Attention True Agua Caliente Cupeno and Warner Ranch Evictees

Notice to all the True Agua Caliente Cupeno and Warner Ranch Evictees out there.  Robert Smith is trying to organize people at Pala to go to protest a hearing about Warner's Hot Springs development.



This is laughable since Robert Smith is Chairman of the Luisenos.  



Not only does Robert Smith claim to be the Chairman of the Luisenos but he also has a track record of harassing Agua Caliente Cupeno descendants.  He lead the charge on disenrolling 168 Agua Caliente Cupeno.  Later when Cupeno elders tried to hold a meeting they were punished and not allowed to ever vote or participate in meetings again.

Robert routinely orders Pala Security to harass Cupeno descendants.  Many family members who live off the reservation cannot visit their family members who live on the reservation without fear of reprisal.  Robert Smith takes action and fines Cupeno for just trying to visit their family and routinely threatens to take their per capita away.

Robert Smith destroys Cupeno land and refuses to pay what is rightfully owed.

Robert Smith has stolen the per cap of 168 Cupeno for the last 6 years.  Hundreds of millions of dollars stolen.  Robert Smith has altered the blood degrees of all the Cupeno trying to erase their memory.

Robert Smith now has the BIA changing Pala to Luiseno affiliation only.

Robert Smith and Theresa Nieto stole the Cupeno Children's Trust Funds.

Robert Smith and Leroy Miranda tried to play cute when they had opportunity to buy the Warner's Hot Springs Resort (Kupa).  Instead of just buying Kupa, the ancestral homeland of the Cupeno, he and Leroy tried to buy membership shares so they could drive the resort into bankruptcy which they did.  There they thought they would buy Kupa cheap but the judge refused to sell to them because of their actions.

It's a good thing the judge did that because Robert Smith hates the Cupenos.  This is because Robert Smith is from San Felipe while now claiming to be Luiseno.

This is a sick joke that Robert Smith is playing where he would dare to organize a group to "save Kupa" when he could have bought Warner's 4 times and each time he balked.  He routinely takes action to hurt Cupeno people with disenrollments, sanctions, fines, banishments, and evictions.

To all True Agua Caliente Cupeno and Warner Ranch Evictee Descedants please attend the meeting.  See the flyer below.  Do not let the Fake Cupeno Robert Smith continue to destroy our heritage!

And don't forget!  Robert Smith is the one who put that fence around the Cal Rossi Trust next to Kupa.  In the process he destroyed all sorts of Cupeno artifacts and violated the land.

Robert Smith is no friend of the Cupeno and should never be allowed to set foot at Kupa (aka Warner's Hot Springs/Agua Caliente) ever again let alone try to organize a protest?

What is Robert protesting?  There is nothing more that Robert Smith loves than seeing the destruction of Cupeno sacred sites.  Robert is probably secretly in favor of the developments and is just trying to shake the money tree of the owners.

Robert is disgusting, hates the Cupeno, but then acts like it is his history when it is needed. I pray he is gone soon.

If Robert is so concerned about cupeno history then why doesn't he re enroll the cupeno members he dissenrolled

Every real cupeno is praying that Robert Smith dies one way or another
real soon.
He is a very evil person who loves to hurt people that go against him.
So if you haven't yet joined the people calling on the Creator to end Robert Smith of his evil against true Native people please do so ASAP
and help end this evil mans days left on earth.

The Cupeno in Pala, just don't get it, they do not understand their history is slowly being altered to erase their Native Existence. I already saw a post of the flyer above by a Cupeno to go to the meeting to support Robert, they are just helping the process to go faster, so f....ing sad. They do not believe us when we tell them stuff and some of them won't even talk to us anymore, even sadder. What did we do wrong? We are trying to preserve our blood and blood line, while we watch our relatives help Robert destroy our heritage.

If you want to save your history, why dont you go to this event and try to save Kupa.

Anonymous said...

Or better yet if you really want to save your bloodline and your history catch Robert at the Casino when he is drunk and beat the living shit out of him and leave him in one of the stalls in the restroom to bleed out.
Only problem is that he doesn't use the restrooms at the Casino, he just pisses in the hallways.
I think he even wears adult Pampers.

