For millions of years Indigenous Red "Indian" Nations of the northern plains of Great Turtle Island, the "western hemisphere", lived in peace and harmony along side each other, conducting immense trade and international relations. These allied nations lived near and utilized for spiritual purposes the territories of the Black Hills (Big Horn Mountains), He Sapa (Black Jagged-Rocky-Mountains, misnomer "Black Hills"), and the Sacred Red Stone Canunpa ("Pipestone Quarries"). With the threat of non-Indigenous encroachment, the N/DN/D/Lakota (misnomer "Sioux"), Crow, Cheyenne, Arapaho, Hidatsa, Mandan, and Arikara Nations were prompted to protect, secure and insure their territorial homelands for future generations. Unlimited and undisturbed use and access to this area was agreed upon "on paper" by the seven nations, with the government of the United States, through the signing of the 1851 TREATY OF FORT LARAMIE on September 17, 1851 near Horse Creek in present day "Nebraska". The guarantees of the 1851 Treaty (Ratified u.s. senate 11 Stats., p. 749) are indisputable and do not allow for "negotiation", as they are mandated by unanimous approval through OYATE OMNICIYE "Circle Meetings of The People" - the ancient, female-inclusive and truly democratic manner of governing utilized for millions of years by the seven plains nations.

The following are facts with regard to the 1851 TREATY OF FORT LARAMIE, known as the "Treaty of Long Meadows" to the N/DN/D/Lakota and the "Great Horse Creek Treaty" to the Cheyenne;

1. It is a sacred document, unanimously agreed upon by each camp of each band, of each of the seven signatory nations. During the three week long 1851 Treaty gathering, the sacred White Buffalo Calf Canunpa (misnomer "Peace pipe") of the N/DN/D/Lakota, the Four Sacred Arrows of the Cheyenne, as well as the most sacred items of each of the other nations were present during the historic signing.
2. It is a unifying document among the seven allied nations to forever protect their sacred homelands.
3. It binds the u.s. government to honor the Treaty because Article VI of their U.S. Constitution states "Treaties made with Indian Nations shall be the supreme Law of the Land; and judges in every State shall be bound thereby, anything in the Constitution and Laws of any State to the contrary notwithstanding". Not even "supreme court rulings" can legally adversely affect the 1851 Treaty in any way because of its supremacy.
4. All so-called "acts and agreements" concocted after 1851 are continued, day-to-day violations of the sole legitimate 1851 Treaty and remain null and void.
5. Each of the seven red nations present during the 1851 signing were properly represented with their principal "speaking chiefs" who were selected by unanimous consensus by each camp of each nation. Among the more than 60 thousand Indigenous people present and witness to the historic 1851 Treaty were the parents of the soon-to-be-famous Tasunke Witko and Tatanka Iyotake (Crazy Horse and Sitting Bull).
6. It perpetually guarantees the natural, human and international legal rights of the seven signatory nations and relinquishes nothing.
