Anyone done a deep background dig on his family?
Working on it. It appears she has good reason to be pissed at George Bush.
Not all the normal BS democrat reasons, but a real reason.
She's a Chinook Indian. Ambassador Stevens is 1/16th Chinook.
An excerpt from the source:
"Like many tribes across North America, the Chinook people lost their lands to white encroachment in the 19th and 20th centuries.
By the 1950’s the Chinook Nation dissolved under federal termination policies designed to assimilate Native Peoples into white society.
In 2001, the U.S. Department of the Interior initially granted the tribe federal recognition. Yet, it’s unclear why this status was overturned under George W. Bush’s administration in 2002.
Since then, Gardner and other tribal leaders have been engaged in regaining their formal recognition as a sovereign tribal government—a status that would open the doors to a host of federal Indian entitlement programs linked to trust lands, low to no-cost healthcare, education benefits, housing assistance, and gaming opportunities.
In an editorial published in Ilwaco’s local newspaper, the Chinook Observer, it described the tribe’s federal government wrangling as “unjust” and brought similar comparison to Stevens’ untimely death. “The innocent suffer while the guilty often go free,” the editorial read. “Will it be any different this time?”
