WATER COMPACT APPROVAL WILL "EXTINGUISH" ALL PAST AND FUTURE BLACKFEET CLAIMS

The "atomizing" of tribal land and water rights into 3,600 individual Indian trust allotments and water rights to water underlying their trust property and a share in tribal water reservoirs and tribal grazing lands reserved for the exclusive use and occupancy of the Blackfeet cattle ranchers in the 1896 Agreement/Article Five, which clause provides "special treaty rights to the Blackfeet cattle ranchers and federal protection of the successful, self-reliant Blackfeet cattle industry" developed by tribal ranchers according to United States Indian Service Inspector C.C. Duncan's Report in 1893 "500 cattle ranchers, 25,000 cattle, shipping steers to Chicago Stockyards, selling beef and hay to the Government, and building ranch homes, barns, chicken coops, vegetable gardens, root cellars, fences, and improvements on their ranch property, and "cash for all needful things." Can we, the modern day, educated Blackfeet Indians say that we have cash for all needful things that our ancestors had in 1893? We live in "chicken coop housing", with no cattle unless you are a tribal council family who take the "tribal land cake", Our claims are for the hundreds of "Forced Fee Patents Cases on the Blackfeet Indian Reservation" compiled by the Bureau of Indian Affairs for Congress in 1980 to restore titles to our stolen individual land allotments which claims we brought to Congress. The Honorary Chiefs Council asked me to help the people with their "land problems" which turned out to be the forced fee patents cases, which we brought to the Senate Indian Affairs Committee who told us to get a tribal council resolution for the senate committee to hold hearings on the forced patents here in Browning, but Chairman Old Person and his BIA handlers ran me out of tribal government-I was fired! In 2001 we finally got tribal resolution #224-2001 passed while Earl was busy in Washington D.C. traveling with his niece on a long trip. He was so angry at us he threatened Ed Spotted Eagle and me with voodoo he got from a black prostitute, but he was unable to use his voodoo to rescind the resolution so he told the senate lawyer the Indians were not interested in pursuing their claims and there in EOP's "rape office" our forced patents claims were killed by your chief not mine! I don't look up to incest in tribal leaders. My belief is Earl was blackmailed by the BIA for incest because he has never been charged by the F.B.I. although they all know including the county attorney and United States Attorney in Billings of his incest on at least two nieces with children produced from his and other tribal officials incest and sex crimes which they get away with because tribal court is under their hiring and firing authority because we have no separation of powers in our constitution but have a council dictatorship. Did Earl give a shit about the tribal employees families freezing in their cars because he wouldn't sign payroll, but instead went to Great Falls to give that other famous raper Bill Cosby a Blackfeet honoring ceremony with an Indian name. All of this intrigue merely to extinguish our forced patents claims and so all the $600 million will go to the tribal council and nothing for the legal heirs to original Blackfeet allottees robbed by white men in Cut Bank and Valier. Institutional Equity is a legal requirement in Indian claims cases that all parties to the claims must be heard! I was tossed out of the water compact meeting in the tribal office by Chairman Old Person-that should tell you about your chairman who kept you poor for 55 years or is it 60 years now? The rest of the political families have followed the original tribal council in 1935 which produced chairman Wright Hagerty and 13 other original tribal council members who had incomes of over $100,000 in 1936, except for Wright Hagerty who had an income of over $500,000 on oil wells he and Great Northern Railway owner Louis Hill robbed from the Blackfeet Tribe amounting to one billion dollars all told since 1936. The claims include a billion dollars for tribal oil stolen but that claim was rejected because tribal council members were part of the racketeering that allowed whites to rob us blind.
VOTE NO ON THE WATER COMPACT WHICH WILL EXTINGUISH OUR FORCED FEE PATENTS CLAIMS AND GIVE THE LANDS AND WATER RIGHTS TO BORDER-WHITES FOREVER WHILE THE TRIBAL COUNCIL HOGS OUR CLAIMS MONEY OF $600 MILLION.

