In fact he is the only Indian listed in the surviving mission records as being born at Pechanga. <br /><br />It would seem that her father being born an Indian at Pechanga makes him a Pechanga Indian even before there was a reservation named Pechanga.Paulina Hunter lived in the original Temecula Indian village (fact supported by signed and witnessed documents from the period). She moved with her tribe when they were evicted to the area known as Pechanga, an area well known to her and her family, as her father was born there. She is listed on each and every census record for the Pechanga reservation from its creation until her death. She was granted a land allotment (listing her as a Pechanga Indian) from the president of the United States in the 1800's. And now over 100 years after her death, some are claiming she was some other kind of Indian? You might ponder "if it is a small group, why hasn't the rest of the Tribe tried to put a stop it?" Well we DID in 2005. As a matter of fact in the largest gathering of our Tribe in recorded history, we voted to STOP "ALL" disenrollment which removed the Disenrollment Procedure from Pechanga Tribal Law. This was the largest voter turnout since the inception of the Reservation. The margin was more than 2:1 in favor of removing the procedure.This so shocked the CPP(Corrupt Pechanga People) that has gained control that they stopped ALL tribal meetings for the next few months, and in secret behind closed doors, guarded by armed guards decided to disregard the vote and the will of the people and disenrolled the Hunters regardless of the law. This act resulted in removing 100+ adults from the upcoming political elections, quarterly bonus, and percapita distributions. Those who are left on the Rez live in fear that if they now speak up the same lawless actions will happen to them.concerned citizennoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2887382220113280558.post-316436108301942892010-12-01T08:14:36.735-05:002010-12-01T08:14:36.735-05:00Pechanga Custom and Oral tradition
Most recently...Pechanga Custom and Oral tradition<br /> <br />Most recently before his death, Antonio Ashman in a sworn affidavit said he knew Paulina as a member of the Band. He also swore that Paulina stayed at the home of Michelle and Salvador Quiliq and heard they were related. He also stated Paulina was called Aunt by Martin Berdugo, another recognized member of Pechanga. This is recorded oral recognition that the CPP faction says Paulina Hunter did not have.<br /><br />The enrollment committee also finds that Paulina was given a land allotment on the Pechanga reservation as a Temecula Indian. This confirms Paulina’s status as a Temecula Indian.<br /><br />The record of decision regarding the descendants of Paulina Hunter says that because John Miller under the Act of May 18, 1928 (45 Stat. L 602), a direct descendant of Paulina Hunter states that his Grandmother “was allotted as a Pechanga Mission Indian, but his Grandmother and Great Grandparents were of the San Luis Rey Mission Indians.”<br /><br />This statement somehow outweighs hundreds of other documents the enrollment committee has possession of detailing the Hunters as recognized members of the Pechanga band by tribal elders who were alive at the time the reservation was established.<br /><br /><br />If this reasoning stands true, then the following people have the same problems as the Hunters and should be held to the same standards.<br /><br /><br />1928 Application Blood Pechanga Descendant<br /><br />Salazar, Petronilla ---San Luiseno Frances Miranda<br /><br /><br />Leyva, Maximinio ----Mission- San Luis Rey<br />Ruth Masiel<br />Irene Scearce<br />Jennie Miranda<br />Raymond Basquez<br /><br />Casas, Louisa Ayal----- Full blood San Luiseno<br /><br />Bobbie LaMerethe truthnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2887382220113280558.post-2819022101544900602010-12-01T02:37:32.640-05:002010-12-01T02:37:32.640-05:00Ha, ha.

In fact, the disenrollment of the non-members from the membership roll ended the status of these non-members as tribal members. Put another way, the disenrollees have no tribal affiliation with Pechanga; hence, they cannot have the standing that goes with this affiliation: tribal member. By their removal, the non-members have been returned to their former status as non-members, no matter how much they insist otherwise. In addition, the non-members misrepresent their entitlement to a per capita payment. The Indian Gaming Regulatory Act specifies that profits from a tribal casino must go to tribal members or to projects and programs benefitting tribal members. Under federal law, these monies cannot go to non-tribal individuals. Thus, a tribe cannot steal something from the non-members which they do not have. The non-members have lost all their rights, benefits, and privileges which they falsely held. The non-members have been exposed and removed. This action has more closely conformed the membership roll to the membership criteria.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2887382220113280558.post-23936469858231259752010-11-30T10:15:43.417-05:002010-11-30T10:15:43.417-05:00Didn't Jack Abrahamoff do something similar to...Didn't Jack Abrahamoff do something similar to what IETAN Consulting is doing?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2887382220113280558.post-63267891837990852192010-11-30T09:42:13.216-05:002010-11-30T09:42:13.216-05:00Excelllent post, and well put together spotlight o...Excelllent post, and well put together spotlight on the corruption that is spilling off the termination reservations.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
