Carolina Tuscarom Nation Who does the State of North Carolina think are legitimate Tuscaroras? Do they think that the Tuscaroras who went north to New York State and Canada are ? What about the Tuscaroras who never left North Carolina and are still here today? Shouldn't they hold all the rights to any claims here in North Carolina? After all, they never left and gave up their rights here. Their rights were stolen here by a state that uses genoeide. A state, that is so afraid of what is going to happen when Tuscarora Sovereignty and rights are totally restored. Can you remember Maine, State of North Carolina? Are the Tuscaroras here in North Carolina at this very moment uniting with the Tuscaroras in New York to then unite with the Sbc Nations? The Constitution was written for native people to have freedom and the Treaties were written to give equal rights to all nations under the Constitution of law that governs all nations, and freedom for all separate Indian nations to govern themselves as to their own beliefs. There is a law, 1964 law, also known as the Martin Luther King Law, or equal rights amendment, that separates Blacks and whites from Indians. Indians are not up under this law, but have separate laws because they are wards of the government. Indians who put themselves under this 1964 law are no longer wards to the government and |oae all their special treatment as Indians and are considered as Black or white. An Indian cannot discriminate against another Indian but can discriminate against the other two)black or white) and a Black or white can discriminate against an Indian. But also an Indian who chooses to put himself under '64 law with Blacks and whites, he too dan discriminate against Indians because he is then considered himself as Black or white. . s Hie Justice Department upholds these laws lam we of the Eastern Carolina Tuscan >ra Nation have spoken about. We understand that the court system is supposed to cany out the law. that the Federal law deals with native issues. We understand that the state has the right to remove an issue of of their court which is a federal issue dealing with Indian who are wards of the government. The Tuscamras who are in court in Robeson County now, representing the Tuscan>ra Tribe of North Carolina. INc. are attempting, to genocide against one another, whereas the Treaty says that an Indian annot genocide against another Indian. They have put a claim on the Tuscarora Treaty laws of Sovereignty. We. the Eastern Carolina Tuscarora Nation, feel like the obligations go back to the stale where they have an Indian Claims Commission established. The Indian Claims Commis sion and its superiors can determine which of the two TuscAroas who are in court in Lumberton is right or who is wrung, who is legitimate and who ian't. If the state cannot . decide let it gu to the federal court. We. the Eastern Carolina Tuscarora Nation on our Sovereign Territory sat aside for the Nation, are greatly concerned with the Indian Claims Commission. They should be dealing with the issues with the two Tuscaroras on the.court floor in lumberton. , The Eastern Carolina Tuscarora Nation is set aside by the federal government Servicing their people by self help and certain donations, while the court is going on genociding against the Nation with these two members of the Tuscarora Tribe of North Carolina, Inc. If they are Tuscaroms, we would like to know from the court and the Indian Claims Commissioner who out of all these organizations that we are going to list is legitimate and legal. There is also a group of Hatteras Hiscarora who are split into two factions, now the Tuscarora Tribe of North Carolina, Inc. who are also now split into two factions. Is the state attempting to put six organizations claiming Tuscarora, genociding against one another down here, keeping the native people confused on who among the Tuscarora is growing sovereign? It is your responsibility. State of North Carolina and Indian Claims Commission to clear this up. Who is legal and legitimate for the record books in Raleigh, Secretary of the State? Hie Eastern Carolina Tuscarora Nation is fully aware of the genocide brought against us by all these organizations and there has to be records of them in the Secretary of State's office, as well as all organizations under natives on the record books of the Indian Claims Commission. We, the Eastern Carolina Tuscarora Nation in Robeson County, North Carolina, find conflict of interest with ail these organizations. The Department of the Interior went as far to set land aside for the Eastern Carolina Tuscarora Nation. This land is still held by us until this day as Sovereign Territory. We. the Eastern Carolina Tuscarora Nation, petitioned the Department of the Interior for recognition. The law suit was cleared up in 1974. In 1976 they started working with the Indians in Robeson County, building Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA) homes. We, the Eastern Carolina Tuscarora Nation, are the reason that the BIA homes are here. Elver since then the Indian Claims Commmission organization has been established to represent the Indians on their claims, but they have never had any input with the Eastern Carolina Tuscarora Nation. The Nation has wondered about this and that is why we are accusing the Slate and the Indian Claims Commission of genociding. over certain power ef the* book work and certain power of positions. Didn't the court blow certain Indians' minds in 1974 when they ruled in favor of the Tuacarorms and yet certain of these Indians would put the sovereign part and religion and put the Nation together, but are more satisfied in splitting and conquering sovereignty and trying to terminate Indian. If you look at the record of the Eastern Carolina Tuscarora nation as opposed to the records of these other six factions of Tuscaroras, you will see that the Eastern Carolina Tuscarora Nation has held on to the original land that was given us by the Department of the Interior. We have built a tribal office for nation business. We have built a Tuscarora/ Iroquois Museum to house our artifacts, culture and traditions. We have built a Longhouse for religious purposes and ceremonies. We haves Tuscarora Cultural Survival School to teach our people their culture and traditions. We are teaching the Tuscarota language again. We have re established our ties with the 8U Nations and have asked them to help us i to overcome this demon possession that has swept the native people of Robeson County. We have accomplished all this through our own self help programs and the hlep of the Six Nations in re establishing the Great Law of Raace, our traditional government and the Clan System. In 1970 it all started from the Eastern Carolina Tuscarora Nation forming and staking the claim for organizing under Tuscarora and putting claims to all sovereign parts, also adopting the land to the nation. The Indian Claims Commission is to seek for our claims. So we are lying the Indian Claims Commission to the Nation and to the land and to dear up once and for all the questions that arise. Why six organizations saying that they represent Tuscaroras existing in Robeson County when it should be one sovereign nation on the books of the Indian Claims Commission and the State. And why does the state of North Carolina continue genocide against us past and present? Remember this when you tarn trying to figure out just who are the legitimate Tuscaroras "By their fruits ye shall know them." Help us Raweniio (the Creator).
