INDIAN GENOCIDE BY POVERTY IN AMERICA

The Sacred Buffalo Vision book exposes the on-going thread of "Slow-Death Measures" Genocides of today that are focused on robbing the remaining Indian land and water resources by corporate America. The American colonists wealth was built on Indian land negotiated by treaties with Indian Tribes. The Indian Treaty plays an important role in the "image" of the United States as the last defender of freedom from dictators across the world. This is the American history taught in public schools. My grandmother's are on the list of eligible Indian claimants for Indian Money Damage Claims to restore the stolen lands on the Blackfeet Indian Reservation to the heirs of the original Blackfeet landowners. The Indian lands robbed by complicity of federal trustees with corporate business owners like the father & son robber barons James J. Hill and his son Louis Hill owners of the Great Northern Railway. The on-going Indian genocide is exposed in Congress' role in the water wars by corporate giants, federal trustees, and the water-users downstream from the Blackfeet Reservation at the eastern slope of the Rocky Mountains. The federal trustees, as usual, are on the side of corporate interests in forcing the Indians to choose state court litigation or negotiation in water compacts in which the federal trustee represents the Indian landowners and water rights owners. The corporate man like Texas billionaire T. Boone Pickens is allowed to purchase federal [Agriculture Department] water @ $50 per acre foot and re-sell it at $325,850 per acre foot to Dallas,Texas, transporting it by pipeline with federal approval. The quality of the Blackfeet Reservation water makes it the most valuable on earth with zero contaminants because there is no pollution between the source of the water in Glacier National Park. This water is also the last of the Glacial Waters of the ice age, which glaciers will be melted by 2030. Imagine the cost of such waters to have a sip of the last ice-age water on the planet! The white ranchers and farmers on the reservation and oil companies have polluted their waters and property and now demand the pure waters of the Blackfeet Indians. The Cut Bank River begins in the mountains in Glacier Park, and is pure until it reaches the farms and cattle ranches of white men, and then it becomes a polluted river with pesticides and fertilizers, and oil company chemicals that go back to the 1920's when Louis Hill was prospecting with his father James J. Hill on the Blackfeet Reservation for coal and oil deposits which they stole with the complicity of federal trustees. Indian reservations are operated for the profits of corporations while federal trustees have a negative incentive to enrich the Indians-no more lucrative Indian Bureau jobs or federal poverty contract funds. Meanwhile, the Indians are slowly dying from poverty related diseases like the juvenile diabetes epidemic on the reservation, where the Indian Health Service doctors say the children will require kidney transplants by age of 20; all preventable by a healthy diet. Last winter in sub-zero weather the Blackfeet poor were living in cars to keep from freezing unable to pay electric bills, while food trucks from Montana Food Bank brought food supplies and winter coats for children. Our water is worth billions of dollars per year, but the federal trustees will not allow the Indians to put their precious water on the world market. Our family ranch has pure Cut Bank river water running through it and pure well-water but no development fund..Hundreds of Blackfeet landowners have pure waters on their lands-and pure underground aquifers, but we need investors! We need a group of investors who will help us get rich too. Is there anybody out there who will help us develop our water resources? T. Boone Pickens and any other corporate interests are welcome to bid on our water!  Lack of money is killing us, we need cash quick-no state tax on Indian water sales-no state regulation on the reservation-this is a excellent business climate.
