Take much federal wampum to fix this.
Bump
Perhaps the Great Black father in Washington can hold a peace pipe summit in DC so that the BIA can better dictate to the tribes how to behave?
As a 1/8th member of the Cherokee nation I support this!
LOL!
Hmmmm. I wonder if Chief Thunder Thud coud help?
announce a plan to build many nuclear reactor on Native American lands:
1. Strikes a heavy blow
2. Makes a bunch of dough
I guess the keepers of the reservation are fearful of the freeloaders...turning it into a plantation....
“The Cherokee Nation will not be governed by the BIA,” Joe Crittenden...
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Joe is missing a ‘T’.
He’s gone from being a Native American to a Naive American.
A lot of people don’t understand this, because the MSM muddies it just like they do so many other stories.
From what I understand, if you are descended from a Cherokee bloodline, black, white, or inbetween, you are a Cherokee. If you are a line that was an escaped slave that was harbored or owned by a Cherokee, you are not a member.
You have to have a certain percentage of blood to be a Cherokee. That’s all this is about. You can’t just say, hey I lived with you, therefore I am a voting member of the tribe.
I hope I am reading this correctly but that is what I am getting. The MSM is trying to make it seem that if you are Cherokee and also black, you are getting thrown out.
I smell reparations AGAIN!!
Don’t get into a legal situation on a Rez and expect recourse in Tribal Court.
Why do we STILL have a Bureau of Indian Affairs?
How many billions a year are we wasting on this less than worthless continuing boondoogle?
Oh boy!
Great Chief Chicken Shiite will NOT be happy about this!
I suspect that this has little to do with racism and everything to do with having to divide up Casino money among members of the tribe.
Will 0bama send in federal troops to punish the Indians and force them to accept blacks into the tribe? Inquiring minds want to know.
Diversity’s racist tribes showing their true colors again.
The Black Caucus is all over this. I always like when two Dem constituencies are at loggerheads. Another headache for Chief Barack.
This is really going to make the Blackfeet mad.
