Our Proclamation

Treaty Of Respect

In deep pursuit of Respect for our Native American Root peoples of the Western Hemisphere, we the receptive Citizens of all Fair Cities and Towns represented by our Cambridge Sunshine Foundation Community Activist, Minister, Danny De Gug; seek to present to our Local and distant Native American Indian Dignitaries the Proclamation of the Treaty of Respect.

In so doing we will pledge to do our best to fulfill the seven major programs, the Treaty of Respect.

Our Proclamation

WHEREAS:

 Native Americans of these United States in particular and the Western Hemisphere in general, have suffered humiliations ranging from expropriation of their ancestral lands, forced education in Western thought, and confinement, in the case of the United States to reservations which, given the high levels of alcoholism, drug abuse, high unemployment, and social ills have become killing fields for the dreams of many native Americans who, historically, were self sufficient stewards of the earth, air, water, flora, and fauna; and

WHEREAS:

 The injuries and insults to which Native Peoples in the United States in particular and the Western Hemisphere in general have been subjected, by this, has decimated the native population, alienated them from a world view and a way of living that was harmonious with nature; and

 WHEREAS:

Native peoples in these United States and in the Western Hemisphere deserve a Treaty of Respect that will affirm their contributions to the United States as we know it, educate our community in general and our youth in particular about the tragedy and the triumphs of native Americans, so as to ensure that what happened to native Americans would never again be allowed to happen in the United States in particular and in the Western Hemisphere in general; and

WHEREAS:

A new Treaty of Respect, which will usher-in a new era of cordial relations between Americans of European, Asian, and African Ancestry, and our native American brothers and sisters, provide a vehicle for citizens of the United States and the Western Hemisphere to atone for the benefits they have derived from the oppression and subjugation of the Native population.

WHEREAS:

A Western Hemispherical Holiday weekend has been declared to combat the stereotype of Native American inferiority propagated by western cultures through movies and literature, educational banners highlighting the contributions of Native Americans to American society and way of life, will be displayed seasonally or at least bi-annually by local businesses and schools!

These educational banners will high light Native Americans aspects, as to restore identity to our Native Root People for all they did as great Stewards of the Lands in the Americas; in the Arts, Music, Philosophy; to restore to them true dignity.

 Furthermore, we must state and say, we see and honor our Root Peoples of the Western Hemisphere with recognition with a Works of Art program,

And as Farmers and Philosophers, as the originators of Tomato sauce, Potatoes, all Peppers, all Squashes, all Corns, Chocolate and Vanilla. By this fact we honor them with the Title, Stewards of the Americas!

WHEREAS:

The Native peoples of the Americas have demonstratively shown very high and well developed forms of Art. To honor the achievement of native Americans in the Arts, we as a City fully support Federal and Private Funding for an exhibition of Native American Art from the Americas, exhibitions of permanently placed Art by Native American Artisans that will be situated in over 400 major cities throughout the Americas! The Art works will be conditioned to be movable so to transport and share.  Already, all New England States have welcomed this Works of Art program; and

WHEREAS:

To educate our youth about the injustices to which native Americans have been subjected as well as highlight their significant accomplishments in the Arts, Environment, and Philosophy, School Departments will be encouraged to display educational banners about native American achievements in their classrooms, and prepare students to locate websites, books, and other educational material that will shed light on the plight and triumphs of the Native Peoples of the Americas; and

WHEREAS:

Great Leaders and Seers among the Native American wished to live in Peace, Harmony, and Freedom with the European and British settlers to share the blessings of this Nation and Western Hemisphere among all; in return we seek public service announcements from all Community TV access stations, Newspapers and Radio to show the spirit of respect we have toward our Root Peoples of the Western Hemisphere!

WHEREAS:

A major component of the Treaty of Respect will be to advocate for the creation of a new Office, Curator of the Living Museum of the Americas; with Curators in each State, Province and Nation! The Hemispherical Curator is someone who knows and understands the Environments of the Americas, is a Native, and will be able to articulate to young and the not so young the Goodness and the Beauty of the Americas. The Living Museum will have as its Curator someone well-versed with the history and customs of Native Peoples of the Americas; and

WHEREAS:

The United States and other Western Hemisphere Nations initiated reservations to house Native Americans outside the mainstream of this Nation, with consequences of suffering, destruction, and death in great numbers among the indigenous peoples of North and South America; We as honest people understand the Curator, the Banners, the Public service announcements and Hemispherical Holiday Weekend is a most honorable presence for one and all, culturally and socially, and

WHEREAS:

The Cambridge City Council has passed a resolution honoring The Cambridge Sunshine Foundation's work for Native American Causes!

WHEREAS:

The opinion poll conducted by the Cambridge Sunshine Foundation sources report that with more than five thousand people polled only two persons were opposed to this honor of a National/Hemispherical Holiday weekend and Treaty of Respect!

Finally: All true Americans also recognize with deep gratitude the contributions and sacrifices made by Native Americans to preserve the natural resources of this Nation and Hemisphere; now therefore be it

 RESOLVED: That the Treaty of Respect Ad Infinitum is declared a Hemispherical Gift to our Native Root People; to all Children of all races, in this great Hemisphere; be it further

 Volunteers! RESOLVED: That your City/Town Clerk receive suitable e-mails or/and mailed copies of this Proclamation to your Civic Leaderships; please send to major Native American Tribal Leaderships and Dignitaries in the United States, about 50ty; to all Mayors of Capitals in the United States, to all Capital Mayors in all Nations [about twenty five Mayors} in our Western mainland Hemisphere, to all Presidents of those respected Nations {about 25 again}

Lastly, we respectfully ask you to ask your Local Media, Newspapers; Radio Stations, College Radio stations; TV Access and Local TV to place Public Service Announcements on a seasonal basis to regard our local and Hemispherical Root People.

What we ask of ourselves to do, we ask all Mayors in the Hemisphere to do. To do one’s best to restore honor and respect to our Root Peoples and to wisely and simply do our best in making the Treaty of Respect in time come true.

Thank you,

Sincerely, Danny De Gug, President of the Cambridge Sunshine Foundation, CCTV Director and Interviewer; 617-876-4144
