Pt 2
The warrant was also illegal because it was served on a minor child, Chief Walking Bear's 15 year old son Thomas Leon Wilson.
Timing of the warrant was also interesting... 5 days after President William Clinton left office, and while Senator John Ashcroft's confirmation as Attorney General is being held up in the Senate. Senator Ashcroft has publicly defended Chief Walking Bear's Indian Citizenship in public and was the Senator in the area in which Chief Walking Bear resides.
While there may or may not have been a valid warrant for the firearms, there appears to be an illegal corruption of blood activity here. Such is that the crimes of the father are passed to the spouse and children. This is in direct conflict with the Constitution for the United States and the
Constitution of the State of Missouri. While Chief was convicted of a Felony (if the Court had jurisdiction, which was certainly arguable) and
because did complete his "Dues to Society" by 1993, he was eligible for reinstatement of his rights but because the Parole Board promised in writing to supply him with a form only they could supply, they are to blame for Chief's loss of those civil rights... and for failure to request such prior to 1999.
Representatives and Senators please take note of this unconscionable situation that was created by the United States Congress.
The problem is that of restoring the civil right to bear arms. At the present time, Chief Walking Bear can [never] regain his civil right to bear arms
within the jurisdiction of the United States or State of Missouri because of the NICS index. His natural right to bear arms, as set down by the Founding Father's has been violated and is intact. Inclusion in the NICS criminal database is a permanent unrevokable status that cannot even be overturned by court activity or Presidential Pardon. Because of this, the corruption of blood is the issue we focus on, and the Human Rights and Hate Crimes that were committed.
CORRUPTION OF BLOOD
Chief Walking Bear's wife is a Veteran (disabled and Vetaran's Administration compensated). To deny her and her children of possession of a
firearm is an activity of corruption of blood. If the firearms were registered to her or any eligible children, and the the possession of them is held
by the Wife and Children, not the Chief. If the firearms were not registered, then they still belong to the Wife and Children, not the Chief. The burden is upon the US Government to prove that the firearms were in the possession of the Chief as his firearms. Else, it becomes an issue of corruption of blood.
Chief Walking Bear was not charged for a crime, so why the seizure? Perhaps they wanted the deed to the Tribal Property, because it was indeed stolen - taken without authority -- by the federal "agents sent forth to harass" Chief Walking Bear....
"BUREAU OF ALCOHOL, TOBACCO, AND FIREARMS" -- OR "BUREAU OF TAXES AND LAND DEEDS"?
The warrant clearly stated that the focus of the search was for firearms. There was no mention in the warrant for the seizure of either tax records
or Land Deeds, only "documents relating to the residency and occupancy." U.S. Mail would have proved it was Walking Bear's residence. The
BATF secured the warrant, their limits on jurisdiction is that of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms, not TAXES or LAND DEEDS. The seizure of these documents clearly demonstrates an unreasonable (illegal) search and seizure. This was done under the color of Law which is in itself a criminal activity. This also suggests that it was a Hate Crime in that it was utilized to intimidate an identifiable and [KNOWN] ethnic minority.
Further, the activity of exposing the children to potential harm by depriving them of coats or blankets and placing them outside in the cold is an
act of child endangerment which further supports the Hate Crimes issue.
It becomes obvious that the tax records and Land Deeds did not either constitute a weapon or firearm. The seizure of these documents is also to
be considered as a Hate Crime as the activity was used to intimidate an "ethnic minority." The desecration of the medicine bundle and other
religious regalia is in clear violation of the separation of Church and State and is to be considered a violation of the First Amendment to the Constitution and a Hate Crime. The sacred pipe is a religious artifact which is known historically to be such and any desecration of the Pipe is based upon a disregard for the sacred of other's religion. This is a Hate Crime.

HATE CRIMES AND CULTURAL GENOCIDE COMMITTED BY THE US FEDERAL GOVERNMENT
As the Chief is of a Tribe which is known in the area as existing as a Separate Sovereign, and a land base is listed in the official county records as
belonging to the Tribe, AMONSOQUATH. The activities of entry into the Tribal lands without presenting a separate warrant to the Tribal
Council further constitutes a Hate Crime in that it discounts and negates the legitimacy of the Tribe and the rights of the people of the tribe. In a
public meeting in Rolla, Missouri, Senator John Ashcroft has identified the AMONSOQUATH as being an Indian Tribe, and a separate sovereign. Since it is known at the US Senatorial level that the Tribe exists as a separate Sovereign, it becomes further clear that the activities of the BATF were such as to intimidate not only the AMONSOQUATH Tribe, but other non federal tribes into fearing that their lands and possessions could be taken without either due process or without the protections of the Constitution. This constitutes a Hate Crime equal in stature to the activities of genocide and internment inflicted upon the Jews by the Nazis. While no deaths have been attributed to the BATF
actions, there is a consorted and systematic intent to commit Cultural Genocide....
