A quick call letting them know what you read here about how Pechanga has treated their OWN veterans, and this latest episode could lead to a larger group standing up for the rights of veterans and those of terminated Native Americans.

Pechanga Website SCRUBS Veterans Page: Almost Empty Without Hunters

It looks like the Pechanga Band of Luiseno Indians website has scrubbed it's page honoring Pechanga Veterans.  Yes, that page is NO LONGER available.   We wrote about Hunter Veteran Felipe Cuevas earlier. Interesting that Norman Pico Sr. was on that list, as was his neice.   Why would Pechanga do this?

Could this be because the majority of veterans were from the Hunter Family that was terminated from the Pechanga tribe?   You scrub the descendents of Paulina Hunter off the veterans list and you have very few remaining. Or, maybe Pechanga just doesn't care about veterans?

Maybe they need a Pechanga felons list, want to bet that list would be longer than the veterans?

Please pass this information on to Temecula area friends and family, and avoid Pechanga
