The "tribe" is not a tribe at all. They are a bunch of people who have no claim to the Shinnecock tribal rights any greater than you or me. Now they want to organize and build a casino, and are using this lawsuit as a way to pressure the local authorities to approve their plan.

This is blackmail, plain and simple. The court should tell these folks to just get stuffed.

I think you're right. What you'll probably find among the leadership of this group are people with names like the following:

Red Cloud McKenzie
Gray Wolf Petrizello
Sky Hawk Meyerman

Maybe, maybe one of them has 1/64 Shinnecock blood.

This sounds like a shakedown, pure and simple. And it's a shame because it tends to make people hardened to any legitimate claims that might be out there.

There you go again saying those magic words, the COURT should tell these folks.

Well for your information we out in the West banked on honest judges and what we got were activists socialists who screwed the Western states at every turn.

Well you know the Congressional Black Caucus will have their hands out for REPARATIONS real soon.

Don't count on a backlash putting a stop to this kind of BS any time soon.
