Disenrollment Demands Serious Attention from ALL SOVEREIGN NATIONS, Including the Federal Government

Attorney Ryan Seelau had an essay in Indian Country Today  in 2013 on the issue of the harmful action of tribal disenrollment foisted upon thousands of Native Americans by their own tribes.  How much has changed? Graton Rancheria has ended disenrollments, Enterprise Rancheria and the Robinson Rancheria have brought people home where they belong.   Still, 11,000 are without justice, and tribal people are either unwilling or afraid to DO THE RIGHT THING.......what is the answer?

Before I go any further, let me be very clear about something.
