Feds Can't Shake Tribes Suing for Accounting

     WASHINGTON (CN) - The federal government cannot dismiss claims over its handling of tribal trust accounts, a federal judge ruled, advancing a lawsuit by the Sisseton Wahpeton Oyate of the Lake Traverse Reservation and nine other federally recognized tribes.
     "The federal government has held funds and assets in trust for American Indian tribe beneficiaries for well over a century," U.S. District Judge Thomas Hogan wrote. "Unfortunately, the federal government has failed to discharge its fiduciary duties in its role as trustee for the tribes, and those trust accounts have been mismanaged for almost as long as they have been in existence."
     The 10-page decision notes that the plaintiff tribes that the government still has not fulfilled the responsibility it owes in providing them "a complete and accurate accounting" of their trust accounts.
     Though the secretaries of the U.S. Departments of the Interior and the Treasury contended that the court lacks jurisdiction, Judge Hogan disagreed Thursday and refused to dismiss the case.

Mr. Joseph Montoya,

We are now objecting and opposing your/US NAVY illegal defective determinations as published in
Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 38 / Thursday, February 26, 2015 / Notices -
We were illegally excluded and illegally not contacted for required tribal consultation under SEC 106 NHPA, NAGPRA, AIRFA,NEPA.

We are on the NAHC contact list and the US NAVY either illegally did not contact NAHC for the ISLANDS descendant of which I am a lineal descendant or US NAVY committed statutory discrimination in excluding me/TATTN on any consultations and notices, in which we object and oppose.

We also assume Laura Miranda a NAHC staff person and a Pechanga claimed member may have illegally interfered with the process as the notice does not describe how the US NAVY suddenly gave sole consultation to Pechanga-

We also take offense and exception on the US NAVY'S erroneous assumptions on these determinations all of which we object and oppose to completely as false and defective. quote-

We also take offense and exception on the US NAVY'S erroneous assumptions on these determinations all of which we object and oppose to completely as false and defective. quote-
/// Determinations Made by the U.S. Department of Defense, Department of the Navy Officials of the U.S. Department of Defense,

Department of the Navy have determined that:

• Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(9), the human remains described in this notice represent the physical remains of 469 individuals of Native American ancestry.

• Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(3)(A), the 436 objects described in this notice are reasonably believed to have been placed with or near individual human remains at the time of death or later as part of the death rite or ceremony.

• Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(2), there is a relationship of shared group identity that can be reasonably traced between the Native American human remains and associated funerary objects and the Pechanga Band of Luiseno Mission Indians of the Pechanga Reservation, California.

The claim of the "protestors" cannot be properly represented by the OHA as it is a state agency set up to neuter all such claims in protection of the royal land trusts/the state/the public.

Ray Muhammad:

By definiton, the "black" man and the "white" man are mythological creatures of opposites and since a myth is a belief in something that cannot be proven, there is no such thing as a "black" man and a" white" man. Mankind is not divided into "races", a 17th Century invention and psychological strategy accompanying the rise of European hegemony in the world but exist on a national or tribal social level. It is distressing when scholars who should have the highest regard for the power of words on the mind should be brainwashed into embracing and institutionalizing the words black and white to define human beings and in the process dismissing the essence of the human being, his mind and soul and perpetuating the psychology of the architects of American Institutional Racism(A.I.R.).

"One of the most famous statements Lumumba ever made..."

"One of the most famous statements Lumumba ever made, as he spoke to the opening session of the Pan-African Congress in August 1960, explained that "no matter what standards of living the colonized enjoy," the anti-colonial struggle was "to restore the dignity of…people." He added, "Our aim is to restore Africa's cultural, philosophical, ethical, and social values, and to safeguard our resources."

Webster and Scott speak in a similar powerful voice, calling for Native peoples "to maintain who we are and remain distinct in our tribal nations."

Lumumba described the effort to undo colonialism—what Webster and Scott refer to as "dedication to success in our own tribal institutions"—saying, "We…have to review everything we had done, and think everything through again by ourselves…. We knew that we would have to…revise the methods that had been forced upon us, and above all to rediscover our most intimate selves and rid ourselves of mental attitudes and complexes and habits that colonization had trapped us in for centuries."
