(Spilyay asks "What's Up?")
As a community member, what are your feelings as what should be
done to people breaking in, stealing, and vandalizing public or private
property?
Luther Clements, "My feelings
are that individuals should be held
accountable for their actions. If the
individual (s) are under the age of 1 8,
the parents should be held account
able right along with them. A person
should not be slapped on the hand
when they break-in, steal, or van
dalize our community. Whether it's
public or private property, they are
doing it to their own property and all
of the tribal members in this com
munity. If these people are non-tribal
members who are committing these
crimes, they should be removed from
the reservation. There needs to be
stricter consequences."
Carolyn Wewa, "People who
break the law need to face some type
of consequence. ParentsGuardians
need to be held responsible for their
children's actions, and be required to
attend a proactive diversionary pro
gram along with their child, possibly
looking at evening sessions. Tradi
tional and cultural teachings on be
havior, self-esteem, and
self-discipline are just a few areas
that could be part of a tailor made
curriculum. It's time to stop "talking
about" alternative sentencing and
figure out how to incorporate ideas
into the system we have today. We
need to help each other recognize our
strengths, the good, positive traits
instead of always focusing on the
negative things. Of course, this also
means having someone able to do the
job, people to develop the curriculum,
manage the time to implement such a
program, and have a good under
standing of family unity concepts,
(resiliency). There is not an easy
solution to all of this. Another idea
would be for the Tribes' to look at all
tribal department's and see how they
can better integrate with each other.
The walls between departments need
to be extinguished for change to
happen."

Vernon Tias, "People who
break-in, steal, or vandalize, should
have to pay for what ever materials,
labor, or repairs need to be done. If a
juvenile committed the offense, make
the parents accountable for their
children's actions. If an adult com
mitted the crime, they should have to
pay for what ever damage they've
done. The police and the court system
should not drop the ball in between.
The matter should be taken more
seriously because it's getting out of
control."

Jeffery (Luke) Sanders Jr., "I
feel that people who are caught
breaking into public, tribal, or private
property should have to pay restitu
tion back. They should also have to
perform community service time and
apoligize to the public on the radio,
and the newspaper. These people
should participate in talking with our
elders and leaders of the Long House
and Sweat lodges. They should be
made to attend Sweats and also write
about the choice they made and what
they have learned from their choices.
They should also be made available
to talk to others who made the same
choices of breaking the law. Together
they should become peer advisors to
our children and community mem
bers on what they've learned and the
changes they have made to be
positive role model in our community."

Serina Wolfe, "When this ques
tion is asked you automatically think
of a lot to say. But we need to start at
the top and think what makes these
people do this. It leads back to the big
problem of alcohol, drugs, and
want-to-be-gangs. This is a big
problem with the reservation today.
They have places to take this items to
get cash or they just want this stuff
for themselves."
Tiffiney T. Henry, "I believe
some harsh consequence should be
done to people who break-in and
vandalize property ! They should have
responsibility their actions. Breaking
into some one's home is violating
their security! People work hard for
their necessities at home. It only takes
seconds for someone to come into a
house and just snatches what they
want and vandalize the rest. I strongly
believe that when a person is pros
ecuted, he or she should have to pay
back by doing community service,
replace everything they stole or
vandalized. On top of that, the guilty
person or persons should be made to
speak at schools to our younger kids
about what they learned. When
children vandalize or steal at a young
age, the court system should take
action towards the child and it's
parents so this type of crime does not
continue. Your home is your security,
when people violate your home it
makes you feel insecure! It makes
you have inner thoughts about what's
going to happen the next day."

Donald Winishut, "As a con
cerned tribal member, vandalism and
break-ins that have occurred to our
tribal and private property needs to
come to a stop. The persons whether
they are adults or under the age of 1 8,
they should be held accountable for
their actions. If the person is a juve
nile, the parent or parents should also
be held responsible and accountable
for their child's actions. A lot of
people don't realize that when crimes
like this occurred on our reservation,
the Moines to repair or replace come
out of our pockets. It's Moines that
our tribes have to take out of differ
ent budgets to pay for materials and
repairs. "THINK ABOUT IT."
Lavena "Lovie" Ike, "The crime
rate for breaking and entering, theft,
malicious mischief, injury to public
property is at a extreme high. Ev
erybody blames the police, other
parents, other kids, for what their
kids are doing today. I believe the
behavior problems with todays youth
begin within the home. The parents
are not giving their kids a family
structured environment or discipline
anymore. The parents rely on having
the system baby-sit their children,
rather than taking the time or being
responsible for them. When
unsupervised kids are stealing, de
stroying, or vandalizing our com
munity property, who pays?... The
kids who are trying to better them
selves with or without their parents
help! Alcohol and drugs usage is
what demented our community. We
as a whole, need to fight back and
become one again."
