Everyone must remember that the summons to appear issued to the communities is not paramount to the resolution of this lawsuit. The court is simply inviting them to participate in the litigation. If they continue to kick and scream about it and Judge Lettow lets them have their way, they will have to live with whatever remedy the court sees fit. They cannot come back and say "wait, wait, wait, we never had a chance to put our 2 cents in!" The case will go on with or without them.

...and technically, because of the Dakota Journal's "partcipation" (lack there of) in this case...it took the Judge's solution (summons) to make sure a rule of the court was adhered to...that rule 14...everyone has the right to be included in this case...even the one's who can be sued. What happens with that is not my concern because the defendant in this case is the US government.

Concerning pre nups, we are a member of a trust. That means that no spouse can ever touch what we receive from the lands. And since this trust goes back to minimum of 1980 the exclusion is grand-fathered in. So RM you are good to go, no lawyer could ever touch the trust. That is what I call security! (This is based on California law, probably applies to most states. That is why it is called a trust!!)

I heard through the family grapevine that Erick Kaardal gave his best estimation at wrapping this up by Spring 2009 . He is extremely hopeful we will be reinstated and can legally call ourselves Mdewakanton ! Which this is what this case is really about . The settlements for damages we can all agree would be excellent . We can't forget the ones that are no longer with us . And just continue to be patient and have faith that justice will prevail . Let's not forget to pray for those whose blood , sweat and tears this depends on . However long this may take two years is still wrapping this up in a timely fashion .
However , I must be honest and say this couldn 't be over fast enough . But the fact remains that Mr. Kaardal is excited and hopes we will continue to have faith til the end . So thats good enough for me . Goodnite .

Today at 5:19pm, hanyetuduta wrote:TNA, Maybe you can set my mind to rest or maybe some one else can I was told by an individual that if one is enrolled in a tribe you forfeit your rights as an LD to any claim to this law suite and such. Is this just some one telling me bull or dose the Treaty say this. They said even Eric has told them this. Just a question and looking for the truth I don’t want to believe this, so can any one shied light on this. --------------------------------
The NativeAmerican reply
someone is shoveling you a huge load of bull this is trust law
you were born with more rights than other natives there is nothing in the statute that says you need to forfeit these rights because you are enrolled in another tribe
ever wonder why there are no treaties with us? Congress recognized the 208 that happen to be of Mdewakanton descent

sky, even if the john does did disenroll, they would still be ld's and they would still be entitled to all rights and benefits. As a matter of fact there are ld's that are not enrolled anywhere, but that doesn't make them any less of an LD. I have always said, this is not an enrollment/blood quantum issue. This is a beneficiary issue. Also a trust law issue.
