Now they do anything they want, knowing no one will stop them . Look, at the m illio ns meant for a school;' Housing and Construction that disap peared during the reign of Larry, Moe and Curly.

M anagem ent Wyants to en hance Kah-Nee-Ta again.’Every year the Resort loses money, so they say, even with the casino. Remember, this management always hand picks the manager. Now you hear some Council blaming the Indians for wanting gaming at the Lodge. From the beginning o f both the Lodge and gam in g, m an agem ent wanted the Indians kept away, because Indians would turn the: place into Rialto. The orders were just short df. putting up signs saying, ?No dogs and In dians allowed.” I. know this be- ing shortage. They did everything they could to keep > homes from being built. Council seems to be proud of the way Housing preys on members, by ignoring all the complaints. Now they want to build expensive house for their white brothers and sisters right away. W hy woii’t Council jump this fast for the people they begged to*represènt? Another thing, did our lead ers 638 the clinic? What hap pened to the millions that were meant for Indian health care? W hat kind ofi! “lead ers” lean claim to be “The Elite” and are willing to. sacrifice the péople and the Reservation? Management has given away the water, health care and h o w wants to give away the land, with out a word to the people. What next, Termination? So, where is the Tribal Council whèn they are doing all this?
