Such a step would promote greater acceptance of one another by the members of the different communities who live in the United States and would encourage sharing between them in the economic and social or even the cultural spheres.

Representatives of the Mohawk and Piscataway Nations said in particular that "The Mohawk Nation undergoes State-sponsored racial brutality and impoverishment when they exercise their unrelinquished right to determine their own development as an intact nation. The Piscataway Nation, despite constitutional guarantees to religious freedom, cannot practice their spirituality without the permission of white landowners and the National Park Service." 3/ Reference was made in communications received by the Special Rapporteur and in discussions with official departments to discriminatory and brutal treatment of migrant workers from Mexico; of racist acts by the police and prison warders, discriminatory judicial practices in Mississippi, with the encouragement of the highest State authorities and judges. 4/ The names of these organizations are given in the annex, in the schedule of the Special Rapporteur’s mission. 5/ Communication to the Special Rapporteur from the African American Human Rights Foundation, Washington, 12 October 1994.
