We aim to expand the initiative to
end homelessness in American Indian communities across the country. Contact us

can work in your community.
It is good to see people helping our
casino recognized brother and sister tribes however, I believe that it is also
time for this government to rethink tribes that we have so badly abused,
assimilated or ignored in the past!
Up until the early 1980’s each
tribe in Indian country united as one, the government tried so hard to show
nice to each tribe that we actually ripped most of them apart!
Let us take my people for instance,
then multiply this by thousands.
The government wanted to recognize
the Mohegan tribe, a few of the tribe wanted a reservation, the government also
wanted to do away with some land now made useless by the United Nuclear
corporation testing their nuclear power plants being built for our navy, alas
any tribal member voting for this land as a reservation would become recognized
by the government, the rest would fall by the wayside!
Now we have some 7 or 8 Mohegan
tribes?
The Pequot land was vacant for many
years until the then Mohegan tribe of the 1960’s took control, now we have some
government casino Pequot's alive and living on the land?
We may choose not to recognize
these people however, we do need to help them!
