On Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations peddling on reservation

If 2023 Colville Business Council (CBC) candidates know, let alone understand, what organized racketeering is, can they attack its head, the colonized CBC, on the Colville Indian Reservation (CIR)?

“Part of the Organized Crime Control Act of 1970, the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act (RICO) makes it unlawful to acquire, operate, or receive income from an enterprise through a pattern of racketeering activity. Geared toward ongoing organized criminal activities, the underlying tenet of RICO is to prove and prohibit a pattern of crimes conducted through an “enterprise,” which the statute defines as “any individual, partnership, corporation, association, or other legal entity, and any union or group of individuals associated in fact although not a legal entity” (Written by Stephen Schneider, Fact-checked by the Editors of Encyclopedia Britannica, Last Updated: Feb 15, 2023).

On Turtle Island (aka “America”), by 1938, nearly all Hereditary and Traditional Indian governance was wiped out by “modern tribal governments” via (Congressional, 1934 Indian Reorganization Act); White-Man-written-forced constitutions void of “balances of powers.”

CBC is not “checked” because it practices legislative, executive, and judicial impunity against its own tribal members, violating fiduciary-trust duties by attacking its own Law and Order Code at Chapters 1-5 Colville Tribal Civil Rights Act; 1-5-2(h)(i)((j); 1-5-8, and Chapter 10, as examples.

Tribal Member recourse is crushed by a colonized CBC, Office of Reservation Attorney, Executive Direction, Tribal Court and Appellate Court practices, which, rather than righting wrongs, protect and defend the wrongs and the racket that sustains such.
