The American West No More, Lakota Nation Releases National Map
Lakota Natural Land-Base Divides 5 U.S. State Boundaries

By: Lakota Oyate

Lakota Oyate, a continuing effort of the Lakota Freedom Delegation, released a map of national boundaries which will force state and Federal government in five states to begin the process of planning their governmental initiatives without tens of thousands of acres of land.

Meanwhile, the Lakota people begin the process of recovering their natural land-base without U.S. government interference. Protection of sacred sites and confrontation with exploitative government and private enterprises that have been removing or polluting Lakota lands comes to the forefront.

The map, which can be found at www.lakotaoyate.net provides an initial glimpse into a free and independent Lakota.

"The free Lakota nation is regaining the original natural territory of its unceeded land," said Lakota Freedom Delegate Canupa Gluha Mani (Duane Martin Sr.). "The white man promised that as long as the grass grows and the rivers flow this land will always be yours[the Lakota]. This promise still lives within the heart of the Lakota Nation."

The northern and western boundaries of Lakota run along the Yellowstone and Big Horn rivers in North Dakota and Montana. The southern boundaries run along the North Platte and Platte rivers in Wyoming and Nebraska, while the eastern boundary of Lakota shares the bank of the Missouri River.

Canupa Gluha Mani added, "The He Sapa will never be for sale, its just returning to its natural owners, the Lakota Independent Nation."

Lakota Oyate emerges from the work of the Lakota Freedom Delegation and continues to ensure the voice of the oyate - the Elders, children and all people - are respected and heard in the rebirth of the Lakota Nation. For more information, please visit our new website at www.lakotaoyate.net.

i believe that this should have taken place long ago. From the dawn of the american government to this very moment, the government (big brother) has always practiced the art of saying one thing and doing its opposite. Native americans have resided on this land long before the europeans claimed to have discovered a new country. Then they trespass on others lands and began a systematic destruction and rebuild of this new country into yet another european colony. Then more and more lands are stolen from the different nations of indians that inhabit this place to the point that the indians realize that they must fight back for the sake of thier people. Big brother views this as an insult and retaliates. Toward the end the government started making bargins with thier treaties. Now this is the part i dont understand. How is it, that this new government thinks it can bargin with land that belongs to the indian nations already. But the native americans being the people of peace and in a position where it is understood that the weapons of these white men are far superior to those of the indians, forcibly and regretably agree to thier harassers demands. Then slowly but surely these reservations get smaller and smaller as this new governments appetite grows and this brings out almost the entire anhillation of native americans. In short, this government has systematically raped the indian nations and despite the span of time that has elapsed, i feel that the lakota and all other tribes be reimburesed entirely.
