and that would include native americans in the united states. american indians, alaska natives and native hawaiians. this declaration, as i mentioned earlier, was approved by the u.n. in the year 2007. it was endorsed formally by the obama administration in the year 2010. and as i mentioned, today 150 nations around the world have endorsed the declaration. it contains the authentic aspirations of indigenous peoples because indigenous peoples wrote this document and negotiated through the u.n. it took them almost 30 be years to do it -- 30 years to do it, but they did. and if you read this declaration, the 46 articles and the whereas clauses at the gunning of it, you'll see -- at the beginning of it, you'll see that it reflects our native american aspirations, all of the issues and concerns that we have as tribal people, as tribal leaders, as tribal attorneys, law professors. all of our issues are addressed in some shape or tomorrow in this comprehensive declaration. these, therefore, are very comprehensive in nature. they address the full range of native america

native americans including native hawaiians, alaska natives and american indians serve as and have always served as a higher rate in the armed forces than any other group of americans per capita. in every conflict since the revolutionary war, native americans have answered the call to serve and defend our country. i introduced my bill so our nation can recognize native american service and patriotism with a fitting memorial. a memorial to native veterans will make sure future generations learn about the sacrifices native americans have made in service to our nation and it will commemorate their exceptional commitment to the principles of freedom and democracy. last month, congress awarded its highest honor, the congressional gold medal, to the american indians we know as code talkers. these brave men played a critical and for too long unacknowledged role in both world wars. the celebration of our legendary code talkers in emancipation hall at the united states capitol was a historic and proud moment. but it's regrettable that most of the 216 honored did not live to see their heroic contri

in the american model, in order for it to work, you have to say that native americans, indians, are not quite human. and therefore they, like trees in the forest, are legitimate objects of creative destruction. and similarly blacks, african americans, are legitimate objects of exploitation because they are considered to be not fully human. so what you get in this, the evolution of the american national myth, really up through the civil war is the creation of america as a white man's republic in which, different from europe, if you're white, you're all right. you don't have to be an aristocrat born to have a place in the society. you don't absolutely even have to be anglo-saxon, although it helps. but so among whites you can have democracy. but the white democracy depends on the murder, the extermination, the driving out of native americans and the enslavement of blacks. both of those boundaries, the western frontier, the indian frontier, and the slave frontier, are boundaries created and enforced by violence, either literal or latent, potential violence. >> so that's why you wrote somet

and you actually think about the native american nations aligned along the boundary between the colonies and indian country. so i had to bring, i felt to tell this story well i actually had to become a student of native americanism. >> host: when we think of native americans and again the common historical thought that we are often taught is that native americans did not make good slaves. but you do talk about them being enslaved. you do talk about them so is that a myth wax is that a myth and a fallacy? >> guest: we have all sorts of myths about native people and actually if you think about native slavery, there is an enormous. in native people in the colonial america's and the carolinas as one historian has pointed out. the south carolina and north carolina created a two slave trades. it's a trait that enslaved africans being brought into the carolinas in a. in enslaved native people being sold out of the carolinas. into the caribbean and also to canada. new france from the 17th century on in eastern canada have been a healthy and receptive market for native people enslaved in wars throughout the

indians. people at the time of marshall picked the name braves then redskins, associated native americans witha little town called romney, west virginia where there was a famous indian burial mound which had been turned into a confederate cemetery during the civil war. and his grandfather had fought in the battle of romney. so marshall had a kind of quasi romantic notion about the relationship between white southerners like himself and native americans. and he liked the idea of bringing back indians football. this all came together. >> there is a lot of history. i'm not sure a lot of people today who are involved in this debate realize that history. so do you find even among native americans now, and you study this, are split on this issue of what to do with the name of the washington redskins. >> i've not done any formal surveys, but certainly it seems like there is a divide between this, between i think much of it comes down to the question of whether or not the term "redskins" is itself a kind of pejorative term. that has an interesting history. >> it is possible it became pejorative over t
