Nothing can change an Executive Order without an Act of U.S. Congress as stated in the Dawes Allotment Act of 1887. It was in their honor, and because of all the other unsolved murders and injustices against our people, that Camp Justice and the March for Justice to White Clay, Nebraska was established. During the FBI update meeting, Chip Burrows, Jr. stated that Attorney General Janet Reno told the FBI that she wanted this case to be solved, and wanted them to do anything to get it solved. Tom Poor Bear, Camp Justice Spokesperson asked the FBI if they judged their progress in the case as a scale from 0 to 10, where would they be today. They said they could not do that, offered more excuses, no explanations, in Tom's opinion, so Tom stood, proudly disgusted, and left the room.
Many supporters still feel there is a cover-up and attempts to hide information.
Tom also spoke to students and staff of the University of Nebraska. He spoke of the formation of the events which led to the establishment of Camp Justice and the marches, specifically speaking to why liquor sales in White Clay relates to the sovereignty issue. Reports we have been receiving from supporters who attended the events are that Tom was well received, and the questions from the audience were serious and genuine. He was relieved to see familiar faces of supporters, and we wish to thank all our supporters for all they have helped us accomplish. Supper and a Pow-Wow at the Billy Mill's Hall in Pine Ridge will follow.
