The tribes are appealing the decision to abolish their Constitution and By-Laws, arguing that it was not a legal document and that the Bureau of Indian Affairs does not have the authority to dissolve their government. They are requesting that all tribal expenditures be stopped until their tribal government is restored. The letter outlines several points challenging the Bureau's actions and emphasizes the need for immediate attention to the situation.
