OVERVIEW
The Republic of Aniyunwiya is a sovereign entity located within the North American continent, specifically within the territory of the United States. Encompassing an area of approximately 9,540,000 square miles (24,709,000 square kilometers), the Republic is home to an estimated population of 126 million Ab Original (African Americans), indicative of a significant population density.

NATIONAL FLAG
Republic of Aniyunwiya is a majestic symbol of heritage and celestial connection. Its lower half, awash in radiant royal gold, represents the wealth, enlightenment, and enduring strength of the nation, while the upper half, in deep royal purple, signifies power, spirituality, and the boundless mysteries of the cosmos. At the heart of this banner shines the Ursa Minor constellation, revered in American Indian culture as the Little Dipper, or *Usdi Ama agugisdodi*. This constellation serves as a guiding light, a celestial compass connecting the people of Aniyunwiya to the sacred heavens. The meaning, rituals, and reverence accorded to the National Flag are enshrined in law, honoring its sanctity and significance.
COAT OF ARMS
Republic of Aniyunwiya is a profound emblem, rich in symbolism and tradition. On the left side, the regal purple field evokes power, wealth, luxury, authority, and prestige. Fourteen golden-tipped feathers, representing the revered fourteen clans of honor, form a crown of dignity; the golden tip signifies the highest distinction in American Indian culture. Flanking the coat of arms are two golden feathers, a testament to honor and valor. At the heart of the emblem lies a purple symbol, channeling the positive energies of the universe, fostering peace and tranquility throughout the Republic of Aniyunwiya. On the right, thirteen black-tipped feathers align in unison, each carrying a divine message, serving as a bridge between the mortal and the celestial, a guide from the sacred realm. This intricate design embodies the unity of the Republic and its harmonious relationship with the universe.
NATIONAL ANTHEM
WE ARE THE LIGHT
**Verse 1**
From the stars, we rise, enlightened and free,
With ancient strength that binds us to eternity.
North winds whisper through the mountains tall,
The spirit of our ancestors, they still call.
**Chorus**
We are the light, born of the earth and sky,
Enduring through shadows, our power shall not die.
With wealth of spirit, we carry the flame,
Aniyunwiya, forever is our name.
**Verse 2**
Under cosmic guidance, our people still stand,
Bearing the scars of tears across the land.
Yet in our hearts, shines the dawn of a dream,
Rising like rivers, flowing in a celestial stream.
**Chorus**
We are the light, born of the earth and sky,
Enduring through shadows, our power shall not die.
With wealth of spirit, we carry the flame,
Aniyunwiya, forever is our name.
**Bridge**
The chains that bound us crumble in the stars’ glow,
Papal decrees cannot weaken what we know.
Our strength is in the cosmos, vast and pure,
Aniyunwiya, our spirit will endure.
**Chorus**
We are the light, born of the earth and sky,
Enduring through shadows, our power shall not die.
With wealth of spirit, we carry the flame,
Aniyunwiya, forever is our name.

Research yourself
The final dawes rolls
BUILD A FAMILY TREE AND TRACE YOUR FAMILY ORGINS SO YOU CAN RECOVER WHAT WAS STOLEN FROM YOUR FAMILY
Ask the parents/elders in your family for the names of all their parents and other ancestors (e.g., aunts, uncles, cousins, etc.). Ask them to try to remember as far back as they can. This process is critical in trying to establish a family tree. Ask them which tribes their parents/elders were a part of and if and where their ancestors ever owned land.
Search on birth records, census records (state and federal), and Indian Rolls (see one set of records below of the Dawes Rolls) for the names they provide to see their tribe(s) and original classification(s).
REMEMBER: YOUR IDENTITY CAN BE ESTABLISHED WITH YOUR Grandparents AND/OR Great-Grandparents.
IN MOST CASES SEARCHES ARE FREE, SOME MAY REQUIRE A MEMBERSHIP
REMEMBER THIS... "WITHOUT YOUR OWN CULTURAL IDENTITY, YOU BECOME ANYTHING THAT THEY TELL YOU - YOU ARE"
