Years ago, the #stopdisenrollment visual advocacy campaign was started by Indigenous Attorney Gabe Galanda and others. There was no event this year and we wanted to remind our readers that the webpage is STILL UP. Please take a look
Off TOPIC for this post, but, my longtime friend's son Bubby Rossman, a picher makes and unassisted double play. PLEASE watch and share with your sports minded friends
We are working on a post about the trauma that the Redding Rancheria cause the Foreman Family when they forced them to exhume their ancestors, but look at what we found on their Twitter page, the Redding Rancheria states:
The Redding Rancheria Tribal Government has been active in the #notyourmascot movement #proudtoplayourpart #shastacounty pic.twitter.com/n8RCDdZ63Q

So they are proud to stand with the #notyourmascot issue, but silent on the #stopdisenrollment issue. They choose the low hanging fruit of sport team nicknames hoping to avoid the spotlight we've shone on them for a dozen years now.
IF they were really concerned about the harm to Native youth, they would look WITHIN their own and bring their people home.
PISS off, Jack Potter Jr.
Native American tribes looking for Federal Recognition have to jump through MANY HOOPS and show mountains of PROOF to be federally recognized. The 35 page PDF is HERE but here is an example of what they need below.
Shouldn't tribes that disenroll their people have to show SOME proof that can be evaluated before US Indian affairs De-RECOGNIZES Natives?
a. Proposed Elimination of Current
‘‘Criterion (a)’’ and Requirement for
External Observer as an Independent
Criterion
b. Proposed Criterion (a), Requiring

| Former Senator Barbara Boxer |
Earlier today former Senator Barbara Boxer was assaulted in the Jack London Square neighborhood of Oakland. The assailant pushed her in the back, stole her cell phone and jumped in a waiting car. She is thankful that she was not seriously injured." We wish the elderly former Senator a speedy recovery, something so many of our elders are denied.

There is NO pathway for redress at this commission. People will make comments but should their comments be...document, refer to other group external to our group.
The Pechanga leader has a point. But this commission on Truth and Healing is exactly what thousands of aggrieved Indians need. to be heard, whether non federally recognized, or those disenrolled, some without due process.
WE WISHED HE WOULD Have Stood UP AGAINST the OPPRTESSION of PECHANGA RESORT CASINO Tribe, which runs and apartheid/segregation reservation in TemeculaPitbull Cuban American Rapper
We need to stand up, step up. But if you don't understand what's going on, then you need to wake the f— up," PITBULL Also he said, This is about unity, not division. And bottom line, this is about taking action."
WE AGREE on the issue of Cuba and he hope he puts these thoughts into action by NEVER Performing at a Tribal Casino that has disenrolled their own members. He performed at Pechanga Resort Casino July 21. So does he REALLY care about human and civil rights? Or is it only CUBAN civil rights?
WE wrote about Castro when he died in 2016. We've also asked other performers NOT TO PERFORM, like Gabriel Iglesias Johnny Mathis Jill Scott We hope to have success, one of these day.
MEANWHILE, Pitbull, we will continue to stand with YOU against the oppressors of Cuba.
After a decade of pressure to end the mascotry targeted to Native Americans, the Cleveland GUARDIANS will be the new name for the Ohio baseball team
Cleveland’s Major League Baseball team is changing its name to Guardians, the franchise announced Friday, dropping the racially offensive name it has been known as for more than a century.
The name Guardians is a reference to well-known Art Deco statues located on the Lorain-Carnegie Bridge, which spans the Cuyahoga River and connects downtown Cleveland to the city’s trendy Ohio City neighborhood. Those statues are known as the “Guardians of Traffic.”
The franchise, which announced the name change in a tweet Friday morning, had long faced pressure from activists locally and nationally to ditch the name “Indians,” which critics said was racist.
The video announcing the name change did not say when it goes into effect. However, MLB.com reported that will happen for next season. The 2021 season is currently underway, with the Cleveland franchise in second place in the American League Central.
