Former Pala Chairman King Freemen has penned an open letter to the members of the Pala Band of Luiseno Indian, whose porcine leader The DESPICABLE ROBERT SMITH has overseen the disenrollment of 164 members of the tribe.
It describes the chicanery and tampering of government paperwork. Hand written changes to the blood degree that...funny enough, didn't make it to the records housed in DC. We, from Pechanga know full well how this can affect others, as there were changes made to the Masiel Basquez Crime Family of Pechanga to ensure they met tribal standards.
This must be shared on twitter and Facebook to all the appropriate people and organizations. And I URGE those who are under similar circumstances to write the same type of open letter, I WILL print it and those who have been disenrolled to share their stories in the comment sections...and visit OFTEN.
Pala, Pechanga similar and sad. All Ancestors created the Reserves. History was created before the Bad Actors want to rewrite the records? SAD
ReplyDeleteThank you King for the passionate plea to the General Membership of Pala. Maybe there are still some members who care that 164 people were disenrolled based on lies and deception.
ReplyDeleteSo what action are you hoping the General Membership will take? Are they going to meet and order the Enrollment Committee to reinstate the disenrollees? In order to do this the item would have to get on the meeting agenda, and Robert Smith controls the agenda.
Are they going to sign a petition demanding the reinstatement of the disenrollees? Robert Smith has rejected every petition that has been brought forward.
Is the General Council going to try to suspend or recall the Executive Committee? We tried that last May, and that is when Robert Smith had Howard Maxcy call an Emergency Meeting to violate the civil rights of the Interim Executive Committee we elected to manage tribal affairs while an investigation was conducted.
Is there going to be a hearing in front of the Pala Kangaroo Court? That will get a laugh.
Is there going to be some sort of notification sent to members with the evidence of Margarita Britten's blood degree along with the proof of fraud that Robert Smith has committed to usurp the power of the tribe, disenroll legitimate members, and steal over a billion dollars of tribal revenue? Getting the mailing list will be impossible since the EC keeps control of the membership roll.
Like you, I had hope that the majority of Pala members were fed up with the crime and corruption and wanted a good tribe with officers that upheld the law, and believed in justice and fairness. I was wrong. The fixed elections, the control of the meeting agenda, the rejection of petitions, the blatant violations of the Constitution, the Kangaroo Court, the phony financial statements, the lies, treachery, bribery, deceit, espionage, fraud, theft, abuse of elders, and complete rejection of all that our ancestors worked for continues.
No one in the tribe is doing anything to stop the destruction of Pala. They cower in fear of Robert Smith and his thugs. They worry that he will cut them off from the money, turn their family against them, and banish or disenroll them. We know this is true. This is exactly how he operates. It happened to us.
Let it be known to all Pala members if they didn't know it already. Robert Smith will go after your innocent family members. He will steal the trust funds of your children. If he can't buy you, threaten you, or extort you, he will do every dirty trick he can think of. Then he will curse you, keep you from being buried with your family, and laugh because it is his tribe.
It's his tribe, his money, his casino, and he is working every day to remove anyone who opposes him. You people gave him the power, and now you are his slaves. I hope you enjoy your monthly check, and can somehow make peace with your conscience. Meanwhile our ancestors cannot rest, and their spirits cry out over the destruction of the people.
Thank you King for keeping up with the fight. I agree,people only react when it affects them. I do not know what happened to the days when people stood for what was right. Here is the chance for The Tribal Executive Committee to right their wrongs before it is too late for them and their families. We all have to pay for the negatives things we do in life and for the amount of people whose lives we affect negatively. These committee members have literally destroyed the hearts of not just the 164 they disenrolled but all of their extended families. That is a lot of negative effects that these committee members are 100% responsible for. They could have read the proof, they could have given the disenrolled a chance to show their side and given the tribe a chance to vote on it. This is all on them and God will not turn a blind eye to what they have done. They continue to treat the disenrolled with such disdain too. What did the disenrolled do to them? Who will be effected if the disenrolled are reinstated? Here is the chance to look like true natives and treat your people, all of your people, good and show the nation how true natives act and respect each other.
ReplyDeleteExcellent! I encourage ALL people, enrolled, non, native, non, write to tribes that practice white ways and let them know how you feel about their actions.
ReplyDeleteI hope the tribal members really read this letter. The proof is there. I have always believed the dissenrollees should be re enrolled.
ReplyDeleteWhat harm is there in re enrolling them? If anything it would be a good publicity. Good for business.
ReplyDeleteThe Pala EC declared the disenrollments final. They did so before they even received the recommendation from the BIA Regional Director, in violation of the Enrollment Ordinance.
