Tribes are eligible for foreign assistance
By Todd Theringer
Native News Online.net
The Turkish Ambassador,
N am ik Tan in N ovem b er
presented the very first de
velopm ent assistance grant
given by the Turkish Agency
for Cooperation and Collabo
ration to an American Indian
trib e , th e C o n fe d e ra te d
Tribes o f Warm Springs.
The Turkish Ambassador
talked about the kinship the
Turkish people feel they have
with American Indians based
on an ancient connection in
Central Asia.
Representing the Confed
erated Tribes, Paiute C hief
Joseph Moses thanked the
Turkish Government for giv
ing $200,000 to the tribe to
pay for a water tank at a new
elementary school that the
tribe has been asking the Bu
reau o f Indian E d u catio n /
Bureau o f Indian Affairs to
build for the past 20 years.
Chief Moses talked about
children spending 80 minutes
a day on a school bus to be
able to atten d elem entary
school. This new school will
reduce the need for long com
mutes and help the parents
in the local com m unity to
participate in the education of
their children.
This small grant from a
foreign country is a sign that
tribes should seek out inter
national developm ent assis
tance. I f the tribes are truly
sovereign nations, then there
is no reason that they cannot
accept foreign economic as
sistance.
Venezuela’s Citgo p etro
leum has been providing free
heating oil for the past nine
years to over 60 American
Indian tribes.
There is no reason for the
trib es to w ait aro u n d for
Washington to help meet the
needs o f their citizens.
The Bureau o f Indian Af
fairs b udget has rem ained
about the same as during the
Bush Administration as under
the O bam a Administration,
despite Obama’s willingness
to consult with the tribes.
Enrollment dispute reported
among the Grand Ronde
(AP) — A dispute over en
rollm ent has divided m em
bers o f the C o n fed erated
T rib es o f G ra n d R onde,
which operates Oregon’s larg
est tribal casino.
The Salem Statesman jour
nal reports a tribal leader has
said some might not be N a
tive American.
The tribe has grown by al-
m o s t 50 p e rc e n t since it
opened its casino nearly two
decades ago about 30 miles
w est o f Salem in the Coast
Range.
T h e ' trib al co u n cil has
moved to drop 13 members
from enrollm ent. Officials
say there’s a four-step removal
process, including appeals.
The council also sent the cases
o f 17 people back to a com
m ittee reviewing the tribal
roll. O ne mem ber has,chal
lenged the au d it in tribal
court.
Losing membership means
losing shares o f tribal income,
now $3,600 a year, as well as
housing, health and education
benefits^
Horse slaughter plants gearing up for business
A fter m onths o f legal
wrangling and false starts
in a m ore than two-year
batde to resume domestic
horse slaughter, plants in
New Mexico and Missouri
were working last week to
begin processing equine
meat for human consump
tion.
T he efforts com e on
the heels o f an order ear
lier in the m onth by a fed
eral appeals co u rt th a t
lifted an emergency stay
on the companies’ plans.
“They are pushing full
steam ahead to be ready
to go as soon as possible,” said
Blair Dunn, an Albuquerque
attorney who represents Val
ley Meat Co. o f Roswell and
R ains N a tu ra l M eats o f
Gallatin, Mo.
Rains N atural Meats, he
said, even had horses on site.
Btit it was unclear whether the
plants w ould o p en before
Christmas or wait until after
the holidays.
A third company, Respon
sible T ra n s p o rta tio n o f
Sigourney, Iowa, was review
ing its options, having already
converted to beef.
Founder and CEO Keaton
Walker said the company’s
beef operation was struggling
against b etter-estab lish ed
competitors and he planned
to sell the p lant unless he
knew for sure that he could
process horses. H e said he
expected to make a decision
by early January.
“We’re continuing to p ro
cess cattle and will for the
foreseeable future,” Walker
said. “We’re still trying to un
derstand what this all means
right now. Honestly, I ’m not
really sure what we’re going
to do.”
I t was the third time in
five m o n th s th a t th e
horse plants were scram
bling to open.
Valley, which-led the
effort to resume domes
tic horse slaughter two
years ago after Congress
lifted its ban on the prac
tice, along w ith Rains
and R esponsible, was
p re p a rin g to o p en in
August when The H u
m ane S o ciety o f th e
United States and other
animal protection groups
sued to contest the D e
p a rtm e n t o f A g ricu l
ture’s permitting process.
