How do you know ? may I ask... or ar you just repeating "facts"that you have heard?
I think Russell Means would have had something to say about the "two tribe" as you call it, situation being just spin.... but then I am sure you know already all about that.
Until there is further clarification you are as in the dark a anyone else ........... admit it!
I've enumerated the 7 facts I'm claiming below.
Which do you dispute?
If none, then you must agree that the claim that MazaCoin is working with a different Ogala govenment than that recognised by the government is false?
[1] The MazaCoin site (
http://www.mazacoin.org/) has a link to the Traditional Lakota Nation (
http://www.oglalalakotanation.org/oln/Home.html).
Go to that webpage, click Government, click Executive Committee.
[2]You will see that the President is Bryan Brewer,
[3]the same one who has publicly said that the tribe has not adopted MazaCoin as an official currency.
Go to the South Dakota Department of Tribal Relations page for the Ogala:
http://www.sdtribalrelations.com/oglala.aspx[4]Scroll down to Current President. You will see that is it Bryan Brewer.
[5]Check the 'View the Oglala Sioux Tribe's website' link. You will see it takes you to the same ogalalakotanation.org page.
[6]The entity that MazaCoin say that they are working with is the same entity listed on the government web page as being the tribal government, and
[7]that entity has denied adopting MazaCoin as an official currency.
