Lakhota, curious about your thoughts on these

Trump signed three bills affecting Native Americans. Here's what they do.

The three bills include compensation to the Spokane tribe for the loss of their lands in the mid-1900s, reauthorization of funding for Native language programs and federal recognition of the Little Shell Tribe of Chippewa Indians in Montana. ... The Little Shell Tribe, based in Montana, has fought for federal recognition since the late 1800s, when treaty negotiations between the tribe and the federal government failed.
...
Meanwhile, the Esther Martinez Native American Languages Preservation Act, which became law in 2006 but expired in 2012, will be reauthorized, granting $13 million in funds to smaller groups of Native American students each year starting 2020 until 2024.
...
"We remain committed to preserving and protecting Native American cultures, languages, and history, while ensuring prosperity and opportunity for all Native Americans," the president said in a statement.​

Little Shell chair Gerald Gray said he saw the president’s online messages.

“I am glad the president is acknowledging Indian County,” he said. “It is always nice to see him to do that. We are always forgotten. I was a little bit surprised.”

The action makes the Little Shell the 574th federally recognized tribe in the United States. Tribal members say it took 157 years to get the federal recognition.​

Trump Administration Launches Presidential Task Force on Missing and Murdered American Indians and Alaska Natives

Department of Justice, Office of Public Affairs; January 29, 2020

The Department of Justice, the Department of the Interior and the Department of Health and Human Services today held the first meeting of a White House task force to address the incidence of missing and murdered American Indians and Alaska Natives. The task force, co-chaired by Attorney General Barr and Secretary of the Interior Bernhardt, is composed of federal officials charged with enhancing the criminal justice response, consulting with tribal governments on potential solutions, and empowering native communities with information.
...

American Indians and Alaska Natives experience disproportionately high rates of violence. President Trump has called the crisis of missing and murdered Native Americans “sobering and heartbreaking.” The task force, designated Operation Lady Justice, has been empowered to review Indian Country cold cases, to strengthen law enforcement protocols, and work with tribes to improve investigations, information sharing and a more seamless response to missing persons investigations.

Trump Administration Launches Presidential Task Force on Missing and Murdered American Indians and Alaska Natives

President Trump promises action on missing and murdered in Indian Country

Melanie Benjamin, the Chief Executive of the Mille Lacs Band of Ojibwe[,] introduced herself [to the press in the Oval Office] in the Ojibwe language.

"It’s a historical day to know that our missing and murdered women have a place and a remembrance, and that we care about them and their families," Benjamin said in the Oval Office as she offered thanks to Trump.
​

Next up was Vice President Myron Lizer of the Navajo Nation. He was accompanied by wife, Second Lady Dottie Lizer, and their daughter, Halle Lizer.

"As the host people of the land, we feel that our prayers are being answered -- and First Nations’ prayers are powerful," said Lizer, who provided a blessing before the event started.

"We look forward to seeing some improvement in Indian Country," Lizer said as he thanked Trump in the Navajo language.
​

Also in attendance was Chairman Alvin "A.J." Not Afraid of the Crow Tribe. Though Trump pointed out the uniqueness of his name, it was in a friendly and professional manner.

"I personally am affected," said Not Afraid, whose reservation is located in a county that suffers from the highest rate of missing and murdered cases in the state of Montana.

"So knowing that you support in the realm of this executive order, the Crow Tribe is honored," Not Afraid said before presenting Trump showing the president with a group of Crow citizens in their headdresses.
​

Kevin DuPuis, the chairman of the Fond du Lac Band of Lake Superior Chippewa, introduced himself in the Ojibwe language at the White House. He too has been personally affected by the crisis of the missing and murdered in Indian Country.

"Our women are the ones who raise our children," DuPuis said. "Our women are the ones who take care of our village. Our women are the ones who take care of communities -- our teachers." "Our children are our future," DuPuis said. "And these are both being affected in that way."​

You mean will Trump* now do anything to save his ass? Yes, he will do anything!

So I guess you haven't been keeping up with this. The Task Force was created in June, before any of the impeachment-related issues existed.

Sadly, I figured your response would be something along these lines. I was hopeful that you'd have something insightful to add, given your native american heritage.

When did Trump* sign them?

Your point is that, as a Native American, you do not believe any of this matters because all of this was part of an effort to "save his ass" from impeachment. I pointed out that the creation of the Task Force by executive order occurred in June, but once again, I posted this because I was interested in your insight as a Native American about what this means for the Native American community. You only seem interested in bashing Trump rather than providing any insight. It is frustrating and sad to see.

Lakota is no more Native American than I'm a fucking hobbit

Don't you remember our journey to return that ring Frodo?

Anyhoo, Lahkota would say Trump raped him or her while denying the the right to die if Trump saved their life from a burning teepee!

 

[westwall]

He's the 1st prez in a long time that has not ignored or made worse the treatment from Wash that has gone on for a couple hundred years here... And ALL you want to discuss is your phony N.Amer. candidate?

