Hi all,
I was just thinking to myself the other day about Native Americans and had wondered if there was such a thing as a “NAACP for the Indian people”?
The other question I had (yes or no, please) was, if the NAACP had any kind of presence with the U.N.? Thanks in advance.
The first organization that comes to mind is the American Indian Movement (AIM), though I believe they are rather more radical than the NAACP.
There’s an organisation called UNPO, the Unrepresented Nations & Peoples Organisation, and I think they even have observer status at the United Nations.
Native Americans are members of the organisation (there’s a flag representing the Lakota Nation).
UNPO has a nice website that you can visit. Given the opportunity the world could have a lot of new nations, but until then UNPO gives them a voice.
