WASHINGTON, Feb. 22 /U.S. Newswire/ -- A federal court in Georgia has enjoined Derrick Sanders, of Atlanta, from promoting a tax-fraud scheme involving false claims that his customers were members of a fictitious tribal organization-the so-called Yamassee Native American Tribe-and further that his clients were exempt from federal income tax. Native Americans living in the United States generally are not exempt from federal income tax, and the court found that Sanders is or should be aware that the Yamassee Native Americans are not recognized as an Indian tribe by the federal government. Sanders is required to post a copy of the court's order on the website where he promotes the scheme. The order also requires Sanders to give the Justice Department a list with his customers' names, mailing and e-mail addresses, and telephone and Social Security numbers.


According to the court, Sanders, in promoting the scheme, repeatedly made false statements that so-called Yamassee Native Americans are an indigenous Native American tribe whose members are nonresident aliens exempt from federal income taxation. Sanders also prepared forms for customers to use to instruct their employers to stop withholding taxes from their wages on the bogus ground that Yamassee members are not subject to federal income taxes.


"People who peddle tax scams and those who participate in them cheat all law-abiding taxpayers," said Eileen J. O'Connor, Assistant Attorney General for the Justice Department's Tax Division. "The Department of Justice and the Internal Revenue Service are working diligently to stop the promotion of fraudulent tax schemes."


This injunction suit is part of an effort to stop the promotion of tax scams and the preparation and filing of fraudulent tax returns. The Justice Department has obtained injunctions against more than 130 promoters since 2001. More information about these cases is available at http://www.usdoj.gov/tax/taxpress2006.htm. More information about the Tax Division is available at http://www.usdoj.gov/tax/index.html.

Sanders also calls himself Chief Blackhawk, leader of the "Mt Arafat Embassy Clan". So now clans are also embassies? And he's confusing his Biblical stuff. It's Mt Ararat, with two Rs, not Arafat as in the PLO leader.

The "real Yamassee" don't want anything to do wtih Sanders. They claim Sanders and others are part of some conspiracy to make them look bad.

"From: The Yamassee Native American Moors of the Creek Nation, U.N.N.M., B.I.A. 208/1999
Re: Rebuttal to recent articles concerning Nuwaubians
....we have heard of this group and they call themselves Mt. Arafat and their leader is Derrick H. Sanders-El or Chief Latif. They are not registered members of the Yamassee Native American Moors of the Creek Nation whose chief is Malachi Z. York or Maku “Chief???: Black Thunderbird “Eagle???, who still maintains his innocence. Michael Jenkins is not an officer of the Yamassee Native American Moors of the Creek Nation, U.N.N.M., B.I.A. 208/1999, and Kevin Love is not a member of our tribe. Michael Jenkins is an officer of Mt. Arafat. We do not recognize this group and do not agree with their tactics. The Yamassee Native American Moors of the Creek Nation, U.N.N.M., B.I.A. 208/1999 follow the law. Mt. Arafat is a group of disgruntled people who left the Nuwaubian organization to form their own group. They are not followers of our chief, Maku “Chief???: Black Thunderbird “Eagle???, also known as Malachi Z. York. Like afore mentioned, they follow Derrick H. Sanders-El.
We, the REAL Yamassee Native American Moors of the Creek Nation, U.N.N.M., B.I.A. 208/1999 agree with Susan Sports, and have legal driver’s licenses and legal license plates. We do not recognize Michael Jenkins or Kevin Love as members of our tribe.
....It seems that those who oppose us are claiming to be us when they get in trouble with the law. It is not a coincidence. But we assure you that these people are not affiliated with our tribe in any way....
We apologize for the confusion and for the actions of those impersonating our tribe. Please disregard any further contact with these groups. In our family guidebook titled: The Holy Tabernacle Family Guide, inscribed by Malachi Z. York, it states on page 39-40:
“Pledge no loyalty to any other country or government other than the United States of America, if you are an American. If you are in America from another country, follow our laws while here. … You should have a passport, driver’s license, social security card, and you should have a proper identification card on you at all times. … Pay your taxes. Don’t let your religious beliefs; whatever they may be cause you to disobey the laws of America. Do not commit crimes or permit crime in your presence.
Members of the Yamassee Native American Moors of the Creek Nation, U.N.N.M., B.I.A. 208/1999 abide by this book, therefore, members of Mt. Arafat could not possibly be affiliated with our tribe because they do not follow our family guide. Again, Derrick Sanders-El, Michael Jenkins and Kevin Love, are not Nuwaupians."

This is Sanders' bunch's website. Not much on it yet but some pretty mangled history and lofty claims. Gotta love all the pseudo-Arabic titles.

