Oneida Chief Attacking Redskins Isn’t Oneida or a Chief

He is a casino kingpin and Obama fundraiser so that’s alright.
As The Point discussed previously, Ray Halbritter is being misrepresented as an Oneida Chief in his attacks on the Washington Redskins, but he isn’t actually a chief.
In 1993, the Grand Council of Chiefs removed Mr. Halbritter as the Oneida wolf clan representative and notified the federal Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA) that he no longer represented the Oneida people.
Halbritter heads up Oneida Indian Nation Enterprises whose prize is a casino built on land obtained through a lawsuit to “recover” Oneida land. But it turns out that not only isn’t Ray Halbritter an Oneida chief, he may not even be Oneida.
...
The Oneida Nation turned a $115 million profit in 2006, according to a report by University of Rochester professor Gregg Jarrell. Tenney claimed that Oneida annual revenue is now “really closer to $300 million.” The tribe directly takes in “$8 to 9 million” per year in taxpayer money from federal and state governments for health care, according to Tenney.
...
And how much of that money ended up in Obama’s pockets?
