People Nation is an alliance of street gangs generally associated with the Chicago area. They are rivals to the Folk Nation. The People Nation were formed much in the same way as the Folk Nation. In 1978, the El Rukns (now Black P. Stones), Vice Lords and Latin Kings formed an alliance of their own, and titled it the "People".

Jeff Fort of El Rukns, Bobby Gore of the Vice Lords, and Gustavo Colon of the Latin Kings were very instrumental in the forming of this alliance. Among initial members to the People were the Mickey Cobras (then named the Cobra Stones), Latin Counts, Bishops, Insane Unknowns, Spanish Lords, soon after the Gaylords and the South Side Popes.

Facts

Gangs demonstrate their particular alignment by "representing" through symbols, colors, graffiti, hand signs, and words. Representing also encompasses the left side of the body. The People Nation Gangs wear all identifiers to the left. An earring in the left, a right pants leg rolled up, and a cap tilted to the left may all indicate affiliation to the alliance. The gang's hand sign is thrown to the left shoulder. The gang members fold their arms in a manner that is pointed to the left. The People Nation alliance in most instances uses a five-pointed star in their gang graffiti. The five-pointed star has its origins with the Black Stone Rangers/Black P. Stone Ranger Nation, one of the larger street gangs. The alliance's term "high five, six must die" is in reference to the five-pointed star versus the six-pointed star in the Folk Nation alliance. There are many other terms referring to fives over sixes such as "five in the sky, six must die" and also "5 poppin, 6 droppin." Commonly used by the People Nation alliance are drawings of pitchforks pointed down in disrespect to the Folk Nation alliance. Certain terms are used by the People Nation alliance such as "all is well" when greeting each other. The five-pointed star is not the only symbol used by the People Nation. Others include a 3D pyramid, a five-pointed crown, a die with its front-side showing five dots, a crescent moon with its concave side facing to the right and sometimes with a small five-pointed star to the right of that moon, and a symbol resembling the playboy bunny symbol.
