There was a lot of land put in trust for Indian tribes, the Indian Child Welfare Act was amended, and the process for Federal Acknowledgement was streamlined. He is quoted as standing up to the Chairman of the House Sub-Committee on Indian Affairs during hearings on the revisions to the Federal Acknowledgement process. <br /><br />His record on disenrollment is miserable, but the principle of protecting tribal sovereignty is an important one, and one which the Agua Caliente Cupeno will work to protect also. Don't get me wrong. I think his actions on behalf of the Pala EC were reprehensible. There would have been no compromise of tribal sovereignty to instruct the Pala EC to uphold the 1989 Final Decision. Instead he jumped through hoops to pretend that a meeting and an election are the same thing, that an Enrollment Ordinance that says it won't affect the status of members already enrolled actually allows the EC to disenroll members, and to allow the Pala EC to change the blood degree of Margarita Brittain. It was a disgusting effort to support Robert Smith's evil agenda.<br /><br />Anyway Larry Roberts is acting AS-IA. Someone new will be nominated and approved by Congress. He or she will inherit a corrupt agency full of corrupt employees, a basket load of problems that were created in the past, and relationships with a bunch of crooked tribal leaders.<br /><br />No one person can solve all these issues if people don't want to fix them. It seems that just as many people like it the way it is as want positive change. Who can agree what is best for Indians when there are hundreds of nations with their own special needs? The solution for some will cause problems for others unless change is managed carefully and isolated to impact only those that can benefit.<br /><br />I don't know why the BIA can't amend their policies to isolate the impact on those affected instead of applying them to all Indians. That is the only way to make sure that they do no harm. I guess it is too novel an idea, or they are just too lazy to do the work.<br /><br />My bet is on the latter.<br /><br />Reinstatement_Restitutionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02930007890367591643noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2352705933637881248.post-86546980816468743422015-12-12T01:01:54.176-08:002015-12-12T01:01:54.176-08:00How is anything suppose to get done when these guy...How is anything suppose to get done when these guys come in for a few years, and right when they should be making a decision towards disenrollment they leave and a new face comes in and the process starts all over again?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2352705933637881248.post-42882764808636490842015-12-11T22:22:55.803-08:002015-12-11T22:22:55.803-08:00Washburn is not man enough to take on the challeng...Washburn is not man enough to take on the challenges of the Indians in Indian country, so he is taking the easy way out.<br />Chicken shit asshole.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2352705933637881248.post-58614525174836163292015-12-11T17:55:07.485-08:002015-12-11T17:55:07.485-08:00I wonder how much money Mark Macarro and Robert Sm...I wonder how much money Mark Macarro and Robert Smith paid him to cover up their bullshit on dis-enrollment issues.<br />And that other pig face bitch Amy Douchbag Smith,the evil twin sister of Robert Smith.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2352705933637881248.post-33920341751662679642015-12-11T13:33:25.201-08:002015-12-11T13:33:25.201-08:00I hope one day that he gets disenrolled, so he can...I hope one day that he gets disenrolled, so he can understand our pain, since he did nothing to help the disenrolled while he was there.
