Band together to stop dysfunction, or bury your head in the sand and ignore it.<br />Violent acts will not be ignored, and the pot is boiling now. The story will be told in 100 years. What's it gonna be? We ignored Apartheid or we Did not support it? The book is being written today, and is continued daily.

Indians from other tribes will take notice and will begin to band together and grow in strength to get rid of the corrupt leaders in other tribes. If you are federally recognize then no matter what you do you are already dealing with the Federal Government, with grants, healthcare, commodities, and allotted land, and I challenge you to give all of that up on April 1, no more help at all, lower your blood degree and make sure the BIA knows that you have done this,even if they have proof that your degree is higher,if you work for the tribe walk away from your job, if you receive per-capita, offer it up to charity, if you have free health care then turn it down, if you live on your reservation then pack and move, if your family is there say goodbye to them, if your ancestors are buried there expect to not be able to visit their graves ever, in fact expect to not be welcomed back on your reservation again, starting April 1st, tell your people that you no longer want to be part of them, do absolutely nothing that has to do with your tribe and continue living that way until all of the disenrolled across the country are re-enrolled, I guarantee you will have a different opinion, and your tribe cannot let you back in and they treat you with disdain telling everyone in the tribe that you never belonged and they laugh at you for your hardship, and taunt you with names. Then comeback on this blog and complain to us, or join in the fight with us.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2887382220113280558.post-74797635384643705152014-03-05T22:32:21.132-05:002014-03-05T22:32:21.132-05:00March 5, 2014 at 4:21 PM

Things are only as good as the effort put into the good. All I hear is about how much Money and perks tribal leaders get... all that says is that you are as greedy as the people you say you despise for acting out of greed and corruption... I don't think you would be any different with the attitude you have expressed.... Go look in a mirror and ask yourself if you are above the things you say you are against... you might have a hard time answering that.<br /><br />And the rest of you... you really think BIA is our "Friend" or the Federal Governement? if you do your kidding yourself, your asking them to get in the middle of our tribes and tell us what is right and wrong.... your asking for more than you think... How bout this,, we just all agree to disband and just live as fee humans... We didn't need constitutions and Bylaws or Blood quantum or the IRA to tell us who we were... if all we do is argue now... let it all that we have pass on it's not worth this ugliness that you all continue on.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2887382220113280558.post-83093728946683581092014-03-04T16:49:38.509-05:002014-03-04T16:49:38.509-05:00"Karma Karma Karma"

In many instances the bands have been forced into illegal actions by factions who are willing to do anything and expect it to be a "internal matter." The truth is shown to anyone when asked and they clearly see the Indian Way has been lost by corrupt factions in the Band. Fix the lies and misinformation and bring back the Indian way internally.

What does make the tribal leaders think they are better than the members? They get the suites in the Casinos, they get comped money to gamble at the Casinos, they get to use the tribal jets, they get all the perks and only let ass kissers join in once in a while.

It is a contrived excuse they use when they don't want to help people who are being harmed by their tribal leaders.<br /><br />The BIA is bound by Federal Law, Federal Regulations, Federal Court Decisions, and their own rules and procedures. The pretense that they must follow tribal when dealing with tribes is a smoke screen they use.<br /><br />Don't believe a word of it!<br /><br />Also Kevin Washburn has proven that he is a much better lawyer than a politician. His decisions are insults against Indians and Indian Country. He spends all of his time bending over backwards to please tribal leaders. <br /><br />Time to end the reign of the BIA. The entire agency is corrupt. They haven't got a clue as to how to manage sovereign tribes. They let the tribal leaders walk all over them, and have zero compassion for the tribal members who get harmed. <br /><br />Sending grief counselors is bullshit. Holding tribal leaders responsible for their actions and speaking out against abuses would be a step in the right direction. <br /><br />Everybody ask themselves: What makes a tribal leader more important than a tribal member? They are not royalty. They are employees.
