NATIVE_NEWS: MATTAPONI: URGENT ALERT- KING WILLIAM RESERVOIR
And now:Ish [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: Forwarded from TH T [EMAIL PROTECTED] Forwarded Message: Subj:Urgent Date: 7/10/99 11:45:40 AM Eastern Daylight Time From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] (Richard A Knebel) URGENT ALERT- KING WILLIAM RESERVOIR BACKGROUND The Mattaponi River in KingWilliam and King and Queen Counties, Virginia is home to the eagles, shad and the Mattaponi American Indian tribe. The tribe, descendants of Chief Powhatan and his daughter, Pocahontas, live on the Mattaponi River in one of the oldest reservations in the United States, established in 1658. But a new reservoir proposed by the city of Newport News would divert as much as 75 millions of gallons of water a day from the River, destroying more than 400 acres of forested wetlands and jeopardizing the Mattaponi tribe's shad fishery. Even though three independent studies have concluded that Newport News does not need the water, the city is moving forward with the King William reservoir. On Friday, June 4th, Colonel Allen Carroll, the District Engineer for the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers issued a preliminary recommendation to deny the permit for the King William Reservoir. The Colonel's decision was based on two Corps studies that demonstrated that Newport News does not need our water, our Mattaponi River! The Colonel said that because Newport News does not need the water, the destruction of our wetlands and forests, the desecration of Indian cultural and buriel sites and risks to the Mattaponi River and the Tribes' subsistence fishing could not be justified. Newport News officials, Congressmen Bateman and Scott, Senators Robb and Warner, and Governor Gilmore are all attempting to override Colonel Allan Carrolls' courageous decision. The Corps has granted an extention through July 16th for additional public comment on the recommendation to deny the permit. Newport News hopes to be able to change the Corps mind. We need to demonstrate overwhelming support for the Corps. Contact Col. Carroll Major General Sinn today ! Please write before July 16. Key points to your letters: 1. The Corps decision is based on strong administrative record. 2. Newport News does not need the water. Four independent studies support this. 3. The reservoir would jeopardize the shad fishery and flood lands sacred to the Mattaponi people. 4. The environmental consequences including the destruction of 437 acres of forested wetlands, the loss of 1000 acres of upland forests, and impact on river ecology are unacceptable.

VOL. XIV. FRIDAY, June 30, 1899 NUMBER 36 VACATION TIME. --- The grammars and the spellers, The pencils and the slates, The books that hold the fractions And the books that tell the dates. The crayons and the blackboards, And the maps upon the wall, Must all be glad together, For they won't be used till fall. They've had to work like beavers To help the children learn; And if they want a little rest, It surely is their turn. They shut their leaves with pleasure. The dear old lesson-books. And the crayons and the blackboards Put on delighted looks. So, children, just remember, When you are gone away, Your poor old slates and pencils Are keeping holiday, The grammars and the spellers Are as proud as proud can be When the boys forsake their schoolroom, And the teacher turns the key. THE INDIAN IS ALL RIGHT IF YOU GIVE HIM A SHOW. -- These were the words of Major Pratt when interviewed in New York City by a reporter of the Tribune a few days ago: "The North American Indian is all right if you give him a show," said the Major, "but he's all wrong if crowded into a corner and held against the wall. In Pennsylvania, the Indian boys and girls of our school are considered among the best farm and house help obtainable. Six hundred of our pupils have just gone out to farms and homes in eastern Pennsylvania, and there is a demand for twice as many more. It is all nonsense to say that the Indian will not work. He'll work if he's paid for it. The money they earn during vacation is their own, of course. We have 900 all told-500 boys and 400 girls. One of our Indian girls is principal of a school up in Connecticut, with two or three assistants, and with 200 pupils to take care of. Half a dozen of our girls are successful trained nurses. Fifteen of our boys are to do all the waiting at an ocean shore hotel this summer, one of the number being the headwaiter." "Have the boys any inventive faculty?" "Hardly any," said Major Pratt, "but that isn't to be wondered at. Necessity is the mother of invention, and the Indian until recently has always been taught that he didn't need civilization to be happy. Five of our boys have recently enlisted in the regular army, two having gone to Porto Rico, two to Cuba and one to Manila. Depend upon it," said Major Pratt, "the Indian is all right if you give him a fair show." = TO WHICH TRIBE DO WE BELONG? -- The Advance has this in its last year's Fourth-of-July number, and the Man-on-the-band-stand wonders if it is appropriate for us: The "I-CAN'T" savages belong to the same tribe that the "I'm just agoing-to-do-it" aborigines do, and both are near relatives of the "Don't-amount-to-much" gang. It is hard work civilizing such people. The "just-agoing-to-do-it" fellows are too numerous for their own good. They never amount to much at any time or anywhere until after they learn a better way of thinking and acting. === A BIT OF COMFORT. - A writer says: No wise man ever lived who did not at times make a fool of himself. Another says: If we look for the contented man we may often find him asleep when he ought to be at work.

