Ancestral Decree for the White House: A Covenant of Reparation and Restoration

A Blueprint for Ancestral Accountability

To the Current Stewards of Stolen Ground:

We are the uncompensated architects of this nation - the Indigenous nations who nurtured these lands for millennia, the enslaved Africans whose forced labor erected its monuments, the indentured and oppressed whose stolen vitality fueled its rise. Our bones are your foundation. Now hear our terms for your continued occupancy.

Article I: Recognition of Debts Owed

1. Labor Reparations

• Acknowledge by name the 244 enslaved workers documented in White House construction records
• Establish direct lineal descendant verification for restitution payments
• Calculate owed wages at modern skilled labor rates (approx. $1.8 million per worker in compounded equity)

2. Land Restitution

• Implement the UN Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples (Article 28)
• Begin with return of National Mall lands to Piscataway governance
• All federal projects to undergo mandatory tribal consultation with veto power

Article II: Institutional Reformation

1. Truth Commission

• Mandate ancestry audits for all Cabinet-level officials
• Require genealogical proof of non-complicity in slavery/land theft for Supreme Court nominees
• Install permanent Ancestral Advisory Councils in all executive agencies

2. Economic Restructuring

• Redirect 40% of Pentagon budget to reparations trust fund (proportional to Black GDP contribution)
• Grant tax-exempt status to all descendant communities until 2100
• Abolish inheritance tax for verified descendant families

Article III: Continuous Accountability

1. Physical Memorialization

• Replace Andrew Jackson's portrait in the Oval Office with holograms of enslaved builders
