What is the "no good plan" or one member's vision for the tribe and being carried out by the current tribal council

1. Tribal court- to send fellow tribal members to prison
2. Tribal police- to make sure nobody can do what they did in 03' takeover
3. Take away the percap from tribal members who have gone against them
4. Disenrollment- there's a list
5. Tribal bank- Tribal members won't know the true state of the tribe's finances.
6. Decrease percap to no more percap. Zero.
7. Out of state tribal members are slowly losing their tribal membership rights. Will they eventually be disenrolled?

Was cutting the percap a way to rein the people in? Are certain leaders hoping that if their "no good plan" is carried out successfully, the people will come flocking back to the clan houses? Is this really all about power, influence, and greed? You know some people are funny that way; they don't like OTHER people to have anything.

I wonder why they don't just get a dog to lord over and kick around. A certain breed of dog can provide great companionship and they will unconditionally love their masters. Dogs are loyal to their masters unlike the tribal members who no longer support you.

  1. I think certain ones of you already have those dogs to kick around and lord over. The dogs around here may be loyal to their masters but it is obvious that the masters don't give a crap about their dogs. Is that how you also treat your homes and your families?

    It doesn't matter who the council has been throughout the last decades - as soon as something occurs that someone doesn't like, then the council becomes tyrants, thieves, liars, and whatever other deragatory things you can think of. It's so funny how you place so much more significance on money than you do on following the traditions of our ancestors. We were a stronger tribe and strong in our traditions before the casino came and the per cap came. Maybe this is the great spirit's way of trying to get you all to take a good look at yourselves and see how greedy you've become. It takes a strong council to do what is right for the future of the tribe and a weak tribal member to whine and cry like you do. Think how much you could accomplish if you took this energy and got a job.

    A true meskwaki wouldn't talk the way you talk here on these blogs.
