[*1 ??___?????? .. ? - ? ' - day about aome paper the had signed for LRDA. Well, she didn't understand what she had signed. Miss Cosuwe. and *e thought Ol Wiz could explain >3) st to her Well, this best paper the ~ LRDA is passing out gives the appearance that, if you sign it, yon ?? support our Lusnhee bill. But, when - Ol wiz read it dose, its sayiag that if " you sign it you give LRDA the right to be in charge of you as a tribal government Now, the woman didn't - understand that when the signed this '-'paper. Miss Conwoe She was told by the LRDA that it was m support of the Lumbee bill. They just didn't tell her the other part in the paper, cause if she ' had known that, she would have told them whereto put their piece of paper LRDA has taken advantage of our people for so long, Miss Coanee. that -'they see nothing wrong in asking a ' woman to sign a paper that the don't " understand which gives up her right to have a tribal government. Deceit is an evil thing. Miss Coanee, and when we have so-called lenders pulling the wool over their own people's eyes, we are living in some mighty bad times. CM Wiz expects that the LRDA papers with this woman's name on it will be sent up there to Washington to prove to some Senator or to the Bureau of Indian Affairs that LRDA is over all of us Indians. But, when they git this other little piece of paper that this woman is sending up there. I reckon their scheming to set themselves up over us as cur tribal government wiB be brought into the open Now. the proper way for us to elect us a tribal government is to first figure out what we want this government to, doand what it can't be doing 01 Wiz likes to call it rules and regulations, but in Indian bp;mess, its called a tribal constitution, it sets out on paper what the tribal government can do and what it can't do Then, once we vote on that, we elect the people who I run our tribal government under those rules and regulations. Ain't nothing odd about that. Miss Coanee Thais the way PTA is run. the way Churches are run. and the way the United States runs and a whole bunch of other countries who care about freedom Course, if you ain't wanting to do something the right way. yeupdght; ^^rn sneak wutmd and a* people to up some paper thai goes against the damocrelicwuy. ' . Rules and regulations are a good thing. MissCotmee If you have them written out <n pages aid its adopted by the people, then yon don't have situations like we have hen with the LRDA. But, if you ain't wanting to follow any roles or regulations, you're going to be working against them. which is what LRDA is doing They am> wanting to be held down by any rules excepting those they make up along the way. which if it suits their purpose, they can ignore Our people have always been taken advantage of. MissCormee. Off of our poverty and Inch of schooling, they build themselves up. Then, they forgit the people, until they want something else from us. Well, them LRDA boys can beg all they want. Ol Wiz ain't signing their piper to give away his rights to LRDA, Miss Connee. About the only thing CH Wiz believes they are ftttin to be in charge of is those turkeys they own up there in St. Pauls. Speaking of turkeys. Miss Connee, our REA signed off an the LRDA is sitting thousands of co-op money to buythat turkey farm. 01 Wiz has even beard they turned over a bunch of money that was given to the REA to LRDA on helping people with their light bills. What the people should do who gave this money is ask for an accounting of that money given to the LRDA. 01 Wiz would like to know. Miss Connee, whether it really went to the people, or whether it went for something else at the LRDA Now, this other young woman I know was telling me that she got laid off by the LRDA. According to her, she ain't the only one thats hud off. It seems. Miss Connee. that they're in icnte kicdofbindoverthere. The way I heard it, they're running short on money and are having to let some folks go. Course, if they had listened toOl Wiz about throwing away money on fancy ads, they might not be in this fix they're in and that woman might have a job today, but the LRDA ain't caring about these things. Miss Connee. If they ain't careful, they'll spend every cotton-picking nickel sent here to help our people in fighting the ^j>eople on their ccstttitdlion - I , j , k*ivi -k 1 hv LRDA, Ik i witoam a* the arte* and that* were the Lvmfesc iadusaies is looking k?movuig From L^iKlt^vlv g^j^i iy ^^i,|g cS^SEaTte C?M git on thai bored.

Mire Cwreree. bud* of a *?**"? slick fogf**?T* Seems to me dm some of these REA boys, the* LRDA boys, and those Lumbee Industrie* boys are sticking nughty close together and are controlling millions of dollars. If this Lrenbee bill passes, they're wanting to git their hands on million* more, MissConnee This is tire real reason tiwy' re lighting the people so hard on having a constitution. They figure this constitution will bind them to some rules and regulations. Miss Cannae, and they ain't wanting to live under any rules or regulations, excepting the ones they make up which bene ft! them, not the people The way CM Wiz looks at it. they ain't shown him what they have done with the millions they have already went through, and he sure ato t wanting to gi ve them his blood money to be a wheeling and dealing through their corporations that he ain't no member of, receives nothing from except some taters. Now. there might be some of ore people that can afford to sign a blank check over to the LRDA, MissConnee. but Ol Wiz ain 't one of them He's looking down the rond to college bills that have to be paid for his grandchildren, having some money if ooe of the children have to go to the hospital, and helping out his children aud grandciuidieu when they ain't got no money coming in to buy groceries, pay light bills, or doctor "bills He's looking toward the day and time when leaders are held accountable by the people cause they operate under the rules and regulations of the people We ain't got that now. but I reckon it won't be long before we will have us a constitution Now. if folks want to give them LRDA boys a blank check to hr in charge of them with no rules and regulations, they need to line up at the LRDA to sign their paper But. Ol Wiz ain't going to be in mat line. Miss Conn* He'll be standing over there in that other line to vote, on our j the" ronl 'todLTSi^^ our people tfMH folks ? lha+itg thets where LRDa u looking, they ncoJ to take a cloee look at whose future the t RDa u worried about horn ?hti Oi Wiz **>. the oelv future LROA is looking after is the tone ofLRDA, not the people. Thats why corporauuas like LRD* can t SSSSSfSf^s Bat. a corporation Ma t pot Mood through in veins, Mia Connee It d^cMeTt aoAMliy1 AH its got is paper, a bank account, and a permit from the government to cany oa bueineei A corporaboa doesn't buy groceries. Miss Coanee. cause it ami not ao need for food. H don't go to chuich, cause it aia't got ao need for salvation and anyway. Only people go to heaven. A corporation doesn't starry or have children, either It cm merge with I other corporations, and it create other .orporatioos like the way LJtDA created Lwnbee Industries But it doesn't stand before Almighty God and take an oath to love, honor, and obey; neither does it sufler the pangs 4>f childbirth, Miss Coanee, or knows what it like to sit up with a sick child through the night But, if folks want to put the interest of a corporation over their own flethand blood, thats their choice. Miss Coanee. AH 01 Wiz will do is remember them in his prayers, know thai W D. Locklcar (Elders and Traditionalist) Corn**** , ^ ??
