Notes

I was cleaning off my desk at the end of the day and found some notes I jotted down from some meeting. I'm only putting them here so I can throw the paper away. I might come back and edit later when I get the full story.

> Lawrence Nicodemus: In his H.S. years (during the 1920's) his mom was jailed for not turning her $$ over to the BIA. Lawrence was clubbed over the head by the police man Lee Parish (?) for staying with his mom (she didn't want him to leave her). They were both jailed (at the old agency?) Indians couldn't legally keep their own personal finances.

The Plight of Eugene Little Coyote and the Northern Cheyenne

About this viedo:
December 28, 2007, Elected Tribal President, Eugene Little Coyote was forcibly removed from his office by a team of BIA SWAT officers. Since then a series of Appeals have come to a dead end when Majel Russell, Principal Deputy Secretary, Bureau of Indian Affairs, preempted the Interior Board of Indian Appeals process and denied an appeal by Eugene Little Coyote. One may argue that it is merely a personal matter, but with the world's largest undeveloped Coal Bed Methane Gas Field underfoot, the Northern Cheyenne may have more than a personal matter to look for.
