SAN PASQUAL DISENROLLMENT: ALTO Family Disenrollment UPHELD. Is Justice Served Here?

The appeals court has ruled in the Alto Descendants Case.  This is a long simmering case that we've posted on many times.  Is justice served? You decide

Read More about the case:

San Pasqual's Alto Family SUES BIA
9th Circuit Rules IN FAVOR OF ALTO FAMILY
Larry Echo Hawk Overturns his own BIA in Alto Family Ruling
BIA Ruling Reinstates Alto Family
Judge RULES in favor of Alto Family

In their ruling linked here:

Several documents support the finding that Maria Alto was not Marcus Alto
Sr.’s biological mother. The newly submitted 1907 baptismal certificate for
Marcus Alto Sr. lists “Benedita Barrios,” not Maria Alto, as his mother. Newly
submitted affidavits from Band members also support that finding, as does Maria Alto’s enrollment application from 1930, which states that she had “no issue.”

AND:

While we acknowledge that there are inconsistencies and inaccuracies in the
record, in light of our “highly deferential” standard of review for agency decisions,
see Nw. Ecosystem All. v. U.S. Fish & Wildlife Serv., 475 F.3d 1136, 1140 (9th Cir.
2007), we cannot say that Assistant Secretary Echo Hawk’s decision was arbitrary, capricious, or an abuse of discretion, 5 U.S.C. § 706(2)(A).

THE NIGC Should SUSPEND NOOKSACK TRIBE's Recognition and Right to Run Their Casino for DENYING Counsel to Nooksack 306

Nooksack Tribe is out of control and their constitution and rights should be SUSPENDED.   Here is a letter threatening noted attorney Gabe Galanda of Galanda Broadman for standing up for his clients.


Is this a 6th Amendment violation?   The Nooksack Tribal council is NOT recognized as legitimate...why are they still enjoying the benefits they are not entitled to?


Tribe Tells Nooksack 306 Woman: You GET NO STINKIN' CIVIL RIGHTS

A Nooksack woman facing eviction from her home on tribal land was given a few weeks’ reprieve by a Nooksack Tribal Court judge Wednesday, but could still face a fight to stay there.   Her attorney, Gabe Galanda wasn't allowed inside.  After kicking the tribe's ass in court for years, they refuse to allow him in court.

Read about the NOOKSACK CIVIL WAR 



While Margretty Rabang was inside the court fighting eviction without an attorney, about 30 people gathered nearby at the railroad tracks where First Street meets Deming Road in Deming.

Most of those present were members of three families who have been facing disenrollment from the tribe since late 2012, who call themselves the Nooksack 306. Others there were supporters.

Read more at the Bellingham Herald and watch the VIDEO here:


“My sister deserves representation!” an emotional Deborah Alexander told the officers. “How is it going to be fair if she has no attorney in there, and they have other attorneys in there?”

“She’ll have appeal rights. She can appeal it,” Gilliland said.

“Are you kidding me?” Alexander asked.

Galanda and Dreveskracht asked how she was supposed to appeal if the tribe wasn’t currently recognizing its own court of appeals. Apparently, kangaroo courts don't need rule of law, civil rights, or even a hint of the constitution...

Nooksack "Civil War" Rages on Facebook Pages. Humble Tribal People Hate the Rule of Law?

Amazing the lengths the Nooksack Tribe will go to lie, cheat, steal from the Nooksack 306.  I've attached a couple of pictures, which were posted on FB pages from the Nom de Plume of Keith Williams, purported to be on of the Nooksack Council, who won't go "on record"  Here they call themselves HUMBLE?



 

click to enlarge the pictures






AND the NOOKSACK 306 Response, taken from Facebook pages:

This is Pure"excuse my French"

BULLSHIT at its best! For one, this guy "Keith Williams"'is a fictitious person--Fake at its best! He wants to talk truth but writes under a fake name! 2 the Kelly Faction is not humble, and are definitely hateful to put it mildly... If not, tell me how come the 306 children were the first to be targeted---refusing them school clothes, school

Supplies and Christmas distribution for 4 years...when they aren't disenrolled? They are protecting the integrity of the membership? Wrong again... they are disrespecting our elder who enrolled the 306 back in the 80's with BIA approval...by calling them incompetent! Yes you are Keith by posting that in 2013 there was a more competent enrollment department put into place...Next they targeted our elders...Tell me how informing the elders and disabled they can no longer attend lunches and activities with the other elders is Not hateful? Not hurtful? No harm or damage? Really? And I'm sorry but Madeline Jobe was married to Our Dear Annie George's dad Matsqui George who yes eventually moved to Matsqui but was Nooksack... 


