"LAND CLAIMS PLEDGE"


Here are some examples of Land Claim Statements: 

Bishop’s University (Sherbrooke) – We [I] would like to begin by acknowledging that the land on which we gather is the traditional and unceded territory of the Abenaki people and the Wabenaki confederacy.

Concordia University (Montréal) – We [I] would like to begin by acknowledging that the land on which we gather is the traditional and unceded territory of the Kanien’keha:ka (Mohawk), a place which has long served as a site of meeting and exchange amongst nations.

Yale University acknowledges that indigenous peoples and nations, including Mohegan,Mashantucket Pequot,2 Eastern Pequot,3 Schaghticoke,4 Golden Hill Paugussett,5 Niantic,6 and the Quinnipiac7 and other Algonquian8 speaking peoples, have stewarded through generations the lands and waterways of what is now the state of Connecticut.  We honor and respect the enduring relationship that exists between these peoples and nations and this land.


Vlad Tepes has some interesting thoughts here:

At pretty much every event in Canada now from a picnic to any kind of official meeting, they do a land claims pledge before they so much as say a relevant word. Let me be as clear about this as humanly possible.

The Land Claims pledge is in no way meant to offer any benefit to people commonly referred to as “Indians” or “First Peoples” or however one thinks of the various and diverse tribal peoples in North America before Europeans arrived. Quite the opposite. It is to obliterate any sense of entitlement or belonging or sovereignty of the existing legal and cultural structures. It is to bring in a God-like state in its power and authority at the expense of the individual and the nation state which allows groups of people to apply their own legal and cultural frames of reference based on their histories and customs in those regions.

The Land Claim is to make it clear that anyone who objects to the mass immigration of people entirely alien to the West and its customs and laws, has no right to object. because “Indians and land claims”. But then ask yourself how much Muslims or Chinese communists will care about Amer-Indians or Eskimos when they have the whip hand. Life will be so much worse for them it will be difficult to comprehend. There will be no guilt to leverage whatsoever. No history fake or real that needs financial compensation or special rights. They will take what they want, and do what they want according to their own beliefs and philosophies with all of us. Indians and Eskimos will not be much of a consideration at all.

GO READ THE WHOLE THING.
