Tribal Council Members Visits Alaska

     TEMOAK TRIBE - KDGL Radio has the news story "Shoshone Leaders Meet Alaskan Native Leaders To Talk About Open Pit Mining" in which Te-Moak Tribal Council member Larson Bill discusses how the mines use money to divide the Tribe.  Bill uses the example that the mines "had one Band sign a paper that said go ahead and mine, and (the mines) took it like everybody said okay."  He states that these tactics pit families against each other.
