To All Conscious Blacks,
This is it!!! If the Depart of Interior, the Bureau of Indian Affairs ,
the high chiefs of various so-called Civilized Tribes successful deny the
decendants of Black Freedmen and Black Indians their 1865 & 1866 mandated
rights and socioeconomic benefits, Black Americans can forget about ever
receiving slavery reparations. If we lack the intestinal fortitude to fight
for treaty rights, when treaties are founded in Constitutional law, why in
the world would we hope for reparations based upon non-legal binding
emotionalism.
Please circulate the accompanying letter from Mrs. Molette and her
Black Indian Press as far wide as you possibly can. This is the throw now,
especially for all of the nieve civil righters who believe that all White
Indians, Arabs, Hispanics and Asians are "people of color," allied with
Blacks, and committed to socioeconomically elevating the decendants of the
Blacks who their ancestors enslaved centuries ago.
Dr. Claud Anderson

Enid, Oklahoma
As the descendants of the Pioneer Settlers of the State of Oklahoma
begin to rejoice in preparation of its many planned Grand Centennial events,
which essentially celebrate the end of Native American dominion over the
last remaining frontier of what was formerly Indian Country, Ethnic Native
Americans having African Ancestry and/or the Lineal Descendants of Indian
Freedmen, seem to be one of the last remaining groups inhabiting the Former
Indian Nations rendering forth any form of dissent at all over the state’s
“celebratory” overtones.
Indian Freedmen continue to fight the vestiges of Jim Crow in
Oklahoma, stemming from the U.S. Civil War fought in Oklahoma Indian
Territory, through European colonization of Oklahoma, the place our
ancestors were promised “new and adequate land” “in perpetual peace” with
guaranteed “quiet possession of their country” and where Indian Freedmen
“shall enjoy equal privileges with other members of said tribe,” clear to
the current day.
Presently, Cherokee Freedmen are putting up a firm resistance to
overt efforts led by the highest official of the Cherokee Nation to legally
purge Native Americans having African Ancestry out of that Nation, thereby
further alienating them from their guaranteed treaty mandated protections.
At the same time, the Federal Guardians and Stewards of Indian Freedmen, the
legal protectors of their contractually guaranteed Treaty Mandated Rights,
seem to be sitting on their thumbs waiting to see if the Ethnic Cherokees
can withstand the assault without the assistance of those entrusted with a
Fiduciary duty, Federal and Treaty mandate to do so.
Meanwhile, the Harvest Institute Freedmen Federation, led by Dr.
Claude Anderson, and Black Indians United Legal Defense and Education Fund
based in Enid, Oklahoma announced the filing of a Class Action Complaint
against the U.S. Department of the Interior, at the National Press Club in
Washington, D.C., on February 1, 2007. The Complaint lodged against the U.S.
Department of the Interior and the Secretary of the Interior back in
December 2006, seeks legal redress to protect the Treaty Mandated Rights
accorded Ethnic Native Americans having African Ancestry and Indian
Freedmen, more popularly known as Black Indians in all Five Tribes,
Cherokee, Chickasaw, Choctaw, Creek and Seminole Nations, and includes their
Civil and Property Rights.
The Treaties of 1866 were domestic multi-party contractual
agreements between the United States Government and the Sovereign Tribal
Governments of the Cherokee, Chickasaw, Choctaw, Creek and Seminole Nations,
which included numerous provisions for their Ethnic Protectorates.
Additionally, the Oklahoma Centennial Commissioners have rejected
the entry of the Lineal Descendants of Indian Freedmen in Oklahoma’s Grand
Centennial Parade. The Parade entry was submitted through Southern Heights
Heritage Center and Museum of Enid back in the winter of 2005, prior to any
other Parade entry submissions. The Museum’s parade entry was slated to
feature children dressed in Regalia. In response, the Museum is planning its
own Grand Centennial Pow wow Reunion July 19th-22nd 2007, in Enid that will
draw in a myriad of inter-tribal families from across the nation descended
from Ethnic Indian Territory Citizens back along the Cherokee Strip.
Garfield County area hotels are reporting an unusual increase in booking
activity in anticipation of the event.
The Museum is determined to proudly host this special Grand
Centennial Pow wow Reunion, as their 5th annual Pow Wow held along the
Cherokee Strip, where historically the Cherokee Freedmen had a significant
legal interest in the extent of 800,000 acres of Cherokee Neutral Lands that
were illegitimately settled and formed the counties of southeastern Kansas
and Northwestern Oklahoma. Ultimately, In 1890 [26 Stat., 636], the Chiefs
of the Cherokee Freedmen, Shawnee and Delaware Nations filed in the U.S.
Court of Claims for the right to sue for their share of the funds gained
from the sale of the Cherokee Outlet to the United States Government.
The Southern Heights Heritage Center and Museum’s Grand Centennial
Pow wow Reunion will feature Speakers from across the country to address the
State of the Indian Freedmen Nations, and highlight Musical Performances, a
Banquet Dinner, Talent Show and more.
