I again call upon National Congress of American Indians & President Fawn Sharp to denounce the atrocious Indigenous human rights abuse suffered by The Nooksack 306. NCAI should honor its roots as a civil rights organization, denounce domestic Indigenous human rights abuse & square itself on the right side of history.

We have HUGE news. The United Nations has *for the FIRST time ever* called on Prez Joe Biden to immediately halt 21 evictions of our wrongly disenrolled people. The UN has never before called upon the US to stop a tribe from committing human rights violations.

Nooksack politicians have persecuted every The Nooksack 306 who has challenged their authority. They fired George Adams, the tribe's Lhéchelesem language teacher. They cyber-harassed & recalled Carmen Tageant. They fired Tribal GED teacher Debbie Alexander & disenrolled her family.

1/ Deborah Alexander "was fired as the tribe’s GED teacher. Three months after that she was disenrolled....When [George] Adams was fired, the after school Lhéchelesem language program ended." indiancountrytoday.com/archive/disenr…

2/ "Tageant was not among the [The Nooksack 306], but she was outspoken in her support of them. 'When my picture was placed on Facebook, I was standing up vocally' against disenrollment, she says." Carmen was later recalled, illegally, by tribal politicians. crosscut.com/equity/2020/02…

3/ Dr. David Wilkins: “Nooksack ha[s] degraded into a state of an anarchic nation. Tribal politicians have created such a despotic social and political climate that Tribal citizens are seeking political asylum in other Native nations.” The Nooksack 306 lastrealindians.com/news/2019/8/13…

"Attorney Gabe Galanda, who is representing those [The Nooksack 306] facing eviction, said the tribe’s response to the U.N.’s appeal was itself full of misinformation and an attempt to minimize the 'magnitude” of UN Human Rights' involvement." indiancountrytoday.com/news/the-wrap-…

This afternoon Norma Aldredge, age 74, and her husband Eugene had their eviction "hearing." They were also denied counsel. They have lived in their home for 16 years--a home they, too, should own outright. This, too, is cruelty, not "self-determination" or "sovereignty."

Meanwhile Nooksack bans any right to counsel for those The Nooksack 306 facing eviction--meaning even counsel of their own expense and choosing. Those of us in law or politics take for granted how impossible it is to fend off eviction without help from legal counsel.

After losing my wallet and watching my money being spent live from my bank app. Two things that NEED to happen: Chain for my wallet. And a new card company super unlike Visa or Mastercard. A company that uses facial recognition to authorize EVERY transaction.

Nooksack Tribal cops returned to The Nooksack 306 homes tonight to serve Tribal Court eviction papers, despite two Washington State Supreme Court orders enjoining eviction activity. Nooksack continues to answer to no authority.
