Today in Labor History May 16, 1862: President Lincoln signed the Homestead Act. As a result, 84 million acres of public (i.e., Indigenous) lands were opened to settlers. Any citizen who had never taken up arms against the U.S. (i.e., northerners), including women and freed slaves, could file for a federal land grant. Consequently, great swaths of Native American land and natural resources were usurped by settlers. Additionally, much of the land was acquired by businesses, not individual citizens. For example, most of the rainforest west of Portland, Oregon was acquired by the Oregon Lumber Company through illegal claims under the act.

In classic form (by using cheap words) the pope recently rejected the Doctrine of Discovery, which provided nation states a "legal" rationale for #LandTheft for centuries, which the Church benefitted from. Ruth Bader Ginsberg used it to justify *not* addressing land dispossession as recently as 2005

Here's a map of a small portion of the land the Church gained that they could give back.

You think the pope will put his money where his mouth is & give the #LandBack ?

Not only that, but traditional Cayugas are opposed to the land into trust because it means that the US Federal government will hold the land. Also, gambling and drinking go against traditional teachings, and the reason why this land needs to be in trust is so that Halftown can create a casino.

This is cultural erasure and interference #Indigenous governance, that the US is actively engaging in. #LandTheft

I wrote an piece on all this last year:

Today in Labor History February 8, 1887: The Dawes Act created a U.S. government-imposed system of private property on Indigenous lands. It forced Native Americans to “assume a capitalist relationship with property” that did not previously exist in their cultures.

If an oppessor of 75 years just waltzed into your #Christmas Eve celebration and started assaulting patrons, shooting #stunGrenades and #rubberBullets; again after 75 years of oppression and #landTheft, would you just roll over starfish-style?

Oh and #Google are now labelling commentators criminals. Sounds like the #MinistryOfTruth and #theAlgorithms have it all worked out.

"FOR THE LAND IS OURS" emblazened across their #medallions.

So before they go to war with #China to prop up their #USDollar (woops we mean save poor little #Taiwan from a country that, warts-and-all, lifted 800 million out of #poverty and who their #powerElite were happy to send all our #productiveIndustries to for decades while we were screaming about the longterm damage that would do to us),

… we suppose then we better start with #Israel, and by bombing ourselves in #Australia for being part of that alliance.

Oh wait what?!

But stealing other people's land is good for #growth.

And 'growth' starts with a 'G' like 'great', 'good', 'god' and 'google' so it must be good.
