What Is the Xi-Amaru Republic NAE Form and Why Does It Matter?

If you are a Xi-Amaru Native American citizen working as an employee, your citizenship carries a recognized exemption from both state and federal income tax withholding on your wages.

This is not a deduction and it is not a credit. It is an exemption from withholding — meaning your employer stops taking those taxes out of your paycheck altogether.

That exemption is exercised through a specific government document: the Xi-Amaru Republic Status: Verification Form NAE.

This article explains what the NAE form is, what it does, and why every employed Xi-Amaru Native American citizen needs to understand it.

What NAE Stands For

NAE stands for Native American Exemption. The Xi-Amaru Republic NAE form is the official employer-facing verification instrument issued by the Aboriginal Ministry of Justice. Its full name is the Xi-Amaru Republic Status: Verification Form NAE.

This form exists for one specific purpose: to enable Xi-Amaru Native American citizens to be formally recognized as exempt from state and federal income tax withholding on their employment wages.

It presents the employer with the documentation needed to initiate AMJ verification of the employee’s Xi-Amaru Native American citizenship and Tax-Exempt ID status, and provides the employer with the form they must complete and submit to the AMJ so that status can be officially confirmed.

The legal basis for this exemption is grounded in the Xi-Amaru Republic’s standing as a self-governing Indigenous nation under the American Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples (ADRIP, OAS AG/RES. 2888 (XLVI-O/16), June 15, 2016) and the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples (UNDRIP, UN General Assembly Resolution 61/295, 2007).

Under ADRIP Article XXVII §2, states — and the companies and labor activities operating within them — are required to act in conjunction with Indigenous peoples to adopt immediate and effective measures in the employment context that reflect the legal reality of Indigenous institutional standing.

ADRIP Article XXIII §1 further affirms that Indigenous peoples have the right to full and effective participation in the development and execution of laws, public policies, programs, and actions related to Indigenous matters — which includes the payroll and withholding policies that govern how their wages are treated.

These provisions establish that employment policy, at the company level, is not exempt from the obligation to align with Indigenous institutional frameworks. The NAE system is the mechanism through which the Xi-Amaru Republic exercises that right and through which employers fulfill that obligation.

Who Issues the NAE Form

The NAE form is issued by the Aboriginal Ministry of Justice (AMJ), the governing administrative authority of the Xi-Amaru Republic. The AMJ is the government body responsible for citizenship verification, documentation, and the protection of citizen rights under Xi-Amaru jurisdiction.

The form is not issued by a third-party organization, a nonprofit, or a tax preparation service. It is an official government document of a self-governing Indigenous nation.

What the NAE Form Does

The process works as follows: the citizen requests the NAE form from the AMJ or downloads it from the AMJ website, then provides a copy to their employer — by email to HR, payroll, or the appropriate contact, or in person — along with a copy of their Tax-Exempt ID.

The employer reviews the documentation, completes the form with their organization’s information, and submits the completed form to the AMJ Verification Department.

The AMJ then issues confirmation of verified status. And when it is paired with the citizen’s completed IRS Form W-4 claiming exempt status, that confirmation constitutes the full documentation package for the employer’s payroll records.

When the citizen provides their documents and the employer completes and submits the NAE form, it accomplishes the following:

• It presents the employer with documentation of the employee’s claimed Xi-Amaru Native American citizenship and Tax-Exempt ID for the employer to submit to the AMJ for verification
• It confirms receipt of the employee’s Tax-Exempt ID and documents the employer’s acknowledgment of that ID
• It establishes the employer’s awareness of the employee’s Indigenous jurisdictional standing
• It creates a formal record that supports the employee’s W-4 exempt claim
• It protects the employer in the event of a future IRS inquiry by documenting that the employer acted in good faith

Once the AMJ receives the completed form, the AMJ issues a confirmation of verified status. That confirmation, combined with the completed NAE form and the employee’s W-4, constitutes the complete documentation package for the employer’s payroll records.

