Attached and pasted below is a letter to the House Resources Committee requesting that it hold oversight hearings on the growing problem of rights abuses in Indian Country and the lack of enforcement of the Indian Civil Rights Act of 1968. This request is made on the heels and is intended to support a similar request made by Congressman Mike Thompson (Dem-CA) on April 29, 2010 to Committee Chairman Nick Rahall (Dem-WV).
Please take the time to download, sign, and fax to the Committee. We must do our part to move the hearing forward and make it a reality and we need YOUR help.

Congress to Look into ENFORCEMENT of ICRA?
We are hearing that there will be a request for and oversight hearing into the enforcement of the Indian Civil Rights Act (ICRA)
With civil rights coming into focus, thanks to the AZ immigration law, it's high time that Congress have these hearings.
Due to the arbitrary and capricious actions tribes are taking against their own people. We hope to have confirmation of the request shortly. Indian Self Reliance was not meant to destroy Native Americans, which is what tribes like Pechanga, Picayune, Redding have done.
