The Cherokee Nation is suing the federal government in order to secure an accounting of its trust funds.
Citing dozens of treaties and agreements dating to the late 1700s, the tribe said it has never been provided with a proper accounting of the proceeds from land sales, oil and gas development and other activities. A dollar figure wasn't provided but similar cases have been settled for tens and even hundreds of millions of dollars.
“There is a strong desire for resolution of these breach of trust issues,” Chief Bill John Baker said in a press release. “This is long overdue, and the Cherokee people are owed their rightful assets and resources. It is my duty as Principal Chief to make sure the United States upholds their promises to our people.”
The complaint was filed in federal court in Oklahoma on Monday. It comes on the 231st anniversary of the tribe's first treaty with the United States.
"This legal action is necessary because the United States government managed and controlled the Cherokee Nation’s property but never in hundreds of years provided a full accounting as the law requires,” said Todd Hembree, the tribe's attorney general
More than 100 tribes have settled similar lawsuits with the Obama administration. As of late September, the total value has grown to $3.3 billion.
Many, but not all, of those cases had been filed toward the end of the Bush administration because tribes faced a critical deadline to assert their claims. The first big round of settlements arrived in April 2012 and dozens more followed over the years.
It can typically take years for a breach of trust case to reach a point where a settlement might be reached.

Fidel Castro Dead. why wait to overthrow Tribal Dictators
Good news that a tyrant is dead at 90. True story that only the good die young. Castro survived Kennedy by 53 years.
Do tribes really want dictators like Bob Kelly of Nooksack, Robert Smith of Pala, and Mark Macarro of Pechanga to stay in power that long?
THINK
SHAME that Castro lived to see Cuba opened....

Mark Macarro's Pechanga Tribe: Standing With STANDING ROCK, But NOT THEIR OWN. #NODAPL
I find some solace in the fact the the Pechanga Band of Luiseno Indians have gathered together for a photo of support of those real protesters/protectors of Sioux water rights and protecting sacred sites as we see here:
It makes hundreds of us wonder, WHY didn't they do the same for their OWN people? In fact, some of the yahoos in the back of the meeting room threatened to dig up our relatives from the Pechanga Cemetery. Do THEY really care about sacred sites? We wrote about Redding Rancheria Chairman Potter who went to Standing Rock a dozen years after he was part of a group that forced a family to disinter their mother and grandmother.
Is it because they feared speaking truth to power? Or, was it because they only thought of enriching themselves at the expense of so many elders and children of other families?
The first picture is eerily similar to the photo below, where the family of Lawrence Madariaga, my cousin,gathered to honor him after he walked on. Some of those in the 1st picture would come to Lawrence for help, for money, for diapers and milk, yet turned their back on he and his family when they needed REAL support, not a photo op. Or do we hope that it's a good start?
Here is a picture of Lawrence and Sophie Madariaga's granddaughters, ACTUALLY AT STANDING ROCK spending two full days with #NoDAPL protectors:

Find it in your heart Pechanga people, to DO the Right thing and bring ALL the people home, where they belong. You know how to find them...come to the reservation, there's a bunch of the family that live there...unlike you.

Would Trump's AG pick Jeff Sessions BE ANY Better on Native Civil Rights Abuse Than Lynch or Holder?
We have been asking our last two Attorneys General of the United States to have their civil rights divisions look into the civil rights abuses by corrupt tribes of their people for EIGHT YEARS. Crickets chirping was all we heard.
Today, on the Sunday news shows, Democrat minority leader Chuck Shumer expressed concern that new Attorney General choice Jeff Sessions would be concerning to him as a AG choice, because he's unsure if he would keep a strong civil rights division. While it may be true, the last two have done NOTHING for us. Maybe we are invisible to Shumer too.
Remember when we said abut HOLDER:
What is it about Holder? Is he all flash and no substance? He got America all riled up thinking he would get a civil rights case against George Zimmerman too, after he won his self defense case in the death of his attacker Trayvon Martin. Another EPIC FAIL, ERIC. The failure was not in NOT finding civil rights abuses...but in trying to pull the wool over our eyes in saying that there were.
Remember when we asked Loretta Lynch:
We have all seen the horrendous video of a young girl's violent arrest in South Carolina, which resulted in the firing of the police officer involved. The FBI and DOJ will be looking into the issue. WHY THEN, does the DOJ REFUSE to look into the violations of over TEN THOUSAND Native American's Civil Rights? Is the priority that which gets news coverage? If so, we must increase our efforts to make news.....
It's time for AG Loretta Lynch to investigate the Bureau of Indian Affairs. For failing to protect the rights of Native Americans, from abuse BY Native Americans. Please fax a letter.
We MUST start anew with Sessions if confirmed...or we can give up and sit on our hands...which MIGHT get results. The New York times is concerned about illegal immigrant rights and Sessions, but Native American civil rights? Not at all...

Native Justice: Letter To Senator John Barrasso, Committee on Indian Affairs Chairman, Asking For Field Hearings
U.S. Sen. John Barrasso is the chairman of the Senate Committee on Indian Affairs. (Twitter: @IndianCommittee and @SenJohnBarrasso) We NEED him to have hearings in Indian Country on the abuses of Native Americans, BY Native Americans.
The Wyoming Republican said when he took the leadership of the SCIA that he looks forward to working with others to pass legislation that helps improve the lives of people across Indian country.
Barrasso has already held field hearings in Wyoming and Alaska. Let's ask him to improve the lives of Native Americans by seeking justice.
Here is a letter than you could send the chairman:
Senator John Barrasso
30y Dirksen Senate Office Building
Washington, DC 20510
Main: 202-224-6441
Fax: 202-224-1724
Tollfree: 866-235-9553
Dear Chairman Barrasso,
A report by the Government Accountability Office (“GAO”) referenced the fact that internal tribal disputes “seem to be occurring more and more frequently”. Such disputes have resulted in the disenrollment, which is the stripping of citizenship in one's own tribe, banishment, denial of membership, loss of voting rights, and/or denial of health/medical benefits of thousands of Indians, including children and elders.
In response to the growing number of these types of disputes, the GAO felt it was necessary and appropriate that nominees to the Secretary of Interior be asked how they would address such issues. Since most of the civil and human rights abuses have occurred under Democratic leadership, I believe it is also important to know how your committee will work with individual Indians in trying to resolve or prevent such disputes.
The TRUST RESPONSIBILITY of the United States Government is NOT just to the chiefs, chairmen and tribal councils, it's to all Native Americans, and the Bureau of Indian Affairs has failed to uphold the trust responsibility to the individual Indian.
Your role as Chairman should be to help facilitate (1) internal tribal disputes that harm Native Americans and (2) the protection and preservation of individual Indians’ basic rights in internal disputes. The BIA has abdicated responsibility and are leaving it to the IBIA to overturn their decisions. In fact, the BIA may be culpable in some of the misdeeds, as we've seen in the San Pasqual descendants issue, where Indian Affairs has allowed NON natives to control tribal interests.
In addition, do you believe that tribal sovereignty and the protection of basic individual rights are mutually exclusive of each other?
Should sovereignty be wielded like a club to beat the weak and defenseless?
I eagerly await your response to the questions raised above, and look forward to you setting hearings for California, where the majority of disenrollments have occurred and finding true justice for all Native Americans who have been harmed by their tribes.
Respectfully submitted,
 |

Tribal Disenrollment, Nooksack Style: Dial 1-800 YOURESCREWED and ASK NO QUESTIONS
 |
| Bob Kelly Chief Justice of Nooksack Kangaroo Court |
Here are some excerpts of what is going on, I will ADD more as I get them:
NEW: Today I had my 10 minute telephonic hearing with the holdover council. I started by letting hem know that this disenrollment hearing is illegal. The council does not hold a quorum because the seats of Lona Johnson, Abbie Smith, Rick George and Kathernine Canete have expired in March of 2016. I then shared my oral history which must have struck a nerve because Bob Solomon tried to rudely interrupt me to tell me that I am screwing up his family tree. I reminded him that this is my 10 minutes not his and his job was to be quiet and listen. I stood firm in my ways, spoke from the heart and on behalf of my late mother and grandmother. I will not be bullied by a fake council and I am not scared to stand up to them and speak the truth. Our history is not made up, first of all we have our oral history and second we have the documentation to prove our Nooksack heritage. I am Nooksack, Will always be Nooksack and I will never leave Nooksack. You cannot take away our birthright.
I only got5 minutes of my 10 minutes for the charade conference call. My angle was questioning their morals, leadership, why a "teleconference" asked, why can't they face us with this?
...
And I went at them Spiritually with their lack of respect, pointing fingers at Nooksack elders is not our culture, our traditions states we are all one people, and I told them my Uncle George Adams (#307) said there is no word for "disenrollment" in the Nooksack language...I said, oh that's right you wouldn't know cause you wouldn't let him teach. Then I heard a "click"....
...
I just gotoff the phone on a 6 minute call. Rick George announced me and I told them who I was and enrollment #. I also asked them to speak louder because I am an elder of the Nooksack Tribe witout coucil because they denied me that right.
I am asked to announce myself and am told it is an closed meeting. Our lawyer Gabe Galanda was not allowed into the conference call. They do not announce themselves and tell me I have 10 minutes. No instructions. I informed them per the letter from the Secretary of Interior any actions after March 2016 are null and void and they could be sued for violating my rights for council. I asked if they received the letter dated yesterday from Larry Roberts and their response was "They are not here to answer any questions just to listen."
OP: This is shameful and looks bad on all Indian Country....please, share and spread the news of this outrage.
BIA LAWRENCE ROBERTS Refuses to Recognize Tribal Disenrollment Referendum of Corrupt NOOKSACK TRIBE
WELL NOW...BIA Director Roberts comes out BLASTING at CROOKED BOB KELLY of the corrupt Nooksack tribe.
Dear Chairman Kelly :
I have received your letter dated October 25, 2016. I want to reiterate that pursuant to our Nation-to-Nation relationship, the Department of the Interior (Department) will not recognize actions by you and the current Tribal Council members without a quorum consistent with the Nooksack Tribe's (Tribe) Constitution and decisions issued by the Northwest Intertribal Court System.
STOP BEING AN ASSHOLE (sorry, that was ME, OP)
I reiterate that elections or actions inconsistent with 1) the Court of Appeals' Order of March 22, 2016, in Belmont v. Kelly; 2) the trial court's decisions of January 26, 2016, and February 29, 2016; and 3) Nooksack law will not be recognized by the Department. Finally, with regard to your request to meet, I have asked my staff to make arrangements to meet with you at Nooksack tribal offices or in the Regional Office in the near future. Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions.

COMING TO STANDING ROCK? Hint: It's NOT a BURNING MAN FESTIVAL, Some GUIDELINES
I've heard from many people that with all the "helpers" coming to Standing Rock, many forget that they DO NOT SPEAK for the Sioux, a sovereign nation on this issue. #NoDAPL
It's NOT a concert, while appreciative of the support, they are NOT their to serve YOU. Take a look and share.
My cousins, who WERE there in September say:
Two stories I will relate from our time there. One, there was a woman in a white dress acting strange, she stood staring at the sky for about in hour in the road. Maybe that's how she prays in her culture? Two, there was a man who brought a bottle of whisky to the frontline on September 3, to keep warm. This was quickly poured into the outhouse so as not to pollute the ground. Upon returning from standing rock it was clear even natives here don't know much about the camp as we didn't before arriving.

SO you Want To BOYCOTT Some Indian Casinos? Here's a SAMPLE LETTER to send them
I've gotten so many comments about boycotting tribal casinos of tribes who disenroll their own people for cash. Well if you stop going, HOW WILL they know the reason, if you don't tell them? I've put together a sample letter than you can use to send to your choice of casinos to boycott, feel free to modify to your needs and fill in the blanks.
Dear (Insert Tribal Name) Tribe
I will no longer support tribal businesses that violates the civil and human rights of their people. Your tribes disgusting actions include:
•Stripping tribal members of their citizenship
•Denial voting rights to members
•Taking away rightful healthcare to seniors
•Blocked access to land on the reservation
•Denying members due process of law, including legal representation, even writing tools.
•Threatened others if they speak out
•Subjected some to ex post facto laws.
I choose to spend my entertainment budget on companies that support civil and human rights any yours obviously does not.
The action of stripping citizenship from American Indians is wrong. What is going on in casino tribes who disenroll is wrong. The casting away of Elders and Children IS NOT THE INDIAN way. Dancing on the graves of the ancestors, while increasing their per capita is worse.
Thank you for your excellent service in the past. If (Insert Tribal name) ever changes their course of action, stops wielding sovereignty as a club and brings all the people home, I will gladly come back to your tribal enterprise.
Don't be silent anymore! Be proactive. Share with your friends, ask them to do the same.

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

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...
