THE SANTEE CHRISTMAS FUND: Monteau & Peeples Donate Services To Santee sioux

MONTEAU & PEEBLES, L.L.C. PRESS RELEASE

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE 12-13-01 

OMAHA-NE: In this season of giving, we at Monteau & Peebles believe it is important to show the Indian way of Christmas.  Our people have always been willing to share with others when we had more than enough.  Right now, we believe it is time for everyone in Indian Country to come to the assistance of the Santee Sioux Tribe. 

            Santee Sioux has been unfairly targeted, and unfairly singled out by the United States government, and the government of the State of Nebraska for operating a gaming facility to provide jobs and a meager living for their members.  They have seen their assets attached, and their abilities to provide for their people taken away.  We at Monteau & Peebles are pleased to have played a part in the recent victory in Federal Court.  Unfortunately, this victory does not make up for six years of frozen bank accounts and unjust treatment.  This victory, while important does not make up for empty coffers, and it does not provide for the people of the Santee Sioux Nation.
