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

The Indians know this, but are powerless to control their reservation economies. The corporation has controlled and raped Indian resources since the 1800’s in Blackfoot Country. The Federal Government has made a mockery of Indian treaty rights with all meaningful decisions made at the national level in the corrupt Interior Department and the executive branch. The United States violated Indian treaties for corporate profits.  

In the 1980’s the “government” discovered there were still outstanding Indian claims not resolved, and that these Indian land claims were tied to valuable Indian water rights, and mineral rights overlooked by the States and speculators in their first rape of Indian reservations. The Indian water rights are so valuable that President Reagan’s Interior Department and Justice Department moved to extinguish the claims of the Indians or failing that, to force the Indians to accept reduced water rights claims.
