The Governor had to fight his way into the place because he does very few public events with so many people. Several Elders said there were a lot of people there, but few that they knew.
Well sah…it was a Cape wide event. What do you expect? We told ya….Tribal members stayed away and the fringe members who have become paid actors to drum and play Indian for the newspaper did their thing. Some of them are not even Indian. More on that later.
Forrestdale Post Master Bob Maxim was there. Nobody has seen him since the compact disaster in Boston…. he was there doing the bake with four other Indians. The White guys got $5k to make steamers.Tribal men were sparse. What does it matter. No one knows a real Mashpee from a fraud.
And everyone else got nothing. For the money that Cedric paid for this media extravaganza ….without Indians, he could have given each real Mashpee Wampanoag tribal family that is struggling desperately, at least $3,000 a month for a year.
It might also keep him outta the emergency room. Being a Mashpee ain’t all that stressful if you’re doing your job as a leader.
But instead, Cedric Cromwell had people bused in from around the eastern seaboard because he had no tribal members showing up for his Indian Deval Patrick media show. So the Cape Coders piled on. Lovely. Hug me Bro. Hug me harder. Yah.
It was a sea of Blacks and Whites who came for a public campaign event at tribal member expense.
Oh goodness Cedric! Thanks so much! You’re working so hard in our best interest.
Any word on our allotments?
Can’t hear you?
