Bloodline-Centered

We center lineage, not phenotype. Our bond is ancestral, not appearance.

Shared Ancestry

We acknowledge our shared ancestry across Black Americans.

Forged Under Pressure

We understand our ethnogenesis as unique, forged under pressure.

Future Emergence

We honor the future emergence of clans, bands, and sister nations.

We walk in humility. This Nation is one among many, not the sole authority.

We seek connection, not competition.

We build bridges, not walls.

We protect our people, our knowledge, and our right to exist fully.

We build for future generations.

With truth, care, and sovereignty.

Access & Records

A Governed Record of Continuity

We proclaim that our sovereignty is inherent, arising from the Creator and from our existence as a people, and was never granted by any foreign government. Such acknowledgment did not create our sovereignty, but stands as evidence of its existence.

The issuance of Special Field Orders No. 15 constituted a formal wartime acknowledgment of land, autonomy, and collective rights held by our people.
