SAN FRANCISCO -- The Native American Community, with support from the Occupy Movement is taking action to demand President Obama to make law the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples (UNDRIP), to STOP the Home Foreclosures and to enforce a 30% Fair-Share Tax on millionaires. United Native Americans Inc. invites members of the press and community to join in
the Indigenous Unity March to the United Nations Plaza where we will present an Indigenous Rights March and Forum, Friday, January 27, 2012.

The Unity March and Rally begins at the Human Rights Commission, 25 Van Ness Avenue, San Francisco, to the United Nations Plaza. The Indigenous Forum at the UN Plaza echoes the world's support to recognize and protect all Indigenous communities and also demands reparations for the theft of Tribal Lands, ancestral remains, gold and other natural resources. Speakers to address unity to bring an end to civil rights violations, hate crimes, broken treaties, racial profiling laws like SB1070, the
desecration of our sacred sites and burial sites, as well as protecting ethnic studies and our traditional cultural teaching.

March rout in solidarity of the millions of families victim of home foreclosures targeting Bank of America, Wells Fargo and Chase Bank to STOP The Home Foreclosures and Echo the 30% millionaires fair-share tax addressed by Obama in the State of the Union to save homes and fund education and to keep promise of executive order, titled, “Improving American Indian and Alaska Native Education Opportunities and Strengthening Tribal Colleges and Universities.”

We are DEMANDING that President Obama recognize and sign into Federal Law, the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous People protecting Sacred Sites and Repatriation for stolen ancestral remains and resources.

We are  DEMANDING that Governor Jerry Brown sign into California Law, the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous People, making California the first state in the Union to adopt the UNDRIP.

We DEMANDING  tha Obama pass the 30% FAIR-SHARE TAX ON MILLIONAIRS to fix broken economy and keep his promise of Improving American Indian and Alaska Native Education Opportunities and Strengthening Tribal Colleges and Universities.

We are DEMANDING that ALL treaties made with the Indigenous Peoples of the World be Recognized and Honored.
