O'siyo Brothers and Sisters!
It is our way to repeat what is important.
There are elders who need your help. Help them.
There are children that need your love. Love them.
Look about you. No matter where you are, unless you are also in prison,
you have more freedom, more room, more to look forward to than those who
languish in iron houses. Reach out to them.
If you have not written letters on behalf of Leonard Peltier, Eddie
Hatcher and others whose fate you can help determine, write those letters
now. If you have written them, write them again, and again, and again.
What is a few moments of your time that you would not enjoy more knowing
you have made the time for others better?
Mitakuye Oyasin! Night Owl

RI SEEKS DELAY IN COURT RULING
Providence--The state will ask an appellate court to hold off on having
a decision take effect involving the proposed Narragansett Indian
casino, officials said Tuesday.
Last week, the 1st Circuit court of Appeals in Boston said it would not
have its full court reconsider a decision made by a three-judge panel
that said the tribe had the authority to run a casino in Charleston
under the Indian Gaming Regulatory Act.
Attorney General Jeff Pine said the state will ask the appellate court
to stay the effect of its decision to give the state time to consider
whether to appeal to the US Supreme Court.
The state has six months in which to negotiate an agreement with the
tribe on the casino. The time clock would start when the decision takes
effect.

The Naskapi Nations reports that Hydro Quebec is over looking data
that has to do with the construction of its Great Whale Projects.
Seems as if Hydro has put out a 5,000 page report and the Naskapi
feel that Hydro_Quebec have failed in pointing out its negative finding.
They made this charge yesterday when the report was released to the public..
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Below is the report in today paper....Montreal Gazette.
Written by GRAEME HAMILTON...
Hydro-Quebec used only data favoring construction of its Great Whale
hydro-electric project and overlooked negative results when putting together
its 5,000-page study of the dams' impacts, Quebec's Naskapi Indians charge in
a report made public yesterday.
The Naskapi report focuses on the $ 13.3-billion project's effects on the
George River Caribou herd, which migrates between the Naskapi community of
Kawawachikamach near Schefferville and land to the west that would be
flooded by Great Whale.
A report, written by Universite Laval researchers Lucie Lavigueur and
Cyrille Barrette, says Hydro's study shows a clear lack of objectivity.
Hydro's conclusions at times contradict information provided earlier in the
report, it says.
"It leaves the impression that only elements in favor of the development
of the Great Whale project were kept by the proponent." The Naskapi report
says Hydro's impact study failed to take into account the large margin of
error in population counts of the caribou herd, which could range between
436,000 and 930,000 animals.
The study also lacks data on the herd's birth rate, despite signs that the
rate declined 20 per cent between 1980 and 1987, it says.
Raynald Marcoux, environment co-ordinator for the Naskapi Land holding
Corp., said Hydro also came up short in assessing the project's impact on
Naskapi outfitters. They will suffer, he said, because it will become
cheaper for hunters to drive to the region when it is linked to the south by
road.
He also said Hydro made no effort to identify burial sites spread across
the land to be flooded. A period for public comment on Hydro's study closes
on Monday. Provincial and federal committees will then have to determine
whether Hydro has supplied the information demanded of it. If the study is
deemed complete, public hearings will be held. Otherwise, Hydro will be
asked for more information.

FidoNet Indian Affairs Conference
"On behalf of all the non-Natives it governs, Govt of Ontario makes another
rent payment to the First NAtions who choose to share the land with them..."
(Which is a more truthful byline than the, "Ontario program to help natives"
that some editor with no knowledge of history used in the original.) (By
James Rusk, for the Globe & Mail, national edition, 21/06/94)
Toronto - Ontario will spend $142.4-million over the next five years to
address the health and social problems of aboriginal communities, the
government announced today.
The operating cost of the program will rise from $7.2-million this
year to $33.5-million in the fifth year. Capital spending over the five
years will be $15.9-million.
The money for the program will come from existing spending within
four ministries, according to Bud Wildman, the (provincial) minister
responsible for aboriginal affairs.
The program, intended to deal with problems such as family violence,
youth suicide and substance abuse, was drawn up after extensive consultation
with aboriginal peoples in Ontario. Among the proposed projects are
traditional healing lodges, shelters and safe-homes for those leaving
violent situations, crisis intervention teams to deal with suicides, primary
health centres and birthing centres.
Sylvia Maracle, executive director of the Ontario Federation of
Indian Friendship Centres, said the program "is different from all other
strategies to date because it was designed by aboriginal people on and off
reserve."

