MISSION INDIAN FEDERATION

The Mission Indian Federation (MIF) was Southern California'southward almost popular and long-lived grassroots political organization.

Between 1919 and 1965, its membership wrestled with some of the virtually hard political and legal questions of the 20th century.

The MIF asserted rights to internal sovereignty, rejecting the Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA) paternalism. The MIF'due south clashes with the federal government'due south BIA employees in the Mission Indian Bureau (MIA) continually had its members in court, but occasionally confrontations turned violent.

In 1934, Commissioner of Indian Affairs John Collier described the MIF's aspirations toward sovereignty saying the organization "resisted the piece of work of the Indian service in the spirit of ousting a foreign power from the native soil or beating off an invasion of a foreign ability."

Drawing its membership from reservation and non-reservation California Indians of Southern California, the MIF could all-time be described as a quasi-governmental, pan-Indian organization purporting to represent the collective will of Southern California's reservation people....

The MIF's purpose was to end Mission Indian Agency corruption and paternalism and to bring equal rights, justice, and "habitation dominion" for Southern California's Indians....

PRESIDENT ADAM CASTILLO

One of the most revered presidents of the MIF was President Adam Castillo, a well-known Cahuilla Indian activist. Adam Castillo also served as the chairman of Soboba Band of Luiseño Indians, Soboba Indian Reservation near San Jacinto, CALIF.

From the early on 1900's the Mission Indian Federation, under the leadership of Adam Castillo, until his death in 1953, was the compelling influence in the redressing of economical, political, and legal grievances of the American Indian people. Mr. Castillo also served as the Tribal Chairman for the Soboba Band of Mission Indians. (In 2003 the tribe changed its proper noun to the Soboba Ring of Luiseño Indians, as did many other tribes, dropping the discussion "Mission").

The Mission Indian Federation under the leadership of Mr. Castillo successfully challenged the United States Regime and won some very major political victories. The start was the dismissal of charges against 57 members of the Mission Indian Federation for "Conspiracy against the U.S. Government" by the U.South. District Courts in Los Angeles, California in 1923. The Government'due south contention was that the 57 members of the Mission Indian Federation were promoting "Bolshevistic Doctrines".