"MONTANA TERRORISTS ON THE BLACKFEET INDIAN RESERVATION SINCE 1863"

President Grant sent a message to Congress after the Baker Massacre of Chief Heavy Runner's band by the confederate Montana Militia and U.S. Army officers. The Inspector General's Office reported "General DeTrobriand makes a report on the conditions of Indian affairs from which it will be seen that the reports of Indian depredations  are exaggerated, and a second report of the date of November 26, from which it appears that the conditions of Indian affairs is by no means alarming." The drunken border-whites and soldiers murdered 164 children, elders, and women in the sneak attack on a peaceful treaty Indian village, and robbed 7,800 buffalo robes and 1,300 horses. President Grant protested to Congress that the treaties were violated by Montana Territory settlers encroaching upon Indian treaty lands; "We have an instance of this in the Territory of Montana, where the recent attack was made, the very capital of the Territory is located upon the land to which the Indian title has never been extinguished and which has never been formally opened by the government for settlement. The principal aim of the Indian Office during the past year has been to inspire the Indian tribe's with the belief that the strictest good faith would be kept with them, and that they should be protected from all unlawful encroachments upon their rights.The treaties made were duly ratified and as I confess myself unable to see how a more complete obligation on the part of the government of the United States could be created by law, I think the Indians may well be pardoned if they regard the failure to carry out the provisions of those treaties as a breach of faith on our part." The Board of Indian Commissioners appointed by President Grant reported, "The history of the border-white man's connection with the Indians is a sickening record of murder, outrage, robbery, and wrongs. They proclaim death to the Indians at all times, incite the lower classes to violence, and protect the perpetration of their darkest deeds and shield them from the justice of their crimes." Border-whites did not end their encroachment onto the reservations in the modern era because the Montana Legislature created a white-apartheid territory on Indian reservations called "reservation/counties" and border-whites continued to exploit the economy of the Indians to this day without any justice for the Indians or settlement of ancient claims or removal of border-whites from the reservations. In 1983 President Reagan sought to extinguish all Indian claims to the allotted lands robbed on the Indian Reservations. The Blackfeet are a Sovereign Indian Tribe since the 1855 Treaty with the United States of America, while the Montana confederates told United States Indian Agent Wright that they "Did not care for U.S. Law" and "Did not hold with the treaty" and would do as they pleased in Montana Territory. The Water Compact signed by Chairman Old Person will award trust title to the Glacier county border-whites for their water rights claims on the Blackfeet Reservation but there is nothing in the compact for the Blackfeet landowners, who own the Blackfeet Reservation. The water compact is forever, so we will be poor forever because the border-whites own title to our stolen lands. I was thrown out of the tribal council water compact by Chairman Old Person for bringing up our claims to recover our stolen allotted lands. The tribal council boycotted Blackfeet landowners for the simple reason that money for their trips and families blinded them to justice for the Blackfeet people.

