	Zephaniah 2:9 Therefore as I live, says the LORD of Armies
		Therefore as I live, saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel: Surely Moab shall be as Sodom, and the children of Ammon as Gomorrah, even the breeding-place of nettles, and saltpits, and a desolation, for ever; the residue of My people shall spoil them, and the remnant of My nation shall inherit them.
		Therefore, as I live, saith Jehovah of hosts, the God of Israel, Moab shall certainly be as Sodom, and the children of Ammon as Gomorrah, a possession of nettles, and salt-pits, and a perpetual desolation; the remnant of my people shall spoil them, and the residue of my nation shall possess them.
		The remnant of my people will plunder them, and the survivors of my nation will inherit them.

	Edited Evidence * AANR * Number 052 (Official Version)
		He said that first nations governance is about people, that it's about giving first nation members a strong voice, and that it's about putting power in the hands of the people to make sure their governments work better for them.
		In my own thinking, first nations or native people living in large cities seem to be assimilated more than people living on their own reserves.
		At the same time, the government ignores the nations of the aboriginal peoples of Canada, and our three nations of aboriginal peoples, the Mi'kmaq, the Malicite, and the Passamaquoddy, and their people who continue to reside on their traditional homelands throughout the maritime provinces.

		When people first came to the lake, they found it different from what it is today: the lake waters were slightly higher and the forest had only just begun to spread into the region.
		This book is dedicated to the Elders of the Selkirk First Nation who have shared with us their knowledge and their stories to bring the past alive.
		Robert Campbell, who was the first white man to come to the territories of the Selkirk people for the Hudson’s Bay Company, sent his men to Tatl’á Män to net whitefish in the winters of 1848 and 1849.

	Who Are We
		The Chickamauga Cherokee of Alabama, located principally in north Alabama are the descendants of the Chickamauga Indians, being those Cherokee who separated themselves politically from the Cherokee Nation in 1777 to establish new towns and a new political relationship with the United States.
		The two main Chickamauga Chiefs, Dragging Canoe (Tsiyugunsini) son of Attakullakulla and John Watts (Kunokeski) were relatives of Cherokee Nation Principle Chief Moytoy (Amahetai) and may have been advised to leave the Nation so as not to draw the Cherokee Nation's residents farther into a full scale war with the Americans.
		From 1777, the Chickamauga were not an official part of the governance and policy structure of the Cherokee Nation and through their external military policy, the Chickamauga were an independent Cherokee political entity although not an entity with which the majority of the Cherokee Nation residents were opposed.

		Today, the Osage people are looking to Congress to pass a new law, one that respects the true essence of any nation, the right to self-determination.
		It would allow the Osage people to define who we are, and who we will be.
		With the ingenuity of our people, we will have a strong government that works for the people, not against them.

		The first Selkirk people left no written records, no stone monuments, but aspects of their history may still be found in remains of their ancient camps preserved in the ground, and in the oral traditions of today.
		During this period, Selkirk people were employed on the sternwheelers and at the woodcamps, but also continued to make their living in the traditional way, trapping, hunting and fishing.
		When Robert Campbell moved his post to the present location of Fort Selkirk in 1851, the Chilkat traders’ tolerance of his competition in the trade with Selkirk people came to an end.

		Non-Status Indians are people who consider themselves Indians or members of a First Nation, but whom the Government of Canada does not recognize as Indians under the Indian Act, either because they are unable to prove their status or have lost their status rights.
		Generally, ‘First Nations people’ is used to describe both Status and Non-Status Indians.
		Many people today prefer to be called First Nations or First Nations people instead of Indians.

		In closing, I would like to thank the good people of the Red Lake Nation for recognizing in me, the qualities that are worthy of our highest office, Chairman of the Red Lake Band of Chippewa Indians.
		I am pleased to announce that we have with us today representatives of other Indian Nations that have been honored by their people and chosen for leadership.
		My intent is to better inform our tribal members of happenings and issues pertaining to tribal government and to relay pertinent information that may be of interest to those who follow the issues associated with the Red Lake Nation.

	Online NewsHour: Relations with Vietnam -- May 19, 1997
		Thirdly, when we denied MFN to Romania and Ciaochesku in 1987, many of the people in Romania told me they were heartened to know that the United States Congress stood with the Romanian people.
		And in China, itself, we would hurt those people by revoking MFN, the very people we want to help most, the private sector in China, the entrepreneurs, the students.
		Even those people in Hong Kong that have been most passionately identified with the cause of freedom and human rights and have been most in conflict with the Chinese have argued that we have to maintain an open trading relationship with them so that we can continue to work with them.

	Transcript of Proceedings of Public Hearings - October 15, 1998
		Because if you have one Innu student in one of those colleges, eventually he or she going to give up because of lack of people to talk to, because of lack of understanding of the culture and lack of understanding what the process is all about.
		Also the first in line in protest against any development because at that time I was (unintelligible) on the Innu Nation, was the Vice-President of the Innu Nation at that time.
		The Innu Nation had a mandate given some funding to work on together, how they feel, how they think, what are the impacts going to be once the Project started at the Voisey's Bay.

	The Osage Indians
		Osage communities were organized into two divisions called the Sky People and the Earth People. According to their traditions, Wakondah, the creative force of the universe, sent the Sky People down to the surface of the earth where they met the Earth People, whom they joined to form the Osage tribe.
		Osage lands in Arkansas and Missouri were taken by the U.S. government in 1808 and 1818, and in 1825 an Osage reservation was established in southeastern Kansas.
		The Osages acquired guns and horses from Europeans during the eighteenth century, which enabled them to extend their territory and control the distribution of European goods to other tribes in the region.

