I saw this Sacramento Bee article on the Sacramento Bee app and thought you’d be interested.
How Wilton Rancheria chairman is helping Sacramento-area tribe reclaim its identity
“We see the world that we’re in now as untapped, because I don’t really see a lot of tribes getting active with their communities or their counties or the cities,” Tarango, 43, said. “Yes, they partner and do things, but have we ever really worked together to go fight for something that we both need?”
“With the Sacramento Metro Chamber, Tarango brought the needs of his citizens to the table in Washington D.C., during the organization’s Cap-to-Cap trip. While representing Wilton Rancheria, he advocated for funds to improve the infrastructure of Elk Grove and Wilton Rancheria. Tarango received the Al Geiger Memorial Award by the Chamber for this accomplishment in January.” BOTH SACRAMENTO BEE
For years Native People’s have worked to get out from under the caste that Columbus started.
White supremacy caused near genocide for all the native tribes.
Hollywood did not help matters, John Wayne was always killing the Indians..men and women.
In a real manner it was entertainment to see Native People die.
WHAT A MISERABLE COUNTRY WE HAVE BECOME….
