Forgery is commonly used by criminals to authenticate false documents and land titles like the trust land titles of 17,000 trust patents of Indian allottees nationwide that were tossed in the trash can by President Reagan in 1983. Among the thousands of forced patents of individual Indian allottees are hundreds of Blackfeet landowners starved to death in 1918-1922 to "force" them to sign consent documents to transfer their land to border-whites in state courts in complicity with United States Government trustees of Indian property. In 1919 the Montana Legislature enacted land titles called Patent-in-Fees to transfer 605 Blackfeet landowners to border-whites in Glacier and Pondera counties created within the sovereign borders of the Blackfeet Indian Reservation. These white-apartheid territories had neither the consent of the Indians nor the prior approval of Congress required by sacred treaties between the United States and Indian tribes. The white-apartheid nation of South Africa suffered economic sanctions until it ended apartheid with the release of Nelson Mandela but the state of Montana maintains white-apartheid territories called "reservation/counties" extending white rule over the Indians and maintaining jurisdiction over stolen Indian property held by treaty with the United States. The secretary of the Interior has approved the Blackfeet Water Compact Settlement Act which extinguishes all Blackfeet land claims including the forced patents of Blackfeet allotments, water rights, oil & gas, and resources stolen by border-whites and the state of Montana estimated worth of a billion dollars and 325,250 acres of the most productive lands of the Blackfeet reservation producing $67,000,000 in sales of cows and crops on former Blackfeet land allotments annually while the descendants of those original Blackfeet allottees live in poverty in tribal housing slums. It is a human rights issue. Our people never got a day in court or justice for over a century and the water compact extinguishes our claims, "forever." The 1896 Agreement reserves tribal grazing lands for the exclusive use and occupancy of Blackfeet cattle ranchers and Indian Reorganization Act of 1934 authorizes the Indians to form tribal cooperatives to "cut out the middleman" white ranchers who lease allotted lands for $5 per acre for the best grazing lands in the northwest. In the water compact free trade of the Indians is usurped by white landowners and border-towns awarded first right of refusal of any business deal consummated by Blackfeet landowners to market bottled water, beef, agricultural products to global markets. Chinese Government Purchasers were on the reservation offering to buy bottled water, beef, or any type of product produced by the Blackfeet Indians and called us Indians "relatives." Las Vegas Casinos are interested in our pure water resources flowing out of Glacier National Park, the last of millennium glacier water. The water compact subordinates our treaty rights to a group of border-whites who are in an illegal trespass on the reservation for over a century. It would only take a first year law student to win a massive tort claim against the state of Montana and the United States Government if Indians were not under white rule. Therefore, we must petition world nations and people to boycott Montana corporations and white ranchers and farmers who are responsible for this human rights violation. We, the Indian people, are not allowed to bring our grievances to the World Court, and remain under the trust of the secretary of the Interior. If the Indians do not get our stolen lands returned with just compensation for a century of loss of revenues, and are not allowed to sell Indian products in the global markets then why should white landowners and corporations be allowed access to global markets. We appeal for justice for a group of Indians who have not received justice in Congress or the courts of the United States and we are about to be annihilated economically for another century of starvation and epic poverty in the water compact forced upon us by the United States and state of Montana. In this world economy freedom equals "money power" and we have no money, it is stolen by white-apartheid in Montana and the United States of America. Bob Juneau Sr. Blackfeet patriot.
