To the Editor:
What would our ancestors of our great people
think? They would be ashamed of our
bickering and fighting that has happened
with our council members, which has led to
our tribe splitting into two tribes forcing
you and me to choose a side. We will never
be federally recognized until we, as a
nation, stand together as one, to put a
finer point on it. United we stand, divided
we fall.
What a shame to think divided
we fall. Tribal members, let's take a stand.
Council members of our great people, please
come together as one Shasta Tribe. Then,
and only then, will be stand united.
Melinda Snyder,
Silver Lake, Ore.
