So, Sitting Bull.....being as you're on board, perhaps you could tell us all about the Swayson tribe. It's helpful to be informed about what we're fighting for.[/DIV]

Greetings,

You need a history lesson. The government is controlled by the white man. There is a offical listing of all approved Native American tribes. However, they have failed to recognise our people. We dont have what other tribes have, money. We have tried several tibes to get recognised and are in the proces of trying yet again. Surely, we will fail. The white man will not let us in!

However please write to these people, they can be of help to us!

Chief,

Unfortunately for your cause ... many of the fine folks on this site are Canadain and will have little pull with your US based politicians.

Best of luck to you and yours.

Well....I think I admitted that. So educate me. [FONT size=4]WHO ARE THE SWAYSONS[/FONT] [FONT size=4]?[/FONT][/DIV]

All this time I thought they were Canadians, because nobody in down here talks about native rights.

So you're not telling them who you are either ?

Ok I will update this later. This is a brief summery of the Swayson Tribe of Washington State.

The Swaysons were formally apart of the Spokane Tribe of Eastern Washington State. They themseleves are recognised by the federal government of the United States.

Several Spokane Tribe members were upset with the leadership after the white man offered us a reservation. This was stupid because it was OUR land in the first place, they had no right to offer us our own land! Sadly, the Spokanes took the deal and we broke away from them and moved to the Western Part of the state where the White man hadnt occupied. However, very shortly the white man came and took that land there. Our tribe was left to wonder the state and later branched out to other states. I fill that we have not been recognised because we did not take a deal to have a reservation. Had we took the deal we would have been on the offical list of tribes in Washington State. Yet, we dont give in that easy and we will fight for what is right.

How would you fill if someone came and said you could have your house but no more of your property? You would be upset so I'd hope that you would understand what my people have and are going through.

Thanks Chief.

*I could have done without all the 'white man' crap....and I've heard the rest before. I simply wanted to know who the Swayson tribe was.

Disgruntled Spokane tribe people.

Hey Chief,

Just a little hint. If nobody can find you or your tribe on google, you are so far below the radar a cadaver dog couldn't find you. Hire a PR firm.

I googled "Swayson Tribe" and this is what I got:

Easy thing to do would be to contact the Spokane tribe.
