(Longstand Begay) Welcome gentlemen. Please have a seat.

Switch to the live report of a CNN reporter Allen Ross.

(CNN Reporter) Ted, are we about ready? (Camera man) Allen, we will
go live in five, four, three, two, one, go. (CNN Reporter) Good morning

ladies and gentlemen. Today I am here live from the Navajo Indian
Reservation, where we are waiting for the outcome of a meeting with a

Mike Kelly of Kelly Corp. and another un-named constituent of Oriental
decent. It was leaked to me by an un-named source that this meeting is

to propose the sale of the Indian reservation. (CNN Anchor-men) Ted,
how is it possible, and what grounds will the US have in its sale, if any.
(CNN Reporter) I’m not quite certain as to the legal implications of such

a deal. Buy, as we all know the Navajo, Apache and Mohave Reservation is
land owned by the Indians, not by the US government. We’ll keep you

updated on any late breaking news.

Switch to the meeting room with Mike and Yoshi talking to the

council.

(Mike) Gentlemen of the council, please allow me a moment to secure in
your minds what this proposal will do for both the Navajo, Apache and

Mohave along with the Japanese. (Longstand) No. I, as the chosen
spokesman for the Unified Tribes say this. We have read your proposal.

Mike, we respect you. Mr. Kelly, in the past you have done many great
things for our nation. Let me tell you a story as it was told to me. (Mike)
We are in trouble, my friend. He’s getting into the story bit. (Longstand)

Our people once roamed this vast country, from generation to generation.
Then came the white man. We once owned the house, as you call it. Mr.

Kelly, now we only have a room in the house called America. If we sell our
land and the Japanese tell us to move, what will we have?

(Yoshi) Gentlemen, I assure you… (Longstand) Mr. Kim, you are in no

position to assure anyone of anything. Sit down. (Longstand) Allow me to
ask you a question, Mr. Kim. (Yoshi) Please do. (Mike) Be careful.
(Longstand) If we offered to buy Japan, would your people sell it and

risk the loss of their home along with their culture?
