HR 1851C
THE "PIPESTONE PROTECTION BILL"
To adopt a law which prevents any and all exploitation and use of the Nakota and Indigenous Red "Indian" Nation's sacred "Ih e Duta" (English translation "Pipestone"), the spiritual, Sacred Red Stone which makes up the stone, rock "bowl" portion of the Sacred Canunpa (misnomer "peace pipe") of the Nakota Nation, for anything other than its intended use, and to prevent non-Indigenous, non-"Indian" peoples from harvesting and possessing the sacred Indigenous Red Stone known as "Pipestone".
Be it enacted by the United States Congress;
SECTION 1. PURPOSES
The purposes of this act are to - -
(1) adopt a law which prevents any and all exploitation and use of the Nakota and Indigenous Red "Indian" Nation's sacred "Ih e Duta" (English translation "Pipestone"), the spiritual, Sacred Red Stone which makes up the stone, rock "bowl" portion of the Sacred Canunpa (misnomer "peace pipe") of the Nakota Nation, for anything other than its original intended use.
(2) prevent non-Indigenous, non-"Indian" peoples from harvesting and possessing the sacred Indigenous Red Stone known as "Pipestone."
(3) develop and enhance positive relationships between the United States and Indigenous Red "Indian" Nations and Peoples with respect to inherent Indigenous spirituality ie; Religious Rights and Freedoms, as regards to spiritual implements and articles and items concerning.
SECTION 2. STATEMENT OF CONGRESS
(a) The congress recognizes that the territories currently referred to as the "United States of America" are the Indigenous aboriginal homelands of Indigenous Red Nations and Peoples who, despite diminished numbers, continue to remain a living, breathing people upon Great Turtle Island, the "western hemisphere".
(b) The congress recognizes that since the year 1776, the United States has often violated the rights of Indigenous Red Peoples and failed to honor both legal and moral laws and that this practice must cease; American's should not feel guilty but should instead live up to their own laws and do what is morally and legally responsible and correct.
(c) The congress recognizes that the sacred Nakota "Canunpa" (misnomer "peace pipe" or "pipe") is made out of wood and also from a small piece of the "Ih e' Duta" Sacred Red Stone, a.k.a. "pipestone", which is harvested only upon Ihanktunwan DaNakota Homelands, the area which is today known as "Pipestone, Minnesota."
(d) The congress recognizes that this most Sacred Red Stone is in very limited supply and found only in this one single place in all the world, although there is a misconception that the stone is also found in Asia.
(e) The congress recognizes that the Sacred Red Stone of the Canunpa is in danger of extinction by greed and mining by the u.s. government and a few of its citizenry. It is against Nakota Natural Law, for example, to use a constructed Canunpa just to hang over a "mantle" or other type of "display" purpose, or to make "jewelry" or other "trinkets" out of the special and Sacred Red Stone
(f) The congress recognizes that this rare, sacred rock was gifted through dream vision to the Nakota People and is solely for the purpose of constructing the sacred Canunpa only, which directs the Seven Sacred Canunpa Ceremonies (sometimes referred to as the Seven Sacred Rites).
(g) The congress recognizes that the Canunpa is only to be cared for by a very few qualified Nakota and Indigenous caretakers, who are selected by their communities and who must conduct each of the Seven Sacred Canunpa Ceremonies within their communities throughout the year a most difficult, time-consuming, and dedicated duty.
(h) The congress respects and recognizes that the Seven Sacred Canunpa Ceremonies come directly from a spiritual dream vision of a Nakota person many millions of years ago. The ceremonies were received and are conducted in order to maintain balance and happiness within Indigenous Nakota communities through a series of "thanksgiving /appreciation" ceremonial exercises; that what the Canunpa represents, male and female balance, is evident once the bowl and stem are placed together (contrary to male-dominating religious misconceptions creating imbalance and denying Grand Mother Earth and respect for nature, land and resources).
(i) The congress recognizes that exploitation through excessive mining and mass production for purposes of selling, trinket-making and all forms of "jewelry-making" of the Sacred Red Stone be immediately stopped and prevented.
(j) The congress recognizes that it is necessary to adopt a law as to above and that exploitation and use of the Canunpa for anything other than its original intended use be against the law.
SECTION 3. DEFINITIONS
For the purposes of this act:
(1) The term "Indigenous Person" replaces the misnomers "Native American" and "American Indian".
(2) The term "THE PIPESTONE PROTECTION BILL" shall refer to the bill prohibiting possession, use or exploitation by anyone other than Indigenous Red "Indian" Peoples.
TITLE 1 THE "PIPESTONE PROTECTION BILL"
SEC. 101. SHORT TITLE.
This title may be cited as the THE "PIPESTONE PROTECTION BILL".
SEC. 102. FINDINGS.
The congress finds the following:
(1) The congress recognizes that exploitation through excessive mining and mass production for purposes of selling, trinket-making and all forms of "jewelry-making" of the Sacred Red Stone be immediately stopped and prevented.

Whereas, the sacred Nakota "Canunpa" (misnomer "peace pipe" or "pipe") is made out of wood and also from a small piece of the "Ih e' Duta" Sacred Red Stone, a.k.a. "pipestone", which is harvested only upon Ihanktunwan DaNakota Homelands, the area which is today known as "Pipestone, Minnesota" and

Whereas, the Sacred Red Stone of the Canunpa is in danger of extinction by greed and mining by the u.s. government and a few of its citizenry. It is against Nakota Natural Law, for example, to use a constructed Canunpa just to hang over a "mantle" or other type of "display" purpose, or to make "jewelry" or other "trinkets" out of the special and Sacred Red Stone, and
Whereas, this rare, sacred rock was gifted to the Nakota People and is solely for the purpose of constructing the sacred Canunpa only, which directs the Seven Sacred Canunpa Ceremonies (sometimes referred to as the Seven Sacred Rites), and
Whereas, the Canunpa is only to be cared for by a very few qualified Nakota and Indigenous caretakers, who are selected by their communities and who must conduct each of the Seven Sacred Canunpa Ceremonies within their communities throughout the year a most difficult, time-consuming, and dedicated duty, and

The ceremonies were received and are conducted in order to maintain balance and happiness within Indigenous Nakota communities through a series of "thanksgiving /appreciation" ceremonial exercises.
Therefore be it resolved that exploitation through excessive mining and mass production for purposes of selling, trinket-making and all forms of "jewelry-making" of the Sacred Red Stone be immediately stopped and prevented, and
Be it finally resolved that we demand congress adopt a pertinent law as to above and that exploitation and use of the Canunpa for anything other than its intended use be outlawed by the u.s. government.