It actually is the best time to catch him off the Reservation and provoke him into committing a felony, he can't cry sovereignty there. It needs to be something to keep in jail just long enough to call an emergency meeting and have him ousted. Or something that keeps him away without being able to come once he hears about it. He has his spies everywhere, who are hurting their own people for more money in their pockets, they are lining their pockets with their relatives' blood.They are just as guilty, they will have to answer for the many that they have helped to hurt and destroy. BTW we are fighting, we have been fighting everyday, we will continue to fight, we will not go away. You just do not hear about it, but when it comes out good for us, you will know. Robert has so many surrounding him, that is where Pala's money goes to, all the lawyers and lobbyists that he has, just so he can dictate the tribe and own the Casino.

His so called spy's are getting named slowly but surely and so there will be a list of names of those who are guilty soon.
Maybe as early as next week.

Apparently there were not enough Yaquis at Pala to fill up roberts bus. How sad it is that people do not know their own heritage. Just because you can say Kupa does not make you a Cupeno. Yaqui is Yaqui and Filipino is Filipino. Oops!!!! No Cupeno here. Even Cindy Leal, the complete fraud, purports to be Cupeno. Show us the DNA results Cindy. Who's your daddy. It wouldn't matter because if he really is your daddy it still wouldn't make you cupeno. Mel your grandmother was a murdering prostitute. Tell that story why don't you. I wonder if the inability to speak the truth is a Yaqui thing or is it just limited to the great Yaqui fakers of Pala. News flash you idiots. Robert and the BIA made you all Luiseno. Aint no going back on that one. Another news flash -- Antonio Garra was from Yuma/San Luis. No cupeno there either. Oh my gosh, another news flash -- Alejandro Barker was a white man. The news flashes just keep coming. As for the Lugos, pick a Cahuilla, any Cahuilla. Thats who they are. No Cupeno there at all. Lucky you though. You too are now Luiseno.

Anonymous said...

I seen a recording of the meeting on Facebook. Seems like most people there wanted the resort stopped and Warner's Ranch protected. Then somebody named Murraffo spoke, claiming to be on the committee of the Agua Caliente Tribal council. Although I understand your guys fight, he totally made you guys sound pathetic. He did nothing but use that space to berate the Pala Band of Mission Indians, Cupeno people in Pala, and the Pala community in general. He spoke nothing of protecting sacred sites and the ancestral home of Cupeno people, but instead started talking about dis-enrollment, and started reading a newspaper article. For real, if the Agua Caliente Band of Cupeno Indians want to be taken seriously, then you guys need a new spokesman. Not only did Mr. Maruffo speak unintelligent, but he did so in a Mexican/Latino accent. I know not everybody was raised on the reservation, not everybody learned to speak English first, and not everybody learned Cupeno, but he sounded inauthentic and really made you guys look bad in front of Pala tribal members, the County Board of Supervisors, and the general public. He makes you guys look fake as a tribe, and even crazy as a spokesperson. I was taken aback, embarrassed for you guys, pissed off, and then amused all throughout his "statement."

11:28 apparently you are intelligent stupid. How much did Robert Smith have to pay you to watch the video. The meeting was not with the Board of Supervisors and the video of the meeting is not yet available. Good one. The only fake is the Pala Tribe. The history is clear that the Yaquis, Cahuillas and Diguenos have taken over the Warner Ranch Indian Reservation and they have pushed the Cupeno aside. Yes the County needs to know that because there are specific laws that deal with who has rights and who doesn't have rights. Yaquis from Mexico have no rights at Warner Springs. San Felipe Digueno have no rights at Warner Springs. Cahuilla have no rights at Warner Springs. So the Yaqui, San Felipe and Cahuilla expression of sacred values at Warner Springs is of no value and by law and the owner does not have to respond to these unwarranted claims. Great job Vincent. Another successful poke in the eye of the beast with truth and facts.

At 11:28 So your white accent is better than a native accent?

@11:28, the only ones looking like jokes and are embarrassments are you and Robert's other cronies. Everyone knows, they are tired of Robert's bullying. The county is tired of it, the public is tired of it, and most of real Pala people are tired of it. Keep talking out your ass, we hear what you are saying but your words smell like shit.

Reinstatement_Restitution said...

The sad fact is the Robert Smith has had several opportunities to purchase Warner's Resort. Back in 1994, again in 2008, and again in 2012. Each time he deliberately scuttled the deal. The PBMI is a Luiseno tribe, and has no interests in Warner's Ranch. There are still PBMI members that descend from the Warner's Ranch Evictees but most of them have turned their backs on the Cupeno heritage.

Now the question is why are these PBMI members pretending to care about the Cupeno homeland? We all know all decisions at Pala come from Smith. He has already proven that he doesn't care about Cupeno heritage. The BIA told Smith that PBMI is a Luiseno band, and had to prove Cupeno descent in 1996 and Smith didn't care. He was content to let the BIA dictate the tribal affiliation of PBMI and didn't even tell the GC about it.

