Yeagley's Follower Is Trying to Smear NAFPS

[educatedindian]

Someone calling himself "Tall Soldier" who won't say his real name or the unit he alleges he was one part of. It gets pretty ridiculous. He's basing everything on the Scarlet Kinney's whining to the world about us. And he's also claiming we have lots of porn ads.

Funny thing is, not even the lone other supporter of Yeagley, BAG, is buying his lies.

Nice to see so many people defending us. I suppose we shouldn't be suprised that a white imposter's follower gets angry to see white Nuage exploiters exposed. He supports "Indian" mascots and whites playing Indians, why not?

He's over at Badeagle.com now, spreading the smears further. But even there, people are laughing at him. Except for Yeagley, of course, who is cheering him on and too lazy to notice Martin's lies.

Army honors Dallas man who exposed fake records

"I think he's been a great service to everybody – certainly to veterans who deserve recognition for their service and acts of heroism and whose achievements are devalued by people who are claiming them falsely," said Mark Bowden, a national correspondent with Atlantic Monthly magazine and author of Black Hawk Down.

John W. Nicholson, an undersecretary at the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs, nominated Mr. Burkett for the award more than a year ago, noting that Mr. Burkett had to overcome huge obstacles to get his story out.

"He did all this despite death threats, lawsuits and a completely unhelpful book industry that at first refused to publish his findings," Mr. Nicholson said.

But the results have been significant, he said.

"He exposed a mass distortion of history that cost taxpayers billions of dollars" in undeserved veteran benefits, Mr. Nicholson said. "He returned to the Vietnam veterans their good name."

RESOLUTION OF THE COMANCHE GENERAL COUNCIL TAKEN IN LAWTON, OKLAHOMA ON JULY 28, 2006
Resolution No. 126-02, Enrollment Withdrawal:

WHEREAS, the Comanche General Council is the duly elected official body designated to conduct the affairs for and on behalf of the Comanche Nation; and whereas, the Comanche Nation retains the exclusive right to determine the enrollment status of individuals pursuant to Article III, Section 1(c) Membership, of the Constitution of the Comanche Nation which states, “All descendants of allottees eligible for membership under the provision of Section 1(a) of this Article;

AND WHEREAS, the tradition of sovereignty of the Comanche Nation, since time immemorial long predates the existence of the United States of America, establishes the inherent sovereign powers and rights of Comanche self-government; whereas, the Constitution, Article VI, section 7(j), authorizes the General Council to enforce laws to promote the general welfare of the Nation;

AND WHEREAS, the Comanche Nation recognizes the issue of a community aspect being associated with individual rights and the law, long before the development of a unified American Judicial system; and, uncommonly, individual transgressions bring forth the need of a community remedy addressing the breach of social behavior set forth within Comanche civil society;

AND WHEREAS, the Comanche General Council recognizes the blatant assault on the Comanche Nation, resulting in damage to the reputation of its civil society and cultural practices, and attempts by a specific individual at undermining its sovereign structure as a self-governing community; and resulting in the cultural and financial backlash against the Comanche Nation as a whole by the misperceived misogynistic attributes, inappropriate stereotyped misrepresentations, and general “anti-Indian??? stance of the specifically named individual herein;

AND WHEREAS, such individual transgressions by this named individual are deemed abhorrent and unforgivable to Comanche civil society, as evidenced in the corpus of this individual’s writings over many years, regardless of the ethnic recognition of this perpetrator;

NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED, the Comanche General Council and the Comanche Nation of Oklahoma calls for the disenrollment and banishment of one specific named individual, Mr. David Yeagley, and

BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that the Comanche General Council and the Comanche Nation of Oklahoma calls upon the Free Press for immediate adoption of regulatory policies and rules eliminating the usage of Mr. David Yeagley’s verbal and written declarations, in all mediums.

The resolution itself isn't real. It appeared originally on a satire website. My guess is they just wanted to point out Yeagley could be banished for his actions.

Even though the document isn't for real, it's practically true. The Comanches wouldn't let him on their Business Comittee, or their committee to rewrite their constitution. They won't even let him speak at their tribal college, where he wanted to speak in favor of mascots. When he speaks at tribal meetings they do their best to be polite, but often his wackiness and ignorance leads to a lot of snickering and groans.

My understanding is that the Comanche don't banish anyone, not even a nut like him, but he's gotten as close as they've ever come to it.
