• Seneca Nation President Calls On President Obama to Defend Native American Sovereign Rights with Veto of Pact Act Legislation ; Seneca President Barry E. Snyder Warns Ban On U.S. Mail Distribution of Native American Tobacco Products Will Result in Severe Economic Hardship

CATTARAUGUS TERRITORY, N.Y., March 18 /PRNewswire/ -- Seneca Nation President Barry E. Snyder Sr. today sent a letter to President Barack Obama calling for his veto of the PACT (Prevent All Cigarette Trafficking) Act. In urging the veto, Snyder said the measure "flies in the face" of key Obama administration goals to improve health care, create jobs and respect tribal sovereignty. If signed into law, the PACT Act will seriously impact the Seneca Nation and the Seneca people. We will be subject to racial profiling for the simple act of mailing a package. We will lose thousands of jobs and important health care support. And most damaging, we will be set back in our journey to self-determination by the very treaty partner that pledged to support and protect us," Snyder wrote.

• New Yorkers Overwhelmingly Support Federal Indian Treaties Which Block State Taxation of Native American Tobacco Products ; Survey Finds 69% of New York Voters Want State to Honor Sovereign Treaty Rights; Poll Also Notes Highly-Favorable Views of Native American Nations and Businesses

CATTARAUGUS TERRITORY, Seneca Nation, Aug. 26 /PRNewswire/ -- New York voters strongly support Indian treaties which prevent taxation of Native American-sold goods, according to a new Zogby International poll conducted on behalf of the Seneca Nation of Indians. The poll, conducted the week of August 23, 2010, found 68.4 percent of those surveyed think state and federal governments should honor Indian treaties - specifically the Treaty of 1842 - which bars state taxation of Seneca businesses. Once again the people of New York State have voiced their support of our rights as a sovereign nation. This is especially heart-warming for all Haudenosaunee Nations as the state is poised to enforce its illegal sales tax scheme on September 1," said Seneca Nation of Indians President Barry E. Snyd...

• Arizona Irc Eyes Moves for Greenlee, Mohave

Some white voters who are hoping to be moved out of a predominantly Native American legislative district may get their wish under changes being considered by the Arizona Independent Redistricting Commission, but not everyone is getting what they want. The IRC today asked its mapping consultant to crunch the numbers on proposed changes that would move Greenlee County and northern Mohave County out of Legislative District 7, a sprawling northern Arizona-based district that takes in many of the state's Native American tribes. The district is designed to elect Native American candidates and was drawn to comply with the federal Voting Rights Act.
