Northern Arapaho Leaders Call On All Tribes to
Oppose Bill

WIND RIVER RESERVATION, Wyoming—A new push by U.S. Sen. Mike Enzi, R-Wyo., to
terminate a portion of the Wind River Reservation should appall and worry Native
American people everywhere, Northern Arapaho leaders said Tuesday.
Draft legislation by Enzi, and supported by Sen. John Barrasso, R-Wyo., would eliminate
the reservation status of a significant portion of Northern Arapaho and Eastern Shoshone
homeland in central Wyoming.
“It's chilling to see this kind of attack on Indian Country in 2014,” said Northern Arapaho
Business Council Chairman Darrell O'Neal.
The bill is a response to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s decision to treat the
Wind River tribes as a state under the Clean Air Act. A detailed legal analysis in the EPA
decision concluded that the town of Riverton is part of the Wind River Reservation, a
position the tribes have always held.
Wyoming Gov. Matt Mead has asked the federal courts to determine whether the EPA
analysis is correct. Enzi has decided instead to change the law.
In doing so, Enzi has turned his back on his approximately 15,000 tribal constituents in
Wyoming, Northern Arapaho leaders said.
Northern Arapaho leaders traveled to Washington, D.C., last week to confront members
of the Wyoming’s delegation about the bill and their opposition to the tribes’ treatment as
a state application.
“We asked them to reconsider, to open their minds and work with us in good faith,” said
Councilman Al Addison, “but they were not interested.”
As a result, tribal leaders made a call Tuesday for support and prayers from Native
American people and governments everywhere. Tribal people must work together to
prevent the loss of any more of our precious homelands, Chairman O'Neal said.
“If the Wyoming Delegation can do this to us, they can do it to any tribe in the nation,”
O'Neal added.
Enzi was part of a similar anti-sovereignty campaign during the Northern Arapaho
Tribe’s successful effort to secure gaming more than a decade ago. Once again, Enzi has
demonstrated he is no friend of the tribes, tribal leaders said.

“We've seen these kinds of tactics from Senator Enzi before,” said Northern Arapaho
Business Council Co-Chairman Ronald Oldman. “They didn't work in our gaming case,
and they won't work here.”

DES SENATEURS AMERICAINS FONT PRESSION
POUR SOUSTRAIRE UNE PORTION DU TERRITOIRE
DE LA RESERVE DE WIND RIVER, DANS LE WYOMING
On April 3, 2014, in AMERINDIENS EN LUTTE/NATIVE AMERICAN STRUGGLES, by Chris P

toutes les tribus à s’opposer au projet de loi

RESERVE DE WIND RIVER, Wyoming – Une nouvelle pression exercée par le Sénateur Républicain du
Wyoming Mike Enzi pour soustraire une portion de la Réserve de Wind River devrait consterner et
inquiéter les Autochtones de partout, ont déclaré ce mardi les dirigeants Arapaho du Nord.
Un projet de loi présenté par Enzi et soutenu par le Sénateur John Barrasso, Républicain du Wyoming
également, éliminerait une portion non négligeable du territoire Arapaho du Nord et Shoshone de l’Est,
dans le centre du Wyoming, du statut de Réserve.
« Çà fait froid dans le dos de voir ce genre d’attaque contre le Pays Indien en 2014 » dit le Président du
Conseil Commercial Arapaho du Nord, Darrell O’ Neal.
Le projet de loi est une réaction à la décision de l’Agence de Protection de l’Environnement des Etats-Unis
de traiter les tribus de Wind River comme un état placé sous la Loi sur l’Air Pur. Une analyse légale
détaillée présentée dans la décision de l’Agence de Protection de l’Environnement conclut que la ville de
Riverton fait partie de la Réserve de Wind River, une position que les tribus ont toujours défendue.
Le Gouverneur du Wyoming Matt Mead a demandé à des tribunaux fédéraux de déterminer si l’analyse de
l’Agence de Protection de l’Environnement était correcte. Enzi a décidé, au lieu de cela, de changer la loi.
En faisant cela, Enzi a tourné le dos a environs 15000 de ses administrés tribaux dans le Wyoming, disent
les dirigeants Arapaho du Nord.
Les dirigeants Arapaho du nord ont fait le voyage à Washington D.C. la semaine dernière pour affronter
des membres de la délégation du Wyoming sur le projet de loi et leur opposition à ce que les tribus soient
traitées comme un état dans l’application de la loi.
« Nous leur avons demandé de reconsidérer leur position, de faire preuve d’ouverture d’esprit et de
travailler avec nous de bonne foi », dit le membre du Conseil Al Addison, « mais ils n’étaient pas intéressés
».
En conséquence, les dirigeants tribaux ont lancé mardi un appel à les soutenir et à organiser des prières à
tous les Amérindiens et leurs gouvernements où qu’ils soient. Les peuples tribaux doivent travailler
ensemble pour empêcher la perte de davantage de nos précieux territoires, dit le Président O’ Neal. « Si la
Délégation du Wyoming peut nous faire cela, ils peuvent le faire à n’importe quelle tribu du pays » a-t-il
ajouté.
Enzi participé à une campagne anti-souveraineté similaire lorsque la Tribu Arapaho du Nord s’est assurée
avec succès de la gestion des jeux, il y a plus de dix ans. Une fois de plus, Enzi a démontré qu’il n’était

