Allow for accurate lineage choices for the Blacks and African-Americans
Allow for accurate lineage choices for the Blacks and African-Americans
The Issue
Petition to Remedy reflect accurate lineage as the Misclassification of American Indians, as being, Brown, Mulatto, Colored, Black, and lately African Americans.
The Issue
The Cultural and Arts sector is a significant contributor to the U.S. and global economies, adding over $1.2 trillion annually in the U.S. alone, with an additional $1.8 trillion in spending power. Despite this immense contribution that people today identified as being **Black Americans** and/or **African Americans**, having blood lineage to the Indigenous Americans, are routinely excluded from due credit and compensation for their creative and cultural legacies. This exclusion is perpetuated by ambiguities and inaccuracies in current racial categories used by the U.S. Census and federal, state, county, and city agencies abroad.
Historically, as European immigration surged in the 1700s and new arrivals gained control of North American governance, Congressional hearings and census policies began to systematically obscure and erase the identities and legacies of the continent’s original peoples. This ongoing **paper genocide**—the bureaucratic erasure and reclassification of Black Americans and American Indians—has denied our communities recognition, rights, and restitution for generations.
Currently, the U.S. Census Bureau and government agencies classify “Black or African American” as a single race category. This broad designation conflates the unique identity of Black Americans—those whose ancestors have no other homeland but America, who built and defended this nation from its inception—with Black-identified immigrant populations. This not only distorts our story but also perpetuates the narrative that “immigrants built America,” disregarding the documented sacrifices, inventions, and labor of our ancestors, whose presence on this land predates the founding of the United States.
In light of H.R.1 being written into law, and considering recent Presidential remarks affirming that Black Americans are the only constitutionally protected group of Birthright Citizens, it is imperative that we correct the record and update our nation’s standards.
Our Demands
Reclassification and Recognition
Revise the U.S. Census race category “Black or African American” to read “American”**, defined as:
People or Birthright Citizens with origins in any of the original Colored Peoples or Indian tribes of North America.
This change honors those who laid the cultural and physical foundation of North America and ensures fairness to all tribes already in existence.
All other “Black” races, including Black-identified immigrant populations, should be included under “Other.”
Update the categories “Mulatto, Colored, Negro, Black, American Indian, Alaska Native” and **“Native American”**, to Aboriginal/Indigenous Americans with the description:
People with migrational origins in any of the original North American, Central and South American continents to include; Alaskan or Asian tribes or citizens of Federally Recognized tribes, descendants of colonial settlers.
Discovery, access, and redress to all known tribal records that provide direct distinction of the misclassified American Indian, held by federal agencies.
If one hasn't been created already, Create a federally commissioned genealogical committee, managed by a trusted and representative body, to examine bloodline lineage for misclassified American Indians and properly connect birthright. Make it public and easily accessible it one does exist.
Establish oversight and sanctioning boards to review tribal membership criteria, appeals, and grievances related to ongoing misclassification by federal agencies or individual tribes.
Create a Tribal Band Extension Commission to protect the process and implementation for misclassified American Indians, overseen by the Department of Justice.
Federal Protections and Institutional Reform
Immediate, unique, and distinct federal protections for genealogically determined misclassified American Indians, with exceptions to tribal registration requirements.
Special task force to investigate human trafficking of misclassified American Indians.
Federally recognize and fund the creation of the American Indian Political Ministries (AIPM) and ensure access to voter registration for all U.S. citizens.
Removal, Return, and Restitution
Appoint a special committee to report on land removed through exile, taxation, displacement, or eminent domain.
Remove taxation on land for misclassified American Indians and dissolve mandates on income tax divestment.
Immediate repeal of HR 4238 (2015), which violated the American Declaration of the Rights of Indigenous Peoples (ADRIP) by reclassifying American Indians and Negroes as African American and Native American or Alaskan Native.
Reform bills for social services, correctional systems, health care, media, housing, and education to correct historical misclassification and erasure.
Implement and fund American Indian culture and heritage education in all federally funded schools, and require American Indian Studies courses at Historically Black Colleges and Universities.
Include American Indian history in the U.S. citizenship test.
Impose a moratorium on land, water, mineral, and property sales to foreign buyers and corporate entities.
Guarantee immunity for misclassified American Indians in the possession or use of cultural and ceremonial crops.
Freedom of spiritual and ceremonial practice for all misclassified American Indians.
Restitution
Establish a public trust for restitution funds for misclassified American Indians.
Fund the trust through utility, transportation, and corporate taxes.
Provide restitution for fraud, racketeering, and conspiracy committed against misclassified American Indians, including wrongful imprisonment, unfair sentencing, and illegal health interventions.
Waive federal fees for agricultural licensing and grant direct authority over sacred agricultural sites.
Remove all debts and reimburse educational fees for misclassified American Indians.
Grant federal pardons and expungements for non-violent drug offenses.
Oversight and Implementation
Demand public hearings and specially assigned oversight committees to review and implement the American Indian Inclusion Act.
Ensure laws and procedures are created to remedy misclassification and provide the choice for American Indian identity to those who have experienced paper genocide, ethnocide, and policide.
At presentation to the United States Congress, a detailed manifesto of grievances—documented from the inception of the United States to the present—will be submitted.
Join me in advocating for this vital change. Sign this petition to call on the U.S. Census Bureau and government agencies at both the federal and state levels to make these changes a reality.
This was revised petition is structured for clarity, impact, and legal precision, while maintaining your original intent and advocacy call on 07/11/2025. It also reflects the ongoing evolution of federal standards for race and ethnicity classification, as highlighted in recent updates by the U.S. Office of Management and Budget and the Census Bureau. Minister Jeffrey continues to advocate for all indigenous peoples on earth. Let's Go!
