Thanks to Eleanor Left Hand for joining in the conversation about tribal constitutional reform. Here’s what she had to share about the Cheyenne and Arapaho Tribes efforts about making change in tribal government:
Interesting…my Tribal government has been struggling with a new constitution since ‘06 and I mean struggling…
to inform the Tribal members before changes are made is crucial, those changes need to be clear on just how it will effect each and every Tribal member! No hidden agenda for sure it is a momentous task.
A copy of my tribal constitution can be found here.As Natives,we need all the information about all Tribal Nations so that we can be strong in our unity for our future as Sovereign Nations.
Thanks
Eleanor

Cheyenne and Arapaho tribes will not prosper, as long as Flyingman sells our souls to big money. This man is a liar, and a thief. No true Native American would do the things he has done to his own people. He will go down in our history as a traitor to his tribe. Which he doesn’t even know which tribe he is. He has tried to buy his way into a chief from both sides. Cheyenne didn’t want him, and Arapahos soundly rejected him. This “man”, is buying his way into white society with OUR MONEY!!! Google the awards the white man has given him…now ask a C/A what they think of him. Big difference. He has given more money to white people, than his own tribes. Traitor, sellout, want to be…..banishment should be used.

Our healthcare system should be reformed, but government control is not the answer. This will do more harm than good. This will make the economy and unemployment much worse. If this is the best we can do, then we are in real trouble.
