Pechanga and Pala Subjects of Native America Calling Radio Show Tomorrow.

I will be on Native America Calling discussing tribal disenrolment tomorrow.  The latest embarrassment to tribal history is coming from the Nooksack Tribe. But locally, Pechanga and Pala have destroyed a large portion of their tribe.

The Nooksack Tribe of Washington is currently involved in a bitter battle over the disenrollment of 306 tribal members. The lawyers for the potential disenrollees claim it is an act of “cultural genocide.” 

Disenrollment from a tribe is not just about identity. It can mean the loss of healthcare, jobs, and family land. But determining tribal membership is the sovereign right of each tribe. Is disenrollment a question of cultural genocide or correcting mistakes of past enrollment?
