6. Chairman Archambult II nailed it in his speech

But back in this country.

The United States goes around and talks about sovereignty, justice, equality, honor.

Then, with a wink, wink, and nod, nod, conveniently forget(s) the treaties and the Acts they sign with the Indigenous people, this double standard, is just that a double standard, using the federal and state government(s) and its agencies as a shield.

If you can't walk the walk and talk the talk, you have no business or standing to represent what you go around and perceive to the world as a just and forthright country, just maybe you should look in your own back yard and clean up this mess first, you created it.

You are nothing more than someone or thing, that can be perceived as being a a liar from very first day one of the occupation of the water and the land, and the ancestral artifacts and burial grounds, its about principles, and always has been about principles.
