You were Already Here! Indigenous Peoples, Paper Genocide, and the Road Back to Sovereignty.

Roadmap to Reclamation, link here to the book: https://a.co/d/0clWH8Vu We Were Already Here: Black Indigenous Peoples, Paper Genocide, and the Road Back to Sovereignty This episode challenges the dominant narrative about the Americas and explores the history of Black Indigenous peoples whose nations, land, and identities were systematically erased through colonization and administrative reclassification. We examine how thriving Indigenous societies—with cities, governance systems, trade networks, and established land stewardship—existed long before European arrival. When physical removal and violence failed to eliminate Indigenous presence, colonial systems shifted to a different strategy: paper genocide. Through forced racial reclassification and administrative erasure, entire nations were stripped of treaty protections, land claims, and sovereign recognition. The episode connects historical land dispossession to present-day identity confusion and legal marginalization, explaining how identity changed on paper while the people remained rooted in place. It then introduces Roadmap to Reclamation by Mark Anthony Perkins, a practical manual outlining lawful pathways for Indigenous peoples to reclaim identity, establish governance, document ancestral land claims, and assert sovereignty outside colonial recognition systems. The book bridges genealogy, international law, and nationhood into a usable framework for families and communities seeking restoration—not revenge, but repair. This podcast is not about rewriting history for controversy. It is about restoring suppressed memory, confronting administrative erasure, and exploring lawful, non-violent nation-to-nation advocacy rooted in continuity, documentation, and sovereignty. At its core, this episode asks one central question: If a people were never truly gone—only relabeled—what does reclamation look like today?
