THE RICH HAVE ROBBED INDIAN COUNTRY

The "distinct economic territories"of void Patent-in-Fee lands of border-whites created on Indian reservations by state legislatures labeled "reservation/counties" are in fact examples of white apartheid in America. The Indians were not allowed to vote in state elections and did not give their consent for accepting state jurisdiction on their property or person. On the Blackfeet Reservation there are numerous hearings of Congress that proved the mass robbery of Indian landowners in state courts, and documented illegal encroachment of state jurisdiction on the sovereign Blackfeet Reservation. The majority of whites live off the reservation aand the Glacier county seat is off the reservation, but a tiny group of white ranchers and farmers managed to rob 325,250 acres of the most productive grazing and irrigated lands including the successful, self-reliant Blackfeet cattle industry. The border-whites have established a parasitic system that sucks the economy of the Blackfeet Indians and Blackfeet Reservation to their profits, including an estimated $850,000,000 gross reservation product. The usurpation of the Blackfeet cattle industry is a treaty violation because the Blackfeet cattle ranchers were guaranteed protection for their cattle ranch operations now taken by white ranchers, which generates an estimated $75 million annually in sales of cattle, crops and small livestock on the former Blackfeet allotted lands. Today, it is the underground aquifer and water rights the border-whites and State of Montana are usurping in the state-tribal water compact which was forced on the Indians by an act of Congress pushed by western Congressmen to extinguish Indian reserved water rights, and force the Indians into state courts if the compact fails to produce a settlement. President Reagan in 1982 refused to comply with Public Law 96-217, Section 2 passed by Congress to resolve 17,000 Individual Indian land claims to approximately one hundred million acres of former private-property of Indians robbed by white men on Indian reservations nationwide. Even the Soviet Union and South Africa criticized Reagan for operating gulags on Indian reservations and practicing apartheid on the "reservation/county" white territories encroaching on sovereign Indian nations. President Reagan punished the Indians by cutting Indian treaty funds for medical care, nutrition, education, and welfare services causing many deaths on the Indian reservations. Congress has failed to act on the forced patents conspiracies uncovered by investigator Walter W. Liggett. In 1917 the Blackfeet Chiefs traveled to Washington to protest border-whites robbery of Blackfeet grazing lands, and running their cattle herds on treaty lands where Indian ranchers had developed a successful cattle industry. The Montana rivers are polluted and topsoil is less than one inch after 100 years of the plow and after it is gone there will be dust bowls and mass migrations to Indian territory for the rest of our land and water. I was in Washington D.C. in 1979 when the Interior Dept. admitted complicity in the Indian land frauds, but still nothing has been done to restore stolen Indian lands. The Interior Dept. official said litigation was thought to be inappropriate because it would present the public spectacle of the United States Government suing itself on behalf of its Indian wards. Is that an excuse? Public outcry is needed to expose this latest Indian atrocity concerning Indian treaty land and reserved water rights. I would like the opportunity to testify before the United Nations Genocide Convention on the "Slow Death Measures" genocides of Montana. Bob Juneau Sr. Blackfeet patriot