« Nous avons déjà vu ce genre de tactique de la part du Sénateur Enzi » dit le co-président du Conseil

Northern Arapaho leiders roepen alle stammen op om wetsvoorstel te
dwarsbomen
Door: Norhtern Arapaho Tribe

Nederlands: A.Holemans NAIS- Gazette
Wind River Reservaat, Wyoming
“Een nieuwe ‘push’ door US Senator Mike Enzi,R-Wyo, om een deel van het Wind River
reservaat uit te schakelen moet afschuw en bezorgdheid opwekken bij alle Amerikaanse
Indianen”,aldus the Norhern Arapaho leiders.
Het wetsontwerp van Enzi, gesteund door Senator John Barrasso, R-Wyo., wil de reservaatstatus van een belangrijk deel van Norhern Arapaho en Eastern Shoshone thuisland in
Wyoming uitschakelen.
“ Het is eng om deze soort aanval op indiaans land mee te maken” zei Norhern Araphao
Business Council Chairman Darrell O’Neil.
Het wetsontwerp is een antwoord op de beslissing van het US Environmental Protection
Agency om de Wind River stammen als een staat onder de Clean Air Act te behandelen.
Een gedetailleerde en wettelijke analyse in het besluit van de EPA stelde dat de stad van
Riverton deel uitmaakt van het Wind River reservaat, een positie die de stammen altijd al gehad
hebben.
Gov.Matt Mead van Wyoming had het federaal gerechtshof gevraagd om de EPA analyse te
bevestigen. Enzi besloot dan maar de wet te veranderen.
Met deze daad heeft hij duidelijk ze rug gekeerd naar de ongeveer 15.000 tribale kiezers in
Wyoming, zeggen de Northern Arapaho leiders.
De leiders zijn verleden week naar Washington DC getrokken om leden van de Wyoming
delegatie te confronteren over het wetsontwerp .
“ Wij hebben hen gevraagd om opnieuw te willen overwegen, hun geest open te zetten en om
met ons samen in vertrouwen te werken,” zei raadsman Al Addison,” maar zij hadden geen
interesse”.
Daarom hebben tribale leiders de Native Amerikanen en overheden van overal opgeroepen om
hen te steunen.
De stammen moeten samenwerken om te voorkomen dat we nog meer van onze kostbare
thuislanden zullen verliezen, zegt Chairman O’Neil.
“ Als de Wyoming delegatie dit kan doen, dan kan dat met iedere stam gebeuren,” voegde hij er
nog aan toe.
Enzi maakte, meer dan 10 jaar geleden, deel uit van een dergelijke anti- soevereiniteit
campagne.
En nu heeft hij opnieuw duidelijk gemaakt dat hij geen vriend is van de stammen, zeggen de
stamleiders.
“ Wij hebben van Senator Enzi al meer van dat soort tactieken gezien," zegt Ronald Oldman,
Co-Chairman van Norhern Arapaho Business Council
