FEDERAL LANDS BACK TO THE INDIGENOUS

"In the United States of America, when you speak of liberation, 
or when you speak of freeing the land, you are automatically speaking
of the American Indians, whether you realize it or not. Of this, 
there can be no doubt.

Those in power in the United States understand these principles very
well. They know that even under their own laws aboriginal title
precedes and preempts other claims, unless transfer of title to the
land was is or agreed to by the original inhabitants. They know that
the only such agreements to which they can make even a pretense are 
those deriving from some 371 treaties entered into by the U.S. with 
various Indian nations indigenous to North America.

Those in power in America know very well that, in consolidating its
own national landbase, the United States has not only violated every
single one of those treaties, but that it remains in a state of 
perpetual violation to this day. Thus, they know they have no legal
title-whether legality be taken to imply U.S. law, international law,
Indian law, natural law, or all of these combined-to much of what 
they now wish to view as the territoriality of the United States proper."
