UPDATE: FACTIONS ESCORTED OUT BY SHERIFFS: STABBING AT CHUKCHANSI: Scanner Reports Road Closures

The Fresno Bee reports: Up to 50 members of the rival Chukchansi Indian leadership factions, including those who broke into the tribal government building Monday, were escorted from the tribal offices by law enforcement this afternoon.

The group that occupied the tribal council building, led by Morris Reid, left the building about 2:15 p.m., escorted by Madera County sheriff's deputies and California Highway Patrol officers. The other group, led by Reggie Lewis, was escorted minutes earlier out of the tribe's economic development building.

Supporters of both sides yelled and jeered as the people walked though the office gates.



Looks like things are coming to a violent head. We received word that police scanners are saying:

Lucky lane and 41 both closed by law enforcement--stabbing reported at tribal office.

Some additional details are coming: Heard that a young man was trying to guard one of the doors to the offices, which were being occupied by newly-elected Morris Reid's group, and then the young man was stabbed by someone trying to get in. OP: That makes it REGGIE LEWIS's responsibility...VIOLENCE.

STAY AWAY FROM CHUKCHANSI!

UPDATE: Called Chukchansi and their operator said the casino is OPEN. She said what was going on was across the street. BUT, she said the hotel is not making reservations. Yikes.

It's so sad to see all this going on. When is the BIA going to step in? If they would have done their job things like this would never happen!!!

San Pascual and Pala disenrolled have their plan of action.

You must use you power and fight. Your tribe will NOT do the right thing.

The BIA will never step in,
there original perpose was to control the indian population not protect our rights. Remember?

Just think: "Wounded Knee" started out with "Simple Indescretions," for their right to exist, and then "ALL HELL BROKE LOOSE! Lewis lost the "Election," so what's the "Problem?"

The BIA will side with the people handing them their kick backs(bribes).

Find out the names of the BIA agents, and look up their names on the internet.

Find out where there fake businesses are. They use these fake businesses to tell the IRS where their illegal money is coming from. (They say they earned it from their business)

When you find these fake businesses, report them to the FBI.

Send a message to corrupt BIA officers that accepting bribes and taking sides will have a *real* consequence.