WATER COMPACT STARTS NEW WATER WARS ON BLACKFEET RESERVATION

Remember the republican answer to the economy was "drill baby drill" for oil back then but today it is water wells that are going to be drilled over the reservation as white landowners drain the aquifer underneath our allotted and tribal lands for sales of bottled water to global water markets. The water compact denies the Blackfeet Tribe and allotted landowners the right to market our water to global water markets except as we get permission from our white neighbors, who got a "first right of refusal" to take away water projects from Blackfeet water developers. Chinese Government buyers were in the tribal office offering to purchase drinking water for export to China but the water compact will not allow us to capture these economic opportunities except as the white man approves of it. Is this Russia or the United States? Or Montana? A Bureau of Indian Affairs report in 1931 cited "The land status map of the reservation indicates pronounced tendency for the more valuable areas, particularly along water courses, to pass into a Patent-in-Fee status [border-whites] ahead of the less desirable, drier areas. This indicates a desire on the part of the white stock owner to acquire title to the watering places to be used in connection with the leasing of adjoining [Blackfeet] range lands. This condition must be given careful consideration in the formation and execution of any range management plans. As is indicated by a study of the location of the Patent-in-Fee lands in relation to the areas under grazing lease [Blackfeet allotments], the [white] owners of alienated Blackfeet lands are in a position to greatly influence and in some cases to absolutely control the use of adjoining [Blackfeet] allotted range lands. There are at least two Patent-in-Fee allotments in every township on the reservation which gives [political-economic] control over the entire reservation by white men in an exclusive white territory on the reservation. The area of the Blackfeet Reservation and Glacier County are coincident except that Glacier county includes eight townships comprising a narrow strip on the east, that are not a part of the reservation, and the reservation includes seven townships that form a part of Pondera county on the south. To date of August 20, 1930, Patents-in-Fee had been issued covering 295,422 acres and this acreage is increasing at the rate of 6,000 acres per year covering 20% of the reservation." The 2015 tribal/allotted water compact gives legal title to the hundreds of white patent-in-Fee landowners in addition to the water courses and water holes already stolen from the Indians. The robbery of the Blackfeet Cattle industry by Glacier county border-whites left the Indian cattle ranchers in poverty for a century. Is there anything left to steal from us? Drill baby drill is coming your way when the border-whites drain the aquifers under your property which is legal under the "rule of capture" federal laws. Do you have money to drill water wells to protect your underground water supplies or will they turn your land into a desert, dry and windy. The tribal council is bought and paid for by the state and federal government cash payments and the hell with the Blackfeet landowners and cattle ranchers, and all because we have nobody to represent us in Congress. As I see it there is no alternative for the trust landowners and heirs of the original allottees robbed by white men except to vote no on the water compact until we get our stolen land, water and oil returned with just compensation for a century of robbing the Blackfeet people. Tribal lawyers represent the tribe not us and do the bidding of the tribal council who do not give a damn about us landowners and support white men who they know robbed their own tribal members. Say no to the Blackfeet water compact! Chairman Old Person had me thrown out of the water compact meeting for bringing up the forced patents, and he told the Senate Indian Affairs lawyer to hold up our forced patents land claims. Who does he represent? What about hydro-power sites on all reservation streams, wind power, solar power, mini-hydro power technology uses the creek bed to generate power. Did they give that away too? I have spent 35 years in defending allotted land claims but I fear the chief and council have defeated me unless we boycott the water compact until our land and water rights are restored and border-whites removed to their "reservation" of Montana, go home emigrants!

NO HOPE FOR THE INDIANS IN AMERICA

South Africa did not invent economic apartheid! The robber-barons in the United States used race hatred of white Americans to systematically exploit the Indians land and resources to this day. The labor of African slaves built the economy as much as the "pioneers" who "settled" Indian lands with no consent of the Indians who were victims of American genocide. The political emancipation of Indians by treaty and freedom of African-Americans by the constitution did not stop America's robber-barons from exploiting these groups based on race. The structures of economic apartheid are the special privileges "given" to the richest Americans, but Congress denied basic voting rights to Black Americans until it became apparent that the riots were an economic threat to the richest Americans. The Indians need their treaty lands restored and the Black people need special reparations for centuries of forced labor that built America. Congress protects America's robber-barons by tax breaks and economic policy that exploits cheap labor of  the poor reaching into the white middle-class today. There is the solution! Nothing is ever changed for the better of all Americans until the crisis hits the white middle class; who elect the robber barons shills in Congress and who protect corporations from prosecution for mass murders of innocent citizens and tax payers by cancers caused by pollution of drinking water supplies and corporate farms that pour pesticides and fertilizers on the crops that leak into the aquifers and poison municipal water supplies for millions of American city dwellers. Robber barons pollute the land and exploit the labor of all Americans, and the truth of the matter is nobody cared so long as the damages were confined to the Black and Hispanic minority, Indian reservations, and poor white Americans. Indian reservations and ghettos are the battleground for new economic wars over who "owns" America. In 1890 railroad robber baron James J. Hill arrived in Blackfoot Country and commenced to exploit and kill the Indians that has never stopped; his son Louis Hill murdered hundreds of Blackfeet landowners in 1918 to steal a billion dollar oil formation for his railroad. Congress passed laws that assisted him in exploiting the Indians oil. Congress "gave" James J. Hill 400,000,000 acres of public land for his railroad which he used to exploit the ignorant farmers who believed his posters that directed them to rich "Indian land" but he really stole America. We, the Blackfeet landowners, live under the political and economic tyranny of western states congressmen. White middle class Americans now live under the tyranny of Wall Street Bankers. We are not so different after all because the rich one-percent robber barons have created hell on earth for millions of Americans who believed Wall Street hype of a proven criminal class who got away with exploiting fellow white-Americans. American Muslims are under attack by corporate America because they stopped President Bush's raid on middle eastern nations oil supplies in the name of "FREEDOM"  but it turned out his political base lost the oil to China, Germany, Britain, and Russia, while Bush's corporate oil base is left with cheap oil on world markets thanks to the greed of the conspirators. "Dick" Cheney profited $35,000,000 in "blood money" of our dead troops and veterans with PTSD; untreated and imprisoned and committing suicide daily while chick-shits like Bush and Cheney ducked the war in Vietnam. Cheney got Halliburton stock for starting the war and keeping it going for decades now. The evil mix of greed and racism has overtaken Congress and the American economy and devastated all middle class Americans. Bob Juneau Sr. Blackfeet Patriot

