The Sacred Buffalo Vision by Robert J. Juneau and Robert C. Juneau pg.147-148

It is semi-arid in most places, that means that it takes a lot of land to support each family by stock raising. White wheat farmers just off the reservation are all broke. They cannot raise enough to get back their seed. How can Indians accomplish what trained white farmers fail to accomplish under bad weather conditions. So that wild hay and stock raising is our only resource. There came a killing winter in 1919-1920. Stock all over the State of Montana froze to death, and big cattle kings all over the state went broke. We Blackfeet Indians were no exception and we all went broke too. Even the horses died in clusters. That was the beginning of the disaster. At the same time a new Indian Agent came in to run our affairs, Horace G. Wilson, was the culprit. He immediately laid us open to the mercy of the big sheep corporations by putting our land up for rent, allotted and un-allotted at ten cents an acre. Sheep from all over the country came here on a dog trot, because they could get cheap grazing, cheaper than stealing it as they call it, and renting good grazing land was certainly cheaper than owning the land, when rent is “only” ten cents an acre. We were broke, hard up and many of us had to accept the ten cents an acre to keep from immediate starvation, others protested for a higher rent, but Horace Wilson said we could not expect higher rent as the U.S. Department of the Interior had set a value on our land and made a “ruling of ten cents an acre,” on our land, and we ought to be satisfied with that.
