The Bureau of Indian Affairs is the federal agency manager of Blackfeet trust property of 1.3 million acres of the finest grazing lands in the northwest with water rights of 1 and 1/4th acre foot per acre on reserved Blackfeet allotted lands. The Indians are political and economic-apartheid prisoners of the western states "reservation/counties" and United States Congressmen, who are themselves political pawns of the National Cattlemen's Association and Farmers Union, who control the policy of Indian Affairs that frustrate Indian economic development to the benefit of their cattlemen and farmer constituents. The result of corruption in Congress and Indian Affairs is that the Blackfeet land claims have been held up in the Senate Indian Affairs Committee for a century, after robbery of a billion dollars worth of oil and 529,000 acres of prime Blackfeet grazing and farm lands robbed by border-whites. The Blackfeet Indians still own 1.3 million acres of land and water rights to groundwater and underground aquifers underlying the reservation which abuts Glacier Park with no pollution of reservation streams until they reach the white farmers pouring pesticides and fertilizers onto crops, and the topsoil is only one inch leaving the specter of dust storms without irrigation and fertilizers, but water is more valuable than crops or cattle or gold for that matter! In the 1896 Agreement/Article Five the Blackfeet Chiefs chose the grazing lands and water resources with which to rebuild the tribal economy in raising cattle which the whitemen have stolen along with the grass, and now it is our water they are in the process of stealing from under our feet, literally. The rule of capture is a law invented by oil companies to drain the oil from under the neighbors land without paying a lease, and it applies equally to water draining from the Indians property from the stolen lands in every township on the reservation owned by whitemen. Please, help us to organize our water rights to stop the water thefts from under our lands because we are so poor we cannot hire lawyers, economists, or hydrologists to inventory our water resources and put a value on our water products including bottled water plants to bottle our own water and market it to global water markets-China. Blackfeet allotted landowners own 1.3 million acres. I am part-owner of 1,000 acres with a river running through it.
