The Sacred Buffalo Vision by Robert J. Juneau and Robert C. Juneau pg.150-151

The Blackfeet temperament does not run that way. Why force a mode of life on him that he despises. He cares nothing for mutton and he never would quit running in the other direction if he saw a sheep tick. He shakes his head, no good for a Blackfeet, too dirty, smell too bad, wool full of bugs. He dreams of the old buffalo days but they are gone forever. Cattle satisfy him because they are nearly the image of his dear beloved buffalo. They are clean, easily managed and one does not have to stoop to the ways of a buzzard to care for cattle. A few took sheep because they could not get cattle, but after a few years the sheep urge was discontinued, and one or two cows were sold to a very select few-the same was true of machinery. They want to force us to sell our hay for one, two and three dollars a ton delivered, which does not even pay the expense of cutting it, let alone delivering it. White farmers off the reservation get nine dollars a ton in the stack for the same quality of hay. Indians don’t know any better anyway so why pay them more. According to the purpose of the Program our resources gradually dwindled away. We could not replace or repair old machinery, our penniless condition prevented us from acquiring new herds of cattle or even one cow, our clothes became so ragged that the wind nearly whip us to death when ever we step out into the wind. Many members began to get hungry. Small credit bills were run at Joe Sherburne’s store and when the bill amounted to two or three hundred dollars, the Indian would lose his land. Joe Sherburne would own it by hook or crook to satisfy a small debt. Results, the Sherburne Mercantile Company owns much of the land on the reservation and if conditions continue as they are, it will not be very long till they will own most of our land, and the sheepmen will own the rest. Campbell’s Five-Year-Starvation-Program was doing its work well.
