The law has always been used as toilet paper by the status quo where American Indians are concerned, writes Ward Churchill in Acts of Rebellion, a collection of his most important writings from the past twenty years. Vocal and incisive, Churchill stands at the forefront of American Indian concerns, from land issues to the American Indian Movement, from government repression to the history of genocide.
Churchill, one of the most respected writers on Native American issues, lends a strong and radical voice to the American Indian cause. Acts of Rebellion shows how the most basic civil rights laws put into place to aid all Americans failed miserably, and continue to fail, when put into practice for our indigenous brothers and sisters.

lost love of my life
I want my words to be as eloquent
As the sound of a rattle snake.
I want my actions to be as direct
As the strike of a rattle snake.
I want the results to be as conclusive
As the bite of a beautiful red and black coral snake.

ACTS OF REBELLION
As ye sow, so shall ye reap.
Galatians, 6:7
ON SEPTEMBER 11, 2001, A DATE NOW AND FOREVER EMBLAZONED IN THE shorthand of popular consciousness as a correlation to the emergency dialing sequence, 9 11, a quick but powerful series of assaults were carried out against the paramount symbols of U.S. global military/economic dominance, the Pentagon and the twin towers of New York's World Trade Center (WTC). About one-fifth of the former structure was left in ruins, the latter in a state of utter obliteration. Some 3,000 U.S. citizens were killed, along with 78 British nationals, come to do business in the WTC, and perhaps 300 other aliens, the majority of them undocumented, assigned to scrub the floors and wash the windows of empire.
In the immediate aftermath, while the identities of the attackers was still to some extent mysterious, a vast wail was emitted by the American body politic, asking in apparent bewilderment, Who are they and why do they hate us?
Bin Laden's message was quite clear:
Reaction among average Americans to revelations of the horror perpetrated in their name has been to all intents and purposes nonexistent. Since it can hardly be argued that the public was uninformed about the genocide in Iraq, its lack of response can only be seen as devolving upon a condition of collective ignorancethat is, of having information but ignoring it because it is considered inconsequentialas profound as it must be intolerable to those whose children lie murdered en masse. How, under these conditions, are the victims to claim the attention necessary to impress upon their tormentors the fact that they, too, count for something, that they are of consequence, that in effect they will no longer accept the lot of being slaughtered, conveniently out of sight and mind or with impunity?
It is all well and good to observe, as others have, that those who struck on 911 should instead have taken their case before the World Court.
The ICJ might nonetheless have entered a ruling. And then? The issue would immediately become one of enforcement. Other countries are thereby left in the position of having to elect between attempting to militarily enforce international law against the world's only remaining superpower or acquiescing in its ever-expanding pattern of gross illegalities.
There is but one route out of this particular box. It traces the trajectory of an obligation inherent in the citizens of each country to do