"The Treaty of Atlaan and Amexem And The Working Yamassee Native American Government Dr. Derrick Sanders El (Chief Black-Hawk) drafted the historic Treaty of Atlaan and Amexem with the assistance of The Elders and staff of Mt 'Arafat Embassy Clan. (pronounced in Yamassic: Mund barufat Shagruth Gabelu.) Set forth in this treaty are the framework for a constitutional government and operational and administrative provisions for the establishment of a revived and now re-established Yamassee Native American Government. MT.'Arafat Embassy Clan, hereinafter Mund barufat Shagruth Gabelu, successfully negotiated the treaty with the State of Georgia, the original contracting party, and has established Full Faith and Credit. The treaty was then annexed by the United States on February 11, 2004, via the United States Department of the State. Mund barufat Shagruth Gabelu has subsequently, through diplomatic action obtained required certification (Apostille and Authentications) from several states of the United States.
On October 1, 2004 the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania issued it's Apostille
certificate; on November 4, 2004, the State of New Jersey issued it's Apostille
certificate; on November 12, 2004 the State of Maryland, issued it's Apostille
certificate; on November 18, 2004 the State of Delaware issued it's authentication
certificate; on December 2, 2004 the Commonwealth of Virginia issued it's Apostille
certificate.
The Treaty of Atlaan and Amexem has created an intersect for the Yamassee Native Americans in law, (international & domestic), our Atlantian history, language, culture, the Pan-African movement as well as other historical and modern day political struggles associated with Africans, woolly-haired dark skinned peoples from around the world. Our treaty is in force internationally and we now occupy a seat at The United Nations during their annual Forum for Indigenous People....

(Al's note: Actually they attended a meeting of NGOs at the UN. Their "embassy" is a phone number in Switzerland.)

The matter of jurisdictional claims, definitions of status, and any assumed authority by another nation state to adjudicate over the Indigenous Yamassee native to Atlaan and Amexem now lie solely within the legal authority of the Yamassee Government.
From The Yamassee Constitution, Statute 12: Legal Matters, Section 1.
For all legal matters, A Member Of The Indigenous Mund Barufat Gabelu, Yamassee Native Americans, Cannot Be Accused or Held For An Abuse Of Political Rules Such As The Uniform Commercial Rules, Or Any Other Rules Of Another Nation. Yamassee Native Americans And Other Nations And People Should Take Effective Legislative, Administrative, Judicial Tribal Or Other Measures To Prevent Acts of Suffering In Any Territory Under Our Jurisdiction.

[educatedindian]

Pt 2
"The body of the Treaty of Atlaan and Amexem consists of several legal instruments.
A. A Brief in Support for the completion of the authentication with the United States State Department. This brief explains why The Yamassee Native American Government is seeking certification and not authorization, and requires various governmental entities to respond according to the rules, laws and protocols of the international diplomatic community.
B. Sample pages of legal and lawful Yamassee Government Documents, passports, conveyance plates, ID cards and driverÕs licenses. C. A Peace and Friendship treaty between Mund barufat Shagruth, The Yamassee Native Americans Original Cherokee, Seminole, Creek, Shushuni, Washita Mound builders, Egiptian Church of Karast "Christ" and The United Washita De Dugdahmoundyah.
D. Three pages affixed with affidavit of certification signed by S. Hicks, Clerk or Deputy Clerk of the Superior Court of De Kalb County, Georgia.
E. We include a sample of Yamassee Nationalization papers including tax-exempt status information.
F. Perjury Jurat-a declaration that the information in the document is factual and complete. The affiants are Yamassee Tribal Elders, Mund barufat Shagruth staff members and other members of our tribal community.
G. UCC financing documents.
The Yamassee Native American Government declares that our constitution, the Constitution of an Indigenous Peoples, Yamassee Native Americans, Mund barufat Shagruth Gabelu, was drafted from our organic constitution of 1992 prepared by Chief Black Thunderbird Eagle, and is in effect. Mt. ÔArafat Embassy Clan Officials will strive through the rule of law and good governance, to establish and maintain the legitimacy and authority of a representative form of government....
Further, Yamassee Government courts, legislature, its offices and ministries, and the executive offices of the Grand Master-Matron constitute the central governing body of the Yamassee Native American government.
From The Yamassee Native American Constitution: We the people, Mund Barafut Clan Yamassee Native Americans, do hereby declare our right to self-determination the right to autonomy or self-government....
When we "The First Peoples" of the Western Hemisphere could not (or would not) accommodate, the conquerors and settlers, who opposed us, tortured and killed many of our family and tribe members and forced us to become "Negro" slaves....
The intense competition amongst the European powers for land and resources as each claimed territory within our Yamassee Homelands sowed the seeds of conflict within our African-Decent Native American Tribal Families....
In the book entitled "New Partnership, Indigenous Peoples and the United Nations System", it states, "a North American leader explained to a younger tribal member: The paper with words (European drafted treaties) had one kind of meaning. Three objects from the signing ritual had others. A bag made of deerskin signified sharing, the sacred pipe was for truth and strength, and sweet grass meant kindness. They were a "kind PeopleÉ," which is what the name Yamassee means....
Because of these and many other historical and modern day considerations we of Mund barufat Shagruth Gabelu, of the Yamassee Native American Government, question the validity of past treaties and see no reason to remain bound to them....
The Yamassee Native American Government now declares all treaties associated with the Yamassee Native American People and any past Yamassee Governments, tribes, clans, families and those who have been declared to exist as bands of Indians are invalid and or subject to the review or re-negotiation by the present Yamassee Native American Government....
We lived amongst and became Seminoles, Creeks, Shushuni, and others, we became Cherokees, and more, but we had never surrendered into total submission....Through out all of this we remain, we continue the struggle, we live amongst our African American brethren who are of similar genetic origins as us being of Nubun (also called Negroid) decent before and after the continental drift..."

