The “Indian ‘Original Reservation Lands’ Restoration Act”

To adopt a law which totally restores the “Original Reservation Lands” of each American Indian Reservation within the United States of America to its original size, acreage, and under the authority and care of, by, and to its original owner, the Indigenous Red “Indian” Nation (previously referred to as an “American Indian Tribe”) to which the land was initially and originally specified and agreed to, thereby relinquish and properly and adequately relocate any and all claims to those lands and areas by non-Indigenous entities such as squatters, homesteaders, u.s. citizens, the National Park Service, the Departments of War/Defense/Interior, the Bureau of Land Management, and any other federal government agency, bureau, department, or official.thereby relinquishing and properly and adequately relocating any and all claims to those lands and areas by non-Indigenous entities such as squatters, homesteaders, U.S. citizens, the National Park Service, the Departments of War/Defense/Interior, the Bureau of Land Management and any other federal government agency, bureau, department, or official.

Be it enacted by the United States Congress;
SECTION 1. PURPOSES
The purposes of this act are to - -
(1) Return all original reservation lands to their previous and original owner, the American Indian tribe who the land was originally and initially granted to.
(2) Remove and relocate any and all squatters, homesteaders, U.S. citizens, the National Park Service, the Department of War/Defense/Interior, the Bureau of Land Management, and any other federal government agency, bureau, department, or official.
(3) Develop and enhance positive relationships between the United States and Indigenous Red “Indian” Nations and Peoples with respect to inherent Indigenous lands, homelands and Treaty territories originally agreed upon and designated by federal authority.
(4) To provide for adequate amounts of land necessary to accommodate the rapidly growing Indigenous population and their necessary lands conducive to spiritual and economic needs.

SECTION 2. STATEMENT OF CONGRESS
(a) The congress recognizes that the territories currently referred to as the “United States of America” are the indigenous aboriginal homelands of Indigenous Red Nations and Peoples who, despite diminished numbers, continue to remain a living, breathing and resurging population; the Indigenous Peoples of Great Turtle Island (the “western hemisphere”).
(b) The congress recognizes that since the year 1776, the United States has often violated the rights of Indigenous Red Peoples and failed to honor both legal and moral laws and that this practice must cease; American’s should not feel guilty but should instead live up to their own laws and do what is morally and legally responsible and correct and return the originally and legally mandated reservation lands to each American Indian Tribe.
(c) The congress recognizes that during occasion, Indian lands were immorally “opened up” by the government of the United States to settlement and occupation by non-Indigenous peoples, groups, and states, such as squatters, homesteaders, U.S. citizens, the National Park Service, the Department of War/Defense, the Bureau of Land Management and any other federal government agency, bureau, department, or official.
(d) The congress recognizes that Indigenous populations are rising rapidly (many times more than the non-Indigenous in places such as South Dakota, where the non-Indigenous growth rate is zero) and their original homelands are critical to their population, economic, and spiritual concerns of their nations. Currently, over 43% of all formerly “reservation lands” are occupied and controlled by non-Indigenous peoples.
(e) The congress recognizes that the freedom of Indigenous peoples hinges upon their ability to have, live upon, and manage their own lands and destiny, in line with the self-government policies initiated by the u.s. government with regard to Indian tribes in the past years.
(f) The congress recognizes that Indians were themselves relocated to the cities of the United States in the mid 1900’s in attempts to ultimately reduce the size of Indian reservations and disrupt Indigenous spirituality and nationhood, and understands the frustration a handful of American non-Indigenous citizenry may feel when paid by federal funds to relocate off from reservation lands.
(g) The congress recognizes that Indigenous peoples have claims to other lands through supreme law Treaties and do not hereby relinquish any rights to lands previously claimed for hunting, gathering, fishing, or otherwise “living.”
(h) The congress respects and recognizes that Indigenous spirituality is centered on access to and use of natural lands and surroundings and that their original reservation lands are crucial to their existence as Indigenous peoples.
(i) The congress recognizes that economic land base usage is critical to the enhancement of industry, trade, and growth for Indigenous nations.
(j) The congress recognizes that many acts of congress to “open up” Indigenous lands may or may not be illegal, but that no further or future claims can be made against the government for reservation lands lost illegally or immorally, upon passage and adoption of this act.

SECTION 3. DEFINITIONS
For the purposes of this act:
(1) The term “Indigenous Person” is a more appropriate term than the misnomers “Native American” and “American Indian”.
(2) The term “non-Indigenous” means any citizen or entity of the United States and not a member or citizen of any federally recognized Indian Tribe.
(3) The term “Original Reservation Lands” refers to the initial, originally mandated, ordered, agreed upon, and/or designated Indian reservation land holdings of Indigenous Red Nations and Peoples (“American Indian Tribes”).
