Nooksack 306 plan Seattle rally
September 19, 2013

The Bellingham Herald
Nooksack Indian Tribe members threatened with expulsion from
the tribe have scheduled a protest march and rally in Seattle Friday,
Sept. 20.
Those who support tribal Chairman Bob Kelly and the
expulsion process had planned their own rally near the tribe's Deming
headquarters about the same time. But an event organizer tells me they
have decided to cancel it and focus on the Nooksack Days cultural events
that also get under way on Friday.
Those facing expulsion say
they will rally with their supporters in Occidental Park, South Main
Street and Occidental Avenue S. at 11 a.m. At 11:45, they plan to march
to the Norton Building, 801 Second Ave., for a noon rally there.
A
law firm that is defending the expulsion process on behalf of Kelly and
his tribal council backers has its office in the Norton Building.
A
total of 306 members of the 2,000-member Whatcom County-based tribe are
facing loss of tribal membership and the housing and medical benefits
and fishing rights that go with it. Kelly and his supporters argue that
the 306 were mistakenly granted tribal membership in the 1980s, and
their removal would correct that mistake.

As with any new venture, the start up needs a face to help promote the brand. That face belongs to none other than professional poker player, Phil Ivey. Ivey is not new to being the face behind a poker room startup, back in 2004, Ivey was one of the most popular players backing resurrected poker room Full Tilt Poker.
