To whom it may concern,

I am writing to express my support for the Foundation for the Kern Valley Indian Community(KVIC) to operate the NUUI CUNNI Center. As they originally built and staffed the Center in cooperation with the U.S. Forest Service, they are the ideal organization to manage it moving forward.

I ask that you please support Bob Robinson and his ongoing efforts to re-open the center for the community.

Thank you for your time and for considering this matter.

Best regards,
John and or Jane Q. Public

Hello, please have all your Tribal Members, Family, and Supporters call Now.

☎️❗️MAKE 2 CALLS!❗️☎️

1. Call Aguiar- Curry here 916-319-2004 and state strong OPPOSITION to AB 52!

2. Assemblymember Isaac Bryan, Chair of Natural Resources.

Call Chair Bryan today: (916) 319-2055 or LA Office (310) 641-5410
“Hi, my name is [Your Name], and I’m calling to urge Chair Bryan to oppose the amendments to AB 52.
We deeply respect Chair Bryan’s leadership and his commitment to justice — and that’s why we’re asking him to stand with all California Tribal Nations, including non-federally recognized Tribes, who are facing a devastating attack on their rights through these amendments.
These amendments:
* Strip non-federally recognized Tribes of their government-to-government consultation rights.
* Reduce their role to mere participants, without real decision-making power.
* Undermine their sovereignty and their sacred relationship to the land and ancestors.
This bill is not a cleanup — it’s a cover-up. It divides our communities and furthers spiritual and legislative violence against non-federally recognized Tribes.”
