They have recognised me as a Luiseno Temecula Pechanga Indian since I was a little kid. Although I am not sure if this still is the case with as I have heard that a member of the Pechanga Band who is in charge of the Riverside BIA office has been buzy changing BIA records to remove the Pechanga title from some of there records.<BR/><BR/>Not too sure about this myself, as I havent checked on it personally, Just something that has been reported.Luisenohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01716990645661766960noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2887382220113280558.post-76950677613158771622008-01-19T10:44:00.000-05:002008-01-19T10:44:00.000-05:00Pechanga pronounced us NON Pechanga, which in turn...Pechanga pronounced us NON Pechanga, which in turn means the Feds no longer recognize us as Indians.OPechangahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10687743661360604165noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2887382220113280558.post-34769401045769918732008-01-19T02:32:00.001-05:002008-01-19T02:32:00.001-05:00Is Pechanga pronouncing you non-Indian or non-Pech...Is Pechanga pronouncing you non-Indian or non-Pechanga Indians?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2887382220113280558.post-7110086007374418252008-01-18T08:59:00.000-05:002008-01-18T08:59:00.000-05:00The members who are not born Pechanga, have graspe...The members who are not born Pechanga, have grasped the power to disenroll blood members. The BIA? Their incompetence is legendary. They "say" they can't get involved in membership issues.<BR/><BR/>Their involvement doesn't help much. YOUR involvement, by spreading the word, asking your friends to avoid casinos from tribes that violate civil rights, would help MORE.OPechangahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10687743661360604165noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2887382220113280558.post-698487882025996822008-01-18T08:46:00.000-05:002008-01-18T08:46:00.000-05:00Question: I assume people that frequent this site...Question: I assume people that frequent this site are very knowledgeable regarding the Pechanga Indians. With that in mind have you researched the families that are members, specifically the members that on the enrollment committee that voted you out? I have heard that many people don't believe that a number of the families that are enrolled are actually Pechanga. I would think if you had proof that they were not Pechanga and proof that you were, that the BIA or the BIA in Washington DC would have to do something.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
