Watch out for this scam... Police are urging visitors to be especially vigilant for a new gang operating a slick routine that is aimed at stealing from unwary persons. They say that the gang usually comprises four members. While the three younger ones, all appearing to be cute and innocent, divert their "mark" (or intended target) with a show of friendliness and fun, the fourth - the eldest of this gang of criminals - sneaks in behind the person's back to expertly rifle undetected through their pockets and bags for any valuables being carried. The attached picture taken from CTV shows the gang in operation.

Idiot Sightings!!!! Be careful, be very careful IDIOT SIGHTING: Gene and I had to have the garage door repaired. The Sears repairman told us that one of our problems was that we did not have a "large" enough motor on the opener. I thought for a minute, and said that we had the largest one Sears made at that time a 1/2 horsepower. He shook his head and said, "Lady, you need a 1/4 horsepower." I responded that 1/2 was larger than 1/4. He said, "NO, it's not." Four is larger than two. We haven't used Sears repair since. _____________________________________________________________________ IDIOT SIGHTING: I live in a semi rural area. We recently had a new neighbor call the local township administrative office to request the removal of the Deer Crossing sign on our road. The reason: "Too many deer are being hit by cars out here! I don't think this is a good place for them to be crossing anymore." From Kingman , KS ______________________________________________________ IDIOTS IN FOOD SERVICE: My daughter went to a local Taco Belland ordered a taco. She asked the person behind the counter for "minimal lettuce." He said he was sorry, but they only had iceberg. He was a Chef? Yep...From Kansas City! ____________________________________________ IDIOT SIGHTING: I was at the airport, checking in at the gate when an airport employee asked, "Has anyone put anything in your baggage without your knowledge. To which I replied, "If it was without my knowledge, how would I know?" He smiled knowingly and nodded, "That's why we ask." Happened in Birmingham, Ala. ______________________________________________________ IDIOT SIGHTING: The stoplight on the corner buzzes when its safe to cross the street. I was crossing with an intellectually challenged coworker of mine. She asked if I knew what the buzzer was for. I explained that it signals blind people when the light is red. Appalled, she responded, "What on earth are blind people doing driving?!" She was a probation officer in Wichita, KS __________________________________________________ IDIOT SIGHTING: At a good-bye luncheon for an old and dear coworker. She was leaving the company due to "downsizing." Our manager commented cheerfully, "This is fun. We should do this more often." Not another word was spoken. We all just looked at each other with that deer-in-the-headlights stare. This was a bunch at TexasInstruments. ________________________________ ________ IDIOT SIGHTING: I work with an individual who plugged her power strip back into itself and for the sake of her own life, couldn't understand why her system would not turn on. A deputy with the DallasCountySheriffs office no less. ____________________________________________________ IDIOT SIGHTING: When my husband and I arrived at an automobile dealership to pick up our car, we were told the keys had been locked in it. We went to the service department and found a mechanic working feverishly to unlock the drivers side door. As I watched from the passenger side, I instinctively tried the door handle and discovered that it was unlocked. "Hey," I announced to the technician, "its open! His reply, "I know - I already got that side." This was at the Ford dealership in Canton , Mississippi ! _______________________________________________________ STAY ALERT! They walk among us .. and they REPRODUCE!!!!! And they also vote?

Well this case is going to be going forward now and research time for ourselfs is about finished. Time is getting so short that I bet afew out there feels the pressure. I wish ya the best out there People. And I hope these research sites helped some , wish we could of done more for other people out there . I tryed my best to reachout to alot of people , just wish I would of known about this case alongtime ago so I could of started posting information and posted alot more. There is so much information out there but it takes time to find it and that alone eats away at the clock that is running.
Now that this case will move forward and alot of people is waitting to hear the finial say on Who was A Loyal Mdewakanton indian, as The Court stated this on the last Judge Lettow posting
2The three Appropriation Acts are the Act of June 29, 1888, ch. 503, 25 Stat. 217, 228-29; the Act of Mar. 2, 1889, ch. 412, 25 Stat. 980, 992-93; and the Act of Aug. 19, 1890, ch. 807, 26 Stat. 336, 349. 3As defined in the Appropriation Acts, the initial trust beneficiaries were “Indians in Minnesota, belonging to the Medawakanton [sic] band of Sioux Indians, who have resided in said State since [May 20, 1886] . . . and severed their tribal relations.” Act of June 29, 1888, 25 Stat. at 228; accord Act of Mar. 2, 1889, 25 Stat. at 992; Act of Aug. 19, 1890, 26 Stat. at 349. These Indians had been loyal to the United States during the Sioux uprising, which began in Minnesota in August 1862 and claimed the lives of more than 500 white settlers and numerous Indians. See Wolfchild I, 62 Fed. Cl. at 526. By aiding the whites, many of the loyal Indians lost their homes and property, and Congress concluded that their lives would be in danger were they to return to their tribes. Id. (quoting Cong. Globe, 38th Cong., 1st Sess. 3516 (1864)). The explicit statutory definitional reference to Indians “who have resided in said State since . . . [May 20, 1886],” was to a census prepared by U.S. Special Agent Walter McLeod, who determined on behalf of the Commissioner of Indian Affairs which Mdewakanton Indians (1) were loyal to the United States during the 1862 uprising, (2) had renounced their tribal relations, and (3) had remained in Minnesota. See Wolfchild I, 62 Fed. Cl. at 528. Under the 1889 and 1890 Appropriations Acts, the beneficiaries included both the loyal Mdewakanton and their families. Act of Mar. 2, 1889, 25 Stat. at 992 (monies to be appropriated for “these Indians or family thereof”); Act of Aug. 19, 1890, 26 Stat. at 349 (monies to be appropriated for “these Indians or families thereof”). 4The three Indian communities are the Lower Sioux Indian Community, the Shakopee Mdewakanton Sioux (Dakota) Community, and the Prairie Island Indian Community in Minnesota. 94 Stat. at 3262.
As it looks this is what the Judge is thinking but - ( Our attorneys still have their story`s of this to say in their responce to this translation of what is a Loyal Mdewakanton . There is so many ways to think of this. Well I wish all the luck to all of us and I cannot wait for the next steps to start. I am ready to get moveing forward

