We, the Aboriginal Indigenous peoples registered under the Tribal Aboriginal Indigenous American Indian Nation (TAIAIN), hereby assert our inherent and inalienable rights as the original peoples of North America. We declare that our identity, our sovereignty, and our relationship to this land have never been lawfully extinguished — by conquest, by treaty violation, by colonial legislation, or by any other means.
We make this declaration grounded in truth, in history, and in the ongoing reality of our presence on this land.
Article I
Declaration of Identity
Registered members declare their identity as Aboriginal Indigenous peoples of North America — the Mu'ur peoples, the Mound Builders, the original copper-toned stewards of this continent. This identity is grounded in bloodline and ancestral connection, not colonial-issued documentation.
Article II
Assertion of Inherent Rights
In accordance with the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples (UNDRIP), registered members assert their right to maintain, protect, and develop their cultural heritage, traditional knowledge, and cultural expressions, and their right to maintain, control, protect, and develop their intellectual property over such cultural heritage.
Article III
Land and Territory
Registered members assert that Aboriginal Indigenous peoples hold inherent rights to the lands, territories, and resources which they have traditionally owned, occupied or otherwise used or acquired. These rights have never been lawfully extinguished and are affirmed by the doctrine of Aboriginal title, centuries of treaty law, and UNDRIP.
Article IV
Self-Determination
Registered members affirm the right of Aboriginal Indigenous peoples to self-determination — to freely determine their political status and freely pursue their economic, social, and cultural development in accordance with UNDRIP Article 3.
Article V
Protection from Dispossession
Registered members shall be supported by TAIAIN in documenting and formally asserting their rights in cases of racial violence, land dispossession, forced removal, or any other violation of their rights as Aboriginal Indigenous peoples or as human beings under international law.
Article VI
Community and Solidarity
TAIAIN extends the protection of this Registry and the full weight of its advocacy to all registered members and their immediate families. We stand together — across generations, across tribal lineages, and across the full breadth of the original peoples of this continent.
By entering the TAIAIN Nation Registry, each member declares: "I am Aboriginal Indigenous to this land. My rights have never been extinguished. I stand in my true identity — with honor and with peace — and I call upon TAIAIN, the international community, and all peoples of conscience to recognize and uphold that truth."
The TAIAIN Nation Registry is grounded in the following legal and international frameworks:
