I am a member of the Lac du Flambeau Band of Lake Superior Chippewa Indians of Wisconsin. Our Tribal Council has illegaly co-mingled Ferderal and State grants, along with all our Tribal general funds against the approval of the majority of the Tribe. Most of this money was sent to Mississippi in order to get the Grand Soleil Casino up and running. From the illegal actions of the so called leaders and representatives of our Tribe, we are now in financial ruin at over 80 million dollars in debt, and with over 10% unemployment becaused of forced lay-offs and terminations of programs, we are recognized as in a depression. This is outrageous! With my stimulas money I plan to get information on what is happening down there and why it has taken so long for justice to be done to these criminals. What is going on down there anyways?

All of you say the jobs in Natchez are scare, what about the new casinos that are popping up? I know hospitals are important, but as one comment said, people are moving away and the young are heading off to college, why do you need two hospitals? Our casino here, employees many elderly as well as the ordinary joe who needs work. As a matter of fact the Grand Soleil Casino is partly ours, but it still in and under construction. getting back to your topic, two hospitals, a bad decision, why not just expand on the present one? You would save money.

<<destiny and kpage>>Thanks you both for your input. We have some "movement" happening up here, the Dept. of Justice and their auditors are showing a little concern. It seems our Tribal Council and a few other areas of our Tribal enterprises are now under scruntiny. We,(concerned Tribal members), have been trying for years for this to happen, 10 of us even staged a peaceful sit-in to demand a forensic audit of the whereabouts of missing tribal monies, a lot of Tribal money! Of course we were arrested and nothing was done. But it finally looks like some one is waking up. This past week, the Sheriff of Vilas Co.(our County) wrote a letter to the Tribe asking when the County was going to recieve it's fair share of the program monies sent by the State of Wisconsin, this grant is for the joint co-operation between Tribal and County law-enforcement,the Tribe recieved the Money and never gave the County their share. We really do have a crooked Tribal system in operation up here and its time they pay the piper.
