The United Nations Genocide Convention defined "Slow Death Measures" genocide as "Subjecting a people to conditions of life which, owing to lack of proper housing, clothing, food, hygiene, and medical care, are likely to result in the debilitation and death of individuals; deprivation of the means livelihood by looting and denial of supplies otherwise available to other inhabitants of the territory concerned." My great-grandmothers were successful ranchers and operated self-reliant cattle and sheep operations on their land allotments on the Blackfeet Indian Reservation by 1890, just a few years after the Blackfeet famine of 1881-1886, when the Blackfeet were forced to "sell land for a living" to keep from starving to death. Envious border-whites are parasites on the Indian people and rob economic success of the Indians for their own possession enabled by a corrupt Congress and corporate interests such as oil companies, railroad barons, meat trusts, agri-business, and now it is the clean waters of the reservation they covet. In 2013 Conservative Republicans in the state legislature voted down $164 million in free federal poverty funds meant for the "reservation/counties" which are the white apartheid settlements on stolen Indian lands within the borders of Indian reservations. The Indian land claims would spring the Indians all over the United States out of a tribal poverty that began in 1890 when envious border-whites set out to rob prosperous Blackfeet cattle and sheep operators. Looting of Blackfeet land and resources has brought the Blackfeet 100 years of suffering which can only be ended with the restoration of stolen Blackfeet land and personal property by Congress. The remaining Blackfeet landowners are the poorest people on the reservation, but still, by some  miracle own 900,000 acres of land and water rights adjacent to Glacier National Park, and need some help in marketing their remaining water resources into bottled water plants for sale to a thirsty world. The Montana border-whites are in the process of robbing these remaining Blackfeet waters in the state-tribal water compact forced on the Indians by an act of Congress subjecting Indian land and water rights to state courts. We need an offer on the table now for the opportunity to turn the compact into a billion dollar win for the Indians. Surely there is some interest in helping out an economically oppressed people and making a profit too! Isn't that just a perfect solution to the problem of greed? Everybody gets something and nobody is robbed! Bob Juneau Sr. Blackfeet patriot
