Working to correct the tribe’s wrongs has the best investment potential for your money. Each of the tribe’s members may be making more than twice the amount they would if the "right" thing occurs, but this half received on solid ground, with unyielding intentions will continue to grow at a stable income for a steadfast future. As your per capita stands now, each day is shaky. What confidence and pride can you make in your ventures? Stolen money does not hold the same value as honest money.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2887382220113280558.post-62208138206891567602008-10-06T09:47:00.000-04:002008-10-06T09:47:00.000-04:00Not all members are greedy collecting money lowlif...Not all members are greedy collecting money lowlifes without future goals. Some members actually spoke out against the moratorium and disenrollment. Unfortunately it was not the majority. There are members who have used this money to better their lives. Owning home for the first time. Getting off welfare after generations. Putting their children through college or going to college themselves. Some member have family caught up in the moratorium or children who are not eligible to enroll and support them financially. I believe disenrollment is/was wrong, the moratorium is wrong, but it takes the majority to change things.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2887382220113280558.post-23377316835647572882008-10-06T00:03:00.000-04:002008-10-06T00:03:00.000-04:00But not enough for some of the remaining members.....But <B>not</B> enough for some of the remaining members......Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2887382220113280558.post-20874235542457866422008-10-05T23:33:00.000-04:002008-10-05T23:33:00.000-04:00I have corrected the post to reflect the $360,000 ...I have corrected the post to reflect the $360,000 per YEAR total. Sorry for the confusion on that.<BR/><BR/>Had Pechanga done the right thing and enrolled all those that truly belong, as well as not done the unconstitutional act of disenrolling families, the per capita would still be in the $140,000 range per year. A tidy sum and much more than almost all had ever made in a year.OPechangahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10687743661360604165noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2887382220113280558.post-39960139952315522852008-10-05T22:50:00.000-04:002008-10-05T22:50:00.000-04:00“Affluenza”, a dreaded disorder caused by lack of ...“Affluenza”, a dreaded disorder caused by lack of character, moral fiber, and education.<BR/><BR/>Truly we can recognize it and define it, but can we contain it and control its consequence?<BR/><BR/>Scientist study diseases in order to manage its affect.

Instead of making the Pechanga tribe stronger by letting people that want to learn about their Indian heritage they refuse to let them in. Refuse to let them benefit from the health care, the college aide, the tribal school. Who knows maybe there are people in the moratorium that could actually provide some benefits for Pechanga. Its time there was a leader who wasn't so afraid of someone smarter and better fit for the position that he won't let anyone else into the tribe. This is not about self-reliance or inter-tribal matters like Pechanga and other tribes claim. This is about terminating Native's.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2887382220113280558.post-59855615070388078382008-10-05T16:35:00.000-04:002008-10-05T16:35:00.000-04:00yeah they do recieve 360,000...we recieved 250k be...yeah they do recieve 360,000...we recieved 250k before we were disenrolled. Disenrollments were about greed and power. The families that were disenrolled were indians. Sadly they disenrolled the two families that had their children on the right track by going to school and going to college. <BR/>They disenrolled proud Pechanga's and stuck with the criminal and unenlightendPechanga Member 1130https://www.blogger.com/profile/14888387287915444814noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2887382220113280558.post-20735451708797506042008-10-05T15:48:00.000-04:002008-10-05T15:48:00.000-04:00I don't believe the Pechanga members get $360,000 ...I don't believe the Pechanga members get $360,000 per month as you stated. Typo I am sure. <BR/>In the article, it states that only 3 members have graduated from high school since they started receiving per capita. With only 60 members, how many of them are of graduating age? If they are really not graduating, that is a shame and no reason is a good one for that. But hopefully those numbers aren't as bad as they seem.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
