About STGMNA

STG Ministries of North America

Our Mission

STGMNA is an Aboriginal American faith-based, NGO committed to confronting the ongoing realities of the injustices of genocide, ethnocide, ecocide, and paper genocide impacting Aboriginal American communities.

We serve as a spiritual, legal, environmental, and educational ministry for the reclamation and protection of Aboriginal American identity, land, health, and culture across the American continent.

Our mission is to expose systemic injustice, protect sacred knowledge, and restore rightful self-determination to the natural descendants of the Aboriginal American Nations who have been reclassified, dispossessed, and targeted for erasure under colonial and corporate systems.

What We Do

STGMNA works at the intersection of:

• Environmental Justice – Defending our land, water, and air from toxic harm and corporate exploitation
• Cultural Preservation – Restoring language, traditions, healing practices, and sovereign identity
• Public Health Advocacy – Addressing chemical exposure, racialized medical harm, and health sovereignty
• Policy Research & Legal Action – Challenging the erasure of Aboriginal American status through legislative and legal channels
• Community Education & Healing – Teaching truth, fostering resilience, and empowering our people through spiritual and practical tools

We are building a future grounded in truth, not tolerance rooted in land, not legislation and driven by Aboriginal American Nations principles of balance, restoration, and right relation.

Defining Genocide, Paper Genocide, Ethnocide & Ecocide

At STGMNA, we believe it is essential to name and confront the distinct forms of violence and erasure impacting Aboriginal American Nations, their descendants, and the environment. Below are the key terms central to our mission:

Genocide

Genocide is the deliberate, systematic destruction of a people, nation, or ethnic group.

This includes killing, causing serious physical or mental harm, imposing destructive living conditions, preventing births, or forcibly transferring children — all with the intent to eliminate the group’s existence.

Paper Genocide

Paper genocide refers to the bureaucratic and legal erasure of a people’s identity through records, classifications, and official documentation.

This occurs when Aboriginal American populations are reclassified under imposed racial categories (such as “Negro”, “Black”, or “African American”), stripped of their recognized status, or misrepresented in government records — severing legal, ancestral, and cultural ties without physical violence but with devastating cultural and political consequences.

(Note: Under U.S. law, the term “Native” often refers specifically to individuals legally recognized under federal definitions, such as members of federally recognized tribes or those eligible under the Indian Reorganization Act. STGMNA uses the term Aboriginal American to center the original, ancestral peoples of the American Continent whose identity has been targeted for erasure.)

Ethnocide

Ethnocide is the destruction of a people’s culture, language, traditions, and spiritual practices — without necessarily taking their lives.

It includes suppressing languages, outlawing ceremonies, dismantling cultural practices, and enforcing assimilation — severing communities from their ancestral knowledge and identity.

Ecocide

Ecocide refers to the large-scale destruction of ecosystems, causing severe and lasting harm to the natural environment on which human and nonhuman life depends.

This includes deforestation, poisoning of waterways, soil degradation, loss of biodiversity, and other actions that disrupt environmental balance and violate the rights of communities to a healthy, sustainable homeland.

Our Commitment

STGMNA stands against all forms of genocide, paper genocide, ethnocide, and ecocide.

We work to expose, challenge, and dismantle these destructive forces through advocacy, education, research, policy action, and grassroots partnerships — always centering the sovereignty and self-determination of Aboriginal American Nations.
