Between Facebook, this blog and emails, it is very apparent that the Sault Tribe has been let down by the non-native jury. We have given so much to Sault Ste. Marie only to be slapped in the face in return when the jury saved the rich boys and let the rest of us sink.
On the bright side, this has been a great motivator. If we had won, we might have cheered and waited for another six years to get the first dollar back.
We didn't win. Instead, we have thousands of Sault Tribe members in an uproar. Plans to circulate petitions to remove Bouschor, Pine and also McCoy have been echoing across the internet and phone lines. The idea to parade down Ashmun Street in protest is being tossed around.
I think we need a date and a meeting place set ASAP. Any suggestions to get the ball rolling are welcome. We don't need the Bouschor family tribal courts or the Sault courts to determine our fate. We are sovereign and we determine how our tribe is run and who oversees our judicial system. We decide what our constitution says...not the criminals it protects now.
No more separation between tribal members...it's us against them.

Racist comments are not welcome on this site and this will be the one and only racist comment that will be allowed. It is an example of the prejudice that decided this case.
what where tribal members burning up the internet about on the nigt of 20 october about?
OK,
So I am native and followed this case as close if not closer than anybody. I am a huge supporter of you Lynne, but all the race talk needs to stop. You say its a non- native jury that decided this, and then in your response to Red Herring you attack his/her extremely racist statement with one of your own. Assuming that because the verdict was not the way you or I wanted it means that they are prejudice makes it seem you are stooping to their level. Red Herring is an idiot, please dont hurt your reputation by joining in on racist comments, it does work both ways.
