decree of banishment from ojibwe lands

i hear by invoke the council of my fellow ojibwe to adhere to the matters of an enemy amongst us, so that not one of us may be bias in the eyes of our community, but so that we can come together and reach fair judgment of those we see as a threat to the welfare of the ojibwe nation, i also ask for the clarity of our ancestors to help us restore the balance that they once maintained in our once untainted society, so that we may renew our nation with this sense of awareness, so that these problems do not become our children’s nor our children’s children and so forth, there are men amongst us, evil, vile men, corrupted by the white mans vices and selfish pursuit of luxury, obdurate in their ignorant ways to the degree that we must abandon them to their vices, and banish them from the vicinity of the lands we hold in trust for our children to govern over our peoples matters, such as these men that conform themselves to these organization of criminals, their treachery amongst the ojibwe is blatant, their betrayal to our welfare is evident, they are endangering our most precious resource, our children, we must give our children a chance to rise above the downfalls that afflict these corrupted men by removing these men from our lands, we will devise a council to investigate reputed gang members amongst us, send notice to their families that we request his or her attendance to stand before council, and have them defend their integrity which the council believes should be questioned upon evidence of their involvement in organizations that endanger and exploit our community, if they openly denounce their gang or involvement with those culprits that threaten the livelihood of the ojibwe people, then they will be allowed to live amongst us, under intense supervision, and if they fail to met our expectations of them,then they will be removed by force of our lands by our appointed enforcers, we will drop their enrollment and give them funds to relocate themselves outside our boundaries, which they will be in violation of trespassing on our lands, and we will seek the harshest penalties available to pursue punishment of these individuals that violate our orders of banishment, this is how we will secure the safety for our people, by removing those that refuse to incorporate themselves in the harmony of our community and those that attempt to endanger the stability of our ojibwe way of life.


i wrote this up as a rough draft of something i believe our people need to renew within our tribal government, banishment is nothing new to our people, this is how we kept our people safe from those that wish to do our communities harm.
