WE NEED TRIBAL NATION-BUILDING ON THE BLACKFEET INDIAN RESERVATION

A tribal nation-building policy is needed to energize reservation economies and create jobs for the 80% of Blackfeet Indians unemployed on the reservation. Tribal housing slums brought crime and drug abuse among the people and 80% unemployment rate caused juvenile diabetes epidemic among Blackfeet children. Iraq after Bush's bombing is in better shape than the Blackfeet Reservation who have been hit by an economic bombshell of poor and stupid policy from the federal government "professionals" who are bureaucrats that manage the Bureau of Indian Affairs. The Bureau of Indian Affairs is the rogue federal agency created by Congress to control reservation economies and to control the Indian people by paternalistic policies that kill individual initiative to get out of poverty. Every time Indian landowners try to change the land leasing policies created by the Bureau of Indian Affairs their initiative is challenged by the white ranchers who lease individual Blackfeet lands from the Bureau of Indian Affairs for a pittance leaving the Indian landowners out of the profits from his own property. It is an Indian land leasing fraud that has gone on for over a century and is the policy that keeps the Blackfeet landowners in a perpetual state of poverty. The Blackfeet people still own 1.3 million acres of the reservation and have unresolved land fraud claims awaiting resolution by Congress since 1928. Tribal nation-building is more than providing health care and welfare which is itself inadequate and rationed out like a brick of government cheese.  Federal Indian policy is needed that follows the special treaty rights that each tribe possesses from treaties signed to make way for the white man in America. The Blackfeet Tribe signed treaties that gave the United States a vast territory stretching from the Dakota border in the east to the Rocky Mountains in the west to the Canadian border in the north to the Yellowstone River in the south. The Blackfeet 1896 Agreement reserved the Blackfeet Reservation for the Indian cattle ranchers and the Blackfeet landowners for the purpose of rebuilding the tribal economy destroyed by the deliberate extermination of tribal buffalo herds which provided food, shelter and clothing for the tribe to survive the cold winters. The Blackfeet cattle ranchers had succeeded by 1893 in the new economy by building the self-reliant tribal cattle industry for 500 tribal ranchers, 25,000 cattle, improvements to the land for ranch houses, barns, gardens, root cellars fences, and small livestock, dairy, egg production, hay, and were shipping cattle to Chicago Stockyards, selling beef and hay to the government and everyone had cash and food! Today the cattle industry is destroyed by the federal government policy of leasing land to white ranchers for a tiny lease payment for the Indian landowners inadequate for even a subsistence on the ranch. Tribal housing slums were built in town and there the people starve and die early deaths. We are outdoor people who love our country much as the white Americans love their property. Today, because of the land frauds conducted by the Bureau of Indian Affairs, we have "white treaty Indians" on our reservation, who robbed the best reservation lands and a billion dollars worth of oil, and are back to take our precious water because the white man has poisoned his own water and now needs our pure waters. We still own 1.3 million acres of prime grazing lands that produce upwards of $85 million for white ranchers living on the stolen Blackfeet lands in a white-apartheid territory called Glacier County transplanted by the State of Montana Legislature onto the Blackfeet Reservation to cover up the massive land frauds and to give the white man a void Patent-in-Fee title awarded in county court by a cattlemen judge and jury living up to the "Code of the West" which means no Indian has any rights in state courts or state laws. The Indians live in a political  "Prisoner's Dilemma" having no recourse for justice.and add to this century old injustice the United States Government "complicity" in the Indian land frauds and the fact of a century of stonewalling our land claims in Congress. What chance do we have in American Justice? I brought our claims to Congress in 2001 but our chiefs made regular delegations of diplomatic missions to officially protest the white apartheid systems on our reservation since 1928. The land frauds were exposed for a century with no removals of a single white squatter from reservation lands. Is justice only for white men in America?

