Julia Bogany

Our condolences for Julia, her family, her friends, and the Tongva People.

Our hearts and prayers are with you all at this time.

Julia was a beautiful person that gave freely of her time and her knowledge

to teach our People and the greater community. She will be greatly missed

as she takes her place with our ancestors.

She will not be forgotten by any that had the pleasure of meeting her. Such

a sweet lady and a tremendous loss. She will be forever in our hearts.

May she find the glory and love of the Creator. May she be welcomed with

open arms, joyful hearts, and the smiling faces of our ancestors. May her

family and friends find understanding and peace in the life she lived.

Meyaa Yooyavoyn ‘achoova, Julia.

    It is with great pleasure to announce that we have had a successful victory

    against Jonathan Stein with 100% of the fillings in favor of our tribe. Now that

    we have the trial behind us, we can now mend and move our tribe forward

    to Federal Recognition. Thank you to everyone that have stood by and

    supported your Tribal Council during those difficult times, now there are only

    good times ahead and great expectations to achieve. Please read the tentative

    ruling from Judge Linfield.

 

      

            Tentative Ruling

 

 

July 11th, 2012

    Find out information regarding the litigation against Stein and how

    the courts have found that he cannot argue that GT Nation owes him

    $2.7 million, because he settled this debt with his puppet council. This

    finding a definite win for us and shows that Stein has been untruthful to

    the courts for the last 6 years.
