Aboriginal Monarchy
Establishing of the Monarchy
The United Cape States (UCS) is dedicated to the absolute freedom of all Capelanders who are united by, amongst others, our language, religion, heritage, territory, and culture, and that freedom includes the unfettered right to exercise all our rather diverse Capelander cultures.
This cultural freedom naturally must include the complete freedom of all peoples to live within their culture, under the dictates of such culture, and with other Capelanders from the same culture.
This allows for the people of a specific culture and heritage to acknowledge, accept, establish, and maintain their historic territories, customs, traditions, ‘rites of passage’, and Monarchy immediately upon secession.
The UCS would ensure that all the trust lands known as Mission Stations are instantly returned to the people of that State and placed under the curatorship of the Cultural Department of that State. The cultural leadership is to apportion such Mission Stations as deemed fit by the Capelanders from that cultural State.
The Central Government of the UCS would not hold jurisdiction over these Mission Stations whatsoever, it should remain totally in the hands of the Capelanders of that State who may:
- Appoint their own Cultural Curatorship
- Establish their own Cultural Institutes
- Appoint their own Cultural Practices
- Establish and maintain their own Monarchy
- Maintain their own Mission Stations etc.
Representation
Once the Monarchy has been established by the people of a State, it remains the responsibility of the Cultural Department as a Cultural Institution.
The Aboriginal Council is an advisory assembly and is recognized by the Federal and State governments as providing a voice for ethnic affairs. Each state constitution will recognize specific tribes in the UCS Constitution as Aboriginal in their specific state.
The Tribal Council of each tribe will nominate representatives in a manner that is based on their specific traditions or defined rules.
The UCS Central Government will however not acknowledge any Cultural Monarch as a form of governance nor consider any ‘Monarchical dictates’ as prescriptive in the operation of the UCS Central Governance. It will remain ‘in-toto’ a Cultural Heritage Institution.
