Original Pechanga asks whether the MONGOLS Motorcycle Club can take the lead in saving a sacred site in South Dakota. One of the largest motorcycle clubs certainly could lead the way, in a similar way that bikers for Muscular Dystrophy do.
HELP!
Bear Butte, SD A SACRED Site That Needs YOUR Help
Our friend Tamra Brennan, of NDNews has been working for years along with many other to protect the Bear Butte sacred site in South Dakota.Maybe the MONGOLS and Doc Cavasos can take the lead with bikers on protecting this site
This article on the struggle has many comments from Tamra, who has been so supportive of the disenrolled people of California. Remember her emails to Pechanga cousins Victor Rocha and Mark Macarro, that we wrote about HERE?There are people who are working to protect Bear Butte, but their efforts could be described as loosely organized.
Among them is Tamra Brennan, who lives near Bear Butte and identifies herself as a Cherokee tribal member. She runs Protect Bear Butte, an offshoot of Protect Sacred Sites. Both organizations are grassroots in nature and lack official nonprofit status.Protect Bear Butte's activism has so far taken the form of public information campaigns.

Nighthorse Campbell Honored Where they violate Civil Rights
Apparently, Campbell has no qualms about being honored at a location that is a known civil rights violator. The Pechanga Tribe has abused their members civil and human rights. Senator Campbell, a change in venue should be requested.
Bill Cosby avoided Chukchansi because of disenrollments and violations. Take a cue from Mr. Cosby and get a clue.
Casino Enterprise Management magazine will recognize Senator Ben Nighthorse Campbell as the "Indian Gaming Advocate of the Year." Campbell will be presented with this award Sept. 10 during CasinoFest7, held at Pechanga Resort & Casino in Temecula, Calif. National Indian Gaming Association Chairman and previous Indian Gaming Advocate of the Year award winner Ernie Stevens Jr. will preside over the ceremony.

Pechanga Resort and Casino announce MASS LAYOFFS
First, Pechanga destroyed 25% of their membership and now, they will terminate 9% of their workforce.
Amy Minnear, the lovely director of the PDC. (no really, she's a cutie) announced it today and Original Pechangas Blog has it. Teetilawuncha had the news today also.
Sad for the employees. First, a tribal member Larry Miranda was stealing their tips, now, they are losing their jobs. When will the FBI and DOJ get the indictments done?

Pechanga Elections: JUST SAY NO to Masiel
I think it's time for new leadership at Pechanga. But Andy Masiel is NOT the person.
Vote for Mark Macarro. He's smart and he knows enough not to trust Salazar people...

What is an Expert? To Pechanga, it's someone they pay to do the work
AND if they don't like what he finds, they IGNORE it.
Dr. John Johnson is the foremost authority on California Tribes, hired by Pechanga to do ancestry background on Paulina Hunter.
HERE is what he says.

What is Pechanga Thinking? Crime Pays?
Shortly, there will be indictments handed down to criminals from the Pechanga Tribe and other employees.
Is Pechanga's Empire crumbling? What started out promising, the entire tribe working to gain from tribal gaming has descended into a pit of greed, bad behavior and criminal enterprise.
The Pechanga people were united more when there was only a sand pit generating income than now, when there are billions generated.
It's amazing the change over the reservation, the evil that is present there, or should I say, prevalent?
Pechanga has spent over $50 million trying to convince Californians that they are still good people. But when the indictments come out, the story will change. How much more will Pechanga have to spend to keep themselves from being portrayed as they really are?
People of Temecula, THIS IS NOT what you voted for, this is NOT what self-reliance is. Restrain yourselves from spending your dollars at Pechanga. Support another tribal enterprise, or a local business.

Sovereignty Cracks By Tribes Own Hands
Original Pechanga's Blog is saying there will be news on court case that weakens sovereignty? When will these tribes learn that it's THEY who are attacking sovereignty. When they abuse it, they weaken it.
