Protection from Legal Liability for Knowingly Quoting Speakers Who Do Not Have Legal Authority to Speak on Behalf of Federally Recognized Indian Tribes
For Publications
1. There are no individuals on the List of Federally Recognized Indian Tribes. Therefore, no individual is a Federally Recognized Indian. (https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2023/01/12/2023-00504/indian-entities-recognized-by-and-eligible-to-receive-services-from-the-united-states-bureau-of)
2. There is no Federal List of Individual Native Americans. Therefore, no individual Native American is Federally Recognized, only the Tribe that issues their Tribal Identification Card.
3. Does the person or organization to be quoted have a current Tribal Identification Card?
4. Does the person or organization to be quoted have legal documentation issued by the same Native American Tribe that issued their Identification Card, allowing that individual to speak on behalf of the Tribe?
5. Does the person to be quoted legally reside within the legal jurisdiction of the Native American Tribe for which they are speaking? Many Tribes revoke the Citizenship of persons living outside of their legal jurisdiction.
6. Does the quote interfere with the economic or political well-being of a Native American Tribe or person who is a Citizen of a Tribe? If so, it is an obstruction of justice in direct violation of Montana v. United States (1901)
7. Does the quote continue the genocide and ethnic cleansing begun by the United States government and its Indian allies against specific Native American Tribes and their Citizens? Is the publication continuing the genocide and ethnic cleansing against Native Americans by publishing the quote?
8. Does the quote have authoritative federal statutes and codes that allow the person to violate Tribal Sovereignty, Indian Self Determination Act, Decendancy of a Tribal Roll, Census, or Treaty, Indian Civil Rights Act, or Indian Non-Intercourse Act?
9. Does the person who is speaking do so with the purpose of Tortious Interference (intentional interference with contractual relations)?

10. Does the Business, Organization, or Event plan to break, rescind, or deny contracts or agreements with a Citizen of a Native American Tribe based upon the fraudulent hearsay of a person who has no authority to speak on the subject legally? In doing so, the business, organization, or event may be legally liable based upon Tortious Interference, defamation of character, Montana v. United States, loss of revenue, and numerous other federal statutes relating to Native Americans.