NATIVE_NEWS: view from the hogan
And now:Ish [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: The following information has not been confirmed and is distributed for informational purposes only...Ish X-Originating-IP: [165.113.219.233] From: "Jake Davies" [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: view from the hogan Date: Sun, 11 Jul 1999 10:22:51 MST Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; format=flowed The View From The Hogan 3 July 1999 204 days till "the final solution" Notes from Big Mt. Yaa'tee Once again it's been a very busy month on the land. A new set of notices have gone out to the residents telling them their "excess" animals will be taken from them. Basically the people are being reminded that at some undefined point in the future their livliehood will be threatened. As one supporter noted "Grandmothers are never quite sure when to be prepared to defend their homesite and livestock." This is just a part of the continued attempt by the BIA/HTC/US Govt to harass these people into leaving this coal-rich land. By making sure that their flocks are too small to be able to support a family, the families need to find other sources of livliehood, which usually means going off the Rez to find wage work. Eventually this causes the break up of the family, or the family will tire of this harassment and decide to "voluntarily" relocate. Not only is this economic terrorism, it is also psychological terrorism. Part of the impoundment notice reads "in order to achieve full compliance with all the grazing permits the agency range staff will begin conducting random unnnaounced inventories throughout the year. We are addressing you of this possibility so that you are not alarmed or surprised by our presence on a weekend or at irregular hours." Imagine getting a letter that tells you that at some point in the next year someone will enter your home and rape a member of your family! To those of you that do not know these traditional people, this may sound like a gross over-exaggeration, but the truth is that in ways we can little understand, the land is a part of these people, the presence of an armed threat travelling on their land violates these people just the same as if their hogans were being entered. The sheep are not "economic units", any observer of the Navajo will tell you that the closest term we have in the white-mans language to define the sheep is "relatives". By threatening the sheep, and constantly "patrolling" the land a climate of fear is established. The Hopi Tribal Council continues with its inept and amateurish media campaign on the situation here. This week in the local paper is an "article" on Kee Shays situation that is little more than a reprint of a HTC press release. Kee Shays family live alongside the fence that seperates the so-called HPL from the So-called NPL. When the fence was constructed, it cut right through his families customary use area, leaving the winter camp on one side of the fence, the summer camp on the other. Because of this the family have not been involved in the "accomodation" process, and has continued to make use of their land, The Hopi Tribal Council considers his family trespassers. "according to the tribe, Shays actions are considered harmful to both Navajo and Hopi families." "When outside individuals illegally trespass and allow their animals to graze on lands that already suffer from diminished capacity, we hurt both Navajo and Hopi families living on HPL." "Shays actions in arguing his case through the media is clearly an effort to disrupt and use for his own benefit the ongoing peaceful process of accomodation" "The media needs to be more responsible in not agitating situations that could hurt the interests of Hopi and Navajo families on the HPL." What on earth are they talking about?!!! The Shays' have always been members of the Big Mountain community, to classify them as outsiders is absurd. And how is he threatening the Hopi Tribe? The nearest Navajo resident on HPL is over 10 miles away, and the nearest Hopi resident well over 20 miles away. So whose grass is he "stealing". As for the media "agitating" the situation, all I can say is I sure hope the media is not "agitating" the situation in Kosovo by reporting on what is happening. My interpretation of this "article" is that the HTC is setting the stage to implement their "Exclusion Law" in preparation to remove all support the resisters here have. With this insidious law the HTC will be able to define who is an "outsider", and they will be able to define what constitutes a threat to the tribe. If they are allowed to get away with it the people here will be living under virtual martial law. They (the HTC) certainly don't want the media to report on that. (sometime later)Well, it seems that my prediction that the Hopi Tribal Council (and their masters, Peabody and the U.S. Govt.) are escalating their moves against the peoples
