Didn’t they just announce yesterday that they took Hoopa’s law enforcement rights away & Humboldt sheriff would step up? Now they’re getting 1.2m for law enforcement… Does that mean they’re getting their rights back?

Where is all this money coming from & why can’t we afford for a sheriff officer to be on duty after 8 in SoHum but there’s all this money floating around.

Like they need the money. Can you say casinos, or perhaps are there just a few making bank off the backs of other natives.