Keep in mind that there was no border so If you jump the invisible line next to the Nooksack Northwood Casino--guess what? Your in Matsqui... I'm sorry to bring my dear neighbor Char Swanaset's name into the picture but she and her children have always claimed us/the 306 as family... Her Great grandma was Madeline Jobe.. When my late Father Leonard Gladstone Teathquathul's great grandma passed Away 2 days after giving birth to his grandma Annie George, Madeline Jobe became her stepmomma.. Her and Matsqui went on to have other children--Annie's siblings.. So as you can see, my dad and Char Swanaset would be cousins because Madeline Jobe married Annie's father... The issue is that this Faction--yes Faction--refuse to accept any documentation except for a 1942 census... 

Our documentation clearly supports that Annie and her father were both Nooksack...

After World Series Loss, Cleveland Indians To Change Name to the CRACKERS. Offending Catholics is a Larger Market and May Turn the Tide

After a stunning defeat to the Chicago Cubs in the World Series, Cleveland Indians officials believe the defeat was the result of NOT offending enough people with their Chief Wahoo mascot.

Red Face Chief Wahoo
Doesn't offend enough people
 
"Hey, we were only offending SOME Indians" say Director of Operations, Stanley Honkie.  "It's time we went after a larger market and make our mascot something that can offend many more people" he continued. "It may lead to a better TV deal"

One new logo thought to be in the front running is the communion wafer.  If they call it a cracker, they can offend America's 100 million Catholics and their sympathizers.

Let's offend Catholics!
Stay tuned.....


*yes, of course it's satire......


Chukchansi Tribe, Missing $49 Million Dollars, STIFFS LANDLORD, Waived Sovereignty, GETS SUED

CAN the CHUKCHANSI tribe AFFORD to pay jackpots?  If they will cheat their OWN people, cheat their landlord...won't they cheat their customers?

Doesn't anyone ELSE wonder  WHERE IS THE MONEY? at the Picayune Rancheria of Chukchansi Indians?   We know there is $49 million or so missing from their coffers, money that should be going to programs for the tribe.

NOW, Marc Benjamin of the Fresno Bee has the story of them being stingy with the RENT.

A lawsuit, filed Oct. 28, said the tribe hasn’t paid $749,699 in late rent and interest dating back to April 2014 under its lease with River Palm Partners, owners of the River Bluff office park at 8080 N. Palm Ave. that overlooks the San Joaquin River bluffs.

Reggie Lewis' faction signed the lease AND a waiver of sovereign immunity:


A key issue in the updated lease is a “limited waiver of a claim of sovereign immunity” that the tribe agreed to.
“Otherwise we would not be able to sue them,” said Douglas Thornton, lawyer for River Palm Partners.
POOR REGGIE:

Lewis said he resents being blamed and said the new council has had nearly a year to resolve the lease issue with revenues from the casino. Those revenues weren’t available earlier, he said, and thus bills went unpaid.

BREAKING: Judge Patrick Shannon Rules AGAINST Saginaw Chippewa Disenrolled

We are getting reports from Michigan that the Judge Patrick Shannon's version of justice is...to not serve justice.

We know that this case was filed based on alleged due process violations that can impact the ability of the Tribal Members affected to receive a fair hearing and properly participate in all aspects of the cases against them, including discovery.

WHO NEEDS THAT, right?

We know  the OAH and Certifiers in this case's failure to suspend the proceedings against these Tribal Members while   this   case   was   pending   has   resulted   in   irreparable   harm   to   some   of   these   Tribal Members including the loss of their Tribal Membership, in violation of their due process rights and he Indian Civil Rights Act

WHO NEEDS LAWS right, or DUE PROCESS..when you can hope they DIE, waiting?

The story is developing...stay tuned...