NATIVE_NEWS: UPDATE: CAMP JUSTICE
And now:Ish [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: The following information has been independently verified as pretty much what the second party has heard, as well...Ish From: Shemah [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [FN] White Clay, via Floyd Hand To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] : I just got off the phone from speaking with Floyd Hand. I have his permission to post what we talked about, and here are some of the points he wished stressed: NE Governor Johanns will be meeting with Oglala Souix leaders on Tuesday, at 2 p.m. Please Email the governor indicating your support for Camp Justice, and concern over the unsolved murders, and the presence of the four bars within 80 yards of the Pine Ridge reservation. Per a Supreme Court ruling (he didn't have those papers right on-hand and I could call back and get more specifics), no liquor is to legally allowed to be sold within a two-mile boundary of any Indian reservation. They are asking (among other things) that this be finally enforced. The bars in White Clay clearly abrogated this law, being a bare 80 yards from the Pine Ridge Reservation. He has told me that so far 17 people have been incarcerated, and that the judge is setting inflated high bails for these misdemeanor arrests, at $2,000. snipped as pertinent to another list they need is people in numbers right now, and he urges anyone who can, to come... and if you can't, come anyway! Barring that, what they next need is supplies and money. One of the other things that Floyd asked me to stress was that this is a SPIRITUAL camp it is not an AIM camp. He said yes, AIM is there, but they are there for security; but the leadership of the camp and marches is Oglala Sioux, not AIM.People go about their normal business in the daytime and at night they have meetings and songs and prayers. Families are welcome, everyone is welcome! ... REALLY bad news. The KKK seems to be gathering its militia, he said. So far these have taken the form of car gangs from Nebraska and Colorado, but also, local authorities don't so far seem inclined to interfere. Floyd believes that the government is going to sit on their hands and let the KKK start a war up there in White Clay. Along the same lines, besides the 17 that have been arrested and high bails set, innocent people (Native Americans) crossing the border to do their shopping in the grocery in White Clay are being frisked by the Highway Patrol. The Oglala leadership has been speaking to a Captain Parker of the NE Hwy Patrol about this, but his response was a bit unclear. Floyd said that the *innocent* white people of Clay have left... packed their belongings and moved out. I took this to mean that they were afraid of the Native Americans coming in and disrupting their town, but he told me that I was not listening (I apologized), and that it was because of the KKK militia that they were leaving the town. As a last note, he said that there were many people apparently sending "official" information out via Email who are NOT there, and who came by that information second-hand. He said only himself and Tom Poor Bear are an official source of information, and if anyone has any questions or needs clarification about anything they should PLEASE call him directly at (605) 867-5672, or Tom Poor Bear at the Tribal Office at (605) 867-5821. If Floyd is not home, his wife, Natalie, also can answer any questions. This is as accurate an account of our conversation as I can give, I have not added any personal opinions or anything other than what Floyd told me directly himself, and not only do I have his permission to post this, but it was his express wish that I send out this information.

