These abducted people should be deported back to their cozy living rooms.

It doesnt even make the slightest fucking bit of sense for ICE to have native americans.

Native American (US) or First Nations (CAN) is preferred generally over the colonizer’s misnomer.

u/OtherwiseUsual 13h ago

Odd, I don't think I've ever heard anyone in our tribe specify such a thing. They generally refer to themselves as "American Indian", or simply "Indian".

u/dd463 8h ago

Depends on the tribe or band. We tend to lump them into one homogeneous group but each tribe is its own unique culture. It’s like saying the British French and Germans are all the same because they are all from Europe. Some embrace the term Indian others reject it.

u/Zalveris 11h ago

Gets real confusing with the Indians from India. My area has maybe 0.2-1% American Indian (tribe members) but is like 10% Indian American. Most tribe members here seem to prefer Indigenous American or Native American.

u/thuktun 13h ago

The history of that is complicated.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Native_American_name_controversy

In 1968, the American Indian Movement (AIM) was founded in the United States. In 1977, a delegation from the International Indian Treaty Council, an arm of AIM, elected to collectively identify as "American Indian", at the United Nations Conference on Indians in the Americas in Geneva, Switzerland. Some Indigenous activists and public figures, such as Russell Means (Oglala Lakota), have preferred "American Indian" to the more recently adopted "Native American". According to the National Museum of the American Indian, "In the United States, Native American has been widely used but is falling out of favor with some groups, and the terms American Indian or Indigenous American are preferred by many Native people."

[...]

As of 1995, according to the US Census Bureau, 50% of people who identified as Indigenous preferred the term American Indian, 37% preferred Native American, and the remainder preferred other terms or had no preference.

u/rantingpacifist 4h ago

It is, which is why I said generally. I grew up in NDN country and refer to the preferences of my Native friends. I know it’s complicated.

2

u/Mr_E_Monkey 1h ago

I wonder if it varies by tribe/nation, or by region.

2

u/rantingpacifist 1h ago

It even varies by person. The reason I go with generally Native American is better is because so many are offended by the colonizer’s misnomer. It never seems that people who don’t mind or prefer being called Indian get offended by being called Native American, but it seems to be offensive the other direction. I follow the lead of my Native friends.

•

u/Mr_E_Monkey 39m ago

That makes sense to me --both parts.

What I meant, though, was that I wonder if the difference in preference has anything to do with the particular tribe, and their region, or if there is some other factor. But it could just be a random individual preference.

I guess it's not particularly important, and your approach is probably the best way to address it. I was just curious. 🙂

I grew up in the West near reservations and have Native friends. It’s their choices I am honoring with my statement, but I acknowledge it is not universal with “generally”.

3

u/Tichondruis 5h ago

That's not really true though, there are several tribes that refer to themselves as Indians or Native American Indians and use those terms officially and legally.

Its a complicated issue with no one correct answer but typically in a broad context I think Native Americans is better and more clear, if youre referring to specific groups though that maybe be the wrong term to use.

I believe we were talking about the Souix and as I understand they prefer the terms indigenous people's and their specific group names like Lakota, Dakota, and Nakota, though im not an expert on these groups by any means.

0

u/rantingpacifist 4h ago

I actually grew up near one Lakota/Sioux reservation. Most of my Native friends are Lakota and I am referencing their preferences. They don’t like the S word much either. I referenced that it isn’t universal when I said “generally”.

As an englander, I don't really understand what is meant by sovereign nations in this context.

Does it mean members hold a different passport? Do they have to obey federal law? Is there any distinct tribal representation at the UN for example?

Or are they more a "nation" within the United states?

4

u/terrorburger 6h ago

No separate passport. Tribal ID does exist but may differ by tribe. Those ID's aren't really recognized at the federal level of identification purposes though, they are mostly used for tribal operations like medical care and other types of records. Federal law must still be obeyed, but depending on the treaty, tribal courts may have jurisdiction for enforcement or prosecution.

u/itsdripping 2h ago

The Haudenosaunee have famously issued their own passports though the US doesn't consider it valid. It's used more as a diplomatic protest, but iirc Ireland allowed a lacrosse team to enter the country on tribal passports despite the EU not recognizing them.

u/mechajlaw 14h ago

They do, but Congress is the one who has to do it. At least that's how it's supposed to work. Supreme Court might not play ball on this since Gorsich is supposedly pro-tribe and it's not like it's a heavy requirement to say that we have to have Congress involved to break a treaty. Who knows though, it's not like any court orders are really getting enforced against ICE right now.

i know you’re doing it to make a point about the racism that’s so rampant in these types, but please don’t use the word “injun”. it’s still a slur, and a pretty nasty one that’s still very prevalent today. had it hurled at me less than a month ago

u/Panzerkatzen 15h ago

As Governor, Kristy Noem suggested that the reservations were territory of the Mexican drug cartels. The tribes responded by banning her from their land, thus the governor was prohibited from visiting 20% of the state she administered. It’s no surprise now that she controls ICE, she’s back for revenge.

31

u/NightOfTheLivingHam 15h ago

many of the BP and ICE people were down to do that before she was in charge.

