Recently, my wife gave birth to our son. It was a very special birth to say the least. After a while i had a chance to think about what has happened to our family. We were kicked out of our tribe while we had Members of committies sleeping when we were showing the hundreds of pages of documentation. Some evidence they paid for and didnt even pay attention to it.
My Son now has no chance of the experience's I had. Going to the reservation to help family and going to tribal meetings as a boy. As an adult, he will not be able to attend meetings. He will never know what oppourtunity the Casino has brought to our tribe. He wont have voting rights that were stripped from us. He will recieve an education, but not from his tribe. He will get medical insurance, but again not from his tribe.
I'd like to think my son will be lucky, he will never have to go through pain of what many of my families children did, when they were removed from school and told that they were never to return because they are not Indian. But, I think he'd rather know his tribal heritage...
I think my son will be lucky when people do the right thing, and restore our proper tribal status. From Judges to the Governor to the people of California. I think California will be lucky when it Votes no on 94,95,96,97. When one tribe has wronged hundreds, all tribes should be held to account. When dishonest actions pay off for one tribe, the only honest action is to not support ALL Indian Casino's in California!

Raise your son right. Do not repeat to him the lies and mis-information in your rant, for you will only induce bitterness and wrong-headedness. You have no tribe, by your definition as a non-member. After others questioned the legitimacy of the membership credentials of the Hunter clan, you and the rest of the Hunter clan had an opportunity during a simple due process to present your facts and information supporting membership. You all failed to do so. The enrollment committee did its duty by removing the Hunter clan from the tribal roll. This action will stand permanently. Nobody has officially said you do not have Indian ancestry. Of course, nobody truly knows the ancestry of Paulina Walla Hunter. The Bureau of Indian Affairs has no Certificate of Degree of Indian Blood for this imposter PWH. From the record, we know the names of her parents, but not their ancestry. Even the Indian people back in the day never identified PWH as Indian, only as a neighbor or as someone they knew. The burden of proof rests with you and the rest of the Hunter clan to prove your status, and you all cannot do so. Attacks on others and a sob story will gain you nothing worthwhile. In addition, the federal court has now ruled, again, that the lame lawsuit the Hunter clan pursued has no merit. Accept your fate. Man up, and go on with your life.