[He then said:] I am Red Cloud. The Great Spirit raised both the white man and theIndian. I think He raised the Indian first. He raised me in this land and it belongs to me. The white man was raised over the great waters, and his land is over there. Since they crossed the sea, I have given them room. There are now white people all about me. I have but a small spot of land left. The Great Spirit told me to keep it. I went and told the Great Father so. Since I came back, I have nothing more to say. I told all to tim Great Father. I was to tell all the Great Father said to my nation. I told them all of it. Whatever I do, my people will do the same. Whatever the Great Spirit tells me to do I will do. I have not yet done what the Great Father told me to do. God raised us Indians. We are two nations. Whatever we decide to do, we want to do together. I must ask you to wait. I am trying to live peaceably. I told the Great Father so. When I went to him I asked no annuity goods; all I asked was for my lands--the little spot I have left. If you have any goods to give, I want you to wait awhile. I will then tell you what to do with them. Between here and the railroad is much land. I have not been paid for it. I want to think of it. General SMITH. Much that Red Cloud has said is true. He and those who were with him East last summer saw a great many white people. They are, as he knows, like the leaves of the trees, or the blades of grass on the praprairie, in number. Their game is increasing , while the game of the red man is decreasing. It is not worth while to talk of the past. The white man wants the red man to meet him in council and decide what can bo done for their good. Those who went to Washington last summer know that the Great Father has many children to see. They come from the East, and the West, and the North, and the South, and even from over tho great water to see him. The Great Father cannot see to everything himself; he must have many to assist him. The Great Father's heart is good toward the red man. The Great Father knew that the red man was abused and cheated, and so he selected good men, whose hearts are good, to come among them and see that their agents do right with them. These are good men, and do not receive any pay for coming among you. One of these men is here now. Mr. Brunot has come to see that all is good with you. You know that I have always been your friend. I told you that the Great Father, knowing that many bad white men would come in selling whisky and getting the Indians' guns and ponies, and that the longer they remained here the worse it would be getting, wanted them to go farther away to the north, where bad men would not get to them. I told you that we could not give any rations here but for a short time longer, and that I wanted you to select a place for your agency, where the goods now being brought can be sent. You told me you would see your people in council and select a place for your agency. When I was East I told the Great Father that your hearts were good and that you were now in council here to decide where your agency should be located. The Great Father's heart was glad, and he sent his messenger here to hear your words. A large quantity of supplies has been bought, and will be sent to you as soon as you decide where they shall go. There is now but a short time in which to erect the necessary buildings for your agency. You should select the place at once, so that your 24 REPORT OF THE COMMISSIONER OF INDIAN AFFAIRS. squaws, and children, and people will not suffer, as I shall probably soon have orders to issue no more rations here. The messenger of the Great Father will now speak to you. Mr. BRUNOT. You have all seen me before, and you know that I come because my heart was good toward the Indian. You know that I come here now beccause I am your friend. I have come here now for one purpose, to talk about one thing. It is the beginning of what is right between the white man and the Indian. I want all to taIk about one thing. With the Indian at Fort Laramie, and white men all along the river, we are afraid of trouble. When the Indians have anything that is good, some bad white men want to get it. They give the Indian whisky. It is bad for them. The white men

