This is an apt description in many instances of tribal disenrollment:
A hate crime (also known as a bias-motivated crime or bias crime)[1] is a prejudice-motivated crime which occurs when a perpetrator targets a victim because of their membership (or perceived membership) of a certain social group or racial demographic.
While stripping the tribal citizenship from perceived enemies and those not following those in power in lockstep is NOT a crime, though the violations of civil and human rights should be, the results can be the same. So, would they just be bias incidents that affect 11,000 living?
Elders lose their heritage, their kinship, their health benefits. Children grow up with no sense of tribal belonging and without the benefits they should have.
