What would happen if indigenous nations applied for BRICS or Belt and Road?
@MattHunterMCR i think some in the Comanche nation tried but their elder council members were more conservative and not as receptive
@MattHunterMCR This brings up something I never thought about but like what been the geopolitical stance of the world on the topic of indigenous nations. Has there ever even been a thought to give them UN access?
@MattHunterMCR BRICS is an economic block not a political one. If indigenous nations had a centralized government and an economic system, of course they could apply to BRICS. Yorubaland can’t apply for BRICS, Nigeria can…
@MattHunterMCR It would probably start a big geopolitical conflict because unfortunately indigenous nations dont have UN recognition & the US would accuse Brics countries of meddling with internal affairs. China in particular needs the US market as a buyer of its goods, so i doubt theyd push
@MattHunterMCR They would need landback first
@MattHunterMCR Probably easier to accomplish after a plurinational constitutional change like Bolivia's
@MattHunterMCR I remember some time ago a certain state or province in Australia tried to sign a BRI-related contract with China but it ultimately didn't end in fruition...
