Thousands of Native American Indians are illegaly being kicked off reservations and kicked out of tribes all over the US!
Dis enrolled, Dis enfranchised, Exiled, whatever you want to call it, it’s happening to thousands of Indians across America. Apparently what the whites FAILED to do, money, or at least the love of it, is now accomplishing.
Thousands of Native Americans are being kicked out of their tribes. Many of these outcast Indians have proven beyond a shadow of a doubt through genealogy, historical documents and deeds and other documents that they are members of their tribe but all to no avail. These Indians without a tribe and without land are being kicked off of the reservations, kicked out of the schools, exiled and ostracized.
In some cases, the tribal councils own efforts to prove they are not of direct lineal decent have proven that the subjects ARE of enough blood to be a member, sometimes even more blood than the accusers.
What would cause entire families of Indians to be uprooted from their homes where they have lived their entire lives, some who even built the homes they lived in, to suddenly be kicked out? What would cause tribes all over the country to start kicking thousands of it’s own members out into the street with no recourse for appeal or even a trial of any type? according to the tribes, [it’s] “Citizenship decisions are an integral and important process the tribe uses to preserve our lineage” Critics say that it is all about money. It’s simple math; The more Indians are kicked out, the greater casino allowance for the remaining tribal members.
One has only to look at Mark Macarro and the Pechanga conflict or Stanley Crooks and the Shakopee Mdewakanton Sioux to see clearly the amount of favoritism, injustice and Tribal Corruption that is running rampant all across the United States, or at least wherever there are casinos involved.
Members of some tribes make 30+ thousand dollars per month per person. Yes, that means a family of 8 would make $240,000 per month. But apparently that’s just not enough, they have to make more and more and more so they start dropping the families with the least amount of pull, with the least say in affairs.
Many people might be thinking, “what has this got to do with me?” Well, many of the Indians who were kicked out of the tribe are on government assistance plans, so YOUR taxes are paying for the food, shelter, education, medical, etc of Indians whose tribes make HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS OF DOLLARS per year!
Reservations are for the benefited of the members of the tribes, well, funny things is the smaller the tribe, the more beneficial it is to a very small few.
PS. If you watch the video, pay attention right at the 5 minute 40 (5:40) section, you will hear that even when the tribe hired a specialist to prove one family should be kicked out, they chose not to go with his findings… wow, what a bunch of bastards.

[..YouTube..] Put off by this presumably non-NDN anchorwoman authoritatively telling viewers that the Pechanga ad was misleading, specifically w/respect to court decisions. My interpretation of what Mr. Macarro was saying is the courts have repeatedly upheld the right of tribes to define their own membership. That is a fact. I think she misinterpreted due to a misunderstanding of basic federal Indian law, & given the already rampant misunderstandings about NDN peoples, I find that irresponsible & inflammatory
[..YouTube..] It’s all about money and greed and money. 30k a month, 200k a month, some tribe members getting a million a month and all this happening while some other tribes are dirt poor and can not afford an electric pump well and have to share outhouses. pitifull. ps, yeah Stanley Crooks, I am including YOU with the other bastards.
[..YouTube..] many many crook,s sold you bhoter,s way the go boooooooooo
[..YouTube..] Like the title of South park “The Man’s Greed” These Pechanga are a disgrace! I can understand kicking out whites but how dare they kick out their own people!?

[..YouTube..] @kalisetsi, it’s still fucked up. They shouldn’t dis-enroll anybody unless they were less than 50% Native American.

[..YouTube..] @UglyP I agree its f’d up. Individual Natives have rights. My issue is mainstream media putting Native issues out for non-NDNs & being sloppy with facts/context, taking advantage of most “American’s”‘ limited knowledge of Native America. The danger is uninformed outsiders will make decisions that take away from both tribal & individual NDN rights, and all will lose. Unfair as may be, tribes also have rights. Tribes & NDNs need each other, so neither should cut off the nose to spite the face.

[..YouTube..] This is absurd! How could your own tribe do that to you? Its sad, what greed can do to people. I’m Navajo/Zuni.
[..YouTube..] They should take the tribe to Federal Court and sue. Get them where it hurts
[..YouTube..] So wrong and so sad. Greed is the death of us all.
[..YouTube..] US govt has no right to govern the natives in these affairs.
Native law exsisted WELL BEFORE the United States did, the US should stay the hell out of their affairs.
[..YouTube..] Arnt we the illegals here in America, the Indians were here first!!
[..YouTube..] @mrceebees14 I kinda agree, but Pechanga had no right to kick these people out. Shit is gonna hit the fan one of these days, and I honestly wouldn’t be surprised if one of these tribes had a Rez civil war.
[..YouTube..] wow I didn’t know things were happening like that but I did have a feeling!!
[..YouTube..] This is an awesome video. Check out, “Seeing Through Native Eyes”. Type in Star Fort and you can easily find it.
[..YouTube..] I feel for anyone who has been ‘dis-enrolled’ from their tribes but what I don’t understand about this family in the video is how the news can say they are struggling to survive but weren’t they getting millions of dollars every year? where is the money they had before? what a lot of us Natives don’t understand is that the government still has it’s hands in the casino money and a lot of that money comes from feeding off of people’s addictions so it’s not like it’s a blessing from God.
