ABOUT THE ANCESTRAL NATION OF TURTLE ISLAND (ANTI)
The Ancestral Nation of Turtle Island (ANTI) is a sovereign Indigenous nation born from the sacred right of lineage, land, and memory. We exist as a collective home for the descendants of the original peoples of Turtle Island—those who were reclassified, displaced, enslaved, or erased under colonial systems and falsely labeled “Negro,” “Colored,” “Black,” “Mulatto,” “Latino,” or other imposed identities.
We are the children of copper-colored nations described by early chroniclers, the keepers of ancestral bloodlines, the descendants of Indigenous peoples taken as prisoners of war, marched into bondage, scattered across the Americas, or mislabeled through paper genocide. Whether from North America, the Caribbean, Central or South America, or diasporic communities disconnected by colonization, we stand united in reclamation.
ANTI is not asking for recognition — we are stepping back into it.
Our foundation is rooted in:
✅ Lineage over labels
✅ Ancestral sovereignty over colonial classification
✅ Indigenous governance over imposed systems
✅ Unity of dispersed tribal descendants
✅ Return to cultural, spiritual, and territorial identity
We honor the oral histories, family bloodlines, and generational testimonies that survived despite forced erasure. We exist to rebuild what was stolen: identity, nationhood, governance, security, land stewardship, and intertribal solidarity.
As a living nation, we:
🛡 Advocate for Indigenous people of erased and mixed heritage to reclaim their rightful place as original peoples
📜 Develop sovereign law, governance systems, and national identification frameworks
🔥 Restore cultural knowledge, language, spirituality, and ceremonial continuity
🏞 Build community defense, mutual aid, and self-determined resource networks
🌎 Engage in international diplomacy and human rights recognition for reclassified Indigenous people
👣 Create pathways for generations to walk home in dignity and truth
We are not the beginning—we are the continuation.
Our nation stands as a declaration that we never disappeared; we were renamed.
Now, we reclaim our identity, restore our sovereignty, and return in full presence.
🌿 Ancestral Nation of Turtle Island
Lineage. Sovereignty. Return.
Mission Statement
