada. In attempts to silence opposition of Shoshone Citizens with regard to the ongoing theft and occupation of gold from mines there (the third largest gold production in the world) the American government is now moving to pass legislation (HR884/S618) which attempts to force feed money down the throats of Shoshone at a tiny fraction of what their Homelands are worth.
Over $9 trillion dollars in gold alone was illegally pilfered and transported to Fort Knox, Kentucky from within the Lakotas sacred He Sapa (misnomer Black Hills). Billions in timber and coal are still being stolen each year form this same area. Yet most Lakota are impoverished and have not received one penny for this theft.
There is confusion about the claims money continually being dangled in front of oppressed, impoverished Indigenous Peoples. It is the duty of the Lakota, however, to deny any existence of such claims and other such concoctions of illegal government acts.
The Lakota join the Shoshone in saying, Punitive damage payments now - our gold is not for sale! Contact the legislators in your area and tell them to denounce, reject, and repeal the illegal 1946 Indian Claims Commission Act, the so-called Black Hills Sioux Claim, the current congress bill HR884/S618 against the Shoshone, and all other violations of the U.S. Constitution and supreme law Treaties.
