Please support the efforts of the Lakota Sioux to protect their land rights in the 1851 Treaty of Fort Laramie Homelands. How many treaties has the United States broken with Native Americans? ALL OF THEM, over and over again. Not only is the land and all its life at risk, but it is also illegal to continue the XL Pipeline, according to our own treaty. (njb)

Take this Resolution to your tribal councils, city councils, legislators, environmental groups, community groups and organizations and have them adopt as soon as possible:

Protect Grand Mother Earth - NO KXL Pipeline

Whereas, Unci Maka, Grand Mother Earth (misnomer “planet/globe”) is, in its entirety, a Very Sacred Site (like that of the Vatican, Bear Butte, or Mecca Circle), and

Whereas, the 1851 Treaty of Fort Laramie, agreed upon and officially signed between the N/DN/D/Lakota "Sioux" and the united states government on September 17th, 1851, guarantees perpetual ownership of all lands, waters, resources, and air of a majority portion of the Northern Great Plains of Great Turtle Island (including "western South Dakota") for the exclusive use and control of, by, and for the nine signatory Indigenous Red "Indian" Nations and Peoples thereof, and

Whereas, the 1851 Treaty of Fort Laramie is protected from u.s. government violation through Article VI of the United States Constitution that states, "Treaties made with Indian Nations shall be the supreme law of the land, with the judges in every state bound thereby", and

Whereas, a proposed "keystone XL underground pipeline project" violates the U.S. Constitution, the 1851 Treaty, and the sanctity of the Lands and purity of the Waters of the Treaty Territories, and

Whereas, the Ogallala aquifer, flowing beneath the ground under 1851 Territories, is one of the last pristine underground water sources flowing, as Life Blood, within Grand Mother Earth and must be protected from any toxics or oils that any project such as the proposed "KXL pipeline project" could cause, and

Whereas, such "KXL" project would also be a violation the 1988 Genocide Convention Implementation "Proxmire" Act, wherein violators are subject to life in prison and a one (1) million dollar fine, and

Whereas, any and all government and company officials adopting/authorizing/starting a "KXL project" would be in direct violation of the above mentioned laws, the Genocide Act, 1851 Treaty of Fort Laramie, and Article VI of the U.S. Constitution, and

Whereas, president, Barack Obama, whose final signature of approval for a "KXL project", would initiate and commence genocide against the Signatory Nations and Peoples of the 1851 Treaty, and would constitute a violation of the Genocide Act, the 1851 Treaty, and Article VI of the U.S. Constitution.

Therefore Be It Resolved, that president Barack Obama immediately and publicly denounce and reject the "KXL project”, and

Be It Further Resolved, that Obama, his government, and their authorized corporations desiring to commit genocide and violate their own Constitution through such an immoral and genocidal project cease and desist from any further depredation transgressions and attempts at genocide upon 1851 Treaty Territories and Sacred Homelands of the nine signatory Red Nations upon our most sacred Grand Mother Earth.

Be It Finally Resolved, that we hereby promise to honor, respect, and abide by the 1851 Treaty of Fort Laramie, The Genocide Convention Implementation Act, Article VI of the U.S. Constitution, and to protect Grand Mother Earth at all costs, taking and sharing this document to all of our friends, relatives, organizations and churches, communities and Nations that we belong to, urging them to adhere to the intent and purpose of this document.
