:Nyan-ko-pong: :Maroon: Constitution. Introduction

About

Desiring of promoting and protecting universally recognized human rights and fundamental political freedoms, the :Nyan-ko-pong Sovereign Maroon Global Tribal Nation Territories, Natives of Atlantis Xaymaca, North America wishes to exercise its Indigenous autonomy as is its God given right so expressed in the United Nation General Assemblys' adoption of the 2007 United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples.

Recalling, that "All peoples have the right of self-determination. By virtue of that right they freely determine their political status and freely pursue their economic, social and cultural development, without outside interference." This right is embodied in Article I of the Charter of the United Nations. Its inclusion in the United Nations Charter marks the universal recognition of the principle as fundamental to the maintenance of friendly relations and peace among states. It is recognized as a right of all peoples in the General Assembly Resolution 1514 Declaration on the Granting of Independence to Colonial Countries and Peoples, (1960) article 2; Article 1 of the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights and the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights which both entered into force in 1976. It is also included in the Declaration of Principles of International Law Concerning Friendly Relations and Co-operation Among States adopted by the UN General Assembly in 1970, the Helsinki Final Act adopted by the Conference on Security and Co-operation in Europe (CSCE) in 1975, the African Charter of Human and Peoples' Rights of 1981, the CSCE Charter of Paris for a New Europe adopted in 1990, the Vienna Declaration and Programme of Action of 1993; and the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples (2007), article 3; and by virtue of these international rights, we as :Nyan-ko-pong: Maroons can freely choose our political status.

Convinced that control by indigenous peoples over developments affecting them and their lands, territories and resources will enable them to maintain and strengthen their institutions, cultures and traditions, and to promote their development in accordance with their aspirations and needs,

Recognizing that respect for indigenous knowledge, cultures and traditional practices contributes to sustainable and equitable development and proper management of the environment. Emphasizing the contribution of the demilitarization of the lands and territories of indigenous peoples to peace, economic and social progress and development, understanding and friendly relations among nations and peoples of the world

Recognizing that a global financial meltdown has led to an overall vote of "No Confidence" in the Jesuit political system of things, and that the International Right to Human Development cannot be denied, nor our right to collective security and our right to International Political Unity amongst our Maroon peoples globally.

Recognizing that the word 'Africa' was first used by the Romans to describe that part of the Carthaginian Empire which lies in present day Tunisia. When the Romans conquered Carthage in the second century BCE, giving them jurisdiction over most of what is now called North Africa, they divided "North Africa" into multiple provinces, amongst these there were Africa Pronconsularis (northern Tunisia) and Africa Nova (much of present-day Algeria, also called Numidia).1 As such it was not a name the indigenous people of the land gave themselves.

Recognizing that the oldest and the only word of indigenous origin for the continent called Africa today was Alkebulan meaning "mother of mankind" or "garden of Eden". It was used by the Moors, Nubians, Numidians, Khart-Haddans (Carthagenians), and Ethiopians."2

Recognizing that the term "Black" has been used to mislabel people of Alkebulan descent and was created in the 1620s' in America to mean "dark-skinned person, African" and is not a name we created for ourselves. 3

Background

The :Nyan-ko-pong: Sovereign Maroon People solemnly proclaim their attachment to the principles of being free peoples with national sovereignty as exampled by the conditions which lead to the signing of the Articles of Pacification with the Maroons of Trelawney Town, Concluded March the first, 1738; The Windward Treaty, Colonial Office 137/56 June 30, 1739, and Land Patent to Nanny, 1740 Patents Vol. 22. Folio 15 B. 20th April 1741. Where it is clear that we the Maroon people were free peoples who signed a treaty with the British to bring peace and end the long war which destabilized the British colonizers. Not because we were in a position of weakness but because we were in a position of strength, lead by our Great Queen Nanny, who was our primary General, Leader and Obeah woman. A leader so powerful they have tried to leave her out of HisStory, but who is captured in OurStory and in Colonial records in different ways.

Knowing that we the maroon people were a threat to the Colonial system as peoples who had always been free, and even when captured and enslaved fought for our liberty. People who had refused to be colonized. As such the British colonizers negotiated with our ancestors in order to bring peace. And that these treaties written in a foreign tongue which was not clearly understood by our Maroon Ancestors who signed with an X, gave a symbol of giving some authority to the British which was not intended, similar to many treaties these Colonialist signed with other Maroon and indigenous people globally in foreign languages not comprehended by their treaty holders, in an attempt to fraudulently steal indigenous peoples' lands and territories and give themselves false authority over these peoples.

