Records in the index should always be verfied against the original records." <br /><br />When I contacted the IGI I found out that the entry that the CPP tried to use against us was submitted by a member of the Mormon Church after 1991 hardly an historical source.<br /><br />And even the biased enrollment committee didn't try to use that against us in our disenrollment proceedings.<br /><br />Hey tribal hack, how come you don't talk about Ohio anymore?<br /><br />Gentle Readers, ever notice how our tribal crtic always get less and less specific when we shut down his bogus arguments?<br /><br />Come on hack, let's hear about the so called simple due process we were afforded.<br /><br />Will you answer my questions this time?'aamokatnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2887382220113280558.post-48903872517816495412010-04-30T16:50:33.698-04:002010-04-30T16:50:33.698-04:00Mr. Lee brings up a perfect point.
Hunter family ...Mr. Lee brings up a perfect point.<br /><br />Hunter family descendents have been associated with Pechanga for EIGHT generations, with Paulina Hunter's father being the ONLY one listed as from Pechanga (pichanga).<br /><br />And he was born before California became a state, before driver's licenses and before the idiot people of the CPP could have put a fake Paulina from Ohio and then accuse our ancestor of being that one.OPechangahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10687743661360604165noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2887382220113280558.post-12806671260358026652010-04-30T15:43:18.809-04:002010-04-30T15:43:18.809-04:00"John Gomez Jr., 39, a Pechanga member since ..."John Gomez Jr., 39, a Pechanga member since childhood, was kicked out in 2004."<br />http://www.usatoday.com/news/nation/2007-10-27-2757711526_x.htm<br /><br />"Anonymous said... <br />Yes, these non-members may have Indian ancestry, but it does not associate them with Pechanga"<br /><br />A tribal member since childhood! That's a good enough association for me. The variables of those ancestral associations are impacted by European Colonialism and American Conquest. Ones ancestors may have not originated from the village prior to contact, but their proven association and recognition as members during the cultural sieges from Europe, Mexico, and U.S. occupation carries more weight than where they originated from. <br />A member since childhood disqualified because of the status of an ancestor?
