A large group gathered in front of the Pechanga Resort and Casino to protest the growing problem of tribal corruption by tribes across the Inited States. Pechanga was chosen as the protest site because the was a convention of tribal leaders meeting. The pechanga tribe is well known across Indian Country for practicing Apartheid on their reservation.
Individuals from many tribes, including Snoqualmie in Washington state traveled ling distances to attend this protest.
Formal requests were made to ASIA Echohawk to meet and he gave no response Echohawk is charged with the trust responsibility to tribes AND individual Indians. Thousands of individual Indians have had their rights violated. Is turning a blind eye to this part of the Obama administration master plan to reduce the population of American Indians?
Mr Echo Hawk I thought you were there for all Indians. I geuss you are there for only the Indian gaming goverments that pay you. I personly have sent you letters on tribel constitution and reco act violation and i have not even recevied one responce from you. How much money do i need to get a responce.
ReplyDeleteWell to even sit in on the sessions at the tribal leadership conference costs $525 dollars to attend so that says it all.
ReplyDeletewhats up with yollie and her camera ,and basquez jr her were they reporting to with their video?
ReplyDeleteThanks to POLYSQWALIS, Smokeybear, Carolyn from Washington state for all their efforts to make our rally a success!
ReplyDeleteAlso, O.P. and John Gomez Jr for their behind the scenes work to get the word out and others as well!
I am sorry that I didn't get to introduce myself to Carolyn as I was with some people who were leaving when I found out she had made it there.
"what’s up with yollie and her camera ,and basquez jr her were they reporting to with their video?"
ReplyDeleteWhat would they care about a group of ousted Luiseño and invited fellow native Americas from neighboring Indian communities having a picnic in their backyard?
Oh, right they both were in on the illegal ousting. By supporting our removal from the tribe through letter writing then participating as part of the CPP to pressure (harass and intimidate) the powers that be to do and illegal removal of legitimate Pechanga/Temecula descendants this duo is culpable of fraud and theft.

ReplyDeleteWhat were yolie and raymond Jr going to do with their video of the protest? Shouldn’t they be more concern of their paper work they are of the Leivas line? Then there was edd burbee with his camera taken pitchers. What allotment is he on is he an original allotee. vincent showed up one day taken care of an elder if you call locking her up in a room taken care of and had her sign her allotment over to him. Nobody knows where he came from. Back in the day vincent and edd used to go to the archives a lot perhaps looking for names to be taken for there benefit.

I didn't see Raymond Jr and Yolie out there taking a video or Ed the Potato Head either.
Makes one wonder why they even care about our protest as, didn't they win already?
They must be worried about something.
I got a kick out of a heckler yelling foul language at one of our protesters getting pulled over by the cops!
.....I just want to thank everyone who could participate in this showing and a special thanks to the still enrolled for their interest in our actions.... makes one wonder what the intent of the enrolled members would be to show interest in a little rally to show a light on the Civil Rights violations happening on Reservations throughout the US.
maybe the CPP made a showing to give suppot to the end of Civil Rights abuse... or maybe their doing a documentary to show their support to stop Civil Rights Violations! Aho!!
ReplyDeletemaybe they know they could be violated next..... lets hope, Next!
has big Maccaro gotten revenge for the attempt to recall him from tribal Chair.... BETTER SLEEP WITH ONE EYE OPEN. Mark is planting cornfields. you just might get the same outcome. It is important to remember that the Courts have agreed with the Tribe on enrollment issues.
ReplyDeletesometimes you just want to eat your words. Right Mark "Cornfield" Maccaro.

