"the good fight against the white man"?  Sounds like racism to me.

 I want a free ride too. Because of what a bunch of dead white men did hundreds and hundreds of years ago I deserve free cash, beer, and strippers.

Greetings,

  I am writing to inform you that we have a case coming up very soon in which we will hopefully be on the winning side. If we win, we could get up to 45 acres of our land back. This is great but it is not enough. We need to fight the white man. I urge all Native Americans to write to the Government and ask for ALL of us to get back what is rightfully ours.

  Thank you

If you'll pardon my ignorance Chief......how come there is zero information on the Swayson tribe ?

  I think someone asked you this a long time ago.....but you didn't answer.

 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.

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

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.

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.

The reason you cannot find The Swaysons on this so called Google is because when the white man offered them a reservation the Swaysons simply said no and said they in time would unite thier blood brothers and fight for what is rightfully theirs, if they were to take it..  The white man then wiped them from the records of Indian tribes so nobody would know of them.  I took an oath to help my Indian brothers and it is time for myself to take the flight of the eagle and find the strength of a bear and join Chief Wankanakan in his fight.

Looks like they succeeded-  even teh Google can't find them!

Was your oath something like "I'll like, you know, help my Indian brothers and ummm, take the flight of the [span style="text-decoration: line-through;"]horse [span style="text-decoration: line-through;"]butterfly[/span]  eagle and stuff, and ummm find the strength of a [span style="text-decoration: line-through;"]dog[/span]  [span style="text-decoration: line-through;"][/span][span style="text-decoration: line-through;"]a goat[/span]  a bear and join a random bozo in his fight[/span]"?

  I want to thank those of you who have wrote your elected officals. I have high hopes that my people will get back what is rightfully theirs! It is people like you, who are truely a blessing. If I could, I would personally travel and shake the hand of every person who wrote in to their senator and representative. People like you, make it a better world for all of us. White, black, or native!
