You just have no idea how difficult it is to re-establish an Indian tribe if you believe this tale.

While it may be very difficult for most people, it doesn't seem to have been quite so hard for (hopefully) soon-to-be ex-Senator Boxer.

Are you refuting the facts that are presented here? If so, do you have any further information that does so?

Yeah, you have to find some Indians FIRST. That part simply isn’t in this tale ~ one Indian does not a tribe make!

The posted article was pulled by The Hill (Why?), but it is confirmed at length here (includes Boxer's son's connection and evasive quotes by Boxer). Can this go viral and sink Boxer?

Rohnert Park casino bill tarnishes Boxer's green image

"Boxer's bill restored sovereign rights to a few hundred Miwok and Pomo Indians in the Federated Indians of Graton Rancheria.

On Oct. 1, the tribe reached a milestone, albeit without public fanfare. The U.S. Department of Interior took 254 acres into trust, essentially creating a new reservation for Federated Indians directly off Highway 101 south of the Sonoma County city of Rohnert Park — prime land for a Las Vegas-style casino".
