Brief History of the looting of Dakota Territory by the Settler State apparatus (Minnesota) as instrument of the USA colonial construct, sanitized by the official history of “America the Great”, the only version taught in the public curriculum.

Dismantling the Master’s Narrative

of dominion, genocide and colonization:

No Justice on Stolen Land:

"They would invoke the rule of law,
when all they offer is the law of the rulers".

The Dakota Sioux were the region's sole residents when French explorers arrived in 1680. Gradually, more European-American settlers arrived, competing for game and other resources with the Native Americans. By the Treaty of Paris following the Revolutionary War, British land east of the Mississippi River became part of the United States. In the early 19th century, the United States acquired land to the west of the river from France in the Louisiana Purchase.

Fort Snelling was built in 1819 by the U.S. Army at the southern edge of present-day Minneapolis and also bordering Saint Paul as the U.S. military's most remote outpost, to direct Indian trade away from the French and English to the U.S., and to prevent the Dakota and Ojibwe in the north from fighting each other.

The fort attracted traders, settlers and merchants, spurring growth.

Agents of the St. Peters Indian Agency built at the fort enforced U.S. policy of assimilating Native Americans into European-American society, asking them to give up hunting for subsistence and to learn to plow for cultivation.

The U.S. government pressed the Dakota to sell their land which was ceded in a succession of treaties. The U.S. reneged on the treaties during the Civil War, resulting in hunger, war, internment, and exile of the Dakota from Minnesota.

Connecting the Blots 1492- 2018

Outwitting the fort's commandant, Franklin Steele laid his claim on the east bank of Saint Anthony Falls, and Stevens built his home on the west bank. The Minnesota Territorial Legislature authorized Minneapolis as a town in 1856, on the Mississippi's west bank. Minneapolis incorporated as a city in 1867 and later joined with the east-bank city of St. Anthony in 1872.

Etymology

The Dakota name for Minneapolis is Bdeóta Othúŋwe (Many Lakes City).Several names were proposed for the new city after its incorporation, including Lowell, Adasville, and Albion, with the latter name suggested by Hennepin County itself. Daniel Payne, John H. Stevens, and George Bowman contributed to replacing Albion. While the name All Saints was facetiously suggested in the St. Paul Pioneer, implying the town would come to absorb its neighbors of Saint Paul and Saint Anthony, the name Minneapolis was ultimately chosen.

The present name is attributed to Charles Hoag, the city's first schoolmaster, who suggested Minnehapolis, derived from Minnehaha, and combined mni, a Dakota word for water and the Greek words nea and polis, for new and city respectively; altogether meaning new water city.
 

What kind of land that calls itself free, can deny the spirit of Humanity?

The murder of George Floyd by police agents of the settler state apparatus normalized by the "Master's Narrative" of institutionalized "white" supremacy cannot be comprehensively understood without a decolonial analysis of historical context that informs on the ongoing neoliberal colonization of Africa the continent, and the African Peoples in diaspora across the world. 

The history of the African American diaspora in the Great Turtle Island Abya Yala [Americas] in turn, cannot be understood in a context of social justice without addressing the underlying and ongoing colonization and genocide of the Original Nations of Indigenous Peoples under the 526 regime of the “American” (including the “Latin American”) extrapolation of colonial settler states, normalized under the tenets of the Doctrine of Discovery (October 12,1492).

Wakeup Call from the Nightmare of Manifest Destiny:
The Anomaly of Histories 

To this day, these memes of caste continue to be reinforced every time the phrase “white people” or “white” is used to describe the European American populations of the United States.

That perpetuation of a caste-based society would be completely antithetical to the precepts of the “American Experiment of Democracy”, yet remain embedded in the vernacular of public and private discourse regarding social relationships has roots in the Indo-European histories, but is codified in the US Civil Rights statutes as follows: 

United States Code

TITLE 42, CHAPTER 21, SUBCHAPTER I, § 1981.

Equal rights under the law 

(a) Statement of equal rights 
All persons within the jurisdiction of the United States shall have the same right in every State and Territory to make and enforce contracts, to sue, be parties, give evidence, and to the full and equal benefit of all laws and proceedings for the security of persons and property as is enjoyed by white citizens, and shall be subject to like punishment, pains, penalties, taxes, licenses, and exactions of every kind, and to no other. 

The term WHITE CITIZEN is contextualized further by the language of the 14th Amendment to the US Constitution which states:

Section 1. All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the state wherein they reside.

Thus, the connection is made institutionally and culturally via the jurisprudence of the Master's Narrative, between concepts of white citizen and WHITE PERSON, establishing legal personality within the US social construct as a function of relationship to the dominant “white” power structures of rights and obligations. The anomaly being the Nican Tlacah Indigenous Peoples who supersede the US jurisdiction as sovereign confederations of nations holding treaty relationships with the US and other government states of the world.

TREATY STAND at STANDING ROCK

The International Aggression of the United States Government

Against the Original Nations of the Oceti Sakowin Confederation in

Treaty Stand

at

Standing Rock

North Dakota Territory, Missouri River Watershed

Abya Yala, Cemanahuac
 

The presumptive legitimacy of the domestic police powers acting in violent aggression against the exercise of Self Determination of the Oceti Sakowin Water Defender Nations at the Last Child Camp, the Oceti Sakowin Camp, the Sacred Stone Camp (among others) at Standing Rock all derive their claims to jurisdiction over Oceti Sakowin Treaty Territories from the now repudiated Doctrine of Discovery of Christendom (October 12, 1492) and the Doctrine of Manifest Destiny (1845) as these legaloid concepts have come to be instituted under the international geopolitical precedents established by the rubrics of the Louisiana Purchase (US-France 1803) and preceding international compacts among the colonizing settler state systems such as the Treaty of Paris (Great Britain-France-Spain-Portugal 1763), the Treaty of Tordesilllas 1494, and the Papal Bulls of Pope Alexander VI Inter Caetera (1493) among others.

With the adoption on September 13, 2007 of the UN Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples which recognized Indigenous Peoples as "Equal to all of other peoples..." with inherent right to the full and equal exercise of the Right of Self Determination, equal to all other peoples, the time is now to elevate the international standard of recognition of the War Crime of International Aggression by the settler state systems of the Americas acting in impunity, collusion, and criminal complicity in violation of the Right of Self Determination of the Original Nations of the Great Turtle Island Abya Yala [Americas].

To this end, the Continental Commission Abya Yala in Permanent Peacekeeping Mission at Standing Rock Nation has called for a convening of legations of the still standing Ancestral Confederation of Original Nations of the Great Turtle Island Abya Yala to meet on the promontory point of the International Spiritual Monument at Standing Rock in the spring of this year to coordinate and communicate a message of World Peace and Self Determination as surviving nations of Indigenous Peoples and Water Protector Nations of Mother Earth.

From coast to coast, from sea to sea, we are those that complete the history!
From time immemorial, from stars yet to be born,

we stand and turn; we stand among you to say:

What kind of land that calls itself free, can deny the spirit of Humanity?
### 

It is simply not enough to challenge to policies of institutionalized racism embodied in the common practices, attitudes, and impunity granted public police officers in the USA, without doing the deep dive into questioning the legaloid tenets of the entire system of U.S. jurisprudence itself as an apparatus of European American ("white") global colonization: A system that has been normalized on our continent of the Great Turtle Island Abya Yala since October 12, 1492.
