Tribal members need to submit motions to their tribal councils to forbid disenrollments and make amendments to their enrollment ordinances or governing documents that limit the power of tribal leaders to enact disenrollments.<br /><br />We keep hearing these stories about people being disenrolled without evidence, by phony votes, or by leaders that don't conduct fair hearings. If you are a tribal member you should fear these actions. The disenrolling tribes are setting precedents for other tribes to follow. More people are going to be hurt unless tribal members prevent it before it happens. The way to do that is to become politically active and put provisions in tribal law that prevent disenrollments. <br /><br />I know in Pechanga the tribal council voted against disenrollments and the tribal leaders disenrolled anyway. It could have been stopped if tribal law had been amended to prevent disenrollment. That means there has to be teeth in the law. So get those enrollment ordinances and governing documents amended with language that specifically forbids disenrollment without due process, that forbids mass disenrollment, that forbids tribal leaders from enacting disenrollments without the consensus of the general membership, that provides severe sanctions against any tribal leader that attempts to disenroll without due process, that provides for external adjudication if the tribal court is unable to provide due process, and that creates a fixed period after which an enrolled member cannot be disenrolled.<br /><br />The idea is that if a member is enrolled for a fixed period, for example six years, then that member cannot be disenrolled for any reason whatsoever. It would operate like a statute of limitations on any disenrollment. <br /><br />The end result of these changes to the enrollment procedures of a tribe would be to prevent the disenrollment of large groups, to require substantiating evidence that an enrolled member was enrolled due to an error or misstatement of facts, to provide for review of enrollment on a case by case basis, to provide for due process, to prevent the tribal leaders from disenrolling without a hearing or without a vote by the general membership, and to create a window where review of enrollment could occur if a dispute arose, but after which such review would be disallowed because the action was outside the window of limitations.<br /><br />This seems to me the way to fix this problem in every tribe. Then tribes would have the option of verifying the enrollment of a disputed member, but would have rules that prevent disenrollment for reasons of eliminating political opposition or of decreasing the enrollment to limit revenue distribution.<br /><br />Then personal vendettas, greed, and lust for power and control would be eliminated from enrollment decisions. All members would benefit from the assurance that their membership status could not be assaulted by corrupt leaders, and the beneficial governance of the tribe would not be disrupted by these horrific actions to terminate large groups of members.Reinstatement_Restitutionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02930007890367591643noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2887382220113280558.post-21021345783793303462016-03-19T15:11:01.481-04:002016-03-19T15:11:01.481-04:00On our disenrollment they used letters written by ...On our disenrollment they used letters written by Raymond Basques,Gloria write and Vincent Ibenaz wile he was still in prison for child molestation. their letters were basically how there great grandmother tolled them we were not.. from there there was not documentation to back up there claim.
