11 <br /> Selectman Green: process, which is not a problem, I think I can speak for most of the <br /> Tribal members, going through the process is, every twenty-five <br /> years, there is nothing the process can do to us. We are not <br /> worried about not being even federally recognized. It's not a big <br /> deal. The issue was if federal recognition was to happen that the <br /> community have a say in what happens here. When it goes to the <br /> BIA, we will be discussing with the federal government, what we <br /> are going to do. And it won't be the Tribe, and there is no suit. <br /> This keeps coming up. There is no suit. There is no suit now at <br /> all. If the federal recognition process does get voted,that is go ing <br /> to come in, they are going to rule it, they are going to play down to <br /> it, there's always a way out...there's a way... there's a way to <br /> bring people together. That was my reason for going forward. I <br /> don't see that that situation exists. I am sorry. I really feel bad <br /> that we couldn't get it done, but that is where it is now. <br /> Selectman Taylor: Well, its funny how things come home because I think all of these <br /> members of this Board thought we were on the right track. We <br /> were going to try to do the things that had not been accomplished <br /> before. And when I first sat down with Glenn and spoke to him <br /> about certain issues, I left my mind open and there were people in <br /> this room that tried to speak to me and I didn't return calls because <br /> I felt like it was, I had to do it with an open mind. I had to hear for <br /> myself what was going on and research it myself. But, I will tell <br /> you, in this past, month,two months, the pressure has been so <br /> much on me and consequently on my family that I can't continue <br /> at this pace. This is a job that is way too big for us as a part-time <br /> board. I feel real bad as Chuck said. I think both of us have the <br /> same intent on trying to bring the community together. And, I <br /> think at this time, the climate isn't there, the commitment or the <br /> time for the Board to put into it isn't there. I would like to wish <br /> Glenn well. I can't continue to go forward at this time. <br />
