The Sacred Buffalo Vision by Robert J. Juneau and Robert C. Juneau pg.173

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.
