I Dont Ever Want The United States Government To Abuse Us Again

On February 9, 2010 Elouise Cobell gives a lecture in the Seminole Tribe of Florida auditorium in Hollywood, FL.

Elouise Cobell walks up, stands right next to me while the food is being blessed. I can feel her arm against mine. At that very moment, in my prayer I’m thanking the Lord that I can be side by side to one of Indian Country’s most badass historical figures. This Native woman, a living legend. Revered in my mind since I first heard her name 15 years ago.

These are her reflections.

She says ‘I began looking at statements that dont look right and asking questions, pushing Congress for an appointment. The case started in the George Bush Sr. administraion, they wouldnt talk. We were happy to deal with the Clinton Administration – nothing.’

‘I continued to stay in the face of the United States government.’ On the day of the filing in the Lincoln Memorial ‘I thought ‘oh my god’ Im suing the United States government. I had goosebumps. I dont think I can. So I called a friend who said ‘If you dont, who will?’

‘It meant a lot to have the support of the tribes and individual indians. There was a unity’. I thought ‘ We will come back to be the powerful people that we were at one time.’

On the day of settlement, Secret Service comes in buzzing around the room then Ken Salazar walks in. He sits directly across from me and asks ‘Who are you that you can shut down the entire United States government?’

‘I dont ever want the United States government to abuse us again’. – Elouise Cobell

Call-in Number: (646) 595-3155

Spencer Battiest is quickly becoming a national sensation in the world of music and entertainment. He first started performing at the age of 4 when he traveled across the country singing gospel with his family. At the age of 14, he was chosen from 3000+ hopefuls to perform live in New York City on Broadway at the International Presentation of Performers (IPOP).

Since then, he has been featured live on ESPN, EPSN2, HBO and Showtime. He has opened for major artists such as Aerosmith, Sting and The Police. The March 2008 issue of Rolling Stone touted his grand performance at London's Hyde Park before an astonishing crowd of over 100,000 music lovers with other high-profile performers including John Mayer, Sheryl Crow, Jason Mraz, The Bangles and Eric Clapton.

He recently appeared for a three-day show at Hard Rock LIVE in Hollywood, FL featuring all original music. He is currently recording with top producers and collaborating with celebrity artists such as Ray J, eager to share his incredible talent as an entertainer.

An inspiration to young people throughout the world, he retains strong ties to his own Native people. He is a proud member of the Seminole Tribe of Florida, with whom he collaborates to promote Hard Rock internationally through commercials and interviews.

Spencer, along with supermodel Petra Nomcova and R&B artist Sean Kingston, also participates as a global ambassador for charity through "Global Angels"—a charity founded by the mother of Natasha Beddingfield.
