By

The
California Democratic Convention this week will consider a resolution calling
for reform in the provisions of the Indian Civil rights Act of 1968 to protect
tribal members from civil rights violations by their own tribes.
When it convenes in San Diego on April 27-29,
the Democratic Convention will consider the California Native American Justice and Equal
Economic Opportunity Legislative Initiative, said Robert Edwards, chairman of
the Indians of Enterprise No. 1.
"For those of us who have been disenrolled, terminated or issued
moratoriums, this is the first time we are not on the sidelines
picketing," Edwards said. "We will be inside the building. Basically,
we are asking the government to enforce the Indian civil Rights Act."
