Has anyone contacted the new Riverside BIA Director to see if they are more receptive to the disenrollments or the moratorium? If the moratorium is truly illegal and the tribal council refuses to follow the tribe’s constitution wouldn’t it be up to the BIA to do something? Also, if someone has altered documents at the BIA such as the 1940 census couldn’t they investigate and correct that?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2887382220113280558.post-15917085439366586602010-01-06T01:47:34.059-05:002010-01-06T01:47:34.059-05:00My grandmother's probate for her share of Paul...My grandmother's probate for her share of Paulina Hunter's allotment went through after we were disenrolled but her official probate documents from the United States Department of Interior identify her as a Mission Indian (Pechanga Band).<br /><br />So clearly the United States government still considers us as Pechanga Indians even if our tribe at this time "officially" does not.<br /><br />So if the BIA can go after the Miwok tribe for disenrolling someone that they recognize as belonging to that tribe, then they should do the same thing across the board to any other tribes, including Pechanga, that unlawfully disenroll people regardless of their financial status.<br /><br />But since the Pechanga disenrollments reportedly CDIB certificates have been changed for individuals who previously were designated as Pechanga to either San Luis Rey or Temecula.<br /><br />So has someone been tampering with historical records at the Riverside BIA office but they have been unable to alter the land records and did someone from the Pechanga tribe have something to do with this?<br /><br />This is backed up by the reaction of someone from the Pechanga cultural department when the moratorium person SanJuanflorist told him that her CDIB said Pechanga and he was upset and reportedly said they couldn't do that anymore, apparently for non tribal members.<br /><br />So has Pechanga's monetary influence tainted the local BIA office towards the tribe's agenda? <br /><br />But even they couldn't tamper with legal court documents like probate records.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
