Always follow the money whenever Obama is involved in something. He recently
injected himself into the so-called “controversy” over the name
Washington Redskins. But guess what? This guy may not even be a legitimate
Indian.
The American Indian leader spearheading the campaign to change the name
of the Washington Redskins is not a legitimate member of the tribe he leads,
according to a New York State Assemblywoman, but rather an Obama crony who
is raking in casino money and paying back only small stipends to his tribe
members.
Oneida Nation Representative Ray Halbritter, who is also the CEO of
Oneida Nation Enterprises, is not recognized in his position by the Grand
Council of Chiefs governing the Six Nations Iroquois Confederacy. Halbritter
is not a legitimate member of the Oneida tribe, Assemblywoman Claudia
Tenney told The Daily Caller.
“He is not even technically an Oneida. There is not a drop of Oneida in
him,” Tenney said.
Halbritter traces his lineage back to a woman who lived on traditional
Iroquois Confederacy land, but as a non-member of the Six Nations.
As Elizabeth Warren might say, what difference does it make?
Halbritter ancestor Lucy Carpenter’s expulsion from the Six Nations,
according to the 1885-1940 Census Rolls, invalidates Halbritter’s claim to
one-fourth Oneida heritage on his mother’s side, according to Tenney.
“He has no ancestry in the Six Nations but he has a lot of powerful
friends in D.C.,” Tenney said.
Halbritter attended a January 27, 2012 fundraiser with President Obama
in Washington, D.C. with 70 Indian leaders. The $15,000 to $35,800
fundraiser raised up to $2.5 million for Obama’s re-election campaign.
Such revelations will no doubt be met with yawns from the media. That or
accusations of racism. It sure won’t stop their current crusade. Bob Costas
was unavailable for comment. |
