THE NEW TREASURER IN. THERE WAS NO QUORUM BUT STILL HE PROCEEDED WITH THE DECISION OF SEATING THE NEW TREASURER.
I CALLED EVERYWHERE IN THE PHONE BOOK TO SEE IF I COULD FIND AN ATTORNEY TO REPRESENT ME WITH MY CASE. I DIDN'T KNOW THAT THE ATTORNEY I HAVE NOW WAS THE SAME ATTORNEY WHO FILED A SUITE [SIC] AGAINST CLARENCE AND OTHERS. I DIDN'T EVEN KNOW THAT THIS ATTORNEY WAS WORKING ON THIS OLD CASE AGAIN. NOW I AM BEING BLAMED FOR THINGS THAT THE ATTORNEY PUT IN THE PAPER AMONG OTHER THINGS. I AM ALSO BEING BLAMED FOR ROSALINDA [SIC] HAVING THE SAME ATTORNEY. AGAIN I HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH THAT AND I DIDN'T EVEN KNOW ABOUT ROSALINDA UNTIL THE ATTORNEY SENT ME A COPY OF A LETTER SENT TO THE ATTORNEY'S [SIC] FOR THE TRIBE STATING THAT HE WAS REPRESENTING US.
I HAVE ONLY MET WITH THIS ATTORNEY ONCE AND STILL HAVE TO DISCUSS WITH HIM ON THE MATTER OF MY LAW SUITE [SIC] SO THAT I CAN FIND OUT WHAT IS GOING ON. ALL I KNOW IS THAT THE ATTORNEY STATED THAT ANY INFORMATION HE MAY HAVE NOW WAS BY PUBLIC RECORD. I DID NOT GIVE THIS ATTORNEY ANY INFORMATION ON THESE OTHER PEOPLE.
AND JUST IN CASE EVERYONE HAS FORGOTTEN, WE ALL RECEIVE MINUTES AND HAVE COPIES *958 OF THE BI-LAWS [SIC] AND IN ORDER TO HAVE ANY ATTORNEY REPRESENT ME FOR THIS CASE OF WRONGFUL TERMINATION I HAD TO GIVE THESE TO HIM SO THAT HE CAN UNDERSTAND MY CASE AS A PREVIOUS EMPLOYEE. THIS IS ALL I HAVE TO SAY ON MY BEHALF AS A TRIBAL MEMBER.
IF GENERAL COUNCIL HAS ANY OTHER QUESTIONS REGARDING ANY MATTERS WITH MY ATTORNEY YOU CAN CONTACT HIM AT 583-9527. YOU CAN ASK FOR PAUL HENRY ABRAM.
Roselind Quair's statement is as follows:
TO ALL THE TRIBAL MEMBERS; I, ROSELIND QUAIR, AM NOT SUING THE TRIBAL MEMBERS. I AM SUING ONLY THE PEOPLE WHO ALLOWED A WRONG TO BE DONE TO MYSELF AND OTHERS. I WANT YOU TO KNOW THAT CHARLOTTE BERNA DID NOT HELP ME TO GET MY LAWYER. TO CLEAR UP THIS SCANDAL ABOUT CHARLOTTE BERNA, THE COLLEGE HAD SEEN WHAT I WAS GOING THROUGH IN MY PERSONAL ANGUISH. MY COUNSELOR HELPED ME RETAIN MY LAWYER. I HAVE THE RIGHT TO DO WHAT IS RIGHT. I AM PERSON [sic] JUST LIKE EVERYONE ELSE. JUST BECAUSE I AM IN WHEEL-CHAIR DOES NOT MEAN I DO NOT HAVE A MIND OF MY OWN. I WILL CONTINUE TO DO WHAT I MUST DO. IF I DO NOT, SOMEONE ELSE MAY THINK THEY ARE FREE TO ABUSE ONE OF YOU HERE ON THE RANCHERIA.