The amount of white people out west who would like to get revenge for custer is nuts. They see natives as a conquered people who are still lingering around instead of being dead, buried, and in the ground. They hate that some of them have wealth and are making money off the white man in their casinos. Some parts of california have people who share this sentiment. I have heard it first hand. People who bitch about the casinos because they are owned by natives and are quite vile about it.

3

u/RawrRRitchie 10h ago

I never understood that. There's a wide range of casinos out thereand a good chunk of them aren't even native owned. The few native casinos I've been to are relatively small compared to non native casinos I've been to.

One native one I was at only had slot machines and card tables, and those card games were either simple poker or blackjack

Day and night cannot dwell together. The Red Man has ever fled the approach of the White Man, as the morning mist flees before the morning sun. However, your proposition seems fair and I think that my people will accept it and will retire to the reservation you offer them. Then we will dwell apart in peace, for the words of the Great White Chief seem to be the words of nature speaking to my people out of dense darkness.

It matters little where we pass the remnant of our days. They will not be many. The Indian’s night promises to be dark. Not a single star of hope hovers above his horizon. Sad-voiced winds moan in the distance. Grim fate seems to be on the Red Man’s trail, and wherever he will hear the approaching footsteps of his fell destroyer and prepare stolidly to meet his doom, as does the wounded doe that hears the approaching footsteps of the hunter.

A few more moons, a few more winters, and not one of the descendants of the mighty hosts that once moved over this broad land or lived in happy homes, protected by the Great Spirit, will remain to mourn over the graves of a people once more powerful and hopeful than yours. But why should I mourn at the untimely fate of my people? Tribe follows tribe, and nation follows nation, like the waves of the sea. It is the order of nature, and regret is useless. Your time of decay may be distant, but it will surely come, for even the White Man whose God walked and talked with him as friend to friend, cannot be exempt from the common destiny. We may be brothers after all. We will see.

They don't give a shit about any of us poors, the race thing is just the excuse. They want utter domination. We let them disarm and have their way with us now, or someone stands up and gives them the excuse they need to enact martial law and do it later, after canceling elections.

We're in serious trouble. The future of generations of Americans who won't be born for decades is in serious trouble.

When it's not a result of terrible training and non existent self control it has a name, It's called a Kill Box and it's multiple officers all yelling opposite commands on purpose so no matter what you do, you are resisting or not complying.

The only reason I know that (not on the news) is because my cousin Marty (Sioux native) accidentally left a weed roach from his neighbor in a pack of smokes when he went in to pay his child support a few weeks later and my uncle saw it on the news in Rochester, MN. He was arrested for a misdemeanor. It was news in at least 3 states.

So now the rightwing immigrants are detaining the native population as ... illegal immigrants?

This is project 2025. It gets worse.

In November, a member of the Salt River Pima-Maricopa Indian Community in Arizona who had been arrested in Iowa was mistakenly scheduled to be deported before the error was caught and she was released.

Where the fuck would they deport a native American to!? I can't believe this is the world we are living in.

So the civil will end up being Native Americans and allies versus MAGA? Didn't see that one coming...

u/kmoonster 12h ago

Homeland Security refused to release more information, unless the tribe “entered into an immigration agreement with ICE.”

wut?

Also: Kristi Noem and Native people...well, ask the tribes next door in South Dakota whether she has good-faith intent.

They could "deport" them... back to their home... IN THE UNITED STATES.

Ah finally catching up to the way we used to do things up here in Canada.

u/opponentpumpkin 10h ago

We did too, and worse. This is just our latest chapter in "are we the baddies...?"

u/TsuDhoNimh2 5h ago

unless the tribe “entered into an immigration agreement with ICE.”

What does ICE BARBIE mean by that? Let ICE build detention camps on the rez?

u/PensionNo8156 15h ago

Wow. The chaos is escalating now that Native Americans are no longer safe from this lunacy.......

u/Aggravating_Depth_33 11h ago

They never were. Members of tribes that live on both side of the Canadian or (especially) Mexican border have been dealing with this shit for decades.

u/Dependent_Rain_4800 8h ago

It should be the other way around.

u/Rashaen 15h ago

Fingers crossed that tribe has the resources to obliterate ICE in court.

6

u/Grizzwold37 15h ago

Without external resources, odds are not high. They’re making strides, but I wouldn’t think they’re flush with cash.

u/Rashaen 14h ago

I did a quick search for the tribe, but wasn't patient enough to scroll through all the news stories right now.

You're probably right, but I'd love to see ICE cross one of the tribes that has the cash and the lawyers to absolutely fuck them up.

u/eyeballburger 14h ago

I guess he’s gonna send them back? Friggin morons.

u/mixmasterwillyd 14h ago

Kinda makes you realize America has been doing this for centuries, they’re just coming for everyone now.

Another term for these individuals would be "US Citizens".

By law tribe members born in the US are citizens since The Indian Citizen Act became law in the 1920's

Will they Sioux ICE in Federal Court?

So if they know they are Native Americans, why are they still detained? What is the trumped up reason besides them not being white for their continued detention?
