FANA Director General Neesu Wushuwunoag shares 7 points of general clarity regarding American Indians in American law.

1. Moors are not American Indians
2. Race is a social construct that was introduced into American society in 1676 after the Bacon’s Rebellion and King Philip’s War
3. Phenotype is not expressly or solely determinant of one’s indigenous heritage
4. “American Indian” is a political status, not a racial designation
5. There was never any united aboriginal nation.
6. Treaties and land rights are specific to Tribal Nations
7. Individual perspective and experience is inferior to Tribal Law and Custom