Who Qualifies to Use the NAE Form

The NAE form is available only to full Xi-Amaru Native American citizens. Citizens who have received a positive determination through Tribal Screening or ARK Eligibility but have not yet completed the full Citizenship Procedure are in temporary national status. Temporary national status does not carry tax exemption. The NAE system is only available after full citizenship is conferred.

Both citizenship pathways produce the same result. Whether a citizen completed the Tribal Citizenship Procedure or the ARK Citizenship Procedure, their Tax-Exempt ID and NAE documentation carry identical standing.

The Legal Foundation: Why This Exemption Has Lawful Standing

The NAE exemption is not a workaround. It is not a loophole. It operates within the same legal framework that has governed recognized Indigenous nations throughout the Americas for generations.

The Xi-Amaru Republic derives its authority to govern, issue citizenship, and establish tax-exempt standing for its citizens from the following:

• The U.S. Constitution — the phrase excluding Indians not taxed appears verbatim in Article I, Section 2, Clause 3 (1787) and was deliberately reaffirmed in the Fourteenth Amendment, Section 2, ratified July 9, 1868. Both provisions address the apportionment of direct taxes among the states and both draw an explicit distinction between the general population subject to state and federal tax authority and Indigenous peoples maintaining their own national jurisdiction — referred to as Indians not taxed. This is the oldest domestic legal acknowledgment in the nation’s history that Indigenous peoples under their own governing authority occupy a constitutionally recognized distinct position with respect to taxation. Xi-Amaru Native Americans stand in that position. U.S. Const. art. I, § 2, cl. 3; U.S. Const. amend. XIV, § 2.
• ADRIP — American Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples, adopted by the Organization of American States on June 15, 2016 (OAS AG/RES. 2888 (XLVI-O/16)). ADRIP Article I affirms the right of Indigenous peoples to self-governance. ADRIP Article VIII affirms the right to belong to an Indigenous people. ADRIP Article XXVII affirms that states shall take all special measures necessary to prevent, punish and remedy any discrimination against Indigenous peoples in the employment context.
• UNDRIP — United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples, adopted by the UN General Assembly on September 13, 2007 (Resolution 61/295), and endorsed by the United States in December 2010 under President Obama. UNDRIP Article 3 affirms the right to self-determination. UNDRIP Article 4 affirms the right to autonomy in internal affairs and ways and means for financing autonomous functions. UNDRIP Article 17(3) affirms that Indigenous individuals have the right not to be subjected to any discriminatory conditions of labor and, inter alia, employment or salary.
• The Indian Citizenship Act of 1924 (Public Law 68-175, 43 Stat. 253) — a domestic confirmation that dual citizenship between an Indigenous nation and the United States is a recognized legal standing, and that Indigenous national citizenship does not impair or extinguish the rights flowing from it.
• IRS Form W-4 (Employee’s Withholding Certificate, irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/fw4.pdf) — the federally recognized document by which an employee instructs their employer how much tax to withhold. Xi-Amaru Native Americans complete Step 1(a), Step 1(b), check the Exempt from withholding box, and sign Step 5 — no other steps are required for an exempt claim. The completed W-4, together with the NAE form and AMJ confirmation, constitutes the full documentation package for the employer’s payroll records. A new W-4 must be submitted by February 16 each year to maintain exempt status.

This is not a loophole. The words excluding Indians not taxed are written into the U.S. Constitution — placed there in 1787 and reaffirmed by Congress in 1868. The exemption Xi-Amaru Native Americans hold is one the Constitution itself has always recognized. It is a legal status that protects where your money goes.

How to Get the NAE Form

Full citizens of the Xi-Amaru Republic may request the NAE Verification Form through the Aboriginal Ministry of Justice or download it directly from the AMJ website. Contact the AMJ at in**@*************************ce.org or call (844) 394-3706.

Once you have your form and your Tax-Exempt ID, the next step is providing both to your employer and asking them to complete and submit the form to the AMJ. That process is covered in full in our step-by-step article on how to present your NAE form to your employer.
