Criteria for recognition as an Indian tribe

As of March 22, 2007, the United States recognized 561 American Indian tribal communities as being eligible for funding and services from the Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA) by virtue of their official status as Indian tribes.
Since 1978, tribal communities have been required by law to apply for official acknowledgement as Indian tribes through the BIA. To attain federal acknowledgement as an Indian tribe, a community must apply for recognition through the BIA's Office of Federal Acknowledgment (OFA), and meet the criteria established by Part 83 of Title 25 of the Code of Federal Regulations (25 CFR Part 83), Procedures for Establishing that an American Indian Group Exists as an Indian Tribe.
Criteria for recognition as an Indian tribe: Under the above law, a community petitioning the government for recognition as a federally acknowledged Indian tribe must be able to meet all seven of the following criteria:

• Criterion 83.7(a) requires that external observers have identified the petitioner as an American Indian entity on a substantially continuous basis since 1900.
• Criterion 83.7(b) requires that a predominant portion of the petitioning group has comprised a distinct community since historical times.
• Criterion 83.7(c) requires that the petitioning group has maintained political influence over its members as an autonomous entity since historical times.
• Criterion 83.7(d) requires that the petitioner provide a copy of its governing document.
• Criterion 83.7(e) requires that a petitioner's members descend from a historical Indian tribe.
• Criterion 83.7(f) requires that the petitioner's membership be composed principally of persons who are not members of another Federally recognized Indian tribe.
• Criterion 83.7(g) requires that the petitioner not be subject to legislation forbidding the Federal relationship.

Since 1978, 324 groups have stated their intent to apply for tribal acknowledgment through the OFA's administrative process. As of Feb. 15, 2007, 81 of these groups had submitted completed applications. Out of these 81 groups, 16 had been acknowledged as tribes, 24 had been denied tribal designation and the rest remained in various stages of consideration and negotiation.
Federal assistance to recognized Indian tribes includes; development of tribal government, economic development, education, law enforcement, social services, real estate services, agriculture and range management, and resource protection.

The Mafia and OCS.

"The Mafia (also known as Cosa Nostra) is a criminal syndicate that emerged in the mid-nineteenth century in Sicily, Italy. It is a loose association of criminal groups that share a common organizational structure and code of conduct, and whose common enterprise is protection racketeering. Each group, known as a "family", "clan", or "cosca", claims sovereignty over a territory in which it operates its rackets – usually a town or village or a neighbourhood (borgata) of a larger city. Its members call themselves "men of honor", although the public often refers to them as "mafiosi"."

I must apologise for the comparison of the Mafia and Child Protection Services (get it... protection?). I would like to apologise to the Mafia, as from what I have always read and heard, the group has honor, and they care for their kids. Child Protection Services, or Office of Children's Services (OCS) from where I am, has none. They lie, they cheat, they misinform, they manipulate, they hypnotize people into seeing things that are not there and they throw out false allegations. All under the cover of secrecy and "the color of law". All they need do is make a statement and the world, and the courts, think it must be true. After all... the right hand of God said so. It is indeed, a "Good ol' Boys Club".
Like the AAG in this case, who was a member of the gang who helped steel the grandmothers inheritance in the late 90's. A 160 acre homestead and two other properties. The mother was placed in an eight thousand dollar per month state owned Pioneers Home assisted living quarters. It didn't take long to suck up that money. She knows us and we know her. Then a lawyer, is now an Assistant Attorney General. an uncanny coincidence. This a severe conflict of interest with her on the simulated board of child accusations.

A case in point...

As anyone has read, OCS has kidnapped for profit, three of our grand children and shipped them off to another state. They used lies and false allegations with extreme prejudice to accomplish this monetarily profitable endeavor. I must say again, under the color of law and governmental immunity. They have also stolen the fourth grand child (of a different father) the same way.

Here is the excuse used for this kidnapping (from their own paper work):

I quote:

"There is further concern about neglect by Ms. XXXX as not only does she know that Mr. XXXXXXXX may have sexually abused her child but she continues to allow her own father to have access and unsupervised contact with her children. Ms. XXXX has stated many times that she has blocked out her childhood because of abuse she suffered by her father. Ms. XXXX has stated to previous OCS workers (*not named) that her father sexually abused her when she was a child. Ms. XXXX's oldest child, L.R. went through a paternity test recently to rule out Ms. XXXX's own father, Clipper XXXXXXX, as the biological father of L.R.. Mr.XXXX, Ms. XXXX's current husband, had also worried that Clipper may be the father of his own grandchild. Ms. XXXX has demonstrated time and again that she cannot see danger for her children and does not plan effectively to keep them safe."

I can garenXXXXXXteeya OCS has stolen these kids under false pretenses and false allegations. I would also like to apologies in advance for what I am about to say. It takes a sorry son-of-a-xxxxx to say something like that. I take a REAL offense towards this. I have tolerated it for fear of loosing my grandchildren. I am done with toleration. These "public" officials need to become public. Like Justin. When all others fail to intimidate, send him in to take away the rights of others. We have a professional who says L.R. is (was) just fine. Her opinion didn't matter as she was not a member of the paid service providers used by OCS. We also have school records that say the kids were happy and doing fine. We also have the forensic tests from the Alaska State Troopers that say nothing happened. To use the same crap to steal another kid is even worse. A Grandson I have never yet met.
I would assume, from what I have heard, that the next step in OCS's threats and intimidation would be that if the father of the first three kids does not sign over his parental rights (which he has not and we are proud of him for that) they will threaten him with taking his kids back from (the other state) they are in and placing them in some foster home in an Alaskan (Eagle) native village with COMPLETE strangers. All in the guise of culture.
The grandmother is from Kotzebue and is an Alaskan native.  Who's leg would they be pulling here? If those kids were sent to a village, it would be about retaliation and money.
Which leads me back to the Mafia (although perverted). How far has this gone?


Quo warranto (Medieval Latin for "by what warrant?") is a prerogative writ requiring the person to whom it is directed to show what authority they have for exercising some right or power (or "franchise") they claim to hold.
