The National Amerindianist American Redman's Party (or NAARP) was a Native American, Socialist political party in the USA. It was founded in 1972 in the backdrop of the wider American Indian Movement in Lincoln, Nebraska. The NAARP was active throughout much of the 1970s.

Ideology and Political Positions

The party named its ideology as "National Amerindianism". It argued against the Capitalist and Liberal Democratic system, which it considered corrupt and irresponsible, as well as what it termed the 'White Hegemony' present in the US, in favour of a Socialist, centralised Native Republic under one party.

The NAARP argued for the eventual decolonisation of the entirety of the Americas by demographic resettlement by Asians (who the NAARP refers to under the umbrella of Mongolian) and Native Americans (under the umbrella term of 'Erythrosian ethnicity'), in a process it compared to Israeli settlements. To help achieve this, the NAARP advocated for the creation of a strong army and air-force alongside the usage of five year plans to industrialise the country.  In addition, the NAARP also believed in the formation of an alliance with nations in Asia and natives in South America to help realise this. Part of the decolonisation process was to be the acquirement of reparations from the USA.

The NAARP strongly supported Anti-miscegenation laws, by calling for refusal to recognise as Native American those who have 'alien strain', though the NAARP did not consider Asian Americans and South Americans to be 'alien'. It considered Native Americans to be racially and politically superior to other groups.

Party Platform

The NAARP had a 28-point Party Platform which was submitted to the UN on the 18th of May, 1973:

1. The union of the American Indian people in a sovereign nation. The Greater Ameridia Patria.
