82.) There is now a need for a worldwide grassroots effort to have the United Nations officially declare a month of the year as INDIGENOUS NATIONS MONTH. (5 min. read)

Yes, the United Nations currently recognizes an Indigenous PEOPLES Day (created in 1982).

Here's the Canadian legal definition of "Indigenous Peoples" quoted from Bill C15: "Indigenous peoples has the meaning assigned by the definition Aboriginal peoples of Canada in subsection 35 (2) of the Constitution Act, 1982." First, let's look at " Aboriginal peoples of Canada". Recall Article 29, regarding not letting nations or entities call you anything except by your Sovereign Indian Nation name. By allowing these colonial labels, like "Aboriginal" and "First Nations", to designate one's Sovereign Indian Nation, is an agreement to be a submissive, vassel subject, to the racist colonial laws, the Indian Act and being the wards of the the colonializing power- in this case Canada. You are voluntarily giving up your sovereignty by allowing Canada to call you by these labels of colonization. And you are voluntarily giving ...
