Robert Smith - Chairman of the Luisenos



It appears Pala has two chairmen - Robert Smith Chairman of the Pala Band of Mission Indians and Robert Smith Chairman of the Luiseno Indians.  Inside Pala, Robert Smith is known as the Chairman of the Pala Band of Mission Indians.  Outside Pala when conducting business such as internet gaming Robert Smith is known as the Chairman of the Pala Luisenos.  BIA Pacific Regional Director Amy Dutschke when conducting business with Robert Smith in 2014 refers to him as Chairman, Pala Band of Luiseno Mission Indians.  The letter below seems to indicate Robert Smith Chairman of the Luisenos is seeking to add more land to Old Pala.

I can't say I am 100% sure but it seems Rimsa is on Pala Temecula Road.

PALA CHIEF LITTLE "PEE PEE" NEEDS TO GO BACK TO SAN FELIPE.

According to the land into trust decision letter written by Amy D. from the BIA Regional office , in Sacramento, The Pala Band is run by the articals of association, and NOT by a constitution. You can read it for your self on page 18 in the above letter to Robert Smith, concerning the decision from the BIA, page 18.Please check it out.

Looks like the BIA, and the Pala Chairman and the EC have some explaining to do. This is out rite FRAUD on the part of the BIA to make the Tribal Members of Pala obey the rules of a Constitution when the very same Regional Director states the they are organized under the Articals of Assocation, and takes the land into trust under the
articals of assoc.this is all dated 3-2014.

Why does it only mention the Pala Reservation founded in 1885 and not the land that was designated reservation for the Warner's Indians?

Not 1885 read p 18 sure is a misstatement of facts and history. Should have been looked into before. To late now.

Ant one with any info concerning crimes that involve Robert Smith or his Brother Andrew are urged to call the North County Office of the FBI in Carlsbad, Ca.@(760)729-0811, and ask for the Agent that is handling the Pala Cases. Crimes include Elder Abuse, Drug Dealing, Murder, and so on. This does not have anything to do with the disenrollments. The courts are handling that part.

Ya there are some shady things going on for sure, but we can vote that hole council out and had happened many times before in different and it's worked out for them. But even if we do go forward with something like that we need to be sure and true to each other and most importantly be on the same page. But then again who truly believe in true native ways with out white or any other races influence? I know I do. And so should ever body else that call them selves native. True native religion, ways, living.
Native pride pala.

OK Tamatulnaqis we elect you to be the judge, jury and executioner and you have permission to take them out any way that you have to. But hurry because the Fed have already been notified, and are investigating everything.

It seems like Robert Smith is changing every thing over to The Pala Band of Luiseno mission Indians for a reason.
Maybe because the Old Pala Luiseno side has less known members and he is thinking that every thing that comes from the Casino will only be divided between those members and leave the Kupa members out in the cold. He is nothing more than a greedy fucken German wantabe Indian. You people better act know before you have nothing left to fight for.

How can that bitch Amy be so stupid to say that we are Governed by the
Articals and not mention a Constitution.
(answer) Because the so called Constitution is not valid. It is an intended smoke screen made up by Robert Smith, Amy Duschbag, and the Pala EC to make everything look legit for the General Membership.
However some of us can spot a Fraud no matter what they try to do.
So people of the Tribe, don't you care that your EC is EVIL and is putting the blame on YOU for all of this Bullshit that is tearing the Pala Band of Mission Indian apart.
And the reason that Pala is looking so bad in Indian Country is because YOU ARE LETTING IT HAPPEN,AND NOT MOVING TO CORRECT THE ISSUES.S9 BY DOING NOTHING CORRECT THE PROBLEMS IN PALA IT MAKE EVERYONE ELSE THINK THAT YOU DON'T CARE, SO WHY SHOULD WE.