Hillary Clinton and her Friend Donald Trump: NEITHER Are FOR #NoDAPL:

One more reason to be #NeverHillary and #NeverTrump
Friends think alike on #NoDAPL

TRUMP:
Republican nominee Donald Trump has invested his own money in Energy Transfer Partners, a private entity that's building the pipeline, and he owns stock in Phillips 66 Company, a publicly-traded company with a stake in the pipeline. He has vowed to lift "roadblocks" to large infrastructure projects like Dakota Access.

Hillary Clinton

The Democratic nominee, has refused to take a stand on the issue either way. Her campaign refused to meet with youth from the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe when they marched on her headquarters last Thursday.

"No one from the campaign wanted to talk to us. We called out for leaders from her campaign management," Danny Grassrope told Democracy Now! after the march in New York City. "And the security officers didn’t want to take the letter that we’re demanding to oppose this pipeline."
Was this her Native American Adviser Holly Macarro's advice?

After all, her husband's tribe STAND with STANDING Rock....even after harming their own people

AP: FUNDS for Native American "Land Buyback Program" WILL RUN OUT

The AP reports:

BILLINGS, Mont. (AP) — An ambitious effort to restore tribal control over huge areas of privately owned land on American Indian reservations is projected to run out of money with millions of acres still unaddressed, according to a U.S. government report obtained by The Associated Press.

The Obama administration established the "land buyback program" under a 2009 legal settlement that determined the government squandered billions of dollars it held in trust for tribes from royalties on oil and gas leases, grazing and other uses of Indian lands.

As part of that deal, federal officials agreed to spend $1.6 billion to purchase so-called fractionated parcels of land that have multiple owners, which makes them hard to sell or develop.

Yet more than 4 million acres potentially eligible for purchase will remain when the settlement money runs out in 2022, according to an Interior Department report.

The report was scheduled for public release on Tuesday. It was obtained in advance by The Associated Press.
To date the buyback program has paid out almost $900 million to purchase the equivalent of 1.7 million acres on more than two dozen reservations.
The eligible parcels expected to remain after the settlement money runs out collectively are worth several billion dollars, said Deputy Interior Secretary Michael Connor.

"We're making progress but there will still be a sizeable amount of acreage out there at the end of 2022," Connor said. "We thought it appropriate to start thinking through that long-term issue right now."

Interior officials said in the report they are considering asking Congress to make the program permanent so the land purchases can continue. A final decision will be made following consultations with lawmakers and tribal leaders, Interior officials said.

A spokesman for Wyoming U.S. Sen. John Barrasso, chair of the Senate Indian Affairs Committee, said the Obama administration emphasized when the case was settled that it needed only a 10-year window to accomplish its goals.
"It is important to address the issue of highly fractioned land in a manner that is fair to both the affected land owners and to tribes, while also demanding the requisite accountability from the administration," Danylak said.
Parcels of land bought through the program are transferred to tribal governments to be put to beneficial use — such as for home sites or business locations — or preserved as cultural or ceremonial sites

An 1887 law known as the Dawes Act split tribal lands into individual allotments that were inherited by multiple heirs with each passing generation.
The result has been that parcels of land on some reservations are owned by dozens, hundreds or even thousands of individual Indians. That makes it all but impossible to sell or develop the land because of difficulties reaching consensus among so many owners.

The legal settlement resulted from a class-action lawsuit brought by Elouise Cobell of Montana's Blackfeet tribe. Cobell, who died in 2011, successfully argued that Interior officials for decades mismanaged trust money being held on behalf of hundreds of thousands of Indian landowners.

Andrew Masiel, Pechanga's Civil Rights Abuser & Disenroller Democrat Candidate FOR State Assembly

Are Democrats scraping the bottom of the barrel for candidates with Andrew Masiel?

I noticed that readers were coming to my blog looking at a post about former Pechanga Band of Luiseno Indians Tribal Council Member Andrew Masiel Sr.  It was an unusually high number, so it set my curiosity meter off.   Masiel Sr. is the Democratic candidate for State Assembly.  Count me as #NEVERMASIEL

STATE ASSEMBLY MEMBER DISTRICT 75

ANDREW MASIEL SR. Democratic
43152 CALLE VENTURA
TEMECULA, CA 92592

Andrew Masiel Sr.
Democrat
Has he and the Democrats NO SHAME?  

