I'm experiencing injustice at the hands of three courts involving simple custody issues where government intervention is not warranted, invited or necessary. Our Tribal social services refused to get involved at the counties request, based on the fact that intervention wasn't deemed necessary. Eventually, the county admitted to having initiated a case "improvidently." Nevertheless, it violated a Congressional Act. Namely, the National Indian Rights Protection Act. Investigations have been made by agencies and authorities based on malicious, slanderous, and prejudicial comments exaggerrated to gain an advantageous position against the custodial parent in proceedings where the presiding judge wouldn't agree to further amendments to visitation arrangements; prompting desperation and haste from the other parent. Whom through application of different venues (i.e. county to state-to a differing state) attempted to "backdoor" me. Which led to false allegations of threats, further proceedings, biased rulings. Do courts effectually make orders only to propagate their own interests?.. is every one in the "Justice" system interested in adopting this crisis mentality?, with court appointed advocates, falsely incarcerating people on bogus charges, requiring attendance in remedial elementary weak , beggardly parenting classes ,culturally insensitive, emotionally taxing , economically demeaning. it goes on and on. At present I have no money for representation. Our tribe has no legal dept. and I actually have no one to turn to for assistance with motions in court to remedy this situation. I continue with limited support from our community and family . As many people roll over to appease, alieve the circumstances the legal community brings upon them lengthy continuations, dragging their feet in almost every situation , hurting the people they claim to be trying to help our children! Really they need to step out of the picture and leave us alone. Indigenous people’s Civil Rights are being violated every day.
