Robinson Rancheria Citizens Business Council reverses disenrollment of dozens of tribal members

NICE, Calif. – In a move that may be a first in Indian Country, the Robinson Rancheria Citizens Business Council has taken action to reinstate the membership of dozens of people who were the target of a bitterly contested 2008 disenrollment action.

Based on direction from a majority vote of tribal members, on Feb. 1 the tribal council, led by Chairman Eddie “EJ” Crandell, voted in favor of a resolution that allows for the reinstatement of about 60 individuals who had been ousted from the tribe following a disputed 2008 tribal election.