PRESIDENT TRUMP'S "ART OF THE DEAL" WILL MAKE INDIANS RICH ON INDIAN RESERVATIONS

President Trump would immediately make better deals for Indian trust landowners who wish to develop their real estate holdings worth billions of dollars. Indian land contains oil, gold, uranium, coal, natural gas, mining ores, water aquifers, timber, etc. but the government has not made the Indian landowners rich as it has for white landowners not under direct trust management of federal government officials.  We, the Blackfeet Indian trust landowners, own 1.3 million acres of prime real estate next to Glacier National Park, yet we are the poorest people on the Blackfeet Reservation, while a tiny group of white ranchers, businessmen, farmers, oil men, etc. have gotten rich on our own lands while we qualify for every federal, state, county, or tribal welfare programs. Welfare is the economy of the Blackfeet Tribe! That is a shame as well as an indication of the performance of the United States Congress; the President, and Secretary of the Interior in protecting and developing Indian property to make the Indian self-reliant in the new economy as a treaty goal. DONALD TRUMP! Come to the Blackfeet Reservation and I will show you the "CROWN OF THE CONTINENT" where the next Trump Resort should be built in connection with the tax-free lands of the Blackfeet Indians for a year around resort with Glacier Park tourism in July & August [$168 million] in lodging, meals, beverage, gas, souvenirs, and the ski possibilities of Divide Mountain Ski Resort of 9,000 to 12,000 skiers on the hill at St. Mary Village, as well as snow mobile and ice fishing for winter vacationers. There are investment possibilities for bottled water plants, food and beverage processing, cattle ranching and irrigated farming on a vast scale, and ready markets for beef, bottled water, and food and beverage plants, all within the reservation land base and tax-free tribal and allotted Blackfeet lands. President Trump would immediately see the rich possibilities on many Indian reservations across the United States. My people love money too! It is a dirty lie told about Indians that we don't like money! We don't like being cheated and we don't like being treated like imbeciles either! President Trump set your ship of state toward the Indian reservations and make the Indians Rich too! Please read the "Sacred Buffalo Vision" and be warned it is a story of greed not development. I quit the "cheese-eating" Democrats and join the Trump Campaign for Rich Indians! We own 1.3 million acres of the finest land in the nation, yet we are the poorest in our own land, and it is the Bureau of Indian Affairs, Secretary of the Interior, and Presidents who are responsible for this outrage on Indian landowners! I am Bob Juneau Sr. owner of 1,000 acres of tax-free land with a river running through the property. Please President Trump, Call me for promoting  a better deal! Here is my Phone No. (406) 493-0894,

A CENTURY OF OUTRAGE, MURDERS, ROBBERY, AND USURPATION OF BLACKFEET TREATY LANDS

In 1921 the National Indian Memorial Association who are friends of the Blackfeet Indians reported the latest outrage on the Indians. It was a concerted effort by Glacier County Attorney, local white men, the Great Northern Railway, its subsidiary the Park Saddle Horse Company and owners James J. Hill, and his son Louis Hill, Swift & Armor Company, the big meat trust and its subsidiary the Portland Land & Cattle Company, United States Indian Agents F.C. Campbell, H.G. Wilson, and the Secretary of the Interior Franklin K. Lane, and Commissioner of Indian Affairs Cato Sells, a Texan, who allowed the Texas Cattle Kings trespass on the Blackfeet Reservation. Joe Sherburne, kingpin of the racketeering was the agency trader, local banker, real estate, insurance, grocery, freight, and all other money-making enterprises on the reservation. This is the so-called "agency ring" a criminal gang operating on the Blackfeet Indian Reservation by starving the Indian landowners to force their signatures on applications for "fee patents" on their [tax-free] trust land allotments, so that the Indian lands may be taxed in county court and tax deeds issued for hundreds of delinquent taxes or liens of white men filed in county court. Protests against the mass starvation of hundreds of the Blackfeet landowners caused by the Secretary of the Interior Franklin K. Lane, and Commissioner of Indian Affairs Cato Sells, a Texan who refused to eject illegal Texas cattle herds trespass on the reservation or to enforce any collection of fees or permits from white cattlemen operating illegally on the "big grass country" of the Blackfeet Indians. These land frauds are the modern day "Forced Fee Patents Cases on the Blackfeet Indian Reservation" which alienated 529,000 acres of prime grazing lands and irrigated farm lands, oil fields that produced over a billion dollars for the border-whites and oil companies. In 1979 Congress held a Hearing on Statute of Limitations Extension of the Pre-1966 Indian Money Damage Claims, and Mr. Forrest Gerard, Assistant Secretary for Indian Affairs, Department of the Interior, Testified under Oath, That: By the end of summer of 1979 we had uncovered over 4,500 Indian claims, but potential claims continued to arrive and by December of 1970 the number of cases reached a grand total of 9,768, but our search experience leads us to believe that another 5,00 or more claims in the field may not yet be inventoried. The 2415 Indian claims program has affected a significant number of our [white] citizens in this country. In many of these suits we are dealing with regaining Indian trust titles to these Indian lands in which [white] Patent-in-Fee are holding by void titles. A great majority of the thousands of legal heirs to deceased allottees and trust patentees are the dispossessed heirs to an estimated 100 million acres of allotted Indian lands on Indian reservations across the United States. Another problem is the complicity of the Government in these Indian Money Damage Claims presenting the public spectacle of the United States Government suing itself on behalf of its Indian wards. President Reagan decided not only not to litigate the Indian claims, but also refused to send the Indian claims to Congress for resolution by restoring Indian trust land titles and just compensation for over a century of illegal trespass by the State of Montana and Glacier County border-whites. The Blackfeet people have lived in tribal poverty for over a century due to encroachment by border-whites in the Sovereign Blackfeet Nation.
