It's all good nmelk13. I agree there is still alot of Tribes that don't do much for their people. This designation of Mt. Taylor as a TCP has created a lot of animosity towards the natives. In fact, in the Grants/Milan area, authorities have arrested an individual for beating on natives because...

There are some valid points if so. The argument is always that Tribes are always looking for handouts and want everyone else to pay for the atrocities of the past. That is not the case. Tribes follow the rules that have been laid out to run the casinos, schools, hospitals, etc. There may be some...

HAHAHA...ok...if that's what's happening...sure..show me the facts of such statements. When that is shown to me, we shall commence to have an intellectual conversation. How any of these statements have anything to do with an education foundation wanting to raise money for scholarships is beyond...

There were a lot of injustices that were committed years and eons ago. We all can state that fact. No one is paying for them although there have been treaties/documents signed committing to the facts. That is not the point going on here. There is a mention of joining society which believe it or...

I agree taxes aren't paid by everyone and aren't distributed fairly. My point exactly. Why do you think that the education foundation is trying to raise the money for more scholarships. The casinos have nothing to do with this topic. Unfortunately, that's the easy way out for those that think...

Yes we can call it what we want. Welfare...handout...we are all entitled to our opinions. That's what makes this country so great. So all those scholarships out there for all to use are all handouts/welfare. Taxes are paid by all to include scholarships, road projects, infrastructure, etc. We as...

It's a good cause because the money that is raised is used for scholarships that Laguna Tribal students can access to pursue their education at the college level. Droptine

LAST EDITED ON Jun-25-09 AT 10:10AM (MST)[p]You can have a tag for the reservation as well as a state tag. Here in Laguna we do have our own department of natural resources so therefore, our big game seasons and tag numbers are set seperately from the state. I myself hunt both the state and...

There are some nice bulls in the area that the hunt is going to take place. Alot of elk in that area. I've seen a couple non-typicals and some nice typicals. I would estimate the bulls to average in the 330-340 range but I know of a few that have hit the 350-360 range. Nice area to hunt being...

It's been awhile since I've been able to check out the forums here on MM. Looks like I've missed quite a bit but then again, it looks like I haven't missed a thing. If that makes any sense to anyone. Just want to say hello to all the new people on the site and a hello to all those that have been...

Congratulations to the young man. His 1st bull is bigger than my 1st and only bull. I don't want to take anything away from the young man and his dad, but this was not a DIY hunt. He was guided into a nice little hidey hole on public land. There was a guide doing the calling. There were trespass...

Last Update: 02/20/2007 4:32:08 PM By: Associated Press SANTA FE (AP) - The Senate on Tuesday endorsed a Department of Game and Fish proposal to auction off two pricey hunts each year. Each of the two hunting packages would allow the winner of the auction to kill a deer, an elk, an oryx, an...
