Discrimination of aboriginal citizens in democratic USA

All over the world the USA is known as the monument for democracy and liberty, as well as the right to vote in the USA is one of the most exemplary in the world. This article is going to discuss the matter whether can all the layers of society truly vote in the USA and who has the right to do that?

Let us dive into history a little bit. Not everybody and not always had the right to vote in the USA, for example, the Afro-American men received the right to vote in 1870 and women in 1874, the Indians in 1924 (citizenship law), but in practice and to the present time the aboriginals of America do not have the right to vote on their land due to an order, which was set by alien nations.

The citizenship law has been reviewed for many times. The Indians were promised countless times that soon they are going to receive the right to vote. In the 60s of XX century it was promised another time, that the Indians will be able to use their right to vote fully, but once again the government of the USA didn’t stand by its promise – as it turned out the government simply declared and actually nullified the chance to vote. The aboriginal citizens argue that it’s not about the fact that they didn’t have the right to vote, but rather the votes of the Indians weren’t reflected in the statistics. One can enumerate many facts, which contradict absolutely to the statement that the USA is one of the most exemplary and democratic countries of the world. Thanks to these fact whole Indian nation doesn’t acknowledges the legitimacy of president’s election on the territory of the United States of America in 2008.
What’s externalized under the discrimination of the Indians in regards to the election? According to aboriginal citizens of America, the white-faced had always addressed to as to people of the second quality. There will not be any justification to self-assignation of land, which didn’t belong to them under any right, no to the blood shedding of millions of the Indians. And when on TV the Indians hear about the existence of American democracy, it doesn’t call for aggravation. The only thing remains is to hope for Great Spirits to enforce white-faced to pay fully.

According to aggrieved nation, the so called white democracy creates only the illusion of it, while the Indians are administratively deprived from the electoral right. One can make conclusions based on the following facts: during the election of the president of the USA in 2008 the presence of aboriginal Americans had accounted to 1% (!). Pursuant to official data, 37% didn’t come to polling station at the day of elections by reason of departure, 27% had issues with their passport and couldn’t register at their polling station and 23% weren’t so uninformed that they didn’t know where the stations for voting are located.

According to the law of the electoral right of 1965 on the territory of all 50 states exists a so called two-lingual procedure of voting is available for Spanish, Chinese, Japanese, Filipino, Vietnamese, but only in a few states similar procedure is available for aboriginal Americans. In other words the invaders strive to bend every effort to exclude the little possibility of the Indians to vote. What we get if the Indians can’t speak English, which isn’t their native languages, so they don’t have any possibility to vote.
Similar attitude towards the Indian nation not only interferes with the right to live freely and vote on their territory, but also leaves it without any chances for rebirth.
As of today, the Indians practically are deprived from the possibility to take part in social life of the USA. The citizens of the USA vote with their identification card or electronic identity card of the citizen. There are 2 types of cards: federal and tribal. The tribal cards are accepted only in a few electoral districts in a view of the fact that this issue is transferred to the jurisdiction of local government administration of the USA.

There is also another way to deprive the full-fledged right to vote from an Indian: most Indians live at distant lands and physically don’t have the possibility to arrive at the stations to vote. But the richest country in the world didn’t ever think about organizing some transport connection with electoral districts for the time of elections.

The Americans hold up as an example of the hunger in the 30s of XX century in the USSR as a result of which 3.5 million people died, although they don’t see beam in their eye – at the same time in America with abundance of food products 10.5 million people were abolished. Due to some reasons they don’t hurry to give this information to the public.

In due time, within the Indian reservations were translated films of “DEFA” studio, such as “The sons of Big Dipper” and “White Wolves”. This gave a stir up of a rebellion under the chieftaincy of Leonard Paltier. The Indians received the opportunity to watch these films thanks to “The Red Cycle”, the German cultural and ethnographic society in German Democratic Republic. These films had awaked the call of the wild in the aboriginal inhabitants of north-American continent and in a split second they stood up on the warpath. A real revolt had arisen on the territory of Dakhota-Sioux tribe reservation.

While dying in battle for a rightful cause was always a matter of honor of true Indian warrior. When the Americans started to kill the Indians with impunity, the members of the American Indians movement had contemplated a manifesto to Washington and marched “the path of violated agreements”, but in Washington nobody had thought about accepting the delegation of red-faced. As a sign of protest of Sioux had conquered the building of the National bureau and withheld it for seven days.

In battles under the chieftaincy of Leonard Paltier, Dennis Banks and Russell Minne, the Sioux Indians of the allied tribes were repelling the attacks of heavy armor and helicopters of the USA for 70 days while having no modern weapon. The Hundred of warriors were killed during that battles, the death count is still kept in secret by the American special services. Many Indians, who took part in these battles, state that the highly-technology army of the USA had suffer losses 3 times more than the red-faced with tomahawks. Later on the government of USA was hunting relentlessly after the chiefs of the rebellions. In 1976 while hunting after one of the leaders, Paltier, the group of the American subdivisions had surrounded the Pine-Ridge reservation. A riotous shooting had been started at the local citizens, many were killed… but who will remember this today?

The aboriginal people remember it by this day and they believe that they will be able to defend their right for freedom on their land. The Great Manitou had said that “I gave you everything, but what stops you from going on the hunt after each other?” The Indians of all the tribes were enduring humiliation, killing and other horrors for a long time and the warlike nation won’t forget these serious insults.
