Just think if America took down all the statues and flags that Native Americans didn’t like. I would like to say something to the people that acknowledge the Civil Rights Act of 1964. How would they or anyone like to live in Salamanca and be surrounded by Cattaraugus County in New York State as a Native American. The Indian Civil Rights Act of 1968 set forth a proper procedure to obtain legal jurisdiction through a Special Election Title 25 Section 1326. It still to this day is being violated by Salamanca police, Cattaraugus County sheriffs and the New York State troopers and all judges and lawyers. I agree with protesting for training of the whole judicial system on the civil rights on all Indian territories. Since Title 25 Section 232 (Criminal) and 233 (Civil jurisdiction), were vengeful and unconstitutional, also further attempt of assimilation of New York State Native Americans. Criminal jurisdiction can still be maintained with Federal Law Title 18, Section 1153. The United States Supreme Court explains some of these issues, reference: July 2020, the state of Oklahoma.
Final Thought
Citizens are told ignorance of the law is no excuse. Lawyers don’t’ even know all the different laws. Why are police and judges allowed to violate federal and constitutional law without punishment? Their behavior flies in the face of the Declaration of Independence, Pledge of Allegiance and the Treaty of 1794. People like that disgrace the US flag more than protester’s do, because it violates their sworn oath to uphold the law (all laws, not just the ones they want to) and severely destroys our trust and respect in them. I believe that everyday news shows that!
