The Sacred Buffalo Vision by Robert J. Juneau and Robert C. Juneau pg.156-157

The Blackfeet Indians transition from the buffalo economy to the private-sector American economy was successful by the 1890’s in the adaptation of the Blackfeet Indian cattle ranchers utilizing reserved treaty lands for grazing and the water holes and water courses to irrigate hay meadows for winter feed for their cattle herds. The government inspector documented their success and it is recognized in the 1896 Agreement/Article Five by the United States Congress.

The Senate Indian Affairs Committee documented the peculations of the Indians funds and private-property by border-whites and the “agency ring” a criminal conspiracy in 1929 in the “Survey of Conditions of Indians in the United States” but left the land frauds unresolved. The history is one of a century long defense of the tribal homeland.

On November 2, 1953, a special meeting (confidential) was held in the Council Room at Browning, with tribal council members and Lucien Hugh Cullen, oil man from Houston, Texas, who was called in to give his views on development of the Blackfeet Reservation outside of the racketeering interests of crooked tribal councilmen, oil companies, complicity of the Bureau of Indian Affairs “agency ring”, and various “border-white” speculators on the local level in Cut Bank, the Glacier County Attorney and other Glacier County Officials, et al.
