00:00:01.240 - 00:00:14.930

It's the same conversation we had before that they can't do anything and won't do anything because their hands are tied. It's entirely up to the people that we have to plead to in order to get anything from the PG and E because they can't give us

00:00:14.930 - 00:00:34.000

anything. Absolutely big part. Satisfied with the meeting? Uh, definitely not. No, I wasn't satisfied. I asked if this was all we were going to talk about. We were just wasting time. We do not like the idea of the tour boat company to, uh, coming bringing tourists

00:00:34.000 - 00:00:45.860

in to where we're living so that they can look at our homes because to us this is just exploitation. Wherever they're Indians, it's good for tourists. Anybody consider the possibility that somebody could be seriously hurt or killed by this attack? That could happen on both sides.

00:00:46.240 - 00:01:11.270

Our people could be seriously hurt. Our people could be killed from the tour boats coming through. They leave their awake. It's damaging to our boat, and it's not safe for our people. We think we've We've indicated our sympathy with them. Now when they turn around and

00:01:11.270 - 00:01:25.640

interfere with our rights and we have to take a different look at the situation, and we're going to do something about it so that our right to circle that island or come close to the island is not denied. You don't feel it is an invasion of

00:01:25.640 - 00:01:55.040

privacy. In fact, as they charge whose privacy the Indians their trespass is. I don't think they have any right to claim privacy on the island. The island doesn't belong to them or belong to the United States. Government belongs to the public. All right. Mhm. Yeah, yeah.

00:01:55.540 - 00:02:12.090

Mhm. When I went to school, how did it go? We the people of the United States of America and so forth and so forth. Now it's were the big cooperations of America. These are the people that control America. Is not we the people? This is why

00:02:12.090 - 00:02:30.350

I think that we were met here today as we were with armed guards to the white man keeping score. Their tally sheet probably reads White man, three Indians, nothing. The Indians don't view it that way. They saw their mission. Today is one of communication to talk

00:02:30.350 - 00:02:47.810

to any who would listen. They felt their day was a success. They also feel that these are only battles with their concern is about the total war For eyewitness news. This is Evan White, reporting from downtown San Francisco. Mhm. Indians launched a three pronged attack in

00:02:47.810 - 00:03:37.660

San Francisco today against three of the white man's most formidable fortresses. Yeah, mhm. And the radio have to come back. Wait. Did you know? Yeah. Mr. Gibson of our law department and I met with the representatives of the pit River Indians and heard them

00:03:37.660 - 00:03:57.380

out. We explained to them that there are several matters involving their claims which are now in court, and therefore, we were unable to make any statements because the litigation is still under consideration. We suggested to them then, as we have in the past, that these matters

00:03:57.390 - 00:04:29.140

are something that should be resolved by the federal government and not by property owners in the area that they're contesting. Right? Mhm right there. Yeah, I know, right? Also, we can what layout? Staying out down, you know? Yeah, we're serving notice on the tour boats. We

00:04:29.140 - 00:04:46.060

don't want them to bring so that they can make money. We don't want them bringing tourists into close to the island so that they can look at us. You know, we don't. It's not a zoo out there. Certainly the Southern Pacific Railroad Company met us. Uh,

00:04:46.070 - 00:04:58.600

no different of a fashion, but they treated with more respect to let the people in out of the rain so that, uh, PG didn't do that? Uh, Mr Lindi and the other corporate executives, uh, admitted that they were very stupid about what was going on. Okay,

00:04:58.600 - 00:05:11.220

I'm not stupid. Uh, they did not know what was going on in the driver. They did not know the Indian situation. Certainly Ross painting some beautiful pictures of the Indian situation for them. Mr. Lindi was very interested, and they just didn't know this. So, uh, we're

00:05:11.220 - 00:05:31.670

going to learn more about Southern Pacific. Southern Pacific, in turn, is going to learn more about Pitt River and we'll see what happens. Our next meeting with Mr Lindi. Mr. Lindy made it very clear to the pit river council people that were satisfied that our properties

00:05:31.670 - 00:05:43.950

in that area were legally acquired and that, uh, we legally owned them and that further, uh, we're taking very good care of them from an environmental standpoint.
