Dear Mr. Iglesias,
We are writing this letter in the hope that you will cancel your show at the Pechanga Resort and Casino, scheduled for October 6.
I’d like to make you aware of the disgraceful actions that
are happening on the Pechanga Reservation.
The Pechanga Tribal Council, led by Mark Macarro, has stripped the
citizenship 25% of Pechanga Tribal Members, including the descendents of the
original chief of the Pechanga Tribe.
They most recently disenrolled the Paulina Hunter descendants. Paulina Hunter was an original allotee of Pechanga
and her family still resides on the reservation, where apartheid is still practiced, 18 years after it was abolished in South Africa
I am sure that the decimation of culture, history and
beliefs are not within your value system.
Stand with the disenrolled members of Pechanga. There may be a protest during your
performance date and we are informing the entertainment press about the request
for acts not to perform at Pechanga. We
all enjoy your show and performances and would love to watch your show,
elsewhere. Please do not do your show
at Pechanga. Tell the PDC that you won’t
play at a location that violates the civil and human rights of it own people
Thank you for your support.

I have included some information with this packette, but
your team can check the website Original Pechanga’s Blog at http://originalpechanga.com
Respectfully,
