Dear Spirit Eagle,

   Yes, as a New Orleans tourguide, I know about the Houma Indians.  They are the only Indian tribe left in Louisiana, and have never been recognized as a tribe by the U.S. Govt., simply because they never had a treaty with the government.  They have been swindled out of their lands and royalties on natural resources on individual properties by the U.S. govt. and the oil companies.  Their children were not accepted to the public school system until 1966.

   Houma is a city southwest of New Orleans, and was hard hit by Hurricane Gustav.

    Thanks so much for sending this to me; I will pass it on to other Lightworkers and my tourguide friends.

   Love and blessings,

   Amethyst

Hi Amythyst!   Do you know anything about this Tribe?  Thanks.  Love, Spirit --- On Sun, 9/7/08, Robert 'Standing Eagle' Marshall <[email protected]> wrote: From: Robert 'Standing Eagle' Marshall <[email protected]> Subject: IMPORTANT--PLEASE WHAT YOU CAN CONTRIBUTE (Fw: Houma Nation) To: [email protected] Date: Sunday, September 7, 2008, 4:47 PM This is a very important call for help and aide for the Houma Nation of Louisiana.   This tribe was inundated by hurricane Katrina and hardly received any help from FEMA (let alone the rest of the state). And now they have been hit again by hurricane Gustav. With hurricane Ike now in the making, FEMA, has yet to do anything for them.   Please click, or cut and paste, the link below and go to their site and read the list of the items that are desperately need--items that should have already been distributed by FEMA, that have not been distributed as yet!   And also pass this onto as many people as you can, because this is another scenario that if not for the common people there will be no action taken!!!   PLEASE TRY AND DO YOUR PART!
