To All:
Unfortunately we have had attempted coup by Mr. Perry Chesnut and a couple of our Legislative members. Mr. Chesnut's citizenship was revoked by our citizenship committee when allegations were brought up about Mr. Chesnut's proof of Modoc Adoption. As it turned out he has none, his only evidence was a letter written by himself. He was never adopted by the Klamath Tribe, ever.
So he has presented himself as an adopted Modoc Indian and set himself up as a leader wanting freedom from the Klamath's. This seems to be a reoccurring theme for Mr. Chesnut.
The two members who have sided with him are currently being removed from office pending a hearing, Mr. Donald Detroit and Mr. Kelly Hawkins.
If they continue to repeatedly break the constitution and refuse to answer to any of our Elders recommendations, we will be forced to have a General Council hearing to remove them from our Nation.
This is indeed a sad time, when a white man can come among us and fool so many people. We are trying to come together as a people but it seems there are many who will deceive and lie to present their own agenda.
It is not about money it is about family and identity, about belonging.
We will continue and we will grow and thrive.
Our Brothers and Sisters in the Klamath Tribes that are Modoc are just that. We hope someday they will see we are not their enemy but their family who have been mistreated and cast away.
Blessings to all of you!
