FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
FRIDAY DECEMBER 4, 1998
CONTACT: CHIEF RAYMOND YOWELL
TELEPHONE: +01 (702) 744-4381
Today, through Raymond D. Yowell, Chief of the Western Shoshone
National
Council, the Western Shoshone people filed in the United States
District
Court for Nevada, PLAINTIFFS' OPPOSITION TO DEFENDANTS' MOTION TO
DISMISS
(SECOND) AND MOTION TO DISSOLVE OR MODIFY PRELIMINARY INJUNCTION,
Case Number: CV-S-97-327HDM(RHL), in an ongoing effort to protect
the
Western Shoshone peoples' way of life.
This� litigation� is� an� undertaking� by� the
Western Shoshone National Council, original traditional form of
government of the Western Shoshone Nation--to protect the way of
life
and� main� livelihood� of� many� individual� citizens� of� the
Western Shoshone Nation. One element of this action is an attempt
to
prevent further harassment, threats, and intimidation by the United
States
against Western Shoshone citizens. Other elements relate to
protection
against interference or infringement by Defendants of older and
continuing
Western Shoshone traditional� life� ways� within� their� ancestral
lands.
According to Representative John Wells, Southern Representative of
the
Western Shoshone Nation to the Western Shoshone National Council,
������� "The United States government would have this matter to
be
bogged
������� down in a myriad of legal complexities in issues of federal
civil
������� procedure, than rather have to address the core issues
arising
under
������� the United States Constitution, laws, or treaties."
Further Rep. Wells added,
������� "The range of legal issues asserted by the Western
Shoshone
������� National Council through Chief Yowell includes aboriginal
lifestyle
������� rights which continue to be a live issue in this litigation
requiring
������� protection, but also extends to the Western Shoshone
National
������� Council's role as protector of the rights of individual
citizens
of
������� the Western Shoshone Nation."
The Western Shoshone National Council brought this suit as an
economical
and effective way to litigate the stated issues, promoting uniformity
of
decisions as to the persons similarly situated, without sacrificing
procedural fairness. The instant case is undertaken as a means of
survival
for the Western Shoshone Nation following the agreement in Article VI
of
the 1863 Treaty of Ruby Valley.
