The Sacred Buffalo Vision by Robert J. Juneau and Robert C. Juneau pg.174

Secretary of the Interior James Watt and President Reagan in 1982 blocked the Indians class action suits against the white apartheid settlers occupying Indian trust lands on Indian reservations. President Reagan displayed his willful ignorance of the Indian treaties and sovereign status of the Indians by telling the Soviets and South Africans Indian reservations had been gifts of the government in “humoring” the Indians.   

“Slow Death Measures” genocide on the reservation  

In the book, Native American Post Colonial Psychology by Eduardo Duran and Bonnie Duran, the authors propose that “without a proper understanding of [Indian] history, those who practice in the disciplines of applied social sciences operate in a vacuum, thereby merely perpetuating this ongoing neocolonialism.”

Alcoholism is high on the list of Indian ills, a grim reminder of the massacre of Heavy Runner’s band and small pox outbreaks salved with whiskey peddled to the dying Indians by Fort Benton merchants. Indian teenage suicide rates are the highest in the nation and on the increase and K-12 Indian student’s public school dropouts are rated as high as 70% in state-run public schools on Indian reservations. Unemployment rates run as high as 80% on Indian reservations caused by whites usurpation of Indian lands.
