P E C H A N G A
Since the two disenrollments of large families from Pechanga in 2004 and 2006, one commenter on posts here and in other meetings come forth to spew the same tired lies about what went on.
Since we know who his is, we know he was not there for either disenrollment actions by council or committee. Therefore he either pulls the comments out of his ass, or maybe his sister told him some lies. I'll do a quick drive-by in bold
As a rule, the individuals who became disenrolled failed to meet the criteria for tribal membership. It's that simple. OP: Wrong, all criteria were met
In addition, as a matter of history, others have noted that disenrollment resolved longstanding concerns about the membership of the disenrollees. OP: Hearsay, including from an imprisoned child molestor, sworn testimony in Luieseno said different. People alive in our family's case
Disenrollment thus confined the tribal membership roll to individuals with verifiable facts and information for establishing their membership. OP: With another family, the tribe wouldn't dispute the verified facts, but simply said a 5 year old made the decision to cut ties. (You don't let a 5 year old, cut their meat with a knife)
