The deposition of Paula Lorenzo goes with a previous post on the lawsuits of Rumsey Indian Rancheria of Wintun Indians vs Howard Dickstein.
Every Pala Member should be familiar with this case and Paula Lorenzo's deposition. Just a reminder, Howard Dickstein is Pala's attorney. Well, Howard Dickstein actually works for several gaming tribes. Or should I say several gaming tribes work for Howard Dickstein?
Paula Lorenzo is Chairwoman of the Rumsey Band.
If you take a look at Corporate Wiki you will see there is a connection between Paula Lorenzo, Robert Smith, and Jerry Turk.
All three were members of a company called California Indian Gaming Development, LLC as well as California Indian Gaming Management, LLC.
You can do a business search for businesses located in California using the California Secretary of State. Go ahead and type in California Indian Gaming, select Limited Liability Company/Limited Partnership Name, and both CIGD and CIGM will pop up though both are now canceled.
Anyway, keep this all in mind while going over the Rumsey case. Take a look at what Howard Dickstein did at Rumsey then think of Pala.
The Deposition of Paula Lorenzo in Rumsey Indian Rancheria of Wintun Indians vs Howard Dickstein
In 1903 the Agua Caleinte Cupeno were removed from their ancestral tribal home, the Village of Kupa also known as Warner's Hot Springs. The Cupeno were forced onto the Pala Indian Reservation. This is known as the Cupeno Trail of Tears. On June 1st, 2011 and February 1st, 2012 162 Warner Ranch Evictee Agua Caliente Cupeno were removed from the PBMI Association by the Pala Enrollment Committee. This is our Second Trail of Tears.
