| #StopDisenrollment |
A news story on tribal disenrollments and moratoriums had the perfect quote as a post title, from Carla Maslin, from the
Redding Rancheria of Northern California. 400 Pechanga People know exactly what she means, having been "raped" of their
citizenship,
benefits and security by Pechanga Chairman
Mark Macarro, the enrollment committee led by
Bobbi LeMere and certain members of the Tribal Council,
Russell "Butch" Murphy and Andrew Masiel among them.
From that article:
Tribal membership disputes are also a problem across the country, with as many as 4,000 tribe members fighting for enrollment, said Carla Maslin, a disenrolled member of the Redding Rancheria in Northern California and an advocate for disenfranchised tribe members.
Maslin's case has gone nowhere in tribal court, she said. "It's like being raped and going to the person who raped you for justice," Maslin said.
