Has Fiorina thrown this at her? The Hill isn’t a conservative publication, either, that I recall.

Rush needs to read this story on air today. Unbelievable that these multi-millionaires will still fabricate scams like this to defraud us tax drones of money our families could really use.

Boxer and her rotten son should be arrested for this, as well as the UCLA professor who cooked up his phony Indian credentials that made this scam possible. We are sick and tired of being robbed by Democrats while they give away our money to buy the votes of the perpetually dependent.

...Mishewal Wapp...

Although as I keep looking around, there could be any of 2 or 3 others that apparently had some historic connection to the area. Frankly, I suppose it doesn't matter: the Boxers only needed one to finagle a deal.

Greg Sarris is apparently the tribal chairman of the "Federal Indians Of Graton Ranchiera" - the group is named after the property on which the casino is located. They claim to be the descendants of bands of both Coastal Miwoks and Kashia Pomos.

Sarris' biological father was purportedly Emilio Hilario. Hilario's mother was the daughter of a Tom Smith, who claimed to be part Miwok.

So Greg Sarris' biological father may or may not have been one-eighth Coastal Miwok.

And one-eighth is a stretch, since there were only 1500 Coastal Miwoks in 1770 and there likely have been no full-blooded Coastal Miwoks since the 1840s.

If Sarris is right about the identity of his biological father, chances are that he is one sixty-fourth Miwok or less.

“Boxer and her rotten son should be arrested for this”

AGREED!!!! And they should be barred from using phony opaque names on their “corporations”, so we can easily trace the miscreants, e.g. “Doug Boxer and Co.”

“Unbelievable that these multi-millionaires will still fabricate scams like this to defraud us tax drones of money our families could really use.”

To paraphrase what the Indians said about gold during the Gold Rush,

“The green paper that drives white woman crazy”/s;)

Barbara Boxer:
Democrat
Senior Democrat Senator
Senate Ethics Committee Chairwoman
Too big & powerful to fail

Move on there is nothing to see here.
Corruption is also a type of ethics

You just have no idea how difficult it is to re-establish an Indian tribe if you believe this tale. No doubt Boxer had corrupt motives, but there are many quite honest people at work today to re-establish their tribal links and bring back to life just a handful of the hundreds of tribes-nations that once existed in America.

As usual there are white people like Boxer quite willing to lie, cheat, steal and abuse Indians to serve a momentary cash gain.
