In honor of crossing 2,500 signatures, here’s a public comment we love on our petition: “Im signing as a descendant of Chickasaw and Choctaw Freedmen who recognizes and respects tribal sovereignty - part of that sovereignty included tribal decision making to benefit off of 
“the enslavement and labor of African descendants who later became recognized as citizens of the five slave holding tribes with the Treaty of 1866. Afro-Choctaws and Afro-Chickasaws helped build their nations into what they are today and deserve the restoration of their rights as
”fellow citizens. Anti-Blackness should be eradicated whereever it lies. We expect our Native relatives to hold humanity to the high standard we know they are more than capable of by leading the way. Honor all of your relatives not just the ones that look like you or were
“fortunate enough not to be forced out of their heritage by their own nation. Its time to use your power to lead the way of eradicating anti-Black discrimination starting with restoring the rights of Freedmen.”
Keep signing and sharing our petition please! change.org/p/debra-haalan…
