Regarding “Disbarred Colville Tribal Spokesperson,’ ...Chairman [Erickson] continued, “The Colville Tribes will always protect its members...People who think they can prey on our community without suffering consequences are badly mistaken.”  — Tribal Tribune March 17, 2023 pp A1,9.

Really?

Nope!

FYI, whistle-blowing is a ticket to “black-ball,” while embezzlers rise in the heap.

Harms by a scheming, grifting-colonized-preying CBC, Office of Reservation Attorney (ORA), historical Executive Direction & Public Safety Directors (ED; PSD), Tribal Court (TC) and Court Of Appeals (COA) practices, protects and defends collusion that sustains such, are not traditional Indian cultural values.

Our Traditional cultures provided The Peoples an ethical, moral voice and methods to punish wrongs against persons and the community. Not so in a “modern tribal government” of colonized grifters in the nepotism and colluding-revolving door business: CBC anointed BIA-federal-trustee Colville Agency Superintendents and Executive Directors “trading places,” PSD appointees, ORA attorneys shape-shifting into anointed tribal judgeships, and re-tired attorneys paneling tribal courts.

Reported, TC & COA reject the Colville Tribal Civil Rights Act (CTCRA) under the Law and Order Code, Chapter 1-5. How can a collapse of the CTCRA happen without the wink and nod of the authoritarian-fascist CBC and compliant ORA, [former] EDs, and PSD?  Also, violative of CTCRA, is no free speech for dissenting COA Judges’ in the court case record.

Tribal members deserve CBC competency to actively decolonize the CBC itself, to push back on the lawless-grift-poisoned-puppet “modern tribal government” culture, in order to protect what Traditional cultural integrity of The Peoples we have remaining.
