Bob Juneau Sr. is an enrolled member of the Blackfeet Tribe and landowner of trust [tax free] property on the Blackfeet Reservation, which property has a river running through it and water wells drilled at 60 feet depth with good water which we have drunk since forever. There are 1.3 million acres of Blackfeet allotted lands of 400 acres each owned by individual Blackfeet landowners. Water rights one and one-fourth acre foot allocated per acre foot by the Federal Bureau of Reclamation in 1908 for grazing or industrial uses. The Blackfeet Reservation has underground aquifers of fresh water undisturbed by oil wells or fertilizers and pesticides, the reservation has a million acres of original buffalo grasses that supported millions of buffalo until the 1880's genocides of buffalo and Indians. The majority of Blackfeet descendants of the original treaty Indians live in squalor and poverty in government housing slums on welfare payments with an estimated 80% tribal unemployment rate. But, these Indians own 1.3 million acres of fine grazing lands and well watered properties, but the federal government has no economic policy in place to allow Indian landowners into global water markets, and we, the Blackfeet landowners, cannot afford another century of tribal poverty. Therefore it is my plan to organize the 1.3 million acre feet of Blackfeet water resources into a tribal cooperative to market Blackfeet allotted water rights to groundwater and surface water resources for shared profits for owners of water resources under development by the joint-venture.
AREA OF DEVELOPMENT: 1.3 million acres of the Blackfeet Indian Reservation allotted lands and water rights to an estimated 2.6 million acre feet of quality drinking water owned by the Blackfeet Tribe and Blackfeet Trust Landowners.