CULTURAL GENOCIDE, CHILD ABUSE AND ENDANGERMENT
The activities of the BATF as Hate Crimes, Human Right Violations, Civil and Constitutional rights violations, and an attempt to commit an act of
Cultural Genocide. The BATF must return the tax and land documents as they were clearly not listed as items to be seized, and were not in any manner, shape or form resembling a firearm. I suggest that the BATF participants be charged individually and severally with child endangerment for forcing the children (aged 2 years to 14 years) into the cold without benefit of either blankets or coats. This is clearly an act of child abuse and endangerment....
A GUILTY MAN?
Chief Walking Bear is certainly guilty... and has always been guilty of helping anyone who came to him for help. Just ask anybody who knows
him. When he lived in Southwest Missouri, the Missouri Division of Family Services (DFS) was always ready to send people to his junkyard for
things families may have needed after a house fire (to save money from the state's budget?), but were quick to condemn him for his lifestyle
because he lived in a junkyard, which was a business he operated. One DFS report stated the "Mr. Wilson's house is is nothing more than a
hovel in the middle of a junkyard. That "hovel" was a 2000 square foot home he built for himself, and it seemed to DFS his only sin was not plumbing heat to the warmest room in the house before the children insisted in sleeping in it that first night. It was newly-completed 4th bedroom that his children had only slept in for only one night because it was the warmest room in the house and the children were comfortable in sleeping in it. DFS showed up the next day to harass Chief Wilson and his wife Billie, on the pretext they had received a "tip," perhaps from someone he had tried to help when they were down and out. And so it is in Missouri for generous Indians....
The Amonsoquath obtained a Spanish Land Grant in 1793, and our lands served as a buffer between the Spanish garrison at Ponce De Leon (still
on the maps south of Springfield, Missouri) and the French military garrison in Saint Louis. One of the Missouri law-enforcement officers sent to
observe the federal raid commented to Walking Bear that he remembered Attorney General Nixon's statement, but that "the tribe did indeed have
a deed to 35 acres..." UNTIL THE A.T.F. SEIZED THE DEED TO THE 35 ACRE TRIBAL PROPERTY ILLEGALLY! That acreage has over 300
burials on it, many with pictographs. The officer asked to see and saw many of the graves, and did say, "Those are graves!" Another officer,
perhaps in a position to know who signed the affidavits against Walking Bear, stated that the raid was "not about guns," but that it was "About
your beliefs." The Amonsoquath do not understand this, for they have been worshipping a deity named "Ya-ho-we" for 6012 years. "Ya-ho-we"
is too close to "Ya-ho-vah" or "Jehovah" to be any other deity than the Creator that Christians worship also....

Pt 4 (jeez, these people never shut up)
WAR IS RENEWED IN PRESENT DAY
A mistake was discovered in the case of Darrell Williams, and his guns were returned by the ATF with apologies, after the illegal seizure, which is
just like apologizing to another motorist after he collides with your car, and is clearly at fault. Williams had voluntarily told the Highway Patrol of
the presence of legally registered weapons in car, and when the cops checked him out, a radio dispatcher had misinterpreted a computer printout,
and an old misdemeanor was reported over the radio as a felony, which Williams had supposedly committed while sitting in the back of a parked
car which -- unbeknownst to him -- was a stolen car, the day he turned 18, about 35 years ago.