NEXT --- Maybe he'll find out where all the money in the "Indian Trust Fund" went.. It's just disappeared.. Kinda like the Soc Sec Fund or the Highway Trust Fund...

He renewed a bill that was last signed by Bush II....but in your world of worship he is the 1st prez in a long time to do this.

I just do not understand this level of worshipness.

Evidently you missed the part where the DOJ had this on a very low priority and the previous attempts has had little or no effect.. You SHOULD be a fan of only keeping and renewing laws and regs that have efficacy in fixing anything.. It's not the bill -- it's the will and demand for enforcement..

There's little will in the swamp as we know it for tracking or managing ANYTHING after the sponsors take their victory laps... We'll see if it's different this time.. It HAS been on myriad of festering issues...

What does the DOJ have to do with a Native American Languages Preservation Act?

A bill that the GOP House in 2012 let die.

Did you read the articles? DOJ hasn't really wanted to work out terms with the SOVEREIGN tribes for cooperating on a long list of murdered and disappeared Indians.. But Indian "law enforcement" NEEDS those tools and help to avoid having so many "unsolved" violent crimes.. It's a diplomacy issue really and it can be fixed.. The WILL to do that -- just hasnt' gotten enough butt kicked yet...

And are you SHOCKED that either party's priorities change so often? Mostly has to do with pursuing ONLY the things that get them wins and keep their power... NOT fixing anything that has reeked for decades...

The only thing I am SHOCKED by is that some of you people seem to think that has changed now because of the guy sitting in the White House...a guy whose most flattering label would be to call him a populist.

"You people". The eternal sneer of the entitled fool. You claim to be a free thinker yet, when an outsider wins the election you denigrate his results.

Results he has achieved in spite of resistance from the duopoly you claim to hate, yet by your attacks on Trump are serving.

In other words you are either the biggest moron on the planet, or you are in fact an agent of the duopoly.

I'm guessing a mixture of both.

 

[westwall]

I don't CARE what it's called.. As long as the swamp creatures are being tamed and deported and massive amounts of "deconstruction" of useless regs are occurring..

I'm quite OK with certain types of popularism.. Maybe even some libertarian popularism with TWO SCOOPS of ice cream for everybody...

While there has been some deconstruction of regulations, the swamp is getting deeper, no tamed.

Trump has had three years. The swamp has developed over decades.

Good work takes time. Of course you dont seem to want him to succeed.

an outsider!

Yes. He is an outsider based on the attacks on him from both parties. Face it the duopoly is the political class. They have no party, only a desire to use the government to enrich themselves and accumulate power.

Trump is not part of them.

Even though you try and present him like he is. ALL of those cute people in t by e pictures turned on him when he went political.

Must suck to be you. How much are these anti American assholes paying you to sell out your country?

an outsider!

Actually he is "an outsider".. He didn't have the time to consider what party he was in while he was "date swapping" in that priceless pic of him and Melania and Billy Jeff and whoever the poor other girl is with the Walmart warm up suit..

If you strip the wrapping off of a populist of ANY kind, what you find is an independent thinker who believes fixing things for the people and CONNECTING to the people is much more important than party loyalty or polling or focus groups.. There's NOT MUCH of those last 3 things that Trump cares about. He'll not "hold up" on any idea or design that will tick off another victory "for the people". He's be less polarizing if he wasn't being hunted by deranged party people since he ANNOUNCED "he's a politician"...

It's the duopoly that is the cancer. We probably agree on that. And independence from party is what gonna "drain the swamp".. It's all the 180 yrs of "NESTING" goin on in there that BREEDS and sustains swamp creatures.. And our system never DID require a duopoly, never did require polarizing the camps in Congress making rules that PRESERVE their own duopoly.

So you think Liz Warren's recent admission of Authoritarism and her wet dream to criminalize speech isn't a TAD more obvious about "consolidating power"... Scratch a wannabee socialist and the Authoritarian tramp stamp is RIGHT THERE....

THOSE are the power hungry.. After his 2nd term (LOL,) he's NOT LIKELY to be spending a lot of time for party causes or even CONCERNED about either party crashing and burning..

Trump is not suggesting or advocating authoritarian plans and designs --- IS he? He's rattling a lot of cages BECAUSE he's not USING the "right and time tested" Washington 2 step to get his stuff done.. Which leads a lot of swamp creatures to go to bed feeling "unneeded" and hungry...

Trump does not have TDS. He does however, have a great love and respect for the American working people as evidenced in his success in stimulating companies to hire more people to further bring up wages. Isn't that making life a bowl of cherries for a lot of Americans who used to be on welfare. Now they're making more money than they ever dreamed of.

Isn't that making life a bowl of cherries for a lot of Americans who used to be on welfare. Now they're making more money than they ever dreamed of.

Yeah, he loves sucker Americans who line up his pockets. He funnels money from the US Government and Republican Party to his own properties.

Hmmmm, I see politician after politician arriving in "public service" with no money, and after a few short years they all become multi, multi, millionaires, on jobs that pay under 200,000 per year.

Prey tell the class how they do that....
