Russell Means – Lakota Declares Its Sovereignty
“We are no longer citizens of the United States of America and all those who live in the five-state area that encompasses our country are free to join us,” long-time Indian rights activist Russell Means told a handful of reporters and a delegation from the Bolivian embassy, gathered in a church in a run-down neighborhood of Washington for a news conference.
A delegation of Lakota leaders delivered a message to the State Department on Monday, announcing they were unilaterally withdrawing from treaties they signed with the federal government of the United States, some of them more than 150 years old.
They also visited the Bolivian, Chilean, South African and Venezuelan embassies, and will continue on their diplomatic mission and take it overseas in the coming weeks and months, they told the news conference.
Lakota country includes parts of the states of Nebraska, South Dakota, North Dakota, Montana and Wyoming.
The new country would issue its own passports and driving licences, and living there would be tax-free — provided residents renounce their US citizenship, Means said.
The treaties signed with the United States are merely “worthless words on worthless paper,” the Lakota freedom activists say on their website.
The treaties have been “repeatedly violated in order to steal our culture, our land and our ability to maintain our way of life,” the reborn freedom movement says.
Withdrawing from the treaties was entirely legal, Means said.”

Cool..tx…love IndianintheMachine…cheers
Shame on you America
Democracy and freedom the American way.
By FORCE
Peace be with you Russell.
If I had enough land to feed my self I would do the same even if living in our country (Slo) is not that bad at all yet
Amazing…;-)
;D I’d love to see a domino effect.
Pretty pretty please!
Wishing them all the best. I wish I lived in one of those states.
Freedom To Be Repsonsible!!!!
I’m in…..
Power to the people!!! I want to live in that country. I hope the first nations here in Canada do the same thing. I will say right now, they have the support and backing of at least one man! You can not really accuse people of breaking a treaty, when the people on the other side of said treaty have been breaking it since before the ink dried.
Peace, Protection, and Power to these Warriors and all other free thinking people!!!!

Next. A handful of Lakota braves attack Sioux City with bows and arrows on horseback. Obama learnes of this on the golf course and sends them a check for tens of millions of dollars. The UN recognizes the Lakota Nation and Venezuela’s Chavez hires them to open a casino chain in Caracas. How fun!

Great post Zen!
I would like to share some of the Lakota to English translations regarding some his statements.
From the Lakota language:
kiwani (kee-WAH-nee) awakening
nagi napeyapi (nah-GHEE nah-PAY-yah-pee) psychic shock, literally they make the spirit flee.
Russell Means is a Wahosi (wah-HO-shee) and wakanhca (wah-KAHN-ka’chah) meaning messenger and a true seer, and is stating wahupa (wah-HOO-pah) meaning realization of the ultimate, enlightenment.
Russell’s statement about personal responsibility in Lakota is called tawamiciya (tah-WAH-mee-ch ee-yah) to belong to one’s self, free of other men.
To all of you at this site and elsewhere in Lakota:
tecihila (tay-CHEE-khee-lah) means I love you.
Randall
Russell is also a Constitutional Law expert…
But is he an economist? Fine and dandy to start up a country, but what will sustain you? Doesn’t sound thought out to me.
He may not be an economist, but I know without a shadow of a doubt by your comment, that you are no historian. You’ve been a slave so long that you can’t even imagine that there is actually an honest, peaceful way to govern.
What a concept, power to the people. It is a travesty what has been done to the native Americans.The USA is no longer ‘We The People’ and I’m beginning to wonder if it ever was or when it changed.
I never knew that “Indian” meant “in with God” as Russell Means stated. God bless them and prove their efforts to be noble and empower them to thrive.
You ever hear of earthships? They are self sufficient homes, constructed of tires and other free/cheap materials. The builders seem to have problems with zoning and permits, in lakota nation, can these be developed? Also similar is earthbag construction. They maybe people you may want to contact and work with.

After the Corp US BREAKING all TREATIES, and Conscripting the Tribal Nations; to Govt. Plantations while STEALING their Indigenous heredimentary Birth Right Lands, It may be tuff to Cut: CorpoRAT Whore of BaBa’alYAHans’s APRON STRINGS of Strangulation ? May the GREAT CREATION SPIRIT Free them From their BONDS?
Congratulations!!!! Please forcibly inform all of the so called “Americans”.
I hope that all such nations and freemen, follow suit. I will help and would like to join please inform.
Thanx for sharing….was planning to move to Idaho next spring maybe have to re-think on that to the Dakatos.What a great message.
Why was the video uploaded in 2008 on youtube? I take it, this is not a recent development, is it?
you are correct, this is not a recent development. you will notice that there has been (as of yet) no direct retaliation by USAInc.
this may be the answer for us all, not to join them necessarily, but to mimic their strategy.

