I support Duwamish sovereignty. Treaties are supposed to be the supreme law of the land, and the U.S. has trampled on Native nations' treaty rights since its inception. Federal recognition honors the nation-to-nation relationship the Duwamish Tribe always has had with the U.S.
Sarah supported: Federal Recognition for the Duwamish TribeHow can we accept the further neglect of an individual tribe? Must we deny their existence as a tribe? What harm is there in indulging this small request? I think that the simple truth is that pettiness and infighting has delayed this recognition far too long. Please recognize the Duwamish!
Peter supported: Federal Recognition for the Duwamish TribeDo the right thing and Recognize the Duwamish People! They have been the stewards of the land since time immemorial! They deserved to be honored and their treaty rights met!
Sarah supported: Federal Recognition for the Duwamish TribeIt is appalling to consider the actions and inactions of the settlers who struck treaties with the original inhabitants and then refused to carry out their side of those agreements. The Duwamish people have been disrespected enough. It is time to do what can now be done to set this matter to rest. I applaud all who take action to set the record straight and make our collective futures better.
Ruth supported: Federal Recognition for the Duwamish TribeAs an Alaskan native man myself I’m willing to at least do this. May all those who lost their lives find closure in this act.
Kali supported: Federal government: Demand that every residential schools’ land to be throughly searched to recover deceased Native American childrenIt's ridiculous that, after all we have done to the people who were here before us, where the Native voices that our forebears attempted to obliterate and silence over more than several centuries are STILL being marginallized, even by the so-called "liberal" people, the Governor of this so-called liberal state is supporting the Johnny-come lately millionaires over the native people of this land. I stand with the Shinnecocks.
Bettina supported: Stand with the Shinnecock: An Open Letter to the People of New York StateI am a member of the Shinnecock Nation. It is a disgrace that in 2024 we still have to fight for equality and the ability to support ourselves economically! Should we talk about what has unlawfully been stolen from us? Suppression continues to happen in many forms, and this is one of them...shameful.
R supported: Stand with the Shinnecock: An Open Letter to the People of New York StateLocal towns clamping down on the tribes right to economic development is absolutely the most absurdly ironic and openly discriminatory thing to have happened in local government history in my lifetime. This is something that will be seen as an embarrassment, an example of blatant injustice, by future generations.
Joshua supported: Stand with the Shinnecock: An Open Letter to the People of New York StateThese recent escalations are part of a pattern of the Town of Southampton & the State of NY utterly disrespecting & disregarding the autonomy of the Shinnecock Nation to decide what should be done on *their* land. The Town of Southampton has, also, still not ceded Shinnecock Hills to the Shinnecock Tribe (which, hence the name, should be a no-brainer.) This is largely because the lucrative Shinnecock Hills Golf Course now occupies that land (and was built over tribal burial grounds.) I believe wholeheartedly in the right of the Shinnecock Tribe to move forward with these projects to support their economic prosperity. Please support this petition!
Nicole supported: Stand with the Shinnecock: An Open Letter to the People of New York StateYou’re not alone — a community of supporters is ready to back you.
