WATER COMPACT BRINGS MORE POVERTY, DESPAIR, DISEASE AND HOPELESSNESS

United Nations declaration that health is a state of complete physical, mental and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity, and that these principles are basic to happiness, harmonious relations and security of all people. Indians in Montana die at 50 years on average while white citizens live to 70 years on average, while the most recent statistics show Indian children commit suicide at higher rates than white children, and Indians live in a state of poverty in tribal housing slums with high unemployment rates above 50% on average. Blackfeet children suffer a juvenile diabetes epidemic caused by a lack of proper diet. Indian Health Service doctors told me our children do not get three good meals per day, they have rotten teeth because dentists do not fix teeth and pull teeth of children so they have already lost their permanent teeth as teens and it leads to heart disease and lung cancer later in life, and that they will need kidney transplants by age of 20 years. The Blackfeet Tribal Business Council has expenditures in the hundreds of millions of dollars each year from federal poverty grants, which federal funds have become the tribal welfare economy that supports tribal government but does not reach the tribal poor due to council pilfering of the poor funds. A forensic audit of tribal council spending found corruption in every tribal program. Council members and their families were taking thousands of dollars per week in 'salary advances' that were never paid back while the chief had a $350,000 culture fund to pay his blackmailers who caught his incest and rapes of Indian women at the tribal office. One council member had 35,000 acres of tribal lands sub-leased to white men. The white men in Glacier and pondera counties are living on stolen Blackfeet land allotments got by forged land titles issued by the Bureau of Indian Affairs, and who profit $142,000,000 per year in sales of cows and crops on the stolen allotted lands of original Blackfeet allottees robbed in 1918-1922. Blackfeet claims include a billion dollars of oil revenues stolen by the Great Northern Railway owners, father & son robber barons James J. Hill and Louis Hill who was still robbing Blackfeet World War Two veterans while they were fighting the Nazi's and Japan. Nationwide there are 17,000 forced fee patents claims to 100 million acres of allotted Indian lands on Indian reservations across the United States, a vast system of white-apartheid still in existence in white territory called "reservation/counties" transplanted on Indian reservations by void patent-in-fee titles for which there is no warrant in the Constitution of the United States. The Bureau of Indian Affairs is a rogue federal agency used by corporations to exploit Indian land and resources by leases approved by the Bureau of Indian Affairs in Washington D.C. In 1979 Forrest Gerard, the Assistant Secretary for Indian Affairs testified under oath to the Senate Select Committee on Indian Affairs that, "The United States Government would have to sue itself on behalf of its Indian wards." The United States Government was complicit; it had robbed allotted Indian lands and resources, calling it a "public spectacle." I call it a world class crime against the humanity of the Indian people deserving of sanctions by the World Court against the states of Montana and the Dakotas. Therefore, since the conspiracy of the century was exposed in 1979, the western states got a bill in Congress to force Indian landowners to accept state jurisdiction and water compact settlements for which the Indian landowners had no representation or legal assistance in defending treaty rights over states rights. The preamble to the Blackfeet water compact settlement "extinguishes" all past, present and future Blackfeet land and water claims, "forever."! The Blackfeet Tribal Business Council approved this water compact in 2009 in secret council meetings with state, federal and Congressional representatives. It seems they all had a vested interest in burying the century old forced fee patent claims since tribal council members, the Secretary of the Interior, and state of Montana are all defendants in the conspiracy. Our ancestors treaty is the only reason that we exist today as a treaty people and the only reason we still have our own reservation, and if we do not fight for our treaty rights today, then our future generations will not exist as treaty Indians. If, on the other hand, it is the secret goal of white-oriented Blackfeet politicians to turn the Blackfeet people into white citizens, the water compact is the perfect instrument to kill off all of our century old claims and then the white-oriented tribal politicians appear on the other side of the water compact $420,000,000 richer and whiter as President Joe McKay and his white tribal politicians with a new tribal constitution! The water compact states quite clearly that all past, present and future Blackfeet allotted land claims are "extinguished, forever," That was the decision of Chairman Earl Old Peron and Vice-Chairman Sassy Running Crane and the tribal council to end our treaty rights to all of the reservation for the exclusive use and occupancy of the Blackfeet Indians. Chief White Calf told the United States Government to remove the white men from the reservation; "they have no Indian blood in their veins." If we had a treaty right to all of our reservation in the 1896 Agreement, then we still have a treaty right to all of our land in 2017! We are still wards of the United States Government and if we go to federal or state court to defend our water rights and forced patents claims, it is the Secretary of the Interior and the Attorney General of the United States who must defend us. The tribal council dim-shits were unemployed bummers before they got on the council and they will go back to the commodity house when they are all defeated in the next tribal council election. Chairman Barnes is a new-age Indian in a cavalry hat clueless to Blackfeet treaty rights, a hardware store manager prior to his election. Chairman Old Person was a special pet of white men and BIA, a tribal leader who had a "one man tribal water department" while negotiating the water compact. In 1928 Chief Rides-At-The-Door told the Senate Indian Affairs Committee "This reservation belongs to the Indians by the allotment; you should give me the same privilege as yours, to have the full say of my own land in my own country." The Blackfeet have been poor since the massive land frauds in 1918-1922 of allotted Blackfeet lands and robbery of the self-reliant Blackfeet cattle industry by white ranchers. There is not enough land for both white men and Blackfeet on our reservation, we will remain poor, forever, if we do not remove the white man from our stolen lands. The water compact money will be wasted and stolen by the tribal council and the despair and early deaths of Blackfeet children and tribal poverty will continue in tribal housing slums. There is nothing in the water compact for the people-no per capita-the Salish-Kootenai got $12,000 each and loans for cattle and business development. Where is our benefit from the water compact? It is a dumb deal done by dumber council members. Vote no on the water compact referendum, it puts all of the money into the tribal council families and nothing for us tribal members and trust landowners and cattle ranchers.  Bob Juneau Sr. a Blackfeet patriot