ReplyDeleteThe Pala EC enacted the disenrollments even though the Enrollment Ordinance states that "it is not the intent of the Enrollment Committee to affect the membership status of those already enrolled."
The Pala EC lowered the blood degree of Margarita Britten post-mortem, and in direct violation of a General Council decision to correct her blood degree to 4/4, and in contradiction of the 1989 Asbra-Mills Decisions issued by the BIA which were final decisions by the agency on the matter after a number of appeals.
BIA Enrollment Specialist Elsie Lucero stated flatly that Robert Smith intentionally deceived the Pala Membership by stating Margarita Britten's father was unknown when instead he was identified as Pelegrino Ortega in sworn testimony by Carolina Nolasquez.
The Pala EC ignored the Savings Clause of the Pala Constitution that states that all prior enactments of the General Council would continue to be honored and recognized even though the Articles of Association had been superseded by the Constitution.
The Pala EC used the 1928 California Judgment Roll applications of Margarita Britten and her children that had been completed and submitted by Jose Ortega to dispute the identity of the father of Margarita Britten. The Pala Constitution states that direct lineal descent is derived from the 1913 Pala Allotment Roll. BIA Superintendent Robert Eben informed Pala Chairman Robert Smith that the 1928 CIJR applications were not to be used for enrollment purposes and I have a copy of that letter. Robert Smith and the Pala EC not only ignored that letter, but they used the 1928 CIJR applications to determine ineligibility rather than to determine eligibility. This is also in violation of the Enrollment Ordinance.
So the Pala EC would have to reverse their declaration of the finality of the disenrollments. They would have to admit that they were wrong in using the 1928 CIJR applications. They would have to admit that they violated the Constitution. They would have to restore the blood degree of Margarita Britten. They would have to reinstate the disenrollees. They would have to wipe three years of egg off their faces.
I don't know if they are capable of that. What I do know they are capable of is corruption, deceit, and treachery. It seems unlikely that this EC, that has shamed our ancestor and treated the disenrollees with such disdain would reverse their decision. The members of Pala have so far shown that they are unable to challenge the power of the Pala EC.
All is not bleak though. The tide is turning. News from the front. Howard Dickstein has left his practice in California and joined his wife Jeaninne English in Washington, D.C. She is now the president of AARP, and I hope retired persons in the U.S. are not victimized like the Indians in California.
Doug Elmets has resigned as spokeman for the Pala Band of Mission Indians.
Pam Arviso is no longer the business director of PBMI.
Longtime Robert Smith ally in the BIA, Pacific Regional Director Amy Dutschke has announced she is retiring, as has Robert Eben, BIA Superintendent So-Cal Riverside Office.
The rats abandon a sinking ship.
Ya, they announced their retirement after the FBI interviewed them, and that's a fact.
ReplyDeleteNeither one of them backed up the executive committee actions.
ReplyDeleteLooks like things are starting to boil up at Pala.
Come on Robert, just re enroll. It will stop all the bitter hatred in pala.
ReplyDeleteWhy is this not on pala watch?
ReplyDeletesounds like R/R is disputing this letter, maybe he is working for the EC?
ReplyDeleteWhere do you get that I am disputing the letter? If you read my comments you will see that I am saying that a letter like this should include a proposal for an action that the General Membership could take. Something they could do that goes beyond reading the letter, shaking the head, and going back to the mess at Pala without doing anything about it.
ReplyDeleteSimply saying the disenrollees should be reinstated doesn't tell the General Council how to do it. It would take a majority of the tribal members working together to overturn the disenrollments, and so even if they feel bad, nothing will change unless there is a plan to make it happen.
In the meantime I also included the details about the statements in King's letter so people could understand how wrong the action was. As for insinuating that I am working for the EC, such an insult is undeserved. I have worked long and hard to help the disenrollees, and I am still working, chipping away at the power structure that enabled the Pala EC to terminate the membership of the descendants of Margarita Britten.
There has been some progress, and you can tell by the departures of former PBMI allies in the BIA, the tribe's General Counsel, the tribe's Business Manager, and the tribe's spokeman. These people see the ship is sinking and are jumping off to save themselves so they don't caught up in the wheels of justice.
Reinstatement_Restitution;
ReplyDeleteI would not worry, it appears that someone is just stirring the pot, or what is more probable is someone does not understand what your message was.
Pala is comming to an end. their are so many unmarked vehicles crusing around the reservation. Their were at least 4 at the mini mart this afternoon. parked near the propane tank. Its about time.
ReplyDeleteno more howard dickstien,no more doug elments,no more amy duschbag,no more Robert eben. Who's going to wipe smiths ass now.
