Native American Historical Breakthrough!

HISTORICAL BREAKTHROUGH FOR NATIVE AMERICAN

On August 2, 2012, Navajo born Emerson Joe who changed his name to Nii’ Nee’ when he was adopted by the Lakota Nation, stood before Judge Sheryl Bachart in the Circuit Court of Newport, Oregon for sentencing on a DUI charge. The DUI charge was the last of 4 out of 5 charges for which Emerson Joe was arrested and incarcerated, the most serious of which was a felony: possession of a stolen vehicle. The DUI charge turned out to be small pickin’s compared to the most significant issue in the trial: Providing false information to a police officer, which was in fact his Lakota Sovereign Independent Nation issued driver’s license. In his trial, the jury acquitted him of the false information charge, that is, his Lakota driver’s license, thus recognizing the Sovereignty of the Lakota Nation. The ID considered “false” was a legitimate driver’s license issued by the Lakota Sovereign Independent Free Nation which until this trial bore no legitimacy in an American court of law. The jury’s acquittal of this charge in this case sets the precedent that the Lakota Nation’s sovereign independence is now legally recognized and accepted as valid ID in a court of law. The United Nations recognized the Lakota’s sovereign independence but the United States did not. This is a historical breakthrough for Native people!

 Emerson Joe stood trial for the entire proceeding pro se, meaning without representation by a lawyer – another feather for his people. He walked the Red Road alone earning himself the highest rank of Braveheart among the Lakota Nation, and LEGENDARY among the legal circles of Newport, Oregon. Emerson Joe did his walk on fire before an all white court of law solely from the information gleaned from the book Lust for Justice: The Radical Life and Law of J. Tony Serra by author/artist Paulette Frankl. Serra is acclaimed one of the greatest criminal defense lawyers of the century. Emerson Joe studied the book like a textbook until he felt confident he could do this alone.

 National Geographic ran a cover story on the Lakota’s sovereign independence in the August 2012 issue.

 It is now Emerson Joe’s goal to establish independence for all the Native Nations to at last be free and out from under the unfair rule and treatment that they have received from the white man’s conquest and broken treaties for centuries.

 Emerson Joe is serving out the remainder of his 6 month sentence in the Lincoln County Jail in Newport, Oregon.

The POWER of Lust

Pass it on!


FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Last Friday, July 27, 2012, as all attention was focused on the Olympics, a Native American warrior, Emerson Joe, made history representing himself in a jury trial in an all white court in Newport, Oregon on the basis of information gleaned from the book titled Lust for Justice: The Radical Life and Law of J. Tony Serra by author/artistPaulette Frankl. Emerson Joe stood trial  on charges ranging from felony (grand theft auto) to misdemeanor. The jury acquitted him of the most serious of four of the five charges, leaving one misdemeanor. His bail was reduced from $100,000 to $1,500 as a result of the verdict. 

Emerson Joe, from the Pinon reservation in AZ near Gallup NM, had no background in the law. He fired his two court appointed lawyers whom he felt did not understand Native people. He studied Lust for Justice as though it were a text book and gleaned enough information to go it alone in court. He applied the information in court and prevailed in his case. In the "Closing Arguments" chapter, Serra states: "Pretend that you're on horseback -- that is, don't use too many words, but deliver your words like arrows or spears. Always speak like you're on the back of a horse." After the verdict, Emerson Joe said, "Tell Tony Serra I used my words like arrows in court and they hit the mark."

Lust for Justice is a biography of San Francisco-based counter-culture lawyer Tony Serra, acclaimed as one of the ten top criminal defense lawyers of the century. The biography, published in late November 2010 by Lightning Rod Publications, is a behind-the-scenes look at the law through the eyes of one of its greatest practitioners. Serra won acquittals in two Native American death-penalty cases for Patrick "Hooty" Croy and Bear Lincoln.

Emerson Joe, from the Navajo Nation, recently joined the Lakota Nation's sovereign independence from America. The stance of sovereign independence in the Lakota Nation, known for the Wounded Knee massacre, has been recognized by the United Nations. Emerson Joe adopted his childhood nickname of Nii' Nee' on his new Lakota ID records. It appears to be the first case involving a full-blooded Navajo who has changed over to the Lakota Nation to successfully represent himself in an all-white court of law.

Joe is being held at the Lincoln County Jail in Newport, Oregon, until his 11:30 AM, August 2 sentencing hearing on the misdemeanor charge at the Newport County Courthouse before Judge Sheryl Bachart,  Room 300.