More mangled history.

"History of the Yamassee Native Americans
Language: Yamassic "Yamassic"
Verb: Yamassee "Yamassee" Gentle
Noun: Yamassee "Yamassee" a Native America Clan from Southeast America"

Obviously he doesn't know what a clan is.

"Q. Who are the Yamassee?
A. We are descendants of the people known as the "Mound Builders". The Yamassee is the oldest Native American Clan of Southeastern North America."

False, the mound builders were further north. The real Yamassee were in N Florida.

"We Yamassee, people are the descendants of the wooly haired Olmec People of South America,"

False. The famous Olmec heads look African, but any hair is covered by helmets.

"who slowly moved from South America upward and over to the southeast of North America."

False, the Olmecs were in Central America.

"Along the way the Olmec People established many clans and many societies.
Q. Who are the Olmec People?
A. The Olmec People called themselves Nubuns These Ancient Black indigenous people of this planet made migrations from Africa westward to this part of the land now being called America, during the periods before and after the continents began drifting apart."

False. Some oral histories do speak of travellers and traders from Africa pre Columbus, but continental drift happened 100 million years ago.

"Our ancestors brought much of their culture with them; which included rubber trees. Because of their use of the rubber, these Nubuns became known as The Olmecs, or the "Rubber People"; and they had thriving societies on the Americas for more than 100,000 years before the European Settlers came;"

False, the Olmecs didn't appear til maybe 2000 years ago.

"Most of our story has been obscured by the invading forces of the European Settlers and historians. As best as we can know, to this point there has been no history written about the Yamassee Native Americans of Olmec (Black) decent, by a modern day Yamassee."

That's because the actual Yamassee descendants are probably among the Seminole.

"One of my jobs is to tell the story as it was given to me first from my grandmother Viola Ben who seemed to make it clear to her daughter who is my mother, The Honorable Viola Sanders, to remind us her grandchildren of that "Indian blood" in our family WE are Original Cherokee."

Wait a minute, before you said you were Yamassee.

"I then studied as a student of, Chief Black Thunderbird Eagle;"

AKA Dwight York AKA a would be Egyptian pharaoh and space alien, now doing time for molesting over 80 children.

"and then from personal research and sitting with elders and chief of other clans.
I am "Maku Aswud Sagr" Commander in Chief of the Mount AÕrafat Embassy Clan Yamassee Native Americans; pronounced in our language (Mund Barufat Shagruth Gabelu Yamassee Asaluy Amrekee-aat). This is my best attempt to tell the story the way a Yamassee looks at this whole adventure."

Adventure? That's very telling.

"First of all, our claim is that all of the clans of the southeast were called "The Yamassee People"."

Way off. No actual tribe claimed that.

"Yamassee is not what we originally called ourselves. We were a part of "We the People", which encompassed this whole continent; in Yamassic thatÕs "Enen ba lehum-aat" or "We the People". We had commerce amongst the clans. In the old days the clans spoke similar dialects of the Muskogee languages. The Yamassic dialect is developed with strong ties to Semitic languages due to our affiliation with The Ancient Ones"

Muskogee and Hebrew are related? On what planet?

[ironhead]

Anybody can say anything

[educatedindian]

Their "new" website hasn't been updated since 2006. It shows some even more bizarre claims. Not even close, moved to Frauds.

http://www.yamasseenation.com/index.html
"Thank you for visiting The Yamassee Native American Association of Unamalgamate Nations’ Official Website."

I'm guessing they claim to be entirely Black and agree with Nuwaubian claims that NDNs are Chinese somehow.

"Grand Matron Red Silverfox Thunderbird and Grand Chief Black-Hawk Thunderbird of Mund Bareefan Shagruth Yamassee Native Americans."

