For years, we have reported that the National Congress of American Indians has stood by in silence, while over 10,000 American Indians have had their civil and human rights abused by Tribes who have disenrolled their people.

A resolution is one of the policy mechanisms utilized by NCAI to express the consensus positions of member tribes on tribal, federal, state, and/or local legislation, litigation, or policy matters that affect the welfare and rights of American Indian and Alaska Native governments or communities. With over 10,000 Natives affected, you would think the issue is one that needs resolutions. How many does it have to happen to before it's WRONG?
Could THIS be an opportunity for JUSTICE, maybe supported by tribes that have brought their people home in a reversal of disenrollment, like what happend at Enterprise Rancheria and the Robinson Rancheria?
NCAI members establish the organization’s positions on issues that affect tribal nations and Native people through a resolutions process. NCAI resolutions are one of the policy mechanisms used to express the organizational positions on tribal, federal, state, and/or local legislation, litigation, and policy matters that affect tribal governments or communities.

To the National Congress of American Indians: Shame on you!. The very organization that purportedly came into being to advocate, support and defend American Indian Tribes across this country, have chosen instead to defend money hungry tribes who are guilty of disenrollment of it's own tribal members all for the love and greed of money, thanks in large part to the lucrative business of gambling that many tribes have engaged in. People like Mark Macarro (Pechanga) has decided that he is "God" of the tribe he claims to be a member of. Maybe the actions of him, and others, who have disenrolled its members is proof that no matter one's color or race, history has repeated itself time and time again, that mankind is intrinsically corrupt and wicked. The strong and powerful will always subjugate and control the weak and powerless. Read our world history from the beginning if you dare argue the point. Native Peoples are no different. So much for being sacred. Mark Macarro, The National Congress of American Indians and all the other tribes that have banished their own tribal members have "Blood on their Hands". These are the same people who'll tell you it's all the "White man's fault". Our Creator God is watching. HE will have the last WORD.