1Jurisdictionally, the Wolfchild action has been brought under the Tucker Act, 28 U.S.C. § 1491(a), and the Indian Tucker Act, 28 U.S.C. § 1505. Each of the plaintiffs and intervening plaintiffs alleges that he or she is a lineal descendant of a loyal Mdewakanton. The lineal descendants of the loyal Mdewakanton are an “identifiable group of American Indians” within the meaning of the Indian Tucker Act, 28 U.S.C. § 1505, and accordingly this is a collective action under that Act. See Wolfchild III, 72 Fed. Cl. at 517; Wolfchild I, 62 Fed. Cl. at 539. 795-801 – to oversee and complete an orderly means for “joinder of additional parties” in this collective action. Hoffmann-La Roche, Inc. v. Sperling, 493 U.S. 165, 173 (1989).
I also see the Judge quoteing this ( These Indians had been loyal to the United States during the Sioux uprising, which began in Minnesota in August 1862 and claimed the lives of more than 500 white settlers and numerous Indians. See Wolfchild I, 62 Fed. Cl. at 526. By aiding the whites, many of the loyal Indians lost their homes and property, and Congress concluded that their lives would be in danger were they to return to their tribes. Id. (quoting Cong. Globe, 38th Cong., 1st Sess. 3516 (1864).
(2) had renounced their tribal relations, and (
Then I see The Judge Lettow useing the Word ( renounced ) here in this - (had renounced their tribal relations),
Now what does renounced mean in the webster dictionaries-
renounced - ( v.t to disavow; to give up; to reject ; v.i. to fail in following suit when a card of the suit is in the players`s hand. -ment, renunciation n. [ L. renuntiare, to protest against].

Question 1 So we need to combine the intervening attorneys/parties. What does that mean ? Ok Humm well humm ? lol Ok now that - Judge Lettow stated this In aid of proceedings directed toward this end, counsel for the parties shall undertake three preparatory steps. First, counsel for the various groups of individual intervening plaintiffs shall meet and confer to select a proposed coordinating counsel and a proposed alternate coordinating counsel for each of the two different categories of such intervening plaintiffs, viz., those who claim descendancy from persons listed on the 1886 and 1889 censuses and those whose claim is based upon another source. --------------------------------- This conference shall take place on or before June 8, 2007, and the results of the conference shall be provided to the other parties and to the court by a joint status report submitted on or before June 15, 2007. Thereafter, the coordinating counsel or alternate for each category of individual intervening plaintiffs shall serve as the focal point for consultation and planning for individual intervenors’ participation in further proceedings in this case. ----------------------------------------------------- Second, the parties shall confer regarding a general plan and schedule for further proceedings in the case, including an identification of the substantive issues that should be addressed in the next several phases of the proceedings and those that should be deferred to later stages of the case. This conference shall be held on or before July 12, 2007, and the resulting proposals shall be provided to the court via a joint status report filed on or before July 20, 2007. A status conference shall be held on August 6, 2007, to address these proposals.23 -------------------------------------------------------------------- Finally, counsel for plaintiffs and each counsel for a group of intervening plaintiffs shall provide to this court, on or before May 25, 2007, compact discs containing a spreadsheet file readable by either Quattro Pro X3 or OpenOffice 2.0, listing in separate rows each individual represented by counsel.24 Information pertinent to each individual shall be provided in separate columns, headed as follows: (A) surname, plus suffix (e.g., “Jr.,” “Sr.,” or “III”), if any, (B) first name, (C) middle name(s), (D) pseudonym for lawsuit (if any, otherwise leave blank), (E) group affiliation, (F) unique identifier within subgroup, if any, and (G) name of counsel of record.25 ---------------------------------- Now this is mdenney talking now Now to answer I will try Im going to Post more on this as I understand it , but first I need to post this to continue so I dont lose any of this information. And this alone listed like this says alot and is easier to understand. Well this case is going to be going forward now and research time for ourselfs is about finished. Time is getting so short that I bet afew out there feels the pressure. I wish ya the best out there People. And I hope these research sites helped some , wish we could of done more for other people out there .
