The Sacred Buffalo Vision by Robert J. Juneau and Robert C. Juneau pg.115

The Blackfeet Irrigation project suffered economic setbacks and bureaucratic blunders even when the Indian Service actually attempted to develop tribal resources. The corruption continued unabated even as several agency superintendents and agency employees were dismissed from the Indian Service for embezzlements of tribal funds and robbing of Indian property. The monumental costs of the Reclamation Service Blackfeet Irrigation Project, which the Blackfeet cattle ranchers bitterly protested against were shifted to the Blackfeet Tribal Accounts, and attached as liens on the individual Blackfeet allotted lands. The remaining Blackfeet Allotments carry this mortgage on their lands today, which liens will probably never be paid or forgiven. It clouded their trust land titles and precluded loans, credit, or development of the reservation economy for Indians. The Indians were stripped of their treaty guaranteed tribal grazing lands and water rights and self-sufficient tribal cattle industry usurped by the border-whites and corporations.