So it is just a big show. I guess some Smith supporters think Kupa is important and so Smith is putting on this show. The truth is that he could care less. He only cares about money, power and hurting people. He only talks like an Indian when he needs the protection of sovereign immunity. Otherwise everything he does is motivated by his lust for wealth and power.

Somebody live streamed the meeting on Facebook. SO, Vincent Maruffo made you guys look inauthentic and crazy in front of the Historic Site Board of San Diego County. Mexican/Latino accent is not Native.

Reinstatement_Restitution said...

So now you measure an Indian by his accent? A good man stood up for his beliefs and defended his heritage. You could follow his example instead of mocking him. However, such behavior is what we've come to expect from those influenced by Smith.

Anonymous said...

I am not influenced by anyone. I am just state one opinion on the way his comments made me feel. I have lived in Southern California my whole life, and yes accents usually help people determine who people are and where they come from. How is Vincent Maruffo bad mouthing Pala people, the community, and the tribe standing up for his heritage. He said absolutely nothing about or any concern for Kupa, its sacred sites, what they mean to him and his family, or any other relevant comment. All his comments were directed at dis-enrollment. I am Cupeno, my family is Cupeno, and I have live in Pala my whole life, but after hearing Vincent Marruffo speak I was offended, he does not represent me or my family, nor did anybody else that spoke. There really was nobody there representing the tribe, just tribal members. I am also offended that because I offered some criticism of the Agua Caliente tribal spokesperson, because that is what he claimed, that I am automatically categorized as a Smith supporter. Separating the community into dichotomies is what Whites/Western societies do, to non-tribal society, everything is either yes or no. I resent that you claim to speak for Cupeno people if you cant even speak to somebody who criticized one speaker and gave some constructive criticism. Also, why is Vincent Marruffo even talking about dis-enrollment, I though his family was just trying to get money from the tribe for the sewer, not because they were dis-enrolled. Somebody help me understand how you guys think about people who have different opinions or go against your comments and actions. Just because I felt that way listening to him speak does not mean I am against anybody or support anybody, really strange. All I said is if you guys want to be taken seriously, you can not have somebody getting up in front of people claiming to represent Agua Caliente band of Cupeno Indians and then talk crazy.

8:08 somebody is influencing you. At first you said the meeting was the Board of Supervisors then you said it was the Historic Site Board. Which one is it? Who gave you the wrong info then you had to correct it. This is a fun game. Can I play. My guess is that you are Robert's shadow writer, Doug Elmets. You represented to the press and others that you represented the tribe so it isn't much of a stretch for you to say you are a Cupeno. We all know that you are not a Lyingvato because they can't read or write. The Lyingvatos are good screamers and it has worked for 100 years but not anymore. No matter how loud the Lyingvatos scream it will never make them Cupeno. As for the protection of sacred sites how come nobody did anything when Cindy Leal burnt all the crosses in the warner cemetery. How come nobody did anything when robert ordered the Cupeno cremation grounds destroyed. Rabbits house is disgusting and needs to be cleaned up. If Pala was concerned this would have been done years ago. Reinstatement Restitution is wrong. Robert Smith has had at least 5 opportunities to buy Kupa for the Cupenos. The first in 1991 and robert actively campaigned (massive tantrum) and opposed purchasing Kupa for $8million. Then yes 94, 08 and 12. the tribe gave him $25 million and said go buy Kupa. Did he? Oh hell no. He had to play games with the owners and time share people and waste all of the $25 million which was lost during the bankruptcy. The last time was when PHG offered to sell the entire ranch to robert for $100,000 over their purchase price and robert refused. So I am going to stick with my guess. You have got to be Doug Elmets. I know Robert used to pay you $5,000 per letter and press release. Does he pay you the same for every post you make?

Anonymous said...

It's sad that "Pala" or whatever it is now charted a bus to mount a protest and all that showed up was Yaquis.

The tribal government of Pala is Luiseno and Cahuilla. They care nothing for the Cupeno except to steal their land, money, and heritage.

But when it suits them they will pretend to be Cupeno like at this meeting.

Anonymous said...

Vincent spoke the truth. Pala erected that fence and desecrated sacred Cupeno grounds. And now Pala wants to pretend to protect Kupa. Give me a break.

You want to protect Kupa? How about stop tampering with Kupa blood lines.

Anonymous said...

