PAPER GENOCIDE: THE LEGAL ERASURE OF INDIGENOUS PEOPLE

This book is written for those who seek the truth—not only about history but about how identity, law, and power intersect to shape our lives today. Whether you are a descendant of those reclassified, an advocate for justice, a legal scholar, or a curious student, this book invites you to question what you’ve been taught about race, rights, and recognition in America.The term paper genocide is not metaphor—it is a documented legal reality with generational consequences. It is about the loss of not just legal status, but of community, ancestry, and belonging. My hope is that by engaging with these stories, laws, and legacies, you will come away with not only deeper knowledge, but a renewed sense of responsibility.May this work honor the ancestors who were mislabeled, misclassified, and made invisible—and may it light a path forward for those reclaiming what was taken.— R.
