Global PETITION: UN Declaration - Rights of Indigenous Peoples
How you assist the Choctaw people?
For many months and a few years we have been seeking assistance with our nation and the harm caused to our sovereignty by the Armed Occupation Act of 1842. The return of our land according to what we have outlined, and all the economic assistance for developing and sustainability.
We have requested civilian appropriations so we can take care of ourself and protect our people, the United State has done very poorly towards our nation.

"We reaffirm our commitment to continue making progress in the advancement of the human rights of the world’s indigenous peoples at the local, national, regional and international levels, including through consultation and collaboration with them, and to present for adoption a final draft United Nations declaration on the rights of indigenous peoples as soon as possible."
-- 2005 World Summit Outcome , adopted by the UN General Assembly, 24 October 2005
In every region of the world, the survival or well-being of Indigenous peoples is threatened by grave and persistent violations of their fundamental human rights.
A strong and uplifting United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples is urgently needed to establish minimum international standards to inspire and urge states and others to respect and uphold the rights of Indigenous peoples without discrimination.
We call upon all states to support as a priority the UN Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples (Human Rights Council, Res. 2006/2, 29 June 2006, Annex) and its adoption by the General Assembly before the end of 2006.
