Indigenous Status and African American Reparations

[Princess Ademide Adinasse]

African Diasporic Reparations Tribunal








By Dr. Mustafa Ansari



International law says that indigenous status is
proper when a group of people establish an
historical continuity' with the land.
In 1989 the findings and consensus of the states
concluded that " Indigenous people are "first
peoples", tribal peoples, aboriginals and
autochthons by way of a 5-point analysis, not fully
agreed upon by a number of Tribes and states.
a) Common ancestry with the original occupants of
these lands;
b) Culture in general, or in specific manifestations
(such as religion, living under a tribal system,
membership of an indigenous community, dress, means
of livelihood, lifestyle, etc.)
c) Language;
d) Residence in certain parts of the country, or in
certain regions of the world;
e) Other relevant factors
The 5-point criterion of the Sub commission means
that historical, archaeological, linguistic and
genealogical tracings have developed the evidences
of an American "autochthon" and "aboriginal"
identity. This means that the appropriate remedy for
the African American is a uniquely fitted African
and American indigenous dual status, restitutionary
land rights, psychological and physical
rehabilitation were appropriate, genocide and wage
compensation[s]
Accordingly, the Indigenous African-American
Tribunal posits this question to the slave
descendants in the form of a plebiscite *in order
for them to determine their rights to indigenous
land within the borders of present day America.
We do so forthwithly because historical,
anthropological, paleontological and archeological
research has afforded us irrefutable evidence
arrived in America in three waves in the Americas
11, 500 to 25 thousand years prior to the arrival of
Columbus, and that the fourth population wave [The
Trans-Atlantic gendocide] has given us an accrued
autochthon indigenous land rights during the slavery
transmutations of thousands of our African and
Afro-Indian tribes.





The findings of the Sub commission laid down a 5-point indigenous analysis:



a) Common ancestry with the original occupants of these lands;
b) Culture in general, or in specific manifestations (such as religion, living under a tribal system, membership of an indigenous community, dress, means of livelihood, lifestyle, etc.)
c) Language;
d) Residence in certain parts of the country, or in certain regions of the world;
e) Other relevant factors
The 5-point criterion of the Sub commission means that historical, archaeological, linguistic and genealogical tracings develop the evidences of an American "autochthon" and "aboriginal" identity. It is these combinations of factors, which are necessary to trigger the international rationale for restitution, rehabilitation, compensation and indigenous land rights under the reparative analysis.

Accordingly, the Indigenous African-American Tribunal posits this question to the slave descendants in the form of a plebiscite in order for them to determine their rights to indigenous land within the borders of present day America.

We do so forthwithly because historical, anthropological, paleontological and archeological research has afforded us irrefutable evidence that the Africans sailed to the Americas and continuously lived in the Americas 11, 500 to 25 thousand years prior to the arrival of Columbus, and are arguably aboriginal to the land now know as the United States, and most certainly have accrued autochthon indigenous land rights because of the transmutations during the slavery period.



African Americans


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------



The selling of our African ancestors did not deprive them of their "Africaness", or their right of return of their land and rights and we should not be deprived of what our grandparents accrued in the Americas before, during, and after the white man came.

Everyone has a land of their own and we have two says the Tribunal. We are entitled to the estate of our African grandfather and the wages and land of our African American grandfathers




The original American was an African who walked and rode the tides to America. See the discovery of the earliest ancestor called "Luzia".



We came to America from East Africa, South Africa, Australia and West Africa over many millennia and we make up many Indian, and African tribes in South and North America. During the slave trade the Africans in America were mixed with over 500 African tribes, 300 Indian tribes as well as the Europeans. slavery



We are truly African American
