SUPREME COURT RULES The Chief has just announced that Carpenter v. Murphy will be restored to the calendar for reargument next term.  WHAT THE F**K??  The oldest case on the docket and they kick the can down the road on the last day?


Anticipation has been building on this treaty rights  case for months. Oral arguments in Carpenter v. Murphy took place on November 27, 2018, making it the oldest case on the docket without a decision.   The decision will be TODAY, the last day for this session of the court.

PRCI continues SHAMING their "tribe"

The Picayune Rancheria of Chukchansi Indians, who are the most egregious perpetrators of disenrollment this century, continues their shameful ways. Reports coming in from Coarsegold, CA that their are more disenrollments on the way.

The #stopdisenrollment movement has been shining a spotlight on the abuses of native Americans that we've been reporting on for a dozen years.  The exposure hasn't stopped tribes like Chukchansi from exterminating their own people, to enrich those remaining.

Standing next to Pechanga tribal chairman Mark Macarro, who systematically mistreated 25% of his tribe, neglected the children and allowed violent felons to control the narrative, Governor Gavin Newsom today issued an apology through executive order on behalf of California to California Native American Peoples for the many instances of violence, mistreatment and neglect inflicted upon California Native Americans throughout the state’s history.

Like a good lackey, California Attorney General Xavier Becerra Took Nearly $300,000 From Tribal Casinos, Now His Agency is Paying Them Back Even human and civil rights violators are OK

The National Park Service announces grants in the millions to preserve their history. But they give money to tribes that abuse the LIVING, and have disrespected their own dead via Tribal Disenrollment

ELEM, PALA, PECHANGA, PICAYUNE, PINOLEVILLE, SAN PASQUAL and SHINGLE SPRINGS among the recipients of grants of $50,000 or more in order to "locate and preserve artifacts".  We just wrote about Pechanga usurping the Gabrieleno Tongva people's ancestor's remains.    Perhaps these disenrolling tribes should worry about preserving their most valuable resource--their Indian PEOPLE--first. It wouldn't take much time, energy, or money to locate the thousands of living indian people, from whom their corrupt tribal governments have stolen their very birthright through disenrollment and moratoriums.  BONES shouldn't be more important than people

Here is a list of disenrolling tribes at the amounts our government granted:

Hey, let me do a little target practice around your house. Rather than a firing range like all responsible gun owners.   The NRA would want you to be responsible, the Nooksack Tribe, apparently is okay with shooting guns around homes, as long as it's the home of someone suing their police.

Rabang Family with Attorneys from Galanda Broadman

Attorney's argue whether there is RICO jurisdiction on intra tribal dispute.  The Nooksack Tribe's attorney argues RICO shouldn't apply. GB attorney Anthony Broadman argues that it should because Nooksack tribal election was NOT legitimate.

Congratulations to NATIVE AMERICA CALLING for 24 years on the air today. Proud to have been a caller on a couple of their shows on disenrollment.   We have a story below from April 2016, including a link to the show.

The 3-year-old boy who could upend a 40-year-old law aimed at protecting Native American children barreled into the suburban living room, merrily defying his parents’ prediction that he might be shy.
