The tribes chairman and his son have given campaign contributions to the bush/cheney 2004 election cycle. As someone who is a native American Indian I find this most embarrassing to state that I am a Cowlitz Indian after learning that the Chairman of the tribe used Our official name when he and his son gave $2,000 each plus the wife on the council also gave $2,000.
To be Tribal Chairman and give campaign contributions to the most hated administration on this planet goes against everything we as Indigenous People believe in concerning Our Mother Earth and all peoples of the World. We were taught that all life is the most important part of being of the human race and given to us by the Great Spirit to be stewards and not destroyers of our Mother Earth.