As free people the :Nyan-ko-pong: Sovereign Maroon Global Tribal Nation Territories, Natives of Atlantis Xaymaca, North America, otherwise called Jamaica by the colonizers did not bow to any colonial authority. Article 11 of the Windward Maroon Treaty of 1739 provided for the protection for the Maroons if a white man [Caucasian) or other inhabitant of the island should "disturb or annoy" any of the People, Hogs, Stock or Whatsoever Goods" that belonged to the Maroons. This right to protection of their property validates the fact that the Maroons were indeed people with rights, [even in the eyes of the Colonizer], and in so doing , they were cut off from the rest of the Jamaican Black population" who were mostly enslaved. (Gottlieb, Karla. A History of Queen Nanny… The Mother of Us All.") From these documents it is clear the British tried to enforce what Gottlieb calls "psychological control" by pretending to want control of our peoples' economics, how and what Maroons sold, but our Maroon peoples brought our wares to town and sold them as we pleased. Article 14 , again tried to delineate the succession of our rulers in Moore Town, but we Maroons in the end always chose our own rulers as is our tradition;


There is no evidence of any treaty being signed with Queen Nanny, who was our primary General, and her authority is reflected in the Land Patent to Nanny 1740, where she is given land similar to a Caucasian person of the time. We overstand her strategy to have lower chiefs negotiate and the colonizers strategy to try and empower underlings in an attempt to circumvent the real leader who happened to be an uncompromising woman who did not trust them. We do not accept any part of these treaties which attempt to subjugate us, including the alleged Repeal of the 1739 Maroon Treaties and other "treaties" which addressed we the Maroons (1739, 1740, 1741, 1758, 1769, 1791, 1796, 1798, 1805, 1809 and 1832) through the Colonizers 1842 Law. What that "repealing" shows is a consistent pattern by the Colonizers to steal land that was ours and claim it as theirs by leaving a paper trail of HisStory. As such places of significance for Maroons, our towns and villages, are not what the Colonizers flawed records show but in fact where OurStory shows our people lived and still occupy. Many of these names changed by the Colonizers to erase OurStory. We were here before the Colonizers and this is our land. As such we claim the entire land of Xaymaca, Atlantis (aka Jamaica) as that of our Ancestors who were free people who came to the now named Caribbean of free will and as explorers before and during the Mali Empire of Mansa Musa, and other Ethiopian (African) tribes and kingdoms, who mixed with those brought through enslavement, and who did not lose their identity as a people because the uncivilized Colonizers decided to consider them as property to assuage their conscience as they brutalized them. Part of OurStory is captured in the book "Insurrectional Resistance of the Garifuna Revolution: The Chosen Ones of Yourumein" by Andolini Castillo Perez. Colonizers colonial records clearly show they knew who were as people and had to deal with us as such. So in a colonized world of many colonizers languages we are known by many names.


Our current state of colonization was cemented with the trickery of false Independence in 1962, and the current state of the Jamaican Government being controlled by the Queen of England, Governor General; and the current two party system which has denigrated a sovereign people into citizens whose birth papers are sold on the stock exchange and now identify with the two corrupt political parties in Jamaica rather than as sovereign people. Tricked by the Colonizers into indefinite servitude while our lands and resources are raped and our people subjected to gross injustices, poor living conditions and abject poverty while thinking they are independent.

This our Constitution re-revised on August 6, 2021 and previously amended with aims to reclaim that which is ours, Our Story. Confirmed and complemented by the Preamble to the Constitution of 2020.

Preamble

The :Nyan-ko-pong: Global Royal Government shall be established under the principles of love, truth, peace, freedom and unity that was laid down by Queen Nanny, King Kojo, King Tufton Lewis, General Bookman and many more powerful spiritual Maroon leaders and wise ancestors.

These principles were infiltrated by the Colonial Government, and 78 percent of our historical books, artifacts, spiritual and physical symbols were destroyed and burned under the orders of the Pope of Rome, the Colonial oppressors and the British Crown. Their attempt to destroy our physical and spiritual power as the true Israelites, Alkebu-lan, Egyptians, Atlantians, Ethiopians, Nubians and the mother and father for the tribe of David otherwise known as "Earthlings". We are the first people to interact with other beings from other planets and we are the first people to go in and out of the Bermuda Triangle; other than Haile Selassie I the Emperor for the Ethiopian Maroons and the King of Kings and the Lord of Lords and the Conquering Lion from the Tribe of Judah.

We the :Nyan-ko-pong: Ashanti Maroons were always called the Light of the Universe and the first tribe to bring forth giants from the womb of our mothers until the food poisoning, birth control, poisonous vaccination and medical interference from the Colonial Government interfered with our physical growth and development of our people. The main aim of the Colonial Government was to destroyed our memory of our ancestor so that the present, younger and future generations, would wander hopelessly; but they were unsuccessful and we are here again, more big and more powerful than our ancestors, to unite all Maroon tribes globally. This includes Maroons in what is now called the Caribbean islands; North, Central and South America; the continent of Africa, Asia, the peninsula called Europe, Australia, New Zealand, the Hawaiian Islands etc.


One of the highest aims of the :Nyan-ko-pong: Global Royal Government is to maintain and spread peace and love throughout all nations and honor the pledge that our ancestors have made to beings from other planets, such as the Anunnaki, Grays, Reptilians, Nordic, etc., once they maintain their side of the treaty.
