I am sure my family...I really feel for this woman. I am sure my family would not let this happen to one of our elders. We would ask them to come and stay with us. This is the Indian way we look to our elders for guidance and wisdom. Shunning and disrespect of our elders is an attitude of the dominate culture. It is most difficult for Indians who are without a tribe to live in a manner and tradition that teaches the next generation what it means to live in a community. We have lost this even in our own families, for we are separate with our goals and actions. This is seen even in this fight against the corruption of the casino councils. Their advisers and lawyers know that to beat the enemy you must create division within.

To the anonymous comment on January 16th at 4:28, you are correct in stating "non-indians are stealing from the true people." I know this first hand, and sadly those with the authority to stop it turn a blind eye or are deeply ensconced in theft as well. Pechanga Resort and Casino is a prime example of this.H.

Lots of tribal members approved of casinos because they wanted better for their people. Now it is a catastrophe, where non-Indians are stealing from the true people, and Leaders are handing it out right and left to anyone who supports them and empowers them, and Lawyers are laughing at the whole thing while they teach the leaders how to destroy their tribes, ignore their own constitutions, eliminate term limits, cheat in voting, and disenroll members whose descendants were full blooded members. They have ripped us of our heritage, our sense of belonging. They threaten us, they mock us, they taunt us, and they try to forget us. We will not be forgotten or ignored, we will see justice!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2887382220113280558.post-84466664816461441992015-01-16T01:25:57.035-05:002015-01-16T01:25:57.035-05:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.TOM BRICE, GOD BLESS AMERICA https://www.blogger.com/profile/07556141565925594752noreply@blogger.com
