Statement from Zoi Lightfoot - Director of Legal Affairs Treaty House UK

[TRIBALMOONS@yahoo.com]

Um.........just FYI, LIGHTFOOT is a Cherokee Family name. Just thought I would throw that in.

[TRIBALMOONS@yahoo.com]

Why would someone throw this little tid bit in?

Got better things to do than play game's with people,if you have a problem spit it out then get a lawyer.

and probley even more goverments are watching as well
so be on you best behavour
for you represent your nation and not just your self

it is easy to hide behind lies,but only for a short time,
and when the truth comes out, it will haunt you for a long time if not forever

I see where Lightfoot is a surname of some Anishinabe people ...

Ray Lightfoot who was born on the Red lLake Reservation has worked for the bureau  for more than 30 years ..............

Within a year of the occupation of the area office by miltants , Lightfoot was promoted to area director. For the first time an Oshki Anishinabe was in charge of programs in 4 states........

I guess other people may have other questions , but my response to Zoi was just because  I don't think stopping frauds and exploiters can be done if people are afraid to ask questions. If people are who they say they are , I don't see why people asking questions and having doubts about someone they don't know, needs to be a cause for getting offended.

There's several Lightfoot in Ontario also, and they sure not Cherokee.  And then you have Gordon.

[TRIBALMOONS@yahoo.com]

I just put that out there because there are a lot of Cherokee Lightfoot, was not accusing or assuming.

Winona LaDuke also belongs to the Mississippi Band if I remember correctly. Zoi is a cousin of Leonard Peltier and has been active in his cause for a long time.

Leonard is half Lakota and Chippewa from the Turtle Mountain band of Chippewa.

Tansi;

Could some of the confusion come from the Anishnabe people having been known as Ojibwe or Chippewa?
