Just Rename The Tribe 'Crap'!

printer friendly
 

Anyone who has heard Billy Frank Jr., the renowned Nisqually activist from Washington, knows he has a way with words. He gave one of his best one-liners to The Tacoma News-Tribune, which reported on the Nisqually Tribe's attempt to claim sovereignty over the Frank’s Landing Community, where Frank lives:
“Everything they touch turns to crap," Frank said of the Nisquallys.
Not to be outdone, Nisqually Chairwoman Cynthia Iyall had some strong words of her own regarding Frank's Landing's attempt to assert sovereignty:
Iyall recently dismissed Frank’s Landing’s five-member governing council as “basically a school board.”
Ouch. We hate to choose sides but we have to give this one to Billy Frank!
