Why would someone throw this little tid bit in?

Got better things to do than play game's with people,if you have a problem spit it out then get a lawyer.

I see where Lightfoot is a surname of some Anishinabe people ...

Ray Lightfoot who was born on the Red lLake Reservation has worked for the bureau  for more than 30 years ..............

Quote
Within a year of the occupation of the area office by miltants , Lightfoot was promoted to area director. For the first time an Oshki Anishinabe was in charge of programs in 4 states........

I guess other people may have other questions , but my response to Zoi was just because  I don't think stopping frauds and exploiters can be done if people are afraid to ask questions. If people are who they say they are , I don't see why people asking questions and having doubts about someone they don't know, needs to be a cause for getting offended.

There's several Lightfoot in Ontario also, and they sure not Cherokee.  And then you have Gordon.

Winona LaDuke also belongs to the Mississippi Band if I remember correctly. Zoi is a cousin of Leonard Peltier and has been active in his cause for a long time.

Tansi;

Could some of the confusion come from the Anishnabe people having been known as Ojibwe or Chippewa?
