President Barack Obama, addressing a tribal nations conference at the White House last week, announded that the U.S. government is now supporting the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous People, which includes a sweeping declaration that "indigenous peoples" have a right to lands and resources they traditionally occupied or "otherwise used."
"Indigenous peoples have the right to the lands, territories and resources which they have traditionally owned, occupied or otherwise used or acquired," says the U.N. resolution.
The Bush administration had declined to support the resolution.
At the White House Tribal Nations Conference, Obama reminded the group that last year he signed a resolution passed by Congress that “finally” recognizes “the sad and painful chapters in our shared history--a history too often marred by broken promises and grave injustices against the First Americans,” he said.
The president added that “no statement can undo the damage that was done,” but he said the resolution can “help reaffirm the principles that should guide our future.”

Except for their Gods, I respect the Native ways and customs of past
;D
There are NO “indigenous peoples”.
I think this is for the Raza crap.

If Obama believes in this, how can the hypocrite then side against Israel in her claim to its lands?
"Indigenous peoples have the right to the lands, territories and resources which they have traditionally owned, occupied or otherwise used or acquired," says the U.N. resolution.
That is just paving a road to "justify" amnesty for the 30 million criminal illegal aliens.
How simple minded is THAT?

Norsemen had settlements near here in 900 AD. Do New York and Massachusetts belong to Norway?
Persons of other faiths (Christians and Jews among them) have prior histories. There is no "traditional lands" claim. Just the conquered lands by a dead warlord and his followers.
And I'm certain that Jews and Christians were indigenous to the Middle East before muslims. And because white South Africans settled many unpopulated areas, they too would be considered the indigenous people in those areas.
Amnesty? He is looking beyond just bringing them TO the United States. Reconquista is secession.
yes, a tool......you know what else he is....there’s this one pic that say’s it all-it’s the pic where the 1st Dog Bo is on the end of the leash and the ‘bamster is trying to control the dog with BOTH effin’ hands on the leash like this turdy dog is way stronger than he is.... ya’ know the one??? what a goof-nobody walks a dog like that -you gotta’ be STOOPID for that - oh- and another thing-the way he throws a baseball-’member that one? like a total girl.
YET, he plays basketball with finesse! I think I see something here on these two above described incidents- he acts like a turkey when he DOESN’T want to do something so he does it poorly. I’ve seen kids act out like that.
A favored word for indigenous peoples? They will burn him in the end.
Is there any historical writings predating the Bible laying claim to the Promised Land?
If not, by this signing, the UN acknowledges Israel’s claim.
Does this include returning Anatolia to the Greeks, and exiling the Turks back to Turkmenistan?
Or does it only apply to dark skinned people?
Return Algeria to the Berbers! Send Arabs back to Arabia!
Perhaps President Palin will remove the US from the un... finally.

That means we should go back and kick all the Albanians out of Kosovo and return it back to the Serbs.
“where the fucowie.”
Indian jokes? Okay, here’s another;
Custer wear arrow shirt.
