Hi All I am Back! Have been very busy and still am. After reading the posts from some of you about the "Con" that is taking place from our want-a-be Lawyers. My recent experience is: we were sent a letter of hog wash that would highly qualify for political and legal double talk, it didn't say NO and didn't say YES although it leaned hard toward NO, so we took it as a letter of denial. So then we called Ed Meng and asked him about the letter, He said " just ignore it because he is still looking at our papers", I am going to ask him to put that in writing. The point here is that, they will put certain things in writing and then turn around and deny it over the phone, Well I have had this problem with lawyers in the past and starting today we are requesting every thing in writing. Then we are going to contact our Senators and request that they look into this double talk that we have been getting. We are hoping that every one that has gotten the same run-a-round will do the same, here are the numbers for our SD Senators (Remember they work for you). Sen. Tim Johnson Toll Free - 1-800-537-0025 Washington Office - 1-202-224-5842 Rapid City - 1-605-341-3990 Aberdeen - 1-605-226-3440 Sioux Falls - 1-605-332-8896 Sen. John Thune Toll Free - 1-866-850-3855 Rapid City - 1-605-348-7551 Aberdeen - 1-605-225-8823 Sioux Falls - 1-605-334-9596 >> We have gotten no specific reason why and what is worse they haven't even given us a point of interest to look at so we can help clear up the supposed road block that they in their minds have hit. I know that Carl said, that there is no conflict of interest, but it still makes me think that, all the Meng's that are now on the list will get much more money if our 100+ relatives don't get on the list??? DUH!! Keep in mind ! Elections are coming up and our Senators know it. So let us all together try to get this "NON-SENSE" straightened out. MAKE THOSE CALLS , and let's see what happens. OH YEA! You all are doing such good work on the new format "GREAT JOB" Wapate

Follow up: ARE THE WABASHA'S BEING BLACK LISTED? Our family connects to three names on the 1886 list, James Wabasha - our G-G Uncle Emma Anapadiwin - G-G-Grandmother Julia Smith - G-G Aunt We have historical and authored books along with maps, photos much more prof, But yet they are trying to deny us LD status. "ALL WABASHA'S" LET US KNOW YOUR STORY! Maybe we can share them with our senators. Wapate

The person that you would be directly descended from is your grandmother. your auntie and uncle would not count for you. You need to have birth certificates and/or baptismal certificates. from you up to the person you are directly descended from on the 1886 census. If you had an OLD bible with birth entries would help. our family has several books written and alot of documents that link us, we had to provide baptismal certificates from my dad, gramma, great gramma, g-g gramma etc. we also had original OLD bible entries. along with some other supporting documentation.

Thanks hyland I know of all this, been at it for a long time, here is our problem. First off I was informed today that on the last page of the original McLeod 1886 census, that on the last page Napoleon Wabasha was listed so Why? wasn't he on the census given to us by Buttes and Karrdal??? my line goes directly back to Chief Wapasha I (Sabache) my fourth Great Grandfather Chief Wapasha II (Necohundah) third G-Grandfather His son Thomas Wabasha (Wapate) G-G-Grandfather His son Stephen Wabasha/Blacksmith (Tatekahomni) G-Grandfather His son Joseph C Blacksmith Sr. Grandpa His son Joseph C Blacksmith Jr. My Dad As for Napoleon Wabasha he was the son of James Wabasha also on the McLeod list, and James was the brother to Thomas my G-G-Grandfather. The man that was the keystone to this family Chief Wapasha I (Sabache) was born circa 1718 near the head of the Rum River in central MN. My point is that how can they list one or two of a family and completely leave out the others even to the point of changing original documents?? I am told that this last page of the McLeod will be posted soon on this site and then we can all see the deception. Why can't we all just unite and help each other like it is done here on OYATE? Wapate

Hi Jamie I just got off the phone with the Kettering office and man is this a three ring circus complete with monkeys and midget clowns, they didn't even recognize the name that I gave them from the McLeod list, dah! I am why is James Wabasha on the McLeod list and not his brother my G-G-Grandfather Thomas Wabasha (Wapate) ?? family is family isn't it? The Bible says that in these last days that things will be "heyoka" "People will call evil, good and good, evil" FOR SURE - BACK WARDS! That aside, I just want to thank you and the gang for the great job you are doing with the new format, I feel if you keep this up the historical societies will be coming here to get records. Good Job!

Hey, can I get onto this other board that everyone is so frequently talking about? What is the website and pertinent information? I would love to see what they are saying and why the people on these posts are so concerned about what "they"say about things that happen here. thanks for your caring and response. keep the faith.

You people must realize that if you have a legitimate complaint against an attorney, and you do have alegitmate complaint, you have to file your grievance with the state and Bar assocition and the american Bar Association.You all have legitmate cause to take up a class action lawsuit against Kettering , Kaardal and Buttes fo rConflict of interest and Breach of Contract. it is as simple as that.

Hey! I did it! lol so there he is, my little bear. I must be missing him, but no worries, I will see him tomorrow and he will do something to balance it out! He is my boy that thinks he is a bear. A real bear. He told me a year ago or so, that "his people were animals" and that he used to be a bear. When he sees a picture of a bear cub, he is sure it is his baby picture! Okay now I want to see someone else's pic! lol

Well, the real deal has big birth control glasses and baggy bib overalls or sweatpants so that I can be comfortable at the computer. Red eyes, no make-up, and a "didnt have to do hair" pony tail.- so my hair doesnt obstruct the view of the computer or document! you didnt think I would put up a picture of that did you. This could quite possibly be the only picture I might ever let out there!
My 10 yr old takes great powwow pictures and here is one of them. Beautiful regalia huh?