Some of that sounds like mangled Hebrew or pretend Arabic.

They have lots of mangled Black power claims and claim to be recognized but also be owed land from New Jersey to California.

So they claim to be Olmec and Mound Builders and Nubian. They mention Viola Sanders of the Washitaw cult and militia group and also Dwight York's twinkie name Chief Black Thunderbird eagle..

Not much else on the site besides peddling twinkie videos.

Sanders has defended York and claims a vast conspiracy.
http://nuwaubianfacts.com/derricksanders.html

Claims Sanders was set up on his tax scam.
http://www.search.com/reference/Yamassee
"The United Nuwaubian Nation dropped the “of Moors” suffix from their name, purged most of the Yamassee Native American Moors information from their web site, and are trying to present a more law-abiding and less-patriot mythology-influenced public image.
They now report that the daughter of Yamassee “Commander-in-Chief” Derrick Sanders was working with the prosecution in the child molestation case against York, and also some claim that they only recently learned that the assumed legal sovereignty of that group was bogus. “Dr. Malachi Z. York & the United Nuwaubian Nation were blamed for the fanaticsm & crimes of those who came in under the guise of helping the Nuwaubians,” one Nuwaubianist wrote, who also claims that it was United Nuwaubian Nation members who turned Derrick Sanders in for promoting tax evasion."

[earthw7]

Gee reading this stuff make my head hurt and they wonder why we dont believe them

[panther66]

The problem is that there is confusion between true Yamassee people and Dr.york whom slandered our name. He is not affiliated with The Yamassee. He is slandering our name and ppl don't know who's who and what's what. There is a disclaimer on our website. Warning ppl not to get us confused about the two. The Yamassee leadership is addressing this 'headache'

[educatedindian]

Hello and welcome.

I think like everyone else here we are glad they are not as abusive as the Washitaw or York's cult. (BTW, why feed his delusion he is a doctor? He never earned any title except prisoner.)

That they don't abuse children as York did, great. That they don't control every aspect of their followers lives as York's cult does, great. That they don't heavily arm themselves and ally with white racists in the militia movement, great.

I see you describe yourself as Yamassee. But you are also online on both Cherokee and Comanche pride groups. Like I told the other Yamassee who described herself as Seminole, I wonder why you don't join the tribes of your ancestry instead of the Yamassee. Or if the paper proof can't be found, why not learn from Cherokee and Comanche rather than a heritage club claiming to be a tribe. The Yamassee knows so little about Native life they falsely imagine they will ever be recognized, either by the feds or by Natives.

From what the previous Yamassee said though, she stills seems to believe Black African=American Indian and that actual American Indians are Chinese imposters, the same racist lie that York and the "Empress" of the Washitaw push.

This is not only as wrong as can be and racist against Natives, it also is an insult to Black struggles. It denies genocide, the deaths of many millions of Africans who died on that horrible passage during the slave trade.

There may be people with Indian ancestry among the Yamassee. But it would be from mixing with Native people. The historic Yamasee tribe became part of the Seminole. And that's where any actual Yamassee ancestry people belong, and who they should learn from. Learning from those with faux-Muslim names and crazy theories is a dead end.

Let me ask, do you have any actual knowledge of people harmed by either York's bunch or the splinter groups?

[panther66]

first and foremost. i really want this group to know that this creep DR. York ISNOTaffiliated with the Yamassee Nation. he is faceing criminal charges for identity theft, fraud etc. he has been useing the name Yamassee and has been seriously causing problems. there may be a misunderstanding because when you go to youtube you see video after video of this con man. i  am a Yamassee Nation member. this crank dr.york and this saunders guy are causeing all types of problems to my nation. so in the future please DONOT confuse the two

[panther66]

also educatedindian. i am comanche on my DADS side but because he isnt on my birth certificate i cannot claim that. the same with the cherokee.both on my dads side. so i have every right to reasearch both. but i am not claiming anything. the yamassee came up via my mom and grandmother. there surnames were on the core family list. therefore i was able to enroll.

[educatedindian]

So why not enroll with the Seminole tribe? That's where almost all Yamassee descendants likely are. The Yamassee group you are part of is a heritage club at best, one that will never be recognized as a tribe, and where the leaders know very little about their alleged heritage. It does not abuse them on as York's group or the Ararat do, but it sure doesn't help them. It teaches more of the same Moorish "science" delusions.

And wny not learn from Cherokee and Comanche instead? You don't need to be enrolled to do that.

[Defend the Sacred]

the yamassee came up via my mom and grandmother. there surnames were on the core family list. therefore i was able to enroll.

It would be interesting to see this list of "core families". So far, everyone I know of who contacted this heritage group was asked their family names, and *then* told their families are on the list.
