    Keep up this Honorable Fight!! Over my 34 years of legal practice in Indian Country, I full well know how it is to get attacked by tribal officials advised by non-tribal lawyers. I survived these cowardly efforts and gotten stronger and more dedicated to justice for those tribal Peoples who are targeted by their own tribes for no understandable reason except for the exercise of hatred, meanness and evil motives.
