UPDATE DEC 27, 2000
PRESS RELEASE: Oneida Indian Territory Residents Oppose
Evictions
TRIBAL COURT DATE SET
DECEMBER 28/2000 @3:00 pm
Native families on the 32 acre Oneida Indian Territory
have been
given until midnight, January 14, 2001 to leave their

Police" acting on
the orders of Arthur Raymond Halbritter, the self
proclaimed "Representative" of the Oneida Nation.
The Oneidas targeted for eviction are plaintiffs in
a lawsuit which
challenges the legitimacy of the Halbritter regime
and his hand
picked "men's council" and seeks a return to
a traditional,
democratic government. ..READ

...One would expect federal officers, paid to uphold
and enforce the law, to both abide by it and respect it.
Apparently, that is not the case with FBI Agent Ed
Wood.

{EXCERPTED FROMOn
This Date In North American Indian History
By Phil Konstantin}
.
1763: Angry white vigilantes, called "the Paxton Boys"
will break into a building housing the 14 CONESTOGA, Pennsylvania Indians
not killed in the attack on December 14th. The whites will kill all of
the Indians, including women and children, while they prayed. Benjamin
Franklin will write the broadside "Narrative of the late massacres in lancaster
county" condemning the white attackers for brutalizing the innocent conestogas.
.
1858: Today, 20 Texans, led by indian-fighter Peter
Garland, attack a peaceful group of ANADARKO and CADDO camped on Keechi
Creek, near the Brazos River Reservation. The Texans will kill 7 Indians
while they were sleeping.
According to some reports, the Texas Rangers refused
to arrest Garland for the unprovoked murders. A grand jury set up to investigate
the murders charged ANADARKO Chief Jose Maria (Iesh) with horse stealing,
instead.
