One Nation OK Lies - A Warning
Jul 28, 2003
NOTE FROM ROBERT FRANCIS: If you don't know about the anti-Indian hate group called "One Nation," you should. Is some of the money you spend for gasoline being spent in an anti-Indian hate campaign? Check it out.
Do'hi, Robert

Some of you are aware of my new website created to fight the "anti-Indian" campaign being waged by One Nation OK. Some of you may not be aware. This message is to let you all know that the website www.onenationoklies.com is real and I have added 4 new pages to the lineup today. An online and printable petition is in the works.
Get real here people. This is happening in Oklahoma but the people who are behind the One Nation movement are Nation Wide. They don't just do business here in Oklahoma but all over this country. If you think for one minute that this issue doesn't affect you and your family...... YOU are wrong! We have to get the word out not only to the Indian population but the general public as well. We have to let them all see the truth and to see through the lies that One Nation is spreading.
We have to stand up and fight these bigots on their own turf (even though it WAS ours to begin with). If you have websites link to us, if you have message boards tell the tale on them, if you have NDN friends on your e-mail list tell them, if you know of other ways to help in this war on racism email me.

FACTS
Tribal governments contribute over $7.8 billion annually to Oklahoma's economy in the areas of business, employment, education, health care, social services, housing, and others. Sixty-two of Oklahoma's seventy-seven counties are directly impacted by tribal economies.
It is our hope that this website will serve to dispell the mis-information that is being spread by OneNationok.com about American Indian Tribes and businesses in Oklahoma.
But we do need your help in creating this site. There are many ways you can help. These could include website, e-mail and snail mail addresses for member companies of onenationok; factual documentation that dispells the myths they are presenting to the public; links to other sites and organizations who are committed to our cause; volunteers to spread the word. We can all help in one way or another. Let's work together for American Indian Sovereignty!
The following is an excerpt from the One Nation homepage describing "who they are."
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
One Nation is a privately funded organization, the first and only advocacy- focused effort in Oklahoma and the U.S. created to "push back" against the massive expansion of tribal authority and the various disruptions and inequities created by sovereignty- based policies. One Nation stands for equal treatment under the laws governing our state and nation. We will impact public debate in an effort to correct inequities created by virtue of special treatment afforded businesses and industries owned by Native American tribes. Our Mission is to become a catalyst for legal, legislative, and regulatory changes that provide for the fair and equitable treatment of all citizens. One Nation will be an outspoken advocate on issues relating to how Native American tribal authority and power is distorting the free market American economy.
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
The founding coalition members are Oklahoma Independent Petroleum Association, Oklahoma Petroleum Marketers Association, Oklahoma Farm Bureau, Southern Oklahoma Water Alliance and the Oklahoma Grocers Association. Co-Chairmen are Jeramy Rich, Director of Public Policy, Oklahoma Farm Bureau and Rusty Shaw, Owner: Shaw's Gulf, Inc.
Can we, as American Indians, ignore the implications of what One Nation is attempting to do with the sovereignty of the Indian Nations in Oklahoma? I think not!!! This is a call for all American Indians to rise up against One Nation and their cause. They want to break more treaties that the US government is obligated to keep. Call your Tribal leaders, Senators and Congressmen. Contact everyone you know and tell them of the agenda that One Nation has for the Indian people.
One Nation Lies News Letter
2-13-2005 Volume 51
<><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><>
Dear friends and supporters,
This will likely be the last issue of the One Nation Lies news letter.
No, we are not giving up on the battle against One Nation and similar organizations.
The One Nation Lies web site and message board will remain active as tools for those who seek information and wish to express their thoughts and feelings on issues important to us all. What we are doing is shifting strategies in the battle against those who would chip away at or flatly deny Indigenous sovereignty and rights.
<><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><>
You should all have noticed that there isn't much information about One Nation and their
allies to publish in recent months. They are being quiet and silently lobbying their cause.
We have a new web site, United Indigenous Sovereignty Organization,
( http://www.uiso.org/ ) that will attempt to address all these issues on a global basis.
Our hope is to have news and information that will help to educate those who do not know
of these issues, inform those who do and enlighten those who are only vaguely aware.
<><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><>
Every thing that you would find in this news letter and more can be found at uiso.org.
Click on Indigenous Issues to see news items from outside the US or that are generic in nature. The U. S. Issues link will take you to a page where you can explore news by individual state.
<><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><>
The site is a work in progress and new content, links and news sections will be added on a regular basis. In the works now are news sections for Canadian/B.C. and South America issues. Other sections will follow as time allows. More items in the planning stages are a message board, guest book, an RSS feed and news letter. While it is not necessary to register in order to explore the web site, there is a log in form where you can register.
At this point the only benefit of registering is the ability to postnews that you feel is relevant. But, in the future there will be other benefits available to registered members such as the news letter and message board.
<><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><>
I ask you all to visit the site and see for your selves what we are doing.
My sincere hope is that you will migrate here for the information you have been recieving in this news letter and find uiso.org a better source of information than you imagined.
Feel free to e mail me with suggestions or critique.
<><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><>
Thanks to you all for your continued support. It makes all the work worth it!
Blessings to you and yours.

Washington tribe still affected by excavation of village
Members of the Lower Elwha Klallam Tribe of Washington said they are still trying to cope with the
excavation of a major village where hundreds of ancestors were buried.
The tribe participated in excavation of the site, which was being used for a state construction project.
The enormous discovery prompted the tribe to ask the state to stop the work.
The state complied but tribal members told the Port Angeles Community Multicultural Task Force
that the decision has flared up racism in the community.

McCain opposes Native Hawaiian recognition bill
Thursday, January 6, 2005
Sen. John McCain (R-Arizona), the new chairman of the Senate Indian Affairs Committee,
opposes federal recognition for Native Hawaiians.
McCain said Native Hawaiians are not eligible for the same federal status as American Indians
and Alaska Natives. He opposes a bill that would recognize a Native Hawaiian government.
The bill has been pending in Congress for several years. The Bush administration has expressed doubts
about special treatment for Native Hawaiians.