Subj: Mashentucket Pequot Casino
FidoNet Indian Affairs Conference
Hello to all,
It has been long time since I have posted in this echo. I am Sysop Tiwa
from the Reservation BBS. I am the creator and moderator of this echo and
very proud of where it has gone. I would like to say thank you to all of
you for carrying on the spirit of the Native American people across the
world.
I would now like to tell you a little about a tribe in Connecticut, the
Mashentucket Pequot Tribe. I am not sure but most of you have heard about
this tribe in the news. The Mashentucket Pequot Tribe is the tribe that runs
and owns Foxwoods Casino. I work at Foxwoods and work directly for the
tribe. At the Foxwoods I work for The Gaming Commission (TGC). What that
means is as part of TGC my duties are to protect the tribes interest. What
I actually do is oversee everything under the roof at the Casino.
Let me tell you a little bit about the Casino to give you an idea of a
tribe done good. Foxwoods is the largest Casino in the world as of today.
Foxwoods opened 2 years ago in February. Since then we have added another
Casino and 8 floor hotel, another hotel with 650 rooms as well as a third
Casino which contains only slot machines I believe there are about 3000
machines in the last casino. All in all there are in excess of 350 table
games, 6000 slot machines and I can't even tell you the square footage at
this time. At the casino we have a kiddie arcade, turbo rides, cinnetropolis
movie theater, Iwerks theater, as well as a brand new Bingo hall, a Concert
theater three keno lounges, a horse race betting facility and a 360 degree
bar. Every time we turn around we add something new. Foxwoods is the most
beautiful place I think I have ever seen From marble floors to the
decorative interior to the grounds its located on. The facility is located
on 2000 acres in the country with lots of trees and what most would say in
the woods.
We employ in excess of 12,000 people. To get a job at Foxwoods unlike
a lot of other places of work you don't need a college education to get in.
Most people we employ are people who got laid off from there previous
employer because of company closings. The only requirement we do have is a
clean record. No arrests and that sort of thing.
As an employee you get many benefits from free all you can eat cafeteria
which serves everything from Prime Rib to grilled cheese sandwiches. A
dessert bar, pizza bar, salad bar, grill, sandwich bar, and anything you can
think of to drink. Another benefit you get is free medical insurance for
you and your family, annual bonus based on the revenue from the Casino the
list goes on.
The benefits just go on. To give you an example June 27 & 28 the Casino
has rented out Ocean Beach Park which is on the ocean has a pool, water slide
as well as many rides for the children and adults also all the food you can
eat from steaks to shrimp to lobster to hot dogs and salads and desserts and
beer and wine for those who want to have drinks. This is the annual company
picnic this costs us nothing as employees. These two days will cost the
casino about $250,000.00 now thats a picnic.
It is a great place to work for most. We do have our problems though the
legal issues as part of a sovereign nation they can basically do what they
want with you by making you work excess hours they could do this because
they do not have to adhere to the laws of the state or federal employment
laws. Although this has not posed a problem to the tribe it does not affect
many. I have heard of maybe one or two cases but all in all they treat us
all fairly and with respect.
For the tribe this has helped them in so many ways. It has made sure that
all tribal members get free medical, a clean place to live, money to make
there life easier, free college tuition, and a safe environment. To be a
recognized member of the tribe you must be at least 1/16. The physical
features of the tribe range from blonde and blue eyes to being black with
brown eyes. The Casino's profits are so great they have helped a lot of
people. The help that they have given the community has been wonderful. Many
small companies that would have closed by now are growing because of the
amount of people that come into the area and spend their money. This tribe
is a done good tribe.
The Casino has not only helped their own tribal members but it has created
a Foxwoods management company which goes out across the country to not only
help set up other tribes with casinos but also helps in funding their
projects. The tribe gave the federal government a deal of money to help
with the health care reform bill. As far as tribes go this is the way
tribes should work, -TOGETHER-! You see they help a lot of people out in
this country they share their wealth with others. This is what being a
Native American is all about if everyone did this this country would be a lot
better off.
Each day we have thousands of people come in from across the county and
world. You meet different people from all over kinda like a melting pot. It
is great. The tribal members are nice people also. You may work for them
but the people at the very top still come in to see you to talk or even have
coffee with you. Many of the tribal members work at the casino and go to
school to learn the ropes to get into a management position. You see just
because they are tribal members does not give you a job. It is something
they must work toward which gives them more pride in their job and well as
pride in oneself. They work so hard to help their members take pride in
oneself it is sometimes hard to comprehend the reasoning.
Foxwoods Casino is located on Rt. 2 in Ledyard Connecticut their phone
number is (203)885-3000. I just wanted to let you know that some tribes are
really doing good and are helping others out and not just themselves. They
also help tribes out that need financial help by trying to get them to do
something to help create jobs and financial security for them. If anyone
has any questions please ask I will try to answer them.

Univ. of Arizona to Begin Clearcutting Mt. Graham With No Money
---------------------------------------------------------------
The U.S. Forest Service has granted the University of Arizona permission to
begin cutting trees at the top of Mt. Graham on July 1, 1994. The U of A is
expected to begin cutting very close to the beginning of the month. The
main issue at hand is that the U of A doesn't have enough money to begin
construction on the telescopes, but they still want to show potential
investors that they are making some sort of progress. After losing 28
potential investors (leaving them no partners in all of North America), the
U of A is financially strapped, and can not begin construction until several
more partners sign on. (which, due to the track record, doesn't seem
possible)
The Mt. Graham Coalition is in court (as we speak) attempting to get an
injunction on the cutting, because of the lack of viability for the project,
as well as the fact that it is in violation of the ESA, NEPA, AIRFA and
several other laws.
We can't afford to wait for the courts, time is running out! Action is
needed immediately!
CALL TO ACTION ***
This senseless waste of time and trees can NOT be allowed! Activists are
needed IMMEDIATELY in Tucson, AZ to begin strategizing for how to stop the
chainsaws from ripping apart this fragile and ecosystem. THIS IS VERY
URGENT, as your attendance could make the difference in stopping this
massacre.
If you think that you can make it down and help out with the campaign (from
June 25 - ?), then strap on your monkey wrench, pack a lot of tofu, and give
us a call for directions!
Mt. Graham Action Line: (602) 795-2527
-- If you can't make it:
CALL U of A President Manuel Pacheco and let him know that you are one
of the people that WILL NOT ALLOW these trees to be cut! Ask why he is
cutting if he doesn't have the money to build the scopes!
Things need to heat up A LOT on Mt. Graham, so take that summer vacation a
few weeks early, blow off work and get yourself to the campaign of the
summer! -jk
