Yonaguska Addresses NJ Indian Commission 9.17.08

Ronald Yonaguska Holloway, chief counsel and spokesman for the Sand Hill Band of Indians, was scheduled to speak for twenty minutes before this commission.




As it turned out there was some kind of mis-communication/snafu (and that's being quite generous) and the commission tried to impose a strict 5 minute limit on Mr Hollaway despite what Mr Hollaway and the Sand Hills believed was a prior arrangement.

After some 13 minutes of last minute consultations/negotiations/wrangling, the Commission allowed Mr Holloway 10 minutes to give the 20presentation he had worked on/prepared. (Here's an extended excerpt from the wrangling that consumed/wasted so much time.

As you will/can see Yonaguska did a great job of extemporaneously abbreviating his presentation despite the obstacles in his path.

Even with half the originally allotted time Mr Hollaway manages to make a concise and overwhelmingly powerful case.
