The Sacred Buffalo Vision by Robert J. Juneau and Robert C. Juneau pg.161-162

President Nixon sent the F.B.I. and U.S. Marshals Service to the reservation to beat the shit out of the Indian protesters and over 200 Indians were murdered in two years of federal, state and county government occupation of the Pine Ridge reservation; the deaths including old Indian people, women and children as usual. You might say Dick Nixon had a “streak of cruelty” like most Republican politicians of that era in suppressing Indian protests of government oppression. American patriotism was his excuse for the killings. Hyper-patriotism is now a missile aimed at civil rights of all Americans.

            President Reagan “trickles down” Indian water rights


Corporate totalitarianism on the Indian reservations was so obvious that Soviet leaders and White apartheid South African leaders pointed to the Indian reservations as an impoverished people in the richest nation in the world. The Indian reservations resembled the Soviet Union and South Africa more than “America.” President Reagan’s economic policy “Reaganomics” is pissing on the poor and making the rich-richer.
