Description | Stop us if you've heard this one: President Barack Obama wants to return the entire land mass of the United States of America to Native American tribes.
No, nevermind. That one's new.
The wild claim comes by way of the American Family Association (AFA), a conservative non-profit focused on anti-gay initiatives.
They were reacting to a Thursday announcement by President Obama, that the US would sign a non-binding United Nations declaration on the rights of indigenous peoples, which has been endorsed by 145 countries.
The declaration states that "indigenous peoples have the right to the lands, territories and resources which they have traditionally owned, occupied or otherwise used or acquired," and nations "shall give legal recognition and protection to these lands, territories and resources."
This means President Obama "wants Indian tribes to be our new overlords," according to Bryan Fischer, AFA's "director of issue analysis."
"Perhaps he figures that, as an adopted Crow Indian, he will be the new chief over this revived Indian empire," Fischer added.