THIS IS WHAT HAPPENED AT PECHANGA (The official title of the tribe is the Temecula Band aka Pechanga):
ReplyDeleteRaymond Basquez Sr and Yolie McCarter submitted statements against our tribal membership and a lot of their close family members; sons, nieces, nephews, and close cousins signed at least one of those statement in support of disenrolling us.
Ruth Masiel and Irhene Scearce, who were on the enrollment committee, are the sisters of Raymond Basquez Sr and close relatives of the others who signed a statement against us, the Hunters' tribal membership, and Andy Masiel Sr ruled on our appeal to the tribal council who is the son or Ruth M, the nephew of Irehne S, and a close cousin of the others.
We asked the enrollment committee and the tribal council to make those individuals with a clear conflict of interest be made to step aside from ruling on our disenrollment case but those people were allowed to rule on our case anyway and we were disenrolled by a one vote margin on both the committee and the council.
So if biased people with a clear conflict of interest did not rule on our disenrollment case, we would not have been disenrolled.
"IT SHALL BE THE DUTY OF ALL ELECTED OFFICIALS OF THE BAND TO UPHOLD AND ENFORCE THE CONSTITUTION, BYLAWS, AND ORDINANCES OF THE TEMECULA BAND OF LUISENO MISSION INDIANS; AND ALSO, TO UPHOLD THE INDIVIDUAL RIGHTS OF EACH MEMBER WITHOUT MALICE OR PREJUDICE."
So we are not deligitimizing this process, quite the contrary we understand very well the process and we are demanding, for the above reasons and other reasons, that our Band's constitution and bylaws and laws be followed and that our disenrollments be thrown out.
As the ruling to disenroll us would not stand in any fair and imparital judicial proceedings but clearly what happened when we were disenrolled was hardly fair and impartial.
A good solid effort by those attending to bring attention to the plight of native Americans who have been violated by their corrupt councils. There is still work to do, follow up letters to Amy Deutschke and Echohawk.
ReplyDeletewhere are the you tube videos of the event?
ReplyDeleteThey are on paul magee's facebook
ReplyDeleteyollie drove by and was filming paul magee,and said hi,Joe (I think she likes him) then she went to report to the cupcake council.
ReplyDeleteWow macarro called dick in one youtube video that one is doing best.
ReplyDeleteFollwed by snake in trash can video.
Those video are getting faster views.
It is shameful that prominent leaders would intentionally ignore what is one of the biggest issues, right in front of their faces, which will lead to the erosion of Tribal Sovereignty in the history of Tribal and US relations.
ReplyDeleteAho brother... Aho!
Thank you all for your help with the Rally Protest and for the unity it will CONTINUE to Bring
ReplyDeleteSTAND AND FIGHT FOR JUSTICE
SAYS POLYSQWALIS
yes {i think she likes Paul[rollie I mean yollie,I mean pollie oops!
ReplyDeletepolysqwalis
Either she likes him or she is trying to make it seem like she will try to help him get enrolled so that he will back off of what he has been doing to shed the light on what is happening at Pechanga.
ReplyDeleteI think Joe (Paul) is smarter than this but it would be worth a try for the CPP to try to divide us while we seem to be getting some mommentum going. You know, divide and conquer.
of course trying to intimidate or otherwise confuse you into thinking you are accepted Joe [paul]we know this all front for evil corrupt people,I like what we do together You know momentum,I feel this is what needs to happen Now I already have a letter going to BIA REQUESTING SANCTIONS What say you Paul
ReplyDeletePOLYSQWALIS
He is just being debriefed!
ReplyDeleteI might add....He is just as adept at debriefing as anyone...he is very intelligent and instinctual...and...he knows exactly when and where to strike to impose the most damage.
YA he toots his horn
ReplyDeleteI told you guys not to wear sunglasses and to dress nice. It is my greatest hope that some of you will be a bit more serious while protesting next time. Don't look like a homeless unkempt bum, take your sunglasses and trucker hats off so people can see your eyes, and for God's sake, wear a belt, slacks, and tuck in your shirts. T-shirts? Sandals? Kindergarten-looking signs? Really?
ReplyDeleteWhat are you saying,smokey looks like a truck driver? or from the movie deliverence ? I did not see you there?
