But what sucks is that you can'...Ok, I hear you. But what sucks is that you can't have a "Tribe" for every family.<br /><br /> The Curl's Have Toyon/Nor Cal Wintu Now, everyone knows that, the Nor Muks are going to stay the Nor Muks, No doubt about it. And now caleen has her whack jobs. And The United Bands rep about 400 people, most of whom left the Curl/Malone board because they were violating everyones rights, and no one has ever broke their strangle-hold on power, YET.<br /><br /> Being several bands of Wintu is certainly a lucritive (if your daunom, or elpom), but not so much, if your winnemem, nomtipom, or Nom sus. Its still a hellovan idea, all 9 bands. But some are gone altogether, like Maybe caleen should be Puisus, so the real winnemem families can rep the mccloud area, that should be. Or maybe frank la pena will finally move home and do what he shoulda been doing for the last 40 years up here in shasta county rather than in sacramento? <br /><br /> Some areas I seriously doubt would have the membership to represent themselves, much akin to Buena Vista rancheria, with about 7adult members. I think we can agree that this should not be happening to the wintu, or to other groups. And perhaps a consolodation of bands is the answer the the smaller groups weaknesses. I would like to think so.<br /><br /> Because the one thing thats for sure here is that the members want trad. in their lives, and if identifying as a trad. band of Wintu helps to accomplish this then the tribal councils (nor muk, toyon/norcal/curl, caleens wwo, and the united bands; shoulda' done it a LONG TIME AGO. <br /><br /> There is another issue of unravelling members lineage, multiple or several band descent, and village location. Remember we're talking 1840 Reading and Bidwell started working the tribe, so like caleen said, there are people from the maidu all the way to covelo and beyond that deserve to be given an equal opportunity to enroll, and be involved in their trib, as we continue to try to strive toward unity and federal acknowlegement.<br /><br />good morning tribal council members.Nor Cal Bloggerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07716435687148981071noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4782251286456438882.post-62495167353518491092010-02-22T06:10:17.623-08:002010-02-22T06:10:17.623-08:00Don't fool your self! The so called Pit River ...Don't fool your self! The so called Pit River Tribe has been struggling ever since that dam constitution was adopted. We can never agree on anything. Down river's want everything built down river and us up rivers, well we get nothing. The only way we can be succesfull is if we seperate. Each band or I should say each of the 11 Pit River Tribes should be federally recognized seperatly. Right now were set up like a federation not a tribe! Trust me don't make the same mistake we did. Get federally recognized seperatly!Hewisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04864225807254074605noreply@blogger.com
