In June I advised the list of a case in which the traditional Oneida were
opposing continued New York State and Federal recognition of Chairman Ray
Halbritter's governing of the Oneida nation after he had been removed from
his position by Wolf clanmother Maisie Shenendoah according to Hauseosaunee
law. [See Native-L archives: Oneida Hearing in Federal Court]

There will be a benefit concert on August 25th at the Oneida War Memorial at
Oneida, New York from 1-6 pm. It is called the C.A.R.E. Concert: Concert for
Aboriginal Rights and Environment

Featured will be songstress, Joanne Shenendoah and her sister Diane
Shenendoah, famous folkmusic artist, Pete Seeger and the remarkable flutist,
David Amram. Other performers and composers will join them such as Jay Unger
and Mollie Mason. Bring lawnchairs and picnic lunches and enjoy. Alcohol
and drugs are prohibited.

Tickets will be going on sale through Ticketmaster on July 17th. Tickets are
$15 and the Ticketmaster surcharges will be added on.

The proceeds will help to meet the legal expenses of these Oneida who are
opposing the unilateral decision making of Ray Halbritter and the risk he
poses to the Oneida land claims.

You may contact me for further information.
