Freedom isn't segregation on a reservation miles away from anything. Justice isn't having the police do nothing about our women getting killed because they "don't have enough evidence." Equality isn't having a card that says I am an Indian.
This is all we want: freedom, justice, equality and what is owed to us. I say there should be given a predetermined amount of land for those who wish it to go and start a nation inside of the Americas for our people.
That is not to say it will be all native and that is not to say all natives will wish to go. Those who wish to join us in this nation are welcome.
Why should we stay in a country that, let's face the facts, wants nothing and has never wanted anything to do with us?
History is the greatest example of this.
So I say if we can't get freedom, justice, equality and what is owed to us, then let us go and make up for ourselves a nation wherein we can do for ourselves what you have neglected to do for more than 500 years.
And don't say that is far fetched because your people did the very same thing for the Jews in Israel by taking the land from the Palestinian people.
