Thousands of Native American Indians are illegaly being kicked off reservations and kicked out of tribes all over the US! http://www.NewsForNatives.com

Dis enrolled, Dis enfranchised, Exiled, whatever you want to call it, its happening to thousands of Indians across America. Apparently what the whites FAILED to do, money, or at least the love of it, is now accomplishing.

Thousands of Native Americans are being kicked out of their tribes. Many of these outcast Indians have proven beyond a shadow of a doubt through genealogy, historical documents and deeds and other documents that they are members of their tribe but all to no avail. These Indians without a tribe and without land are being kicked off of the reservations, kicked out of the schools, exiled and ostracized.

In some cases, the tribal councils own efforts to prove they are not of direct lineal decent have proven that the subjects ARE of enough blood to be a member, sometimes even more blood than the accusers.

What would cause entire families of Indians to be uprooted from their homes where they have lived their entire lives, some who even built the homes they lived in, to suddenly be kicked out? What would cause tribes all over the country to start kicking thousands of its own members out into the street with no recourse for appeal or even a trial of any type? according to the tribes, [its] Citizenship decisions are an integral and important process the tribe uses to preserve our lineage Critics say that it is all about money. Its simple math; The more Indians are kicked out, the greater casino allowance for the remaining tribal members.

One has only to look at Mark Macarro and the Pechanga conflict or Stanley Crooks and the Shakopee Mdewakanton Sioux to see clearly the amount of favoritism, injustice and Tribal Corruption that is running rampant all across the United States, or at least wherever there are casinos involved.

Members of some tribes make 30+ thousand dollars per month per person. Yes, that means a family of 8 would make $240,000 per month. But apparently thats just not enough, they have to make more and more and more so they start dropping the families with the least amount of pull, with the least say in affairs.

Many people might be thinking, "what has this got to do with me? Well, many of the Indians who were kicked out of the tribe are on government assistance plans, so YOUR taxes are paying for the food, shelter, education, medical, etc of Indians whose tribes make HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS OF DOLLARS per year!

Reservations are for the benefited of the members of the tribes, well, funny things is the smaller the tribe, the more beneficial it is to a very small few.

  • this family was a part of the tribe in the bad times, so saying it is about money is dumb

  • the family wants in since that is their history. they were a proud member of the tribe when the times were bad, so saying it is JUSt about money is missing the point

  • my tribe isn't rich at all. i live on checks i work for. it would hurt to be kicked off my rez for no reason. stop running a casino, then maybe you won't have any problems.

  • Those damn greedy white peopl........oh. My bad.

  • Spokesman for the tribe is as smooth and smarmy as any white lawyer. Congratulations Native Tribes, you are now white. That means there are no more Native peoples and there are no more treaties. No more Indian lands. The White man wins again. You are throwing it away and grinning to yourselves the whole time. The money gets them every time.

  • That's sad to here because they've been doing this in Africa , and STILL ARE, for hundreds of years. AVATAR is the story of our two peoples and when the movie hit whites just took it as a love story never considering the symbolism behind it They purposely didn't allow this movie to win an Oscar that year so I guest the truth does hurt.

  • @lucy9359 for 100s of years and enough is enough. You guys stays strong up there and don't let them intimidate you or pull "the race card" argument. The US still has a "race" problem, a per-existing condition that they have yet to find a cure for and this illness has spread and "sicken" the world with it. Now the universe is out of balance so our Creator must intervene to restore order and balance for our people. This world has truly gone MAD!

  • @lucy9359 or on the Rez and her comment was that her "white" Native-American friend lives on a reservation with no problems-Really? I've been watching so many videos on fake NAs until I couldn't take it anymore. I didn't realize how out of hand this has gotten and "WE" are at the end the losers in this. Unless it is concerned about Native and African Americans I can care less about anyone else because they only come in to "leech" off the community. Our communities have been suffering

  • @lucy9359 very long time and both of our communities have been "UNDER SEIDGE" against what we call "white terror" I mean here in Florida we have whites coming in from the Caribbean who try to associate with the black community but really take !@#$ behind our backs and are only concerned with their special interest. I had a conversation one time about how NAtive American in Florida, for the most part, have been successful but the overwhelming majority STILL live in abject poverty in

  • @Prodma000 not in Canada your looking at it from the perspective of an American and believe me I can't see the difference between black or white Americans when it comes to polititics, your all so going to save your Country lol good luck with that one....In Canada we are the pillaged of America only good for our natural resources and what you all can use us for, so we don't quite believe in the were going to fix our Nations,lol what a joke, anyway...

  • @lucy9359 Some are coming to the realization but the problem with whites, in general, is that things only concern them when "they" feel threaten. Blacks will never trust the government. Only are "Uncle Tom's" do that. We don't even trust the NAACP and the Congressional Black Caucus because whites control that too and it's been that way for some time. People from the outside looking in on our community are so judgmental and never consider that a war has been waged against us for a
