Needs a better title (muses to self)

I like to mind my own business except when it comes to politics. I am very passionate about politics. I prefer to be vocal about any/all injustices and fighting for what is right. I figure since this is our Tribe we can keep the awfulness down to a minimum. The only drama I like in my life is which ice cream flavor to choose, one scoop or two. Karma is a beast to contend with and I am all too aware of what goes around, comes around. What actions are worthy of that place? Roger Rabbit was being framed by a loony tune. (That is the only reference that I am comfortable addressing) I wonder if Judge Doom went to tune hell

Defamation of character/ how to ruin someone

I have witnessed the spiteful, lying, delusional, wretched, desperate, misery at its worst behavior ever. It is not a pretty sight but it is good to have knowledge of this sort awfulness. I feel somewhat enlightened but it also makes feel like I have to bathe.

It is common knowledge now and everybody knows.

Who: Do I really have to say?

What: Villainized

When: Years

Why: Who is going to believe you?

How: It is in print & there’s “evidence”. Respectable people say so.

Who stole all the Tribe’s money?

Who is responsible for the percap cuts?

Who shut down the casino?

Who ruined our Tribe?

Ask anyone because it has been pounded into people’s heads that the people who make up the Walker council are to blame for all the Tribe’s troubles. Their reputations are already ruined and I doubt that they will ever be able to get back on the tribal council. It does not matter how much they proclaim their innocence. It is disheartening to see all this going on and the true culprits remain free of any scrutiny.

I think that anyone that has been a victim of false accusations should speak up and clear their name.  They could also sue for defamation of character… cha -ching.

You can't buy my support... how much were you offering?

Sorry, Tribe, every election that rolls around will continue to bring the same dismal results tribal councils. Cue the screams of disbelief all around when its time for nominations. (List of names) who are running for the tribal council? Perhaps, they hope that the tribal members have a slight case of amnesia of all the “self -righteous” things they have done in the name of the Tribe. You must learn to forgive and forget because people are capable of change. Snorts incredulously, um I prefer to remember and be cautious. I am still suspicious of chief appointed councils… It has been rumored that the $400,000 cash withdrawal was to pay for supporters. If, I had know about the supporter money I would have collected the money and dutifully shown up at the tribal center to show my false support. I would have even waved around a sign that said, BAD INDIANS and put on my best-constipated face. Little did they know my fictional sign was not reffering to the elected tribal council but the chief appointed council. Ha!

*The Walker council was giving all the tribal members $5,000 checks for any inconvenience or grief caused by the takeover. I knew about that money so I collected, but I would have really like some of that $400,000. Pictures a sign. Pink, glitterfied, BAD INDIANS

Lookit here all you's here are Meskwaki Indians now

TITLE 10. Enrollment
Article II
Tribal Rolls
Chapter 1. Establishment
Sec. 10-3101. Base Roll
The Base Roll of the Tribe shall be the official census roll of January 1, 1937, of the Sac and Fox Tribe in Iowa, except those designated in the roll as non-enrolled members of the Tribe.

The BIA took it upon themselves to count all the people who were on or around the settlement in 1937 as official Meskwaki Indians. Meskwakis, that ministry group (whites) and the powwow stragglers (natives from other Tribes that hung around after powwows.)

It is the latter whose offspring who are the troublemakers of this Tribe. They show no remorse of the havoc they wreak on this Tribe because they know they do not belong around here. The year 1937 was the only time the Tribe had to make exemptions for those who don’t meet the Tribe's eligibility for enrollment.

Looters: Come one, Come all

There are four pages of people from Oklahoma who were enrolled in the Meskwaki Tribe? Font size, spacing tallies up to how many people? Are they the lost Meskwakis or are they just taking advantage of a disorganized Tribe. I wonder if the Tribe will look into this claim or any claim of enrollment fraud. I am sure nobody wants to step on any toes.

Casino Jack

I rented that movie just because there were Native American actors in it. Well, it turns out it was about that Jack Abramoff. Does that ring a bell? Troglodytes and monkeys. Whispers I think he was referring to Indians. Oh, the horror. Our Tribe paid a consulting fee of $150, 000 to Greenberg & Traurig in 2003. That’s the only transaction that I am aware of, but perhaps we paid more. You know, because the 2003 audit is full of secrets meaning nobody can see through the blacked out pages. I wonder if our Tribe has received any money from Scanlon since he was ordered to compensate over $20 million to former Indian Tribe clients. I know the Meskwaki Tribe was one of them. I didn’t realize you have to pay people a bunch of money to talk smack about Indians. I always thought you could get it for free. *Concentrates on taking the higher road. Struggles.

Title 10. Enrollment Procedure

Article IV.
Enrollment Procedure

CHAPTER 1. APPLICATIONS
Sec. 10-4101. Form and Contents of Application

(3) An ancestry chart;
(4) A copy of the applicant’s social security card;
(5) DNA test results using a twelve- (12) marker protocol, establishing with a 98% or greater degree of certainty that the applicant is the child of an enrolled male member of the Meskwaki Tribe.
( c) The applicant or person completing the application pursuant to Section 10- 4102 must certify under penalty of perjury that the information given is true, and must further acknowledge that fraudulently providing information on an application will render applicant’s enrollment voidable.

Has elitism found its way to our Tribe's enrollment requirements?

Our Tribe has already enrolled some individuals’ whose paternal fathers are not enrolled Meskwaki men. Dunno how that happened.This slip up has just made way or set precedent for other individuals who should be enrolled based on this fact alone. What's a few more thousand people?

It's either Meskwaki women will be able to enroll their children or there will be some people disenrolled.
” Hey, they’re already enrolled!” “Just leave it alone.” “From this moment on like right now, we will be more strict about this sort of stuff." Cites unfairness
Will Meskwaki women ever be able to enroll their children? I highly doubt it especially after reading this case.