ECONOMIC-APARTHEID SYSTEMS INCORPORATED ON INDIAN RESERVATIONS

What is "economic-apartheid" and how did the white man get on the Indian reservations? All Indian treaties ban the white man from occupying Indian treaty lands as the purpose of signing treaties! Why else would the Indians sign any treaty with white men except to get rid of them? Montana border-whites murdered 6,000 out of the Blackfeet population of 7,800. Yes, it was murders, rapes, and scalping of Blackfoot women, children, and old people while the warriors were away on a winter buffalo hunt. The Montana Militia drunkards killed 164 of peaceful Chief Heavy Runner's band in the winter of 1869, robbing 7,800 buffalo robes, 1,300 horses, and a supply of buffalo meat for winter provisions. It was always plunder and pillaging that border-whites excelled at including Texas Cattle Kings and Confederate soldiers loyal to the "Confederate States of America" while the Blackfeet Tribe had a treaty of peace, friendship, and amity with the "United States of America." The U.S. is bound by treaty to protect the Indians from depredations of border-whites, but the U.S. Army joined in the slaughter of the Indians. At the end of the physical genocide period, 1860-1890, there were only 1,811 Blackfeet left alive out of a population of 7,800 at white contact in 1863. A new system of genocide had to replace the massacre, famine, small-pox, whiskey trade, and removals to smaller tracts of land as border-whites encroached on Indian reservations. National Indian Organizations were set up by influential and powerful white men and women who saved the Indians from genocide of border-whites and got laws passed to stop the massive Indian land frauds by border-whites, but no Indian land has been restored to Indian ownership, therefore Indians suffer economic-apartheid. The State of Montana incorporated stolen Blackfeet land allotments into state jurisdiction in county courts by tax deeds, although the definition of Indian trust land is "tax-free lands of Indians" inalienable by states.  The newly concocted white-apartheid system incorporated "reservation/county" forms of state government grafted onto the reservation as exclusive white territories which denied the Indian voting rights in establishing Glacier and Pondera Counties on stolen Blackfeet property owned by Indians and held under the 1896 Agreement/Article Five, which also guaranteed the continued success of the self-reliant Blackfeet Cattle Industry made of 500 Blackfeet cattle ranchers, 25,000 cattle and a self sufficient tribal economy. The reservation cattle industry usurped by border-whites produces $100 million annually in sales of cows and crops on the stolen Blackfeet land allotments and the Glacier County "oil" men robbed a billion dollars worth of oil, and are now in the process of stealing our water rights with the help of western congressmen who make the laws we all must live under, even a system of economic-apartheid in America. In other words, greed trumps the sacred word of America!
