Due to an increasing amount of personal attacks on the PuyallupNation.com blog, we've had to temporarily shut down the automatic posting of comments. It is not our intention to shut down lively debates and members' voicing legitimate concerns. The creators of this site (Publisher Robert Satiacum and Webmaster Mark Celletti) hope that the tone of the comments will reach an acceptable level of respect and civility.

Most tribal members acknowledge that lack of Tribal Unity is one of the biggest roadblocks to solving the many challenges that face this Sovereign Nation. We suggest most everyone who visits, reads and submit posts on this site are not supporters of the current Tribal Government. Then why the infighting? Our efforts would be better spent building alliances, building trust, swallowing our pride, and providing a United Front against the persistent injustices that face Puyallup Tribal Members every day. 

The moderators are Publisher Robert Satiacum and Webmaster Mark Celletti. This is our statement we've had on the site since day one:
" ...This web site is a labor of love staffed by volunteers dedicated to fostering connections and understanding among members of the Puyallup Tribe and the surrounding Native Community.... We will post anything for Tribal Members free of charge provided you say who you are and are respectful of others."

If you want to be a story contributor and start an article or conversation, email your text and photos to: webmaster@puyalluptribalnews.com

When replying to a post, if your comments are determined to be of a personal nature, the webmaster will forward your comment on the story contributor. The site is intended to be a public forum, not for personal conversations which may be carried on via phone or e-mail. Be aware that in replying to other comments, many of the posts are anonymous and people don't leave their correct e-mail address. (We have allowed anonymous posts since many fear retaliation by the established power structure.)

Thank you to everyone for visiting this PuyallupNation.com and PuyallupTribalNews.com. We are looking forward to an exciting campaign season!
