In 1999 a Survey of Forced Fee Patents was made by Bob Juneau and Ed Spotted Eagle on the lists of Blackfeet Heirs to the Original Blackfeet Allottees who were robbed by white men in Glacier & Pondera County Court for tax deeds and liens of white men. Chairman Old Person denied and rejected us even when we forced him to sign tribal resolution #224-2001 passed unanimously by the tribal council, Earl told the senate lawyer to hold up our claims. and our claims The water compact signed in 2015 by Chairman Barnes, forever extinguishes our claims and that is why I oppose the water compact. It extinguishes our allotted land claims that are pending in the Senate Indian Affairs Committee since we brought them there in 2001. Chief Earl Old Person has had 15 years to travel to Washington D.C. to represent our claims but has refused to help us at any time past or future.
Here is a partial list of the "Blackfeet Allottees Petition" to the "United States Senate Indian Affairs Committee for Redress of Century Old Grievances" in the Forced Patenting of our family lands.

He did give his niece a check for $68,000 to travel around the nation with him to collect tribal records from the BIA in Washington D.C. so I guess we don't count unless he is using you and he told the tribal council it was just a bunch of breeds and Cree's anyway, and who cares about us? The Blackfeet Water Compact extinguishes all of these family land claims, FOREVER!!!
Submitted by Bob Juneau Sr. Blackfeet Patriot in need of political support of forced patent heirs.