The initial declaration was made in 2007, but on September 29, Russell Means reiterated what he and others declared then, and this time the news has reached a wider audience, and been disseminated by writers like Stephen Lendman in the last few days. Russell Means is a truly powerful individual who recently cured himself of quite advanced cancer using indigenous techniques and herbs.
Good for the Lakota. I hope everything works out for them. Wouldn’t it be nice to abolish our social security numbers and truly be set free. Zen, how about a run at the presidency. You have my vote.
This is a wonderful idea, kinda wonder why they waited so long, but I’m all for it. The Fed might not think much about this initially, but just imagine if all of the original tribal nations followed suit? Everybody talks about their being another way and making a better world, here are some folks who are doing it!

Certainly much evidence that the US Corporation is run by a Death Cult.
There is purportedly a lifetime of oil under that land. I pray and hope that the US doesn’t again declare war on my red brothers.

This man’s eyes speak truth. When he said the people need “freedom from confinement”, I felt it. I’d say he is already in 5D and those who “hear” him are, too. Love, A.
This has been a long time coming. As the saying goes, ;we are all Indians now’.

Stephen Lendman recently published a great article, that everyone should read, titled Lakota Sioux Nation Leaves America : http://sjlendman.blogspot.com/2012/09/lakota-sioux-nation-leaves-america.html
I went to the University of South Dakota in the mid 70′s.. Russell Means and George Banks were with American Indian Movement and part of the group that took over Alcatraz. The Lakota Indians wallow in poverty, and self pity. They could not survive without help from the government. On the pine Ridge reservation and the Yankton one, they were given brand new homes on the reservations that would be trashed within a year. Many tribes such as the Apaches would take government money and build shopping centers, ski resorts, etc.. The Lakota Sioux took it and squandered it and never did anything to better their lot. Things may have changed since then, but I doubt it. This group will never survive unless of course they are going to get help from Hugo Chavez or George Soros, which would not surprise me..
I am so proud to be an American Indaian. I look forward to supporting/joining this movement! Peace Profound to us all.
OUTSTANDING! The government has been screwing over the Native Americans since the Europeans set foot upon their (American Indian’s) land. obozo won’t even know they’ve declared sovereignty. States should do the same thing to rid ourselves of the trash who have encrusted themselves in our government.
Might interesting Mr. Means. I’ve been writing about those souls interested in leaving the USA, starting a new country, joining the Free State Movement, etc. and your idea is splendid and one I’ll be sharing. Please keep us updated as to the friction you encounter from Washington.
How ya going to handle this one obummer??!!
I wish the lower 48 states do the same. In other words. Tell Washington to go to hell.
This is foolish. He cannot renounce US citizenship for “his people”; they would have to do it individually and what if many of them don’t want to. Cancelling the treaties also cancels their protections. If this actually happens, watch the oil & gas & mining companies arrange leases with the federal government, pave roads, set up convenience stores and exercise eminent domain to take property. Romantic, but foolish.
Foolish you say my friend…? only to you.
Those of us with native blood see it as HOPE..
..hopefully our elders here in the south east will give up their casino ambitions and do the correct thing for our people here…..foolish you say? Well from the heart spues forth the well spring of love or bile……which path of the tongue do you speak from?
Lash on, old vet…right by you….Z
I’d like to see all Amerind Nations do this.
Personally tho it might be better for there to be a united Indian Nations lobby/agency in DC to get back all that’s been stolen by broken treaties and lies.
Yes, good concept….but they lie and deceive no matter what. The Lakota are sticking that fact in their lying faces for all to see. Bless them, bless them, and bless them. – Z
Russel Means has taken the convictions of his heart and his people, his culture and his birthright with profound courage to the ultimate. I pray that the Great Creator walk with him and his people to provide an example to the rest of the tribal nations. Mvto Russell Means!

Do you accept one eighth Osage for citizenship in your nation?
Lead the way my Lakota Brother!! Many Nations will follow! I will follow and if need be, i will die for my people, for our cultural freedom!! aho all my relations.
I fully and wholeheartedly support the Lakotas! I am so tired of the USAInc being the bully of the world… and all the lies and deception of the politicians and their flunkies and the REAL rulers (NOT the politicians…) and their flunkies…
End NWO! It’s time for ALL people to return to their TRUE NATURE and be FREE!
There’s much more to this story than mentioned here.
