Affidavit Of Robert Posenjak 2 3 I, Robert Posenj~ State the following is true and correct under 4 penalty of perjury. 5 6 I, Robert Posenj~ am a direct descendent of Chief Pat Kanam, Pat 7 Kanam was the aboriginal chief of the Pilchuck Tribe/Band and was 8 a signatory of the Point Elliot Treaty for the Pilchuck Tribe/Band. 9

10 As a direct descendant of Pat Kanam, I, Robert Posenjak, have a 11 religious vision, and conviction that is my duty and obligation to 12 appoint a chieftain for the Plichuck Tribe/Band. 13 14 I, Robert Posenjak,. personally have maintained political influence 15 and authority over the Pilchuck Tribe / Band's members as an 16 autonomous entity from the time I received the title of chieftain of the 17 Pilchuck Tribe/Band from my grandfather, William Gildow, who 18 maintained political influence and authority over the Pilchuck 19 Tribe/Band's members as an autonomous entity from before 1900. 20 21 It is my deeply felt religious conviction that my appointment of Kurt 22 Kanam as aboriginal chieftain of the Pilchuck Tribe/Band is a 23 continuation of the aboriginal practice, custom and religion of the 24 Snoqualamoo and Pilchuck Tribes, and that I am fulfilling the will of 25 my ancestor Pat Kanam. 26 27 I hereby grant Kurt Kanam complete control of the Pilchuck 28 'govenunent, and its members.

INTRODUCTION

This court is asked to affinn the existence of the Pilchuck. Nation and the aboriginal rights of the Pilchuck Nation based upon the following;

The Pilchuck Nation under the leadership of Chieftain Kurt Kanam descendant of Chief Pat Kanam is a continuing maintenance of the Pilchuck nation's tribal organization and evidence of the Pilchuck Nations possession of Treaty rights.

The Pilchuck. Nation makes the same claims as the Stillagaumish tribe in US v Washington. The district court upheld the Stillaguamish's aboriginal treaty rights.

RIGHTS

Aboriginal rights are distinct and different to statutorily rights:

While it might be argued that the Pilchuck Nation may not posse's statutory rights it does posses inalienable treaty and aboriginal rights. The primary right of the Pilchuck. Nation is the right to gather food. Three Primary rules have been developed supporting this notion;

Ambiguous expressions must be resolved in favor of the Indian parties concerned [Mclanahan V Store Tax Comm'n 411 US 164 (1923)]; Indian treaties must be interpreted as the Indians themselves would have understood them, [Choctaw Nation v. Oklahoma, 397 US 620 (1970); Indian treaties must be liberally construed in favor of the Indians [Choctaw Nation v. US 381 US 423 (1943)];

The Pilchuck Nation has never abandoned its Treaty rights and it's treaty rights have not been abrogated;

... it is a fact that no Supreme Court case during the last half-century has pennitted the abrogation of Indian treaty rights without an express statement in a subsequent statute. Thus there is at growing tendency to require clarity and specifically in legislative arrogations {63 Calif L.R. 601, 630 (1975)

The aboriginal treaty rights of the Pilchuck. Nation are property rights

Public Law 96-420 section 3 definitions (b) "land or natural resources" means any real property or natural resources, including but without limitation, minerals and mineral rights, timber and timber rights, water and water rights, and hunting and fishing rights."

"Rights of hunting and fishing Guaranteed by treaty or statute are is some respects property

Rights" Felix Cohen Indian law handbook

Because Tribes are the original owners of the land, courts have held that tribes keep the right to use the land unless they expressly give up that right. Tribes preserve all their rights to use the land until then. This doctrine is known as the "reserved rights doctrine"; it first used by the supreme court in US v Winas, 198 US 371 (1905) where the Supreme Court held "The treaty was not a grant of rights to the Indians, but a grant of rights from them - a reservation of those not granted"

The protection promised to the tribes by the United States in treaties is Twofold. First, the united States promises to defend tribes reserved hunting and fishing rights in court US v Michigan, 471 Supp. 192 (W.O. Mich 1974)

The second way the United States protects treaty rights is though the place of treaties in our system of constitutional law . Treaties are the supreme law of the land " .. all treaties made, or which hall be made, under authority of the United States, shall be the supreme law of the land; and the Judges in every State shall be bound thereby, in anything in the Constitution or laws of any to the contrary not withstanding."

GOVERNMENT

It is irrefutable that the Pilchuck Nation has maintained a hierarchal Chiefdom government in accordance with its aboriginal custom.

