"The history of Montana in relation to the Blackfeet Indians is frontier genocide by massacre, starvation, war, small pox, whiskey trade for Indian deaths and removals; theft of Blackfeet money, property, annuities and the usurpation of tribal sovereignty. White men robbed the Blackfeet cattle industry, grazing lands, water rights, oil, while the state usurped tribal sovereignty vested in the 1896 Agreement with the United States. “Slow Death Measures” genocide today is epic poverty, diseases, unemployment inflicted by political slavery and economic apartheid of the state and speculators. This history is 150 years of attempted genocide of the Indians."
“The U.S. honored treaties because they believed if they did not there
would be a indeliable stain on the honor of the country and God would
punish them for being unjust. In the early years of the republic the U.S.
was a experiment in republican government being watched by the whole world.”

“He who violates his treaties, violates at the same time the law of
nations; for he disregards the faith of treaties,-that faith which the
law of nations declares sacred; and, so far as depends on him, he
renders it vain and ineffectual. Doubly guilty, he does an injury
to all nations, and inflicts a wound on the great society of mankind.
As all nations are interested in maintaining the faith of treaties, and
causing it to be every-where considered as sacred and inviolable,
so likewise they are justifiable in forming a confederacy for the
purpose of repressing him who testifies a disregard for it,-who
openly sports with it,-who violates and tramples it under foot.
Such a man is a public enemy who saps the foundations of the
peace and common safety of nations.”
