…. some vague rumor about getting caught with his hand in the cookie jar.
“that cookie’s name is Majel Russell!”

Dang that’s a lotta cookie to chew!

I’m at a loss for words….
well, not totally…
I guess the baker’s only supposed to knead the cookie dough, but let SOMEONE ELSE eat it. Hmmm. I think I can do better than that.
Question: What do you get when you combine three cups of flour, 1/4 cup of sugar, 1/8 teaspoon cinamon, 1/2 teaspoon baking soda, a sprinke of spice, two egg whites, Majell Russell and Carl Artman and only one year?
Answer: We’ll never know what the ingredients for cooking will make because for some mysterious reason they sat on the hotel counter, unused…
“Hey is that an INCREDIBLY short CAREER in your pocket or are you just happy to see me?”
He wouldn’t normally be caught dead during the day doing this…but it’s only 5 o’clock so there’s still time.
“Mootyliscious!”
“We’ll just send this false report back because it didn’t have a NEPA evaluation.”
“awww hell, I give up, I can’t solve the BIA problems, and I can’t keep this secret. I resign!”

This is the latest flyer on the reservation:
NO ONE WANTS THIS:
It looks like just another case of the same old thing, but this time is different, far more is at stake. The Constitutional Court will soon make the final decision on whether President Eugene Little Coyote is guilty of “neglect of duties” for defending himself, but the council has been acting like they are in control, acting like bullies, acting as though the law & due processing mean nothing. The Constitutional Court has made their decision & that’s what we stand by.
WHY IS THIS HAPPENING?
The council talks about standing united and how they are proud of that, but almost everyone now knows that they have joined together because they all have different hateful reasons to remove the President: The greedy want the methane, The old rulers and families who once controlled and mismanaged the reservation want revenge for Eugene defeating them. The old-scholars don’t like that a young Cheyenne man has the power they think they should have. The
criminals want him gone so they can line their pockets and intimidate workers. The dumb are too stupid to see the rest is using them. Why is this happening? GREED, REVENGE, JEALOUSY, POWER, CONTROL and STUPIDITY,
but the problem is made worse by those who could correct this injustice but do nothing. For too long people in positions of power fear that doing the right thing will anger the wrong people and cause retaliation and loss of a job. Their inaction gives legitimacy to these ridiculous actions and disappoints the people.
FACTS:
The charge of “neglect of duties” due to a fight is weak at best but the Greedy couldn’t wait any longer to get rid of
him (Great Bear is here now & money is to be made). They jumped on the first weak accusation they could make and the rest were more then happy to pile on, but this weak accusation is a joke. They claim to be standing against violence and for the good of the people. Here’s their proof:
1) The council of hypocrites claim they are so offended and absolutely upset the President would get into a fight that
they made Wolfname their President, for the same fight that he started. Worse, eight people chose an accused
harasser of woman to serve as leader of the people.
2) Then these council of criminals issued a public statement threatening workers that if they don’t go along with, then
they do so at “its, his or her own peril”, “Peril: exposure to the risk of being injured, destroyed or lost” –
Merriam Webster Dictionary
3) Days later they issued another statement saying that if Eugene did not go they would “physically remove him”.
Who will impeach them for threatening violence in the workplace?
4) 72% of the people voted NO to METHANE (3out of every 4) in November 2006. Just 4 months after the people
voted, this council proposed resolutions allowing Great Bear to build a methane pipeline across the reservation. It’s
not about “Neglect of Duties”, it’s about Greed,Revenge,Jealousy,Power & Control.
THE FUTURE:
Some of you don’t live here but one and I don’t see her at any of the council meetings, so you don’t see what the council is doing everyday and she don’t know what the people want, if she did then we wouldn’t be in this situation. THEN YOU MUST KNOW THIS:
They lie to the public about this situation by lying about Eugene and not addressing the accusation against them-they refuse to face the public and the press. All they can do is spread ridiculous lies to defend their dishonorable actions.
But for those supporting the President and justice these times have been very hard. Hundreds came to the hearing, it’s a difficult burden for them to know the truth while the liars seem to be winning, but you are honorable, feel good about your honor. Doing the right thing is much harder then doing the wrong thing. Close supporters will lose their jobs if this injustice wins. Many others will be retaliated against, but most people make up the silent majority and they now that the council is wrong and sick of it, that is understandable. Even those who did not vote for the President can see that this is wrong. But no matter what the outcome is, know this: President Eugene Little Coyote will not give up
the people’s struggle-this is not about him or his family, it’s about justice & the future of the Nation and if you don’t believe this then get to know him & you will see what he stands for. These are not just words, ask him & see for yourself. Then you’ll know that no matter what, there are honorable people who will keep fighting to do what’s right. The people are in charge here-not the council, not even the President and the people will rule from the streets with referendums & recall for things to be made right if necessary. The people have had enough…Now IS the time to make things RIGHT.

Who is this Royce Ridge Bear guy? And apparently this crazy man is armed and threatening the tribal president and tribal council.As far as I know he has not been apprehended. I know the tribal council is out of line but, I would hate to have this guy exact street justice on them. The tribal chairman should vacate for her own safety.

It is never right for a Cheyenne to threaten or harm another Cheyenne in such a manner. I don’t know who this guy is but I hope he uses his better judgement and acts like a true Cheyenne.
