San Diego's Indians push No Trespassing law
There are so many who have been disenrolled that are in worse shape than me and my family. We are talking about elders, in their 80's who lost their health care and status as Indians. There are many tribes the do well for their people. It's tribes like Pechanga that stain others with their actions. Pechanga had to spend so much more money than the other 3 tribes did in the recent election, because even THEY weren't sure that the people trusted them. Remember, that this isn't like kicking people out of a country club. We have been in the tribe for centuries and a faction was able to gain power and use it for....well, evil. Google Original Pechangas Blog for more. There is a lot of information in the archives. Please stop this bill!— July 5, 2008 1:46 p.m.
San Diego's Indians push No Trespassing law
Many forget that many of the California tribes are based on lineal descent. Pechanga law says one must trace their ancestry to an Original Pechanga Temecula person. That is, unless they don't like the way you vote, or you are not controllable. Then you get disenrolled. The tribe's OWN hired expert proved our family was Pechanga and the disenrollment committee did not take his report into consideration. Tribes are wielding sovereignty like a club and that will cause the continued erosion of it. Our elected officials need to quit looking for the money and do what is right and this bill is NOT right. It allows the tribes to keep us off the land that President McKinley gave to us in 1895 as true Temecula people. Gloria Romero should worry about her own district. How about building a prison in Los Angeles Gloria? That way, the perps that will be indicted from Pechanga shortly, will be close to home. My blog has more on Pechanga— July 4, 2008 8:56 a.m.
