I believed what I was being told by people I trusted. Their lies and trying to change our tribal council with false statements got us kicked out. Many of us were new to the tribe and just trusted blindly. What really bothers me is that those who lied to us now say they (We) are a new tribe. How can that be? This is not how you become a tribe and to make yourself Chairman. Smells in Paradise !

What??? He thanked Chairman (NOT !) Edwards for a wonderfully articulated letter. Luiseno what do you put in your Kool-Aid? Fact #1, this person is not a chairman of anything. Fact #2, this was written by Kandi Edwards. Fact#3,There is no Enterprise 1. Fact #4, I was one of the members that was disenrolled because I believed what I was being told.Fact#5,He was trying to over throw the Tribal Council at that time. Fact#6 His Greed to be the CHAIRMAN got a lot of trusting members disenrolled. Fact#7, To this day he is using the term "my tribe", there is no tribe in which he is a CHAIRMAN !! Fact#8, All he did was take sixty some members OVER A STEEP CLIFF.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2887382220113280558.post-8869106389878569452014-08-02T17:14:37.957-04:002014-08-02T17:14:37.957-04:00Now over 200 Band members kicked out of the band a...Now over 200 Band members kicked out of the band and recognition stripped so the others can say we don't recognize you. Would you really be here and have what you have if our Ancestors acted they way you do? Would the reserve be here if our Ancestors who gave recorded depositions lied or practiced apartheid acts with each other? The current band had a time to stop the greed behavior and allow "ALL" to follow custom and tradition and move forward. Instead the Bad Actors are trying to ignore historical facts and recreate to justify their Indian recognition justification.

Today however they Bad Actors are changing the thinking and the measures being discussed would effect "ALL" tribal sovereignty. The real truth is, no one in any nation would want a corrupt group of liars stripping others thinking it's ok. Our Ancestors where recognized, that's what made the Bands recognized. No one is more than anyone else, that's what the Bad Actors are lying about. The Bands don't always agree with the Bad Actors so they think stripping them of there rights and pushing them around is OK. What they forget is that's what created the reserves, our Ancestors faced that by others thinking they didn't have rights. Sad the Bad Actors think its ok to do it again from inside.

The sad part is the Bad Actors need to recognize "ALL" Just like they want to be recognized. If they can't recognize within, why should they be recognized by the outside? Why should the Bad Actors have more rights inside and outside the Band? The questions are there for "ALL" to see. No One is more deserving than anyone else, but the Bad Actors wanted to broadcast their lies to everyone inside and out. Must be your learning experience and are you ready for the truth to correct the mistakes, or should the Bad Actors correct it so the outside can see everyone is protected inside and outside? Your Ancestors created the Band, don't try and change that for greedy, corrupt behavior.

All allottees with water rights in this matter must be protected by representation that will look out for their best interests. That representation is misplaced in the hands of Pechanga tribal officials who have repeatedly stripped their tribal members and former tribal members of their most basic rights.<br /><br /> We respectfully request that the Subcommittee on Water and Power defeat HR5413 until it is amended to include reference to the Temecula Band and/or Indians in order to protect the rights of all Temecula Indians.<br /><br /> Sincerely,<br /><br /> Robert Edwards, Chairman<br /> Indians of Enterprise No.1<br /><br /> Thank you Chairman Edwards for your support in opposition to HR5413 Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2887382220113280558.post-21053542062386212992014-07-22T12:14:01.722-04:002014-07-22T12:14:01.722-04:00The truth also is the Bad Actors liars club may ge...The truth also is the Bad Actors liars club may get the exact treatment broadcast back at them from the outside.
