Comment from Christine Rose on the non profit ICGPA players union effort to close the BIA: “…It sounds to me like the same ole dominant culture wanting to change the rules to benefit themselves while telling the tribes they are looking out for their best interests. In essence, as so many white supremacists do, they are calling anyone who they believe has other rights then they do to be racist. In fact, these people aren’t happy until they have total control.”
Dear Christine and Rob,
Christine, you use the term “dominant culture” as if you are not a member of it. All United States citizens are members of the dominant culture. With the single exception of the residents of the Bureau of Indian Affairs reservation system. Unfortunately, those citizens find their culture is being administered to by government bureaucrats.

The BIA has stifled, and interfered with, the ability of tribal communities to evolve and develop alongside other communities within our political subdivisions. Without question, this has been done intentionally and by design. Change the rules? No Christine, you and Rob want to ignore the existing rules, along with the Constitution and the Bill of Rights.