	Stewart
		This is a study of diasporas and transnational peoples and the processesthat generate them and shape their articulation in the context of the new configurations of nations and states arising from the fall of the Soviet Bloc.
		This points to an essential paradox: diaspora can be understood as the quintessential Other of the nation-state (Tololyan 1991); the enduring, perennial outsider role of many minority diaspora peoples--such as Jews and Gypsies--attests to this, just as the diaspora state reinforces suspicion of divided if not diluted loyalties to the nation-state.
		Peoples who once felt part of the Soviet Union, by definition an international union of what were termed "nationalities," now find themselves part of forced diasporas; others are now titular nationals of new nation-states.

	Keetoowah Society Factions
		The spiritual essence of the Cherokee people are maintained at what people refer to in English as the "stomp grounds." There is a separation between the government of the Cherokee Nation and the spiritual practice of the Cherokee people similar to a separation between church and state.
		All the controversy, it would seem was over Sam Sizemore running a Stompdance in Kentucky -- where so many Chickamauga people, many being descendants of Cornblossom, hid out in the hills and evaded capture during the removal period.
		Some people have forgotten that the Sacred fire is portable and "splitable" and was moved here from the east by the Natchez people and Redbird Smith obtained it from them by and by, but that is another story.

		They were a clean people, when compared to the white English, German, and Scots-Irish settlers drifting in, infiltrating their territory, most of whom were satisfied to bathe in autumn and not again til spring.
		Wenro is a short form of their Huron name, Wenrohronon, meaning "the people of the place of floating scum." The name derived from the location of their main village near the site of the famous oil spring at Cuba, New York.
		The downside is the confusion generated, and many people do not realize there actually was an Algonkin tribe, or that all Algonquins do not belong to the same tribe.

	Responses to War Against Exploiters of Lakota Spirituality: May 11, 1997 to October 31
		To assume that the Lakota, Dakota, Nakota people are the only people with an inherrent right or proper knowlege to stand behind the sacred pipe, conduct sweatlodges, or sundances or any other sacred ceremony is disrespectful of all the many other Amerindian nations that have similar ceremonies.
		The Lakota people that live on the reservation that participate in ceremony are fine with their own spirituality.
		I am writing this to the Lakota people as both a statement of intention and a declaration of my most sincere respect for what belongs to the Lakota, Dakota and Nakota and is theirs.

	History Channel Exhibits: The Great Sioux Nation of the 19th Century
		The Sioux Nation consisted of about 20,000 people in 7 different tribes throughout the Great Plains.
		Perhaps best known for defeating General Custer in his famous Last Stand, the Sioux were a proud people with a rich heritage, and more than any other Indians, they embodied the romance of the unspoiled West.
		These were the people of the legendary Sitting Bull -- known as the "Sioux" or "enemy" among outsiders; "Lakota" or "people" among themselves.

	Facts for Kids: Sac and Fox Indians (Mesquakie-Sauk)
		Canoeing is still popular within the Sac and Fox nation, though few people handcraft their own canoe anymore.
		The Sac and Fox were farming people, growing corn, beans, and squash on agricultural plots on the outskirts of their villages.
		These Facts For Kids sections are being added in response to the many emails we've been receiving from young people looking for information about the Fox and Sauks for school or home-schooling reports.

	innureport
		Innu leaders did not agree about what direction should be taken to deal with this invasion of Innu land, and were aware that their differences reflected the differences in opinion of the people in both communities.
		The Innu Nation also worried that it was responding to a crisis without a clear mandate from its communities and wanted to undertake a community information and consultation process.
		A few spoke of how Innu people are jailed when they try to protect their land because governments refuse to enact any interim protection before land rights are settled.

	Recall petition carrier salutes tribal members working to recall Red Lake Treasurer Dan King
		Now, three and a half years later when the Red Lake Nation is so deeply in debt and no one knows where the money will come from to satisfy the Tribe’s financial responsibilities, Treasurer King would like for you to believe that everything is just great.
		He would like for you to believe that he has performed his job well, that he has done “something great” for the Red Lake People and now everybody is just out to get him because it just happens to be an election year.
		The Red Lake People and the majority of the Tribal Council has had no idea what he has been doing with the Tribe’s money and only recently after the threat of a recall election has he tried to put forth some effort to try to make some amends.

		The commentary calls upon the people from all walks of life in south Korea to decisively reject the anti-national moves of the sycophantic traitorous forces to tarnish the lineage of the Korean nation and obliterate it, bereft of the Juche character and national character.
		If the homogeneity of the nation is not kept, the nation and the destiny of individuals cannot be defended from the U.S. dominationist moves and the attempt of the Japanese reactionaries for invasion of Korea, which is revealed in their claim to Tok Islet, cannot be checked.

	US-Puerto Rico Status Act - Washington, D.C. Hearing
		Puerto Rico, in my judgment, will be stronger for this, and our nation will be stronger.
		However, the attempt of some Puerto Rican leaders and political groups to create ''bilateralism'' within the U.S. federal system has been perpetrated under a ''nation-within-a-nation'' interpretation of the commonwealth structure of local constitutional self-government which must fail.
		Apparently, these heroic people who made everything we have in America possible found the literature in the documents of our democracy inspiration enough to march into the gaping jaws of annihilation to preserve liberty for our common patria-pueblo.
