"INDIGENOUS PEOPLE DAY" MOCKS MONTANA'S USURPATION OF THE BLACKFEET RESERVATION

ECONOMIC PARASITES are the border-whites who have moved onto the reservation and set up a colony of Emigrants from the States squatting on stolen Indian lands under supposed trust protection of the President of the United States. The "reservation/county" was "created" by the Montana Legislature in 1919 to enact Patent-in-Fee land titles to stolen Blackfeet Original Allotments severed in Glacier County Court. The Void Patent-in-Fee white landowners operate an illegal underground economy within exterior Blackfeet Reservation boundaries established by a treaty with the United States. Mrs. Mabel Monroe-Bond, a one half Blackfoot woman, who had her land robbed by the United States Indian Agent, and Joe Sherburne, who was the federally licensed merchant, banker, real estate, insurance, and grocer,at the Blackfeet Agency. Mrs. Monroe reported to Commissioner of Indian Affairs John Collier in 1934; "All of our money goes through his bank, and they are all linked up like a log chain-the agent, Joe Sherburne, Indian Office, Great Northern Railway, Swift & Armor, big-sheep companies and Texas Cattle Kings. They have built up a nice little "Tammany Hall" in Browning, Joe Sherburne now owns most of the land and the big-meat trust has the rest. The Blackfeet landowners who resisted signing fee patents were thrown in the agency jail and when called in by the agent were later framed in Glacier county court and many Indians were sent to the penitentiary or the state insane asylum. Legal guardians appointed by the county attorney signed the application for fee patents on behalf of the Indians. We were sorry to find out our agent was secretly prosecuting us when he was supposed to be our protector. I tried to hire a lawyer but I was told it was illegal to file suit, it was the first time I knew robbery could be "outlawed." The Five Year Plan of Agent Campbell is to starve us out, burn us out, kill us off, and now our good land is nearly gone. Where shall we go? Will there be a wholesale exodus of the Children of the Sun into the strange lands of the white man. I wish we had a chance to live. Not so long ago we were quite well off and contented. We had cattle, horses, livable homes, and one natural precious resource, our grass lands grew in abundance, bunch grass grew knee deep and made plenty of winter feed for our cattle herds. Wild hay and stock raising was our only economy but our agent is a political grafter and Joe Sherburne's political machine has ruined us." Today, Mrs. Monroe's heirs are dispossessed heirs to her original land allotment robbed by Joe Sherburne in 1921 and all hope is lost for justice today.
