Founders of the Crow Nation Tea Party held their first rally Monday in Hardin, Montana.
Helenair reported:
Calling for new tribal leadership and a break from the federal government, founders of the first Crow Indian Tea Party movement rallied Monday in Hardin.
Leading the new Crow Nation Tea Party was Adrian Bird Sr., a former tribal chairman candidate who recently filed a civil complaint against the Crow executive branch alleging malfeasance for mismanaging tribal funds.
Bird, his wife, Lavanna, and fellow Tea Party founder Karmelita Plains Bull Martin are seeking to impeach the tribe’s four executives and take the Indian government in a different direction.
“We want them out of there because they are mismanaging tribal funds,” Bird said. “We need to get the people together.”
The Birds and Plains Bull Martin accuse the administration of mismanaging “tribal funds regarding education, employment, housing, casino finances,” and they accuse the tribal leadership of “total disregard of our laws and policies as the Crow Nation.”
Bird said the tribe would be better off if it developed the natural resources on the reservation, lived by tribal laws and declined federal government assistance.

Is it not time for Native Americans to find their voice? For too long, they have been the forgotten people. Remember, when the race baiters and poverty pimps are spouting about “minorities”, they don’t mean ALL minorities, just “black” minorities. Hell, Native Americans, and Asians, are not even included in affirmative action quotas. What’s wrong with that picture?
And who better knows what “government” health care is like. Ask the Crow, the Navajo, the Creek, the Cherokee, the Apache and the Alabama-Coushatta what the BIA health care system is about.

In the original tea party, the colonists supposedly dressed as Indians. It’s good to see a tea party with real Indians.

Mismanaging of funds? I hope they can get an audit.
In American government, the minority can never audit the majority. At least not in 2010.

Who in the MSM will be the first to draw some lame-a$$ connection between “Crow Nation Tea Party” and the old Jim Crow laws? Bill Maher? Rachael Maddow? Chris Matthews? Keith Olbermann? Joy Behar?
