A group of Klamath tribal members who have lost faith in their elected leaders are preparing to initiate recall efforts on several council members with elected Klamath Tribal Secretary Torina Case being the first targeted.
A letter requesting Case’s resignation or risk being recalled was hand delivered to Case at the Klamath Tribes administration office on Friday, July 31, 2015. Case who has served as the Klamath Tribes secretary for over 16 years won re-election in 2013 after beating out two other candidates vying for the position. In respect to her years of service to the tribe the group is offering Case the chance to resign before initiating the removal process.
The removal process is a right reserved to Klamath Tribal members in the Klamath Tribes Constitution. Any tribal council member can be removed for the remainder of a term for “just cause” by a majority vote of the qualified voters at a special or general council meeting. Vote for removal should be requested by a petition setting forth the cause and must be signed by 100 tribal members.
Months of intertribal turmoil and frustration with the current tribal council’s form of governance has sparked concerned tribal members to take action. Quinten Bettles, a Klamath Tribal member who supports the recall efforts stated “Our failure as a tribe is because of blatant nepotism and too many conflicts of interest”. Lack of tribal council accountability and transparency has only increased cynicism from tribal members. Rowena Jackson, a Klamath Tribal member stated “It is obviously time for change, we want a new council with heart and traditional values who will represent us the way our chiefs did in the past”.
Council members targeted for recall will face a number of allegations that violate the Klamath Tribes Constitution. All allegations will be fully outlined in the recall process. If Case refuses to resign the group expects to be able to collect enough signatures on the recall petition to return to the tribal council right away. Once the required number of signatures is verified, the tribal council is obligated to review the petition for just caus

Emilio Reyes is the smarest guy I know. If you dont like disenrollment you continue to live a lie and hide the truth.
Im assuming no one on this page is against Disenrollment. People that are talking against Emilio are probably upset that he is a non-tribal member and trying to take down the San Pasqual Trask family. Trasks have a lot to worry about but if Emilio never gets enrolled they will not have to worry. I assume that Emilio Reyes will never be enrolled as long as the Trasks remain in office.
Who are you Speaking about? Whose Emlio Reyes?. somone school the native Diamond.. Thanks.

A very big problem occurred in my family seven months ago,between me and my husband .so terrible that he took the case to court for a divorce.he said that he never wanted to stay with me again,and that he didn't love me anymore.So he packed out of the house and made me and my children passed through severe pain. I tried all my possible means to get him back,after much begging,but all to no avail.and he confirmed it that he has made his decision,and he never wanted to see me again. So on one evening,as i was coming back from work,i met an old friend of mine who asked of my husband .So i explained every thing to him,so he told me that the only way i can get my husband back,is to visit a spell caster,because it has really worked for him too.So i never believed in spell,but i had no other choice,than to follow his advice. Then he gave me the email address of the spell caster whom he visited.{salvationlovetemple@gmail.comm}. So the next morning,i sent a mail to the address he gave to me,and the spell caster assured me that i will get my husband back the next day.What an amazing statement!!