The ATF had arrived at 12:01 PM Wednesday, January 24, with a phalanx of about 20 Missouri Conservation Police, Missouri Water Patrol,
Missouri Highway Patrol, and Carter County Sheriff Greg Melton and several of his deputies including a Belgian Shepherd Canine Officer. Many of the Highway patrol officers had been to the tribe's sovereign domain in Eastwood, near Van Buren, Missouri before, in the wake of the attempted takeover of the tribal government about 12-18 months ago. After the tribe negotiated a contact which would have made the tribe self-sufficient in the bulk water business, the vice-chief (an appointed revocable position) Cathy "Shadow Walker" Jones, and her live-in companion Leonard Heith apparently saw an opportunity to line their pockets with the up-to 2 million dollars a year that the tribe would have accrued in the business venture, instead of what the money was intended for, to provide financial security for the tribe. 20% of the money was to be for the Chief's family, because it was on his land, and 80% was to be donated for job development, housing, business ventures, and development of local infrastructure in Eastwood, including water mains and a fire truck, which the community lacks.

Pt 5
Leonard Heith, who lives with Cathy Jones, 2.5 miles northwest of Thayer, Missouri, is a Yankton Indian from Marty, SD, with an outstanding
federal warrant that the FBI refuses to serve in spite of their knowing his whereabouts for over a year and one-half. Sheriff Ray Westerhoff of
Lake Andies County, S.D. confirmed theoutstanding federal warrant in late 1999, but Special Agent Matt Miller of the FBI refused to return telephone calls concerning Heith, who is staill at large.
Cathy Jones is a red-headed white woman who claims to be Cherokee, but was found to have falsified genealogical documents to gain entry in
the tribe. Jones was expelled from the tribe on the wake of the takeover attempt last year. It has since been discovered that Jones had committed
similar acts in 5 different Indian Councils in the midwest in the last few years and continues to do so all over Missouri and Arkansas. Walking Bear, an ordained minister, asks "Who has tried to stir the local community into a veritable frenzy against the chief and his family with the aid of Monty Balthrope and two other expelled members? This has been ongoing since 1999. There have been threats made against the chief and his family from this same group of people. The tribe was advised through unnamed sources that the hopes of these people were to turn the raid into another Wounded Knee incident. We as the first people are still being denied our rights to worship our God, the Creator of all things, and to teach our children the ways of our culture. The local area churches still condemn us for our beliefs in the one and only Creator. "
Separate men's and women's "O'si" or purification ceremonies were conducted the saturday following the raid, and the Chief made it clear that he had no mailice towards anyone, and requested prayers for all concerned including those who wronged us, but also said he did not intend to be forced from his ancestral home for any reason. During the height of the tribal council takeover attempt in late 1999 and early 2000, a heavily armed faction led by Cathy Jones attended a December 1999 tribal council meeting at the tribe's property (an outdoor church) in violation of Missouri laws forbidding carrying of guns into a church or to a public meeting. Local law enforcement officials, including one man who made a recent bid for County Sheriff, had been spouting all over Carter County, Missouri for over a year that the tribal property was to be raided.
Turns out the rumors about the property were generated not by Chief Walking Bear's presence, but by that of Monty Balthrope, the former owner, and a well known white supremacist, who always wore a 45 automatic pistol in public, and who was recently convicted of making terroristic threats.
SOMEBODY WAS GONNA GET SHOT?
It was clear to the tribe that any excuse would do to shoot somebody. The ATF Wanted to know if the Tribal office was unlocked, and Walking Bear's wife said she would furnish the key. The ATF hustled over to the office, and when Chief's son ran over to the office with the key, he has nearly shot by paranoid ATF officers, and was saved by a shout from another direction by his father, which diffused the situation. Scott Anderson was sick in bed, and his wife Betty was told by an out-of-control ATF officer to "Get him out of there, or we will have to shoot him if he comes out and surprises us," as if surprise was an excuse to use deadly force. Clearly, the ATF was there to intimidate. Anderson, who had been recovering from chills, fever, and diahrrea, was forced to sit outside in the wind, but was allowed his jacket. In spite of that he shivered
uncontrollably for quite a while until his legal residence was searched illegally. After two hours of searching and at the insistence of the County
Sheriff Greg Melton, the scantily clad children were allowed to take refuge in the Anderson's home. A DFS supervisor took that opportunity, and
commented "I see you have toilet paper in the house" as if most people in the world don't, when she was fishing for information on the Anderson's living arrangements.
UNREPENTANT SINNER?
