Description
This three-page typed Address on Decolonization was presented by the International Indian Treaty Council to the United Nations Human Rights Commission in March, 1980. It states that the declaration on the Granting of Independence to Colonial Countries and Peoples, adopted by the UN General Assembly in 1960, has not been applied to the Indian peoples oppressed by the United States of America. It lists various ways Indians have been victimized by the US government and provides recommended actions to the United Nations including an investigation of genocidal policies and an examination of the treaties made between the US government and Indian nations.
