Amy Deutske and Dale Risling of Bureau of Indian Affairs say Pala Disenrollee's Appeal Received on Time.

Of course the facts don't matter to the Pala Tribe, so the reaffirmed the termination. And Pala is looking at another 120 for disenrollment too. I'm sure it's because of blood levels and NOT the $13,000 each they'd be able to divvy up. Let's see, $13,000 x 128 is $1,664,000 that the remaining people would split..almost $20 MILLION more a year. Yes, it's the blood.....


The eight people, who are family members of former Pala Chairman King Freeman, filed an appeal with the Bureau of Indian Affairs on June 29, which bureau officials said was within the deadline.

However, for some unknown reason, the tribal council said the appeal was not filed on time.

"This (removal from the tribe) was voted upon by the Enrollment Committee at a duly called meeting of the Executive Committee, on Aug. 3, with a quorum present," Pala Chairman Robert Smith wrote in a letter dated Nov. 3. "The grounds for said action are failure to file your appeal with the Bureau of Indian Affairs within the time period prescribed by law."

Smith's letter contradicts a letter sent by the Bureau of Indian Affairs last month to the eight people saying the appeal was received on time.

"The eight appeals were received at the Pacific Regional Office on June 29, 2011 and were timely filed," according to the letter signed by Amy Dutschke, the bureau's regional director in Sacramento.

Dale Risling, the bureau's deputy regional director, confirmed last week that the letter was accurate and added that the agency was reviewing the case to issue its recommendation

HERE's a QUOTE FROM RISLING: Bureau of Indian Affairs Deputy Regional Director Dale Risling, based in Sacramento, said “quite a few” tribes are going through disenrollments currently.
He said his agency hears about most of them through the media, and not directly, since they don't usually have a role in settling the disputes because of tribal constitutions. “The ones that we really get are the ones that require our involvement.”

Soon to Be EX Governor Schwarzenegger Signs Compact with Thieves Of Pinoleville

Arnold Schwarzenegger, signed a new compact with the Pinoleville Tribe and Leona Williams. Here's what they did to some of their families (h/t TribalCorruption.com):

Pinoleville Rancheria
“Tribe stolen by Corrupt Tribal Officials”

I had planned to write to you about a corrupt tribal council that has stolen my tribe and retroactively stripped my ancestors of their legal identity as Native Americans. I was going to detail the manner in which they hijacked our Tribe for their own purposes, but after contemplation it, I thought better of it.

I decided that I am tired of telling the story of the injustices that I and my family have suffered over the last several years. I won't talk of the lies, the anonymous and illiterate hate mail, the fact that my children have been denied membership...and therefore Native American status under the law, the crooked elections, the ballots “counted” behind closed doors, the molestation of my constitution, the late-night death threats, the misuse of federal funds, and the general disgust I feel at being disrespected, unrepresented and denied the rights to participate in my own Indian community.

Nor will I detail how the corrupt thugs on Tribal Council responsible for protecting my human and civil rights violated those rights when they disenolled me and my family, or how the same thugs manipulated our constitution to exterminate my rights and the rights of all other Pinoleville Indian Community class members defined in the precedent setting Court ruling filed by deceased Pinoleville Indian Community member Tillie Hardwick. As a result of that ruling all California Rancherias enjoy Tribal status and the riches they receive from their Indian casinos.

I likewise decided against another protracted airing of my grievances concerning the US Federal Bureau of Indian Affairs officials that ‘shepherded’ our case to it's ultimate dismissal. I won't bore you with the tales of their failure to follow the US Federal Code of Regulations, their consistent refusal to provide information in a timely fashion, their illegal ex-parte communications with the Chairwoman’s faction during our administrative debacle, their legendary bungling of a completely insane 'General Membership' meeting called illegally by themselves under no authority in April of 2004, the manner in which the BIA Director Dale Risling conveniently misplaced a vital document original at that meeting, or any other of a number of acts on their part which range from hideously negligent to criminally suspect.