""Whether a group of citizens of Indian ancestry is descended from a treaty signatory and has maintained an organized tribal structure is a factual question which a district court is competent to determine"

Cf. Upper Chehalis tribe v United States, 155 F. Supp 225 (ct. C.1957)

A question of the continuing nature of the Pilchuck Nation Government would be question of the Point Elliott treaty and an attempt to annul the treaty

JlTo Maintain that the United States untended by a change of its fundamental law, which was not ratified by these tribes ***** to annul treaties then existing **** Would be to charge-upon the United states repudiation of national obligations, repudiations doubly infamous from the fact that the parties whose claims were thus annulled are too weak to enforce their just rights, .md were enjoying the voluntary assumed guardianship and protection of this Government." (Sen. Report No. 268 41st Cong 3d sess, December 14, 1870, pll

25 USC 177 (Indian Non-Intercourse Act); 26 Stat. 851 (Indian Depredation Act.)

[T]here is an irreputable presumption that it (Pilchuck Nation) has not abandoned its treaty rights today. (3) If it the Tribe is composed of Indians descended from a treaty signatory and has maintained a tribal organization.

Kurt Kanam is a Pilcht.ick Indian and a direct descendant of the treaty signatory and the Pilchuck nation has maintained it's aboriginal tribal government.

The ninth circuit upheld the notion that being a descendant of a treaty signatory and maintaining a tribal organization wa~ to posses treaty rights.

There is no specified evidentiary requirement for maintaining a tribal organization.

"Evidence supported the Court's finding that members of the two tribes (Upper Skagit and Stillaguamish) are descendants of treaty signatOries and have maintained tribal organizations. We, therefore, affinn the District court's conclusion that the Stillaguamish and upper Skagit are entities possessing rights under the Treaty of Point Elliot"

FEDERAL RECONITION

The opinion of the United States US v Washington # 9213, That only members of a federally recognized tribe posses treaty rights, is based upon no published law and is unconstitutional in that is attempts to supercede the constitution prohibition on the corruption of blood (inheritance) with an administrative action.

This notion is constitutionally repugnant a.p.d therefore void.

This Court is requested to void the above mention US order as void.

In addressing the relationship of Federal recognition to treaty rights;

Non-recognition of the tribe by the federal government and the failure of the secretary of the Interior to approve a tribe's enrollment may result in a loss of statutory benefits, but can have no impact on vested treaty rights.

US v Washington Slip opinion at p 21 (9th Cir.1975)

25 CPR 52.1 (g)

»» Only Indians are entitled to be enrolled for the purpose of receiving allotment and the fact of enrollment would be evidence that the enrollee is an Indian. But the refusal of the Department of Interior to enroll a certain Indian as a member of a certain tribe is not necessarily an administrative determj.nation that the person is not an Indian. Morre's mother failed to be enrolled as a St. Croix Indian because she was to young not because she was not an Indian (pp 31-32) EX PARTE Pero, 99 F. 2d 28 (c.c.a. 71938)

URecognized Tribe means any Indian Tribe which has entered into a treaty convention or executive

agreement with the Federal government or whose tribal entity has been otherwise recognized by the

United States"

Ch. 18 Recognition & Enforcement of Judgments .Author. MARGARET A DAlE II. The Uniform Foreign Country Money Judgments Recognition.Act

SEARCH GUIDE

Tex! SiZe: A A A .,,;;" Print

A. In 1962, the National Conference of Conmissioners on Unifcnn State Laws approved and recorrmended for enactment the Uniform Foreign Money-Judgments Recognition /Id. ("UFMJRA" or the "Act"). See 13 U.LA 39 (1986). At. the time, it was conmon for judgments rendered in U.S. courts not to be recognized abroad because of the concern held by other nations that judgments by their courts would not be recognized in a U.S. court. The Pd. codified the conmon law applied in the majority of U.S. states. The eJCpectation was that. by adopting a ·standard," U.S. judgments wOuld more likely be recognized abroad. See also Chapter 6 of this Guide, which also discusses the UFMJRA.

B. Many states in the U.S., including New Yorl<, have adopted the Id. or some parts of it. Currently, more than half the states have adopted some version of the Act.

1. The New Yorl<· staMe can be found in Article 53 of the New Yorl< Civil Practice Law and Rules .

2. The UFMJRA was revised and updated in 2005 to clarify provisions and correct problems created by the interpretation of provisions by courts over the years. Since its revision, the 2005 Id. has been adopted by Idaho and Nevada, and has been introduced for adoption in California and Michigan. See http:/NNNi.nccus/.org /Update/.

C. The UFMJRA applies to non-lI.S. court judgments granting or denying the recovery of a sum of money.

1. Wlile the IV:J.. does not extend recognition to judgments for fa)ceS, fines or penalties and support judgments in • • .... , r "' .
