White treaty Indians?
The white ranchers
are living our lives on our reservation. The white ranchers might as well as
donned their cowboy hats and chaps and rode in the sovereign Indian nation’s
parade at the White House, with President Reagan looking on, waving their pirate
flag of white apartheid territory “Glacier
County ” on the Blackfeet Indian
Reservation, so sure they are of escaping justice. White supremacy groups like
the National Cattlemen’s Association have a national goal of extinguishing
Indian treaties and tribal sovereignty; it is their final solution to the
“Indian problem.” White apartheid state government on Indian reservations is not
merely political oppression; its aim is economic exploitation of the Indians
and their lands and resources.
The treaty-Indian’s
“emancipation” into state law is “dirty tricks” like President Nixon’s Indian
Self-Determination Program, which intends to continue the inherited morphology of
economic-apartheid Indian exploitation structures of white apartheid transplanted
onto the reservation. The continuation of white apartheid political and economic
monopoly of Indian land and resources on the Indian reservations violates
Indian treaties, tribal sovereignty and human rights. It is economic apartheid.
