Subject: Council abuse of Power

In Metlakatla,
We have only a watered-down version of that bill of rights,
Called the Indian Bill of Rights
But it�s not enforceable because,
where do you go to enforce it?
You cannot go to Federal Courts or State Courts,
Because of Sovereignty immunity.
In the end We have to go to tribal courts,
which are in the pockets of the Metlakatla Tribal Councils,
which are often the ones violating the rights."
So what are the solutions to our Problems?
I would say that we have the power to vote out any of the Current Council,
The biggest problem is to get as many Member out to vote as possible.