Chief Walking Bear is the 60 year-old Werowance, or Chief and a successor to Powhatan, father of Metoaka or Pocahontas. He was elected as Chief for life by the body politic of the tribe in 1994, deposable only by an act of the Tripartite Tribal Council, and only for criminal acts against his own people. Ever since Walking Bear began asserting the tribe's land claims to 2/5ths of Missouri and 1/5th of Arkansas from a 1793 Spanish Land grant enforceable by the Treaty of the Louisiana purchase of 1803, and to much of Virginia and Washington, DC, he and his family has been constantly harassed by local, state, and federal law enforcement officers. Chief Walking Bear, who had been a police officer in Nixa, Missouri, had made the mistake of telling the local county sheriff of a large impending drug deal, which unbeknownst to him involved County officials later convicted of drug dealing. These same officials, though convicted as drug dealers with convictions being appealed, still hold their positions because they could afford their own lawyers.

LEGAL FUND AND ASSISTANCE REQUESTED
Ex post facto" (after the fact) laws, are clearly forbidden under the US Constitution. Chief Wilson requests that legal counsel come forward, and
request a legal fund be set up for him to help fight all of the continuing attacks against him and his Tribe. Walking Bear and his wife and four children live on about $800 dollars a month.
CHILD ABUSE: First act of the Federal Government
Just like in the case of Elian Gonzales, the first act of the ATF was child abuse against Chief Walking Bear's minor children, ages 2, 5, and 15, who were not allowed to have their coats as they were hustled out of their home into the care of one of the women of the tribe, and were made to stand outside on a cold windy day for over two hours as a cursory search was conducted of the property. The real here hero was Carter County Sheriff Greg Melton, who had to insist that ATF agents allow Chief's 2 year-old daughter be allowed to wear shoes on her bare feet, and his 5 year old son be allowed his own jacket, and his 15 year old son, home sick from school, be allowed to take refuge in another home on the property.
UNPROFESSIONAL ACTS AND A CLUMSILY SEARCH BY THE ATF
Even though all persons were accounted for on the property, machine guns were brandished by ATF agents. A door was kicked in on the tribe's mobile home office, even though Chief Walking Bear's wife said the key would be furnished. It was indeed a sight to see ATF agents exhibiting "manhood issues" as they broke into an unoccupied building shouting "POLICE! The "Agents" should be disciplined for turning their weapons on a 15 year old boy as dozens of other armed police looked on -- a boy already determined to be unarmed -- as he ran to give them the key to a building that, unknown to the boy, they had already kicked down the door of. Even though the Federal Magistrate ordered that all buildings and outbuildings were to be searched, only Chief Walking Bear 's home and a few other large buildings were searched thoroughly. The ATF got what they came for and a lot more... they illegally seized the property of his wife, and his eldest son, who was able to own a firearm under state law because he had a hunters' safety certification card. Chief Walking Bear 's wife also noticed diamond jewelry missing from her jewelry box.
RELIGIOUS ITEMS DESECRATED BY US GOVERNMENT IN VIOLATION OF UN TREATY - HATE CRIMES COMMITTED
Chief Walking Bear's sacred pipe and other sacred items were desecrated and tossed on the floor, and the entire house was trashed. Even a bubble pack of 3 toothbrushes, contents clearly visible, was torn open and thrown all over the room. After the house was trashed, Missouri Division of Family Services was called in, and the 4 children were seized, as they declared the house unsafe because of the mess, but according to the warrant, the ATF has custody of the minor children for the 24 hour period that the warrant was to be served, between 6 am and 10 pm, and the ATF were clearly guilty of child abuse in the situation.
Missouri Division of Family Services has also been harassing the tribe since an anonymous tip was called in early last year suggesting that acts of sexual abuse were being committed by tribal members against the Chief's seven year old daughter, an allegation later refuted by a doctor's
examination. Persons in the community friendly to the tribe have stated they have heard DFS officials prejudice themselves, in an unprofessional
manner, against Native Americans. Real abuse of authority is being committed by DFS officials, who have unwisely let their disdain for Native
Americans be known to witnesses willing to testify in court, opening themselves to lawsuits under the Native American Religious Freedom Act
of 1990. ATF and the United States of America are now open to lawsuits under the Native American Religious Freedom Act of 1990. and clearly
prosecutable for human rights violations and hate crimes under United Nations Law.
WE CALL UPON PERSONS OF GOOD CONSCIENCE EVERYWHERE TO SIGN A PETITION DECRYING THESE HEINOUS ACTS -- TO BE DELIVERED TO TO THE SECRETARY GENERAL OF THE UNITED NATIONS, GEORGE W. BUSH, PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED
STATES, HRM QUEEN ELIZABETH II OF GREAT BRITAIN....