It's true that Vincent lacks eloquence, but he has a lot of passion and he is not stupid. His family has been through so much with Robert and some other people from the tribe. He is frustrated and determined to get people to listen. He is right. What Robert is getting away with is ludicrous and the members are allowing because of their own reasons, but Vincent is standing up to him. True that he should have focused more on the heritage at the meeting.

How has it gotten to this point? How much suffering must people have to go through at the hands of another, who continues to harass, seek out, and destroy many people's lives? How many people in Pala would be alive today if the Casino, the money, the disenrollments did not happen?

Anonymous said...

Ok. If you want to think that Robert Smith, Theresa Nieto, and Dion Perez are not Cupeno. What about Tony Ravago, Theresa Villa, and Sheila Smith what is their lineage and do they pass your Cupeno standard? I was mistaken the meeting, according to the flyer, was with the Historic Board not the County Board. I am not influenced by anybody, you sound really paranoid and crazy to think that everybody in Pala is brainwashed and influenced wither by Robert Smith or the Agua Caliente Tribe.

Anonymous said...

Why is Cindy Leal speaking for the Cupeno? Isn't she adopted and not supposed to be on the rolls?

Robert Smith is from San Felipe

Dion and Theresa are Cahuilla from Morongo, descendants of Remijillo Lugo who should have not gotten an allotment.

Yes many of us are mixed and intermarried. But some of those do not belong, namely Smith, Nieto, and Perez. Yet, you want to keep legitimizing NON-Cupeno against TRUE Cupeno.

Which side are you on? Are you on the side of the True Cupeno or the False government of Pala which only represents the Luiseno now?

Anonymous said...

Luiseno, San Felipe, Yaqui, and Cahuilla should have never been allowed to disenroll True Cupeno. It is against Santa Clara Pueblo vs Martinez which is Supreme Law of the USGOV. Sooner or later this will catch up with everyone at Pala. Steal all you can while you can as you continue to do. Eventually you will go to jail. Tick Tock.

Very soon none of this discussion will matter because the question as to whether the Cupeno people even exist is before the Courts now. If Robert wins the Cupeno will be forever terminated and it will be noted that the Cupeno never existed as a tribe. There are a lot of legal issues in defining who is and who is not a tribe. The BIA has taken a very strong position against the existence of the Cupeno as a tribe and as a people. At the same time the BIA and Robert Smith worked together to make Pala a Luiseno tribe. The BIA is satisfied that this served to terminate the existence of the Cupeno and are making that argument in court. It will be a special day of mourning if the Courts rule that the Cupeno do not exist. What is not being said in all of this is that the Luiseno tribe, the real one, has had their tribe stolen out from under them. All of this has not gone unnoticed and as said before the matter is now in the hands of the Courts. If the Courts decide against the Cupeno then the Cupeno will have never existed and Old Pala will not have existed either. So the BIA will be succesful in terminating (illegally) two tribes in one court decision. Only Congress has the authority to terminate a tribe but the political influence of money ignores that fact. Real protection for Kupa will come from the real people of Kupa. Yes we are standing on the edge of the abyss but we are willing to face the consequences and take the necessary chances to preserve the Cupangawichum. By the way, Cupangawichum doe not mean the people that sleep here. It means "people who sleep in the water". It was the practice of the Cupeno to sleep in the warm waters of the spring on cold nights. If you are really a Cupeno you would know that.

Willie is right, and if you do your research like Willie has done and read the facts (not the gossip, the rumors, the falsified signatures) then you too would see the truth and understand that a certain number of people are standing up to fight this while others who claim to be Cupeno are watching their heritage disappear, but it is ok, because they will get their checks and their (can't live without it) Bonus.

Anonymous said...

I do not think the BIA nor the Courts are trminating the exsistence of Cupeno people. Also, if the Agua Caliente tribe does not get recognized as a real tribe, I do not think that will terminate the Cupeno people either. The facts are this: according to this website, the EC is not representing the best interests of the tribe, one family out of many were diserolled, and the EC is representing the tribe according to your opposition. The battle in the court room will not determine the fate of Cupeno people or Old Pala Luiseno people, because they are one people under the Pala Band, and that is still a recognized tribe. If Agua Caliente is not recognized, then the EC will need to be changed, but that is it. Cupeno people are still enrolled in the tribe, the majority of tribal members are Cupeno, and their history will live on. 100 years from now, Cupeno people will still be around, and a new EC will be in charge. How do you want that generatjon to relresent who they are and where they come from?

Reinstatement_Restitution said...

