Taking others rights and flushing them without honoring ALL laws and custom and tradition is not acceptable now or later. Hopefully the truth shines through sooner than later. Hitler tried and lost. Apartheid and ignoring ALL rights is not how our Ancestors treated each other, even if they did not see the outcome in the same manner as others. Disenrollment never took place until Casino$$$$ and greedy members and adopted members took over.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2887382220113280558.post-85031224065900037332015-04-24T01:57:46.325-04:002015-04-24T01:57:46.325-04:00A lot of what the person who wrote that blog is go...A lot of what the person who wrote that blog is good and true. In fact everything he says is the ideal utopian that all tribal communities should achieve. Unfortunately, the article points out exactly why tribes are oppressed and suppressed into operating within legal and political barriers, that force tribes to make decisions to ensure their survival, and it is the continued colonizing and assimilating regime/culture of the US government and it's "idea" of social values, norms, and goals as "Americans." Although disenrollment is devastating, it is each tribes right to decide their fate and to live with the consequences of those decisions, be it good or bad. In other words, the reality of tribal existence depends on tribes exercising the sovereign powers that each government possesses. I am all for the morality and ideological worldview expressed within the LRI article as the proper way to live with each other at the basic minimum, but each tribe should be able to chose their own way. The reality of Indian Country is that the ideal, values, and goals expressed within the LRI article have always been in conflict with the ideals, values, and goals that a continually forced political and legal regime of colonization exerts. I believe the same inherent power that provides tribes the ability to conduct itself politically and legally, allows tribes the ability to determine who is a citizen of their nation and who is not. Until the idea of where that power originates, from a political/legal relationship or from an inherent right from Creation, is understood the utopian idealized reality expressed within LRI'S article will never be reality. Sorry to say, but the relationships that LRI discuss are not derived from political/legal relationships, they are derived from the Creator and realized through each tribes own unique Creation story and brief system/ worldview of themselves. The legal/political reality allows tribes to make decisions, that they must live with and decide for themselves, no one else, and I don't think that last remaining freedom should be stripped.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2887382220113280558.post-54484444999300623922015-04-22T12:53:27.333-04:002015-04-22T12:53:27.333-04:00My dad manuel rios spent most of his life trying t...My dad manuel rios spent most of his life trying to get pechanga to listen to him about how are family belonged and all the proof that we have showing so the fight will continue in his memory and may be some day they will listen to us I me michael Anthony rios have all of our paperwork and pictures of our ancestors and deeds to our land that is now owned by my brother and myself we will keep fighting till our death mark mccarrow you will not out last me I will keep fighting till you are gone people need to wake up and see you for who you really are you are not even pechanga Indian who knows what the hell you are Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2887382220113280558.post-89551113723395418062015-04-22T02:25:07.146-04:002015-04-22T02:25:07.146-04:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.Wendy Owenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14116036454535424164noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2887382220113280558.post-63381902395743824372015-04-20T18:24:38.408-04:002015-04-20T18:24:38.408-04:00I got a lot of respect for them (after that articl...I got a lot of respect for them (after that article ) they are the real last Indians.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2887382220113280558.post-67208423694434282792015-04-20T18:05:10.395-04:002015-04-20T18:05:10.395-04:00I have many friends that work at Pechanga and Pala...I have many friends that work at Pechanga and Pala and they say less and less people gamble and the regulars are few and far between.
