BLACKFEET LAND FRAUDS ARE CRIMINAL CONSPIRACIES COMMITTED BY BORDER-WHITES

Black's Law Dictionary defines conspiracy as "A combination or confederacy between two or more persons, formed for the purpose of committing, by their joint efforts, some unlawful or criminal act or some act, which is lawful in itself, but becomes unlawful when done by the concerted actions of the conspirators, or for the purpose of using criminal or unlawful means to the commission of an act not in itself unlawful." Senate Investigator Walter W. Liggett charged Indian Service Blackfeet superintendents Wilson, McFatridge, and Campbell with conducting a "deliberate conspiracy" to defraud hundreds of Blackfeet Indians of their land allotments by issuing fraudulent Fee Patents to illiterate and incompetent allottees to expose their tax free trust property to Glacier and Pondera County tax liens who issued tax deeds to white men as part of the conspiracy. For their part, the BIA officials issued the fee patents by using a law passed by Congress to issue fee patents upon the request of the Indian allottees. Investigator Liggett found zero applications for fee patents requested by the Indians, therefore the whole procedure was tainted by a criminal conspiracy between white men, the county, and the BIA to defraud the Blackfeet Indians. Blackfeet Chiefs Rides-At-The-Door, Wolf Plume, Young Man Chief and Black Weasel were arrested at the train station by the superintendent and thrown into the agency jail by Joe Brown, agency employee to stop the chiefs from boarding the train to Washington D.C. In 1913 and 1918 the agent was found to be starving the Indians to force them to sign the fee patents, but was unsuccessful despite causing the deaths of 100 Blackfeet people including children from starvation. In 1921 Blackfeet veterans were starved to death with their aged parents after returning from World War One, and in 1944 Chairman Sharp protested Louis Hill, owner of the Great Northern Railway who robbed Blackfeet oil fields that have produced over a billion dollars in revenues. In 1983 Chairman Old Person protested the oil thefts and water thefts to the Senate Indian Committee. In 1982, 2001, 2005, and 2007 we brought a delegation to the Senate Indian Affairs Committee under a tribal resolution to protest the thefts of hundreds of Blackfeet allotments which have now reached 529,000 acres owned by white men on the reservation. Glacier and Pondera Counties encroached upon the Blackfeet reservation getting rich on our stolen Blackfeet land allotments as void Patent-in-Fee lands of white men and they have developed an underground economy that usurped the sovereign powers of the Blackfeet Tribe and rustled the successful Blackfeet cattle industry valued around $85,000,000 in sales of livestock and crops generated from stolen Blackfeet allotments. The white men and county governments have an underground economy on the reservation valued @ $850 million dollars from the reservation economy. Vote NO! on the state water compact unless we get our stolen lands returned with an estimated billions of dollars for oil and land revenues stolen from the Indians. Bob Juneau Sr.
