00:00It was put in front of all the natives that everyone would benefit from Indian gaming.

00:07It hasn't turned out that way.

00:17What is tribal disenrollment?

00:19Disenrollment is the elimination of an indigenous person's citizenship in their tribe.

00:25Why would anyone be disenrolled?

00:28Oh, casino money.

00:30Casinos play the biggest role in disenrollment.

00:34The accumulation of extreme wealth is what's driving the disenrollment.

00:39If we are a tribe of 1,000 and the number of members is reduced in half to 500, the remaining 500 tribal members just doubled their income.

00:47It's over money.

00:51You're taking out every single generation.

00:54They disenroll your ancestor and everyone who comes behind them in the lineal descent is gone.

01:21It needs to change.

01:22We'll be extinct if we keep that.

01:24We need the people to stand up and fight.

01:27A little takeover of the tribal office.

01:29Is it true that you hired a militia to storm a casino?

01:34Armed men stormed into a casino for a takeover.

01:39Why are we doing this to each other?

01:45I expect bloodshed.

01:50Protests have turned violent.

01:51We're going to continue fighting until we get back into our tribe.

02:01They tried through war, through disease, through starvation, through boarding schools.

02:05And now, what's the newest issue?

02:07Enrollment.

02:07I am disenrolled.

02:09By disenrolling, they're saying you're no Indian.