The man who led the fight to disenroll HUNDREDS of Native Americans from his own tribe, leaving them outcasts on their own reservation, now under APARTHEID.

He didn't have the decency to look out for his own people,  recuse himself from sitting in judgement of his mother and aunt's decisions,  or even show up on time to our appeals hearings, now wants OUR support and votes for CA state assembly against Marie Waldron?  NOTE:  THIS IS NOT A PRO-WALDRON post, it is ANTI-Masiel.

Here are some of his disqualifications:

Saginaw Chippewa Tribe: We DON'T NEED NO STINKIN' Tribal Judge Patrick Shannon TELLING US.....GET OUT YOU SICK and OLD people Says Tribe

Sovereignty, being wielded like a CLUB to beat the weak and infirm at Saginaw Chippewa.   The Morning Sun News reports on the INJUSTICE from :

CHAIRMAN CLOUTIER is
SCUM

Gloria Narvais is terrified of what the future holds, and she isn’t alone.

Narvais, Kim Fisher, Sara Starkey, Angela Gomez and other descendants of the Fisher-Ortiz family were disenrolled by the Saginaw Chippewa Tribal Council at a meeting Tuesday - prior to when a Tribal judge was to rule on motions in a lawsuit filed by Ortiz descendants about disenrollment.  Add the SOARING EAGLE CASINO to one of the tribal casinos to avoid.

THANK GOODNESS for OBAMACARE:

Narvais, Fisher and Starkey all have serious health issues but no longer have access to the Nimkee Wellness Center, the physicians who treated them and the medical insurance provided by the Tribe.
Sitting in a Mt. Pleasant restaurant Friday, Narvais, who carries an oxygen tank to treat her interstitial lung disease, struggled to explain her feelings.

MONEY QUOTE:  But Tribal members who might sympathise with the group won’t criticize Tribal Council because “they’re afraid they’ll be next,” Fisher said.
Starkey, who is afraid she’ll have to give up her home, is at times stoic about her plight.

“I came into this world with nothing and I will leave with nothing,” she said. “I will make it through.”

RISE UP against this injustice

RAY HALBRITTER, Indian Country Today Owner, WHO BULLDOZED his FAMILY's HOMES...STAND with .....STANDING ROCK? PLEASE

We've posted some articles on some tribes that STAND With Standing Rock in their fight against oil companies tearing up sacred sites, while actually HARMING their OWN people, via disenrollment, evictions.  Redding Rancheria even FORCED a family to DIG up their relative....NOW...RAY HALBRITTER, owner of Indian Country Today, and, who decimated his own family.....using BULLDOZERS similar to those at Standing Rock...
HEY! Let's BULLDOZE my FAMILY!

Oneida Indian Nation Representative Ray Halbritter arrived at the Standing Rock Indian Reservation in North Dakota this morning, demonstrating the Nation's support for those who have been bravely standing on the front lines of the Dakota Access Pipeline conflict. Halbritter, on behalf of the Oneida Nation, will also deliver recording devices to protestors, empowering them to protect their freedoms through documentation of their treatment and to broadcast the dispute’s often shocking daily events for the world to see.
The Standing Rock Indian Reservation has been at the center of the battle over the 1,172-mile Dakota Access Pipeline, since it would endanger the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe’s water supplies and sacred sites as the tribe was not properly consulted on the route.  
RAY's FAMILY wasn't properly consulted on the destruction of THEIR HOMES...



SHAMEFUL, RAY

Nooksack REFUSES to Allow Tribal Member Deborah Alexander to Run for Council: Time to PULL Federal Monies?

BIA ruling doesn't mean NOTHING to NOOKSACK.  Why should it if they didn't accept the court rulings?   The BIA already ruled that ALL actions taken by unconstitutional council after March 24 are INVALID.  That would include disenrollments.


See the VIDEO HERE  showing KATRICE ROMERO refusing to give paperwork to Deborah Alexander, which would allow her to run for Nooksack council.

We reported on Lawrence Roberts decision excerpted here.  And you can read more about Disenrollment at the links below:
