"Indian Law" abrogates aboriginal rights...

The opening paragraph:"
He started out in a tent at the reservation at Wounded Knee, S.D., an
idealistic young lawyer defending Indians' rights. He evolved into a
champion for Indian casinos – a towering political figure who cut
deals with California governors and helped give birth to a $7
billion-a-year industry." suggests a press release; a commercial.
"Indian Law" is a tool used to decimate Indians' best interests.
Dickstein, Levine, Goldberg, Cohen, et al, did not just 'happen to be
in the right place at the right time.' How did shysters worm their way
into Indian Country? Cabazon decision was a victory for Indian
Country. However, Washington, via Senate Committee on Indian Affairs,
created an illusory number of 'controls' to continue to subjugate the
Indians inherent rights to conduct their business without
Washington's approval.
Lanny Davis;powerful shyster; Washington insider, opened the door wide
to welcome his special compadres aka 'Indian Law' to infiltrate Indian
Country to place choke chains of control in Indian Country. The
Indian Gaming Act was just another filthy machination used to diminish
Indians' rights. In effect, the Gaming Act illegally shifted Indian
Country's 'sovereignty' to States. Dickstein and his fellow shysters
are direct beneficiaries of lawless laws. They were intentionally
ruthless to use their feigned 'affinity' of sympathetic connection
with Indians to infiltrate Indian Country.
Wink! wink! Dickstein;et al never represent the 'best interests' of
Indians. Dickstein represents casino interests which use the
shams;shells of Indians to conduct non-Indian 'business' with full
Washington political 'cover.'
Indian Country did not have to 'cut' deals with governors. It is all
fiction. Who knew? Washington, States,
governors......and.....
shysters;aka "dictators of 'banana republics."
Who didn't know? Oy vey! Indians!
Howard Dickstein, you lie! you know very well your statement, "I'm not
the dictator of a banana republic" is a LIE –" that's so insulting to
the tribe." Well, the "that's so insulting to the tribe." is TRUE!
Oy vey! Dickstein, Goldberg,Levine, Cohen....Lanny Davis...hidden
hands...Shame! So not Torah!
Dickstein, Levine, Goldberg, Cohen!

Hello anonymous,(Willie is corrrupt himself)I will tell it. The worst
thing I ever did in my entire life was allow Andrew Smith to get away
with ending that child's life. I was misled by Robert and acted to
protect the sovereignty of the Tribe and prevented the County from
coming and doing a thorough investigation of the incident. Later
Robert told me the truth about the occurrence. I have not felt the
same since. If you want to add to my incidence of corruption please
do. I have nothing to hide like most of you. So tell the world what
is is that you believe about me from the things Robert has told you.
You can't even think for yourselves anymore.

Willie Pink, you aided and abetted criminal acts using sovereignty as
a shield to protect criminals.
You need to make amends. You owe that innocent child an honest
accounting to police of what happened.
Better late than never, Willie Pink.
Do you still believe shielding criminals using the sham of sovereignty
worth the loss of your soul?

Last Anonymous,
I agree that Willie Pink should give an accounting of what he knows to
the authorities, but I don't think he had intention to aid and abet.
He himself seems to have been misled as to whatever events happened,
and whatever information he has is what he has been told.
Even if he does go forward now, the Tribal council will just have
their spokesperson claim sovereignty and the authorities may not be
able to investigate.
Anything like that probably should have been handled by tribal law enforcement.

One of the posters mentioned that Tribal Security should have taken
care of it. If memory serves me right, Andrew Smith's Uncle Booty was
the Tribal Security at the time of the child's death. So once again,
family influence to cover up. I remember the stories flying around at
that time, one of the main was that Andrew had killed this baby, but
no one came forth and told the truth. Why? I don't know other than
they were worried about retaliation. Andrew Smith is and was a well
known drug dealer, but nothing is ever reported.
At the time of this child's death he (Andrew) was full on into meth
and God knows what else. Instead of covering his actions, his family
should have had him answer for what he did and serve the time he
should have. Instead they chose the enable him, and he has NOT
changed.

What a joke...Picayune and Table Mountains "keep the promise"...Mark Macarro of Pechanga's "honoring the trust"....GIVE ME A BREAK!!!
Picayune has "kept the promise" to NO-ONE--NOT the voters (who approved prop. 1A under the premise it would help ALL Indian people), NOT the mountain community (promised jobs and income) and MOST of all NOT the Chukchansi people (promised programs to help ALL Chukchansi people, NOT the mass disenrollment of over a THOUSAND Chukchansi people--over HALF the tribe, while tribal "leaders" (allegedly) embezzle tens of millions of dollars from tribal programs and the casino!!!)
and Pechanga? Disenrolling their Pechanga people, breaking promises to not develop sacred sites, failing to uphold the tribal, civil, and human rights of hundreds of their people? "honoring the trust"? The only thing honored by Pechanga and Mark Macarro is the almighty dollar $$$
SHAMEFUL!!!!
Monday, October 20, 2014
Tribal self-governance is a process that continues to be a struggle among some of the 566 federally recognized tribes resulting in tens of millions of taxpayer dollars misappropriated according to an independent Associated Press review.
TheAP review, through obtained internal tribal audits and documents, has found that tribal governments, schools or housing authorities had 1 in 4 material weaknesses in their federally funded programs creating opportunities for abuses. That figure is drastically higher than the 1 in 20 rate for nontribal programs.
The review points to multiple reasons leading to the misappropriations, including theft or fraud, but the auditors suggested the majority of it was due to mismanagement. This is often a result of unqualified handlers controlling the millions of federal dollars the tribe receives each year.
Sergio Maldonado, a Northern Arapaho member and diversity coordinator at Central Wyoming College in Riverton told the AP that there are four goals for a successful tribal government – “academic preparation, professional experience, a collective consensus for the benefit of the tribe and an ethical set of guidelines.”
However, for the last two years the Montana Guardians Project has been at the forefront of fighting against corrupt tribal governments.
Michael Cotter with the Montana United States Attorney’s Office heads the Guardians along with close cooperation with the Federal Bureau of Investigation and Internal Revenue Service.
He says, “As the [Guardians] developed, the U.S. Attorney’s conclusions that a serious public integrity issue existed was validated – repeatedly – by complaints from residents of Indian country who knew that much of the money coming to the reservation community was not getting to the people it was designed to help.”
In 2013 alone:
--On the Crow Indian Reservation, seven were convicted in a double billing scheme totaling more than $500,000 dollars. And not just money was the cost as ultimately a priceless sacred bison site was dug up under the schemers’ watch as they were in charge of the tribe’s Tribal Historic Preservation Office.
--In north central Montana’s Rocky Boy reservation, construction was halted for a $361 million water pipeline project after five indictments of tribal members allegedly claimed $311,000 diverted from $33 million in stimulus money received via shell companies and money launderingaccording to theMissoulian.
--Further west on the Blackfeet reservation, a $9.3 million Po’Ka Project designated to help at risk youths through 2005-2011 became defunct after years of mismanagement theBillings Gazettereported. There was allegedly $4.6 million lost over those years via doctored invoices to make it seem as if the program was still efficient among other kickback schemes, according Cotter.
But the Guardians aren’t the only ones demanding accountability. This year 5 of 7 Montana tribes were represented by a loose coalition of tribes against corruption in early October – while the other two tribes expressed interest in joining theHavre Daily News reported.
One of those fighting against local corruption, Byron Farmer, was actually arrested for a July “Blackfeet Against Corruption” Facebook page post lambasting his tribe’s government.According to theMissoulian,15 officers came to arrest him on a July trip to his home reservation.
After spending five days in jail, he was apparently vindicated in his Facebook postings as five people were indicted in the alleged Po’Ka Project scheme just a few weeks later in early August.
“Americans may not understand the mysterious inner workings of Indian country, but they sure as hell understand what free speech is.“ Farmer says. “My arrest was the trigger that finally swung around the big national media spotlight to shine right on the Blackfeet Reservation, where it caught tribal leadership speechless, embarrassed, and scurrying.”