The Pala Band of Mission Indians resolved to change the name of the Pala Band of Luiseno Mission Indians and identified itself as a Luiseno tribe. The BIA agreed and granted the name change. PBMI members are now Luiseno. Some PBMI members might think they are Cupeno. Both PBMI and the BIA disagree. Everyone is just descendants of allottees. Not Cupeno or Cahuilla or Diegueno, or whatever Smith enrolled so he could get a majority vote. Your CDIB will say Pala, and that is Luiseno.

The EC needs to change. It is not fair that Robert continues to sit in the chairman seat every term. There has got to be term limits. A chairman should not want to run longer then there term. We need to vote for term limits.

Anonymous said...

Um, we had term limits. It actually passed via Constitutional Amendment. I don't remember the year, maybe 2003.

At any rate Robert brought in his attorney Barbra Karshmer in a General Council meeting and she basically reversed the amendment that was voted on by the people.

The elections are always rigged. Kenny Johnson won one time and they just threw out a bunch of ballots and filled in a few extra for Robert. I think Kenny lost by just a few votes after the rigging.

We told about the Pala Raceway, the investment fund, the administrative budget, Pala Interactive and on and on. Face it folks. The story of Robert Smith is a tale of a thief.

Anonymous said...

Well the first and one of the most important steps to voting in a new chairman is to have a FAIR & HONEST ELECTION COMMITTEE. So the meeting in October when they have nominations and vote in an election committee is the most important meeting. Work on that and plan to have all your people at that meeting. There are more members against Smith than you know. When I bring up disenrollments Or the tribes money not adding up other members start talking when they realize you feel the same. Many members are against the disenrollments and know by the way it was done something shady went on. They also believe something fishy is going on when it comes to the tribes finances. Most people stay quiet because they don’t know where others stand with opinion but once you let them know your side they will speak up. People are tired of being afraid. NEW CHAIRMAN 2018!! A NEW START FOR PALA!

Anonymous said...

Hey 2:46 it was $25 million and instead of buying Warner Springs back they bought time shares. Those $25 million worth of time shares were lost during the bankruptcy that Pala (smith and nieto) forced. So because of the chairman's incompetence Warner Springs was forced in to bankruptcy sale and robert had nothing left of the $25 million to buy even though the price was only $9 million. There is still one more chapter in this story though. The bankruptcy sale provided for a buy out of the time shares, pala owned 50% of the shares,and the last known price per share was $3,500 per share. So when nieto/smith get that money where does it go? who gets it and who actually owned the time shares. my guess is that the shares were put in the names of smith/nieto. don't forget they have represented themselves as married in other land transactions.

I heard a rumor yesterday that Robert Smith didn't get to vote on the disenrollments because at their EC meeting it wasn't a tie vote.
It was Theresa Nieto and Dion Perez that pushed for the disenrollments.
If this is true then the targets should focus on Perez and his first cousin Theresa J. Nieto for the ones that started the ball rolling on the disenrollments of the Britten family.
After all these two people-animals, don't even belong on the Pala Membership rolls.They are Morongo Indians.

Why hasn't this error been corrected yet? With all the evidence along with the BIA's recommendation that the brittians be reenrolled. Why have they not been re enrolled yet? Let's put a end to all this hate and re enroll the britians

Anonymous said...

I don't think that Robert Smith realizes that by re-enrolling the Britten family members would heal the Reservation and make him look good in the eyes of the Members.
He is going to need all the votes that he van get legally this coming election.
He needs to set aside his personal feelings and do what is right for the Members in Pala.
This is the one and only way that the Tribe can become a real Tribe again instead of a divided Tribe that we have become because of ill feelings by some of the EC members against certain Tribal Members.
There is plenty to share with everyone.
At the very least people would see that Pala would be a happy and loving Tribe just like it was before the Casino was built.
Doesn't that mean anything to the Pala Members, or is everyone gotten
greedy with the Casino money.

Your Chairman should be in Prison along with who ever runs the Financial department for your Reservation Casino.
Being an outsider just using google for searching different areas that

The IRS can audit personal finances, but RS uses his position to protect himself from scrutiny. He doesn't report the money he skims because that money is not tracked. He doesn't report the funds he diverts because he can claim it it tribal business and no one challenges him. The way to catch.him is with conversion and he uses phony names to hide that.

Yes. Conversion in this way means converting tribal funds or assets into personal property. For instance, selling the used tribal vehicles and keeping the money instead of returning it to the Band. Or using the Band's money to invest in property or a business venture, like Pala Interactive, but assigning ownership to an individual, like RS. These are crimes that could be prosecuted if a few tribal members would swear out a complaint with some evidence.
