    UNITED NATIONS DECLARATION ON THE RIGHTS OF INDIGENOUS PEOPLES (UNDRIP)

    What It Means For Taino Moor Tribe

     

    1. What is UNDRIP?

    The United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples (UNDRIP) is an international human rights instrument adopted by the UN General Assembly on September 13, 2007. It sets out the minimum standards for the survival, dignity, and well-being of Indigenous peoples worldwide.

    UNDRIP & Taino Moor Tribe

    ​

    How We Apply the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples

    The United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples (UNDRIP) was adopted on September 13, 2007. It sets minimum standards for the survival, dignity, and well-being of Indigenous peoples around the world.

    For Taino Moor Tribe, UNDRIP is more than just a UN document – it is an international shield and guiding standardthat we actively use to frame our work, our identity, and our protections as Aboriginal Indigenous people of the Americas.

    1. Our Standing Under UNDRIP

    As Taino / Moorish Aboriginal Indigenous people, we affirm that:

    • We existed as a people and nation long before today’s corporate “states.”

    • We have collective rights as a people, not just individual civil rights.

    • We have the inherent right to self-identify, self-govern, self-educate, and self-determine our political, social, economic, and cultural life.

    In our proclamations, trusts, and tribal records, we explicitly anchor our status in the principles of UNDRIP. When we speak of our nationality, our tribal governance, and our connection to the land, we do so as a people whose rights are recognized in international law, not merely as “minorities” inside a domestic system.

    2. How We Are Applying--                         UNDRIP Right Now

    ​

    A. Identity & Self-Determination

    We use UNDRIP to affirm that:

    • We have the right to define ourselves as Taino Moor Tribe and not as “Negro,” “Black,” “African American,” or any other colonial label.

    • We have the right to organize our own tribal government, councils, and trusts, consistent with our customs and spiritual law.

    • We have the right to freely pursue our own economic, social, and cultural development as a Nation within Amexem/the Americas.

    In practice, this means our trust documents, corporate filings, and tribal proclamations reference UNDRIP when we speak about our political status and Indigenous identity.

    B. Land, Territories, and Resources

    UNDRIP recognizes Indigenous rights to the lands, territories, and resources traditionally owned, occupied, or usedby Indigenous peoples.

    We apply this by:

    • Referencing UNDRIP when we speak about our historic relationship to the land, our temples, villages, and community projects.

    • Using its language on free, prior, and informed consent (FPIC) when we object to actions, policies, or developments that affect our people, our land, or our sacred sites.

    • Invoking its standards when we develop land-based trusts, agricultural projects, villages, and tribal housing for our people.

    C. Culture, Language, and Spiritual Life

    UNDRIP protects the right of Indigenous peoples to maintain and revitalize their cultures, ceremonies, languages, and spiritual traditions.

    We apply this by:

    • Teaching Taino / Moorish history, ceremonies, and principles as part of our tribal education and Holy Friday teachings.

    • Protecting our symbols, flags, rituals, and sacred knowledge as part of our collective intellectual and spiritual inheritance.

    • Building programs, schools, and media that reflect our own worldview, not just colonial curricula.

    D. Governance, Law, and Institutions

    UNDRIP recognizes the right of Indigenous peoples to maintain and strengthen their own political, legal, economic, social, and cultural institutions.

    We use this to:

    • Support our tribal councils, trusts, and temple governance as legitimate Indigenous institutions.

    • Assert that our internal affairs, customs, and dispute-resolution methods must be respected.

    • Participate with outside governments and agencies on our own terms, as a distinct people, while still accessing services and protections available to all.

    3. How We Use UNDRIP in Our--      Daily Work

    In Declarations, Trusts, and Tribal Documents

    We cite UNDRIP as an international standard whenever we:

    • Issue Tribal Proclamations and Affidavits of Status

    • Establish trusts, corporations, and land projects in the name of Taino Moor Tribe

    • Object to actions that violate our Indigenous rights, identity, or spiritual law

    UNDRIP becomes part of the foundation and language of our paperwork, showing that our position is aligned with global human-rights norms.

    In Communication with Governments & Agencies

    When we correspond with local, state, federal, or international bodies, we:

    • Refer to relevant articles of UNDRIP on self-determination, land, culture, and FPIC.

    • Frame our concerns and objections as violations of recognized international Indigenous standards, not just “personal opinions.”

    In Education and Nation-Building

    Within the Tribe, we:

    • Teach UNDRIP to elders, youth, and members so they know what rights they carry as Indigenous people.

    • Use UNDRIP as a curriculum anchor for nation-building, leadership training, and community development.

    • Align our schools, holistic healing centers, agricultural projects, and economic plans with its principles of dignity, non-discrimination, and self-determination.

    4. Our Ongoing Commitment to UNDRIP

    Going forward, Taino Moor Tribe will continue to:

    • Invoke UNDRIP in future trusts, filings, objections, and correspondence as an international shield for our people.

    • Use UNDRIP’s standards of free, prior, and informed consent whenever governments, corporations, or agencies attempt to take actions that affect our land, our people, or our way of life.

    • Build institutions, programs, and agreements that reflect UNDRIP’s vision of Indigenous peoples as self-governing, dignified, and equal on the world stage.

    UNDRIP is one of the documents we stand on to say:

    We are still here. We are Indigenous.
    We have inherent rights that no statute, policy, or agency can erase.