And now:Ish [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: From: Piercing Eyes [EMAIL PROTECTED] forwarded for informational purposes only..contents have not been verified... From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: Sun, 11 Jul 1999 14:06:17 EDT Subject: Lower Tobacco Prices Help Indians Lower Tobacco Prices Help Indians .c The Associated Press By MICHAEL HILL CANASTOTA, N.Y. (AP) - When James Case runs out of smokes, his choice is clear. His brand, Marlboro Lights, costs $27.84 per carton at the Express Mart. Across the street, at the Sav On convenience store, run by the Oneida Indian Nation, the price is $25.50. The Sav On shop, a few feet beyond the reach of New York state's 56-cent-a-pack tax, is one outpost in a nationwide enterprise that began with small stores on often isolated Indian reservations and grew into a multimillion dollar business. The cut-rate tobacco prices that lure local resident Case and a steady stream of customers through the door are also available on the Internet. Cyber-retailers with names like ``Peace Pipe'' and ``Tax Free Cigarettes'' offer discounts to any consumer with a modem and a credit card. Of late, however, their ability to sidestep state taxes that can run as high as $1 a pack (in Alaska and Hawaii) is drawing the ire of state governments and tax-paying competitors as tobacco lawsuits force cigarette prices higher. Arizona misses out on an estimated $16.4 million in unremitted tobacco taxes each year, Florida $15.9 million and Kansas $1.6 million, according to a survey last fall by the Federation of Tax Administrators. States have the right, recognized by the U.S. Supreme Court, to require Indian nations to collect and remit state taxes on reservation sales of tobacco and gasoline to outsiders. But because Indian nations are sovereign, states cannot force them to do that. ``You've got a right without a remedy,'' says Greg Scott, counsel to the National Association of Convenience Stores. The association, along with its New York counterpart, is pursuing a lawsuit trying to compel New York to enforce taxation. The state loses at least $200 million in annual tax revenue from Indian sales of cigarettes and gasoline to non-Indians, according to David Cherubin, an attorney for the New York Association of Convenience Stores. He had no breakdown for tobacco only, and New York was not among the 35 states that responded to the tax administrators' survey. A trial-level judge heard arguments in the 3-year-old case in April, and his ruling is considered imminent. To collect tobacco taxes, some states make compacts with individual tribes. As of February, Scott says, he knew of 11 states that had compacts with at least some tribes within their borders, but Indians in Kansas, Michigan, Nebraska, New York, Oklahoma, South Dakota and Washington freely sell cigarettes to non-tribal members without remitting state taxes. Twenty-seven states have federally recognized Indian nations. A number of states have been unwilling or unable to reach compacts. In New York, for instance, sporadic efforts to reach tax agreements with tribes in the Iroquois confederacy prompted protests that briefly closed an expressway south of Buffalo in 1992 and, on May 18, 1997, touched off a melee with troopers in riot gear over a bonfire on an interstate highway near Syracuse. Many in the confederacy, which includes the Cayugas, Mohawks, Oneidas, Onondagas, Senecas and Tuscaroras, saw it as a fight not over tax dollars, but over their sovereignty. Four days after the bonfire, Gov. George Pataki abandoned compact efforts, saying he respected that sovereignty. W. Ron Allen, president of the National Congress of American Indians, says Indian retail businesses have ``gotten pretty well established over the last five to 10 years'' and growth has slowed. But expansion on the World Wide Web has been robust. State Assemblyman Jeffrey Klein says the number of tax-free Web sites set up just by Seneca retailers in western New York appears to have tripled, from eight or nine a year ago to a few dozen now. The Web sites typically tout the retailers' tax-free status and include prices on dozens of cigarette brands, from Camel and Winston to generics. A ``value brand'' like Prime, which retails for $21.34 per 10-pack carton off reservation, is offered on the Internet for $16.75 plus $1.50 shipping. Prices for other off-brand cigarettes can dip below $10. When prices rise, ``the people call and scream,'' says Michelle Papineau of the Smoke Signals shop, near Buffalo, N.Y. ``That's usually when a lot more people jump on the Internet and look for cheaper cigarettes.'' ``What we're doing is perfectly legal,'' says Morgan Reid of JR's Smoke Shop on Seneca land. ``The taxpayer finally gets a break.'' But some states are cracking down on the tax-free retailers. In January, Washington state Liquor Control Board agents seized 7,000 cartons of cigarettes from a grocery store on the Yakama reservation. Officials say the seized cigarettes
