The indigenous knowledge of Native American peoples must be
acknowledged as unalienable property.

Proposal #3

All sacred geography must be returned to Native Americans.

Proposal #4

Reparations must be paid for the appropriation and destruction
of Native American lives, land, and indigenous knowledge.
