Stealing The Sacred Black Hills
written by cwolfr
Here we are in 2008 and once again through fakery and manipulation they are trying to steal the Sacred Black Hills from my Lakota brethren. Just as centuries ago when they fooled leaders and elders with worthless treaties again here comes the whiteman and the government to try again to take the sacred Indian land for a handful of beeds. Please read the article that was forwarded to me .My heart is sick over this.
Mission, SD (Rosebud Reservation) ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! NOTICE ! ! ! ! ! ! !
Today May 22, 2008 between 1-3p.m. CST at the Harold Jones Hall on the Episcopalian Church grounds in Mission SD on the Rosebud Reservation a meeting was held by attorney Douglas R. Kettering to push the sale of the Black Hills. People were encouraged to sign Contingency Fee Agreements that had as a header “Greater Sioux Nations Oyate, a not for profit corporation” (to add legitimacy to an illegitimate situation) and pay $20 per agreement to the Law firm with additional hourly fees forthwith. Edna Guereu fromerly of Denver and currently of Rosebud reservation was encouraging duped elders and anyone who would listen to sign Contingency Fee Agreements along with power of attorney statements, using Minnesota statutes.
Pass the word around because apparently most people are unaware of this with the exception of hang around the forts who are more than eager to sign in the hopes of making a meager $12,000, which will not last one day in a casino and is a pittance compared to both the spiritual and monetary value of this land, while Kettering stands to make millions if he is succesful, and vast amounts of money win or lose.
Kettering plans to have a meeting at Prairie Wind Casino on the Pine Ridge Reservation, much like the one he held in Early May in Sioux City Iowa, and now today in Mission. There is no scheduled time as of yet, however this sneaky rat is doing his best to only expose his money grubbing, land stealing plan to non Traditionals because he thinks in that way he can slither through the back door.
This only proves that we do still own the Black Hills and that the US govt is scared and is sending slick slimeballs like Kettering (not Ketterling) to do his dirty work. It seems Kettering is teaming up with the Law firm of Mohrman and Kaardal, P.A. the law office (612-341-1074) that is trying to make money off of the Shakopee Claim of the Mdewakanton Dakota Oyate litigation (Minnesota/ Prairie Island ) (http://www.mklaw.com/mdewakanton.htm)

All Kettering is offering is a handful of glass beads and small pox blankets. Our ancestors did not die fighting for this.
THE BLACK HILLS ARE NOT FOR SALE! Pass the word far and wide that these people are not playing around and will do everything they can to con anyone so they can make a buck off the suffering of our people and land, The Heart of our Mother, that our Ancestors had the courage to fight and die for!
A copy of the packet handed out at these meetings is being faxed to me, and I will be posting an update with that information as soon as I receive it.
