I.S.R Group Rules

Posted byillaheespiritrunners2020Posted inUncategorizedTags:, , ,
  1. No neo colonialism: We do not seek to be mayor or president but by self-determination, install and build a fledgling pan indigenous government. More info: So much of our cultures are invisible to non-natives and they may not know we still have governance and organizations still in place today that predate the arrival of Europeans. If we had cities like Cahokia, then we surely had governments. Politics separate from Europeans Some of those groups may include but not limited to Iroquois Confederacy, Three Council Fires. Smaller representations may include tobacco societies. In fact, it was “America” and Russia that stole pieces of Turtle Island political systems then altered them and passed them off as their own. Furthermore, the restoration aspect of this also includes restoring our indigenous spirituality from the damage caused by missionaries, doctrine of discovery, residential schools that nearly destroyed our nations and remain a daily barrier to decolonization and the ability for indigenous peoples to get control over our own destinies on our own land. Neo colonialism is plaguing Turtle Island sellouts we got natives running for president of the empire and a native in the department of the interior. This undermines indigenous governance. We view colonial government and government agencies as illegitimate. Neocolonialism is the empire creating a sub class of petty bourgeoisie that look like colonized people but serve the empire by allowing them to exploit from a distance. We are not fooled by identity politics, and we intend to seize power for ourselves. Let’s build power and an apparatus for decolonization. Let’s get things done while these neo-colonial sellouts with the blood of their own people on their hands try to run for office.
  2. No tone policing/ peace policing: You can be as angry as you want to be as long as you don’t incriminate yourself or others in the group. Anger is an appropriate catalyst for change. People have been programmed to tone police. Indigenous people have been tone policed so long that we now tone police each other normalize it and try to pass it off as traditional. This is incorrect when I speculate about the source of this, I think it must be the residential schools. The nuns don’t have to smack our hands with a ruler anymore because we do it to each other. Quelling righteous anger does the work of the oppressor for them, it merely enforces the status quo. Tone policing is liberalism. Angry slaves and so hostile natives were first to be punished. I.S.R is a place for constructive anger. Be angry, be safe. Let’s get things done while other people are tone policing the crap out of each other into impotence.
  3. No anti Africa: We seek to unite with African and other oppressed groups and will work with anyone who agrees with indigenous rule. We recognize that anti African sentiments within the indigenous community are rampant. We find it a barrier to unity. The oppressor benefits from frictions between our two groups. We seek afro indigenous membership. We believe in indigenous rule and will work with anyone who believes in indigenous rule regardless of race. We are convinced that indigenous rule will unite the races on Turtle Island. We want to get things done while other people fight each other.
  4. No colorism: There’s a lot more to being native than blood quantum. Colorism is another barrier to unity in the movement. It stinks of the colonial practice of disenrollment. This becomes exasperated when settlers are trying to decide who is native and who is not. At Illahee Spirit Runners we will have none of this. We will accept low blood quantum natives, mixed race natives. Sometimes there are full bloods who can’t speak the language or can’t play any songs etc. then you find someone who is 1 1/16 who knows both. So, we do not engage in colorism. We learned from historical materialism that we need light skinned members to win. We have been made aware that African militants have been denied membership to African militant spaces for having European mothers. We see colorism as a barrier to unity. We are concerned with developing a winning politic. Colorism serves white supremacy and colonialism We get things done while others fight over blood quantum.
  5. No gender sparring: We understand that there are up to seven genders and all of them are sacred. We seek the balance and unity of all seven genders. We became aware from Lakota star knowledge that there are up to 7 genders and all of them are sacred. We seek to keep gender balanced and seek the participation of all 7 genders. Threats to the planet and our races and nations are paramount. Gender sparring is seen as unproductive use of time while we still haven’t won the revolution. Gender sparring is discouraged and can eventually after several warnings result in being asked to leave the organization. We refuse to let the overall movement spend this next decade fighting over the bathroom. Climate catastrophe deem that we are out of time. At Illahee Spirit Runners we get things done while others are fighting over gender. We understand we need all genders to win.
  6. No astroturf: We understand that many groups including indigenous ones are now funded by corporations such as ExxonMobil and the Koch bros or even the two-party system. We seek to remain true grassroots independent of corporatocracy and the non-profit industrial complex. This is one of the great deceptions in the movement. Controlled opposition. Corporations so big they can create fake grassroots organizations. Many times, these organizations have better advertising and also are skilled at fundraising and will remove all resources from a community on a topic before benevolent actual grassroots organizations can respond. Some of these are even indigenous orgs. and N.G.Os. world bankers, and corporations. Are the same ones starting water wars around the planet funding your favorite N.G.O? Were they involved in eugenics? And for whom do they want to protect the environment for? At Illahee Spirit Runners we will have none of this. We will remain grassroots and hustle art, and tacos if we have to before we will ever sell out. We get things done while other people are selling out}
  7. No Militarism: We understand that the u.s military is the largest polluter on the planet, and one cannot claim allegiance to the earth and support the military. We seek to venerate land defenders not veterans of oil wars and empire. Now they are trying to make new mines for lithium, and they are using up all the biofuel in Brazil on their aircraft carriers. They have to diversify fuel sources because they use so much it would deplete entire fuel sources. Clearly this is a contradiction to anyone trying to defend the land. Furthermore, there is not currently a draft. There is a restoration element to this because many of our ancestors including my many of own have been forced into fighting wars for the oppressor. It has caused us unmeasurable trauma that has rippled through our generations. We’re not talking about it were showing you how. Heal this generational trauma and correct this pattern by no longer venerating veterans of wars of oil and empire. Venerate land defenders now. Tell the youth to emulate the land defenders. Furthermore, we must acknowledge and bolster the ancient warrior societies that are older than the so-called united states. The ones venerated at the pow wow each year are too busy waving the flag of the oppressor trying to get a leg up with them that they can’t even defend our missing and murdered indigenous. Venerating military vets undermines our warrior prowess and keeps us in a place of disrespect as a people. We will have none of that either and we always seek to venerate pre-colonial and contemporary warrior societies and land defenders. We want to get things done while someone else salutes the flag of the oppressor.)

  4. I want to join hands with you. I have been angry for so long that your ideas create a sense of dignity restored, of unity in a world of division, & of hope for the wolves, for whom I have been an ardent advocate for over 40 years. Please let me know how I can be of assistance. Thank you!
