BLACKFEET TRIBAL BUSINESS COUNCIL GUILTY OF TRIBAL GENOCIDE

BLACKFEET TRIBAL BUSINESS COUNCIL GUILTY OF TRIBAL GENOCIDE PRACTICES

The United Nations Genocide Convention defined a legal definition of genocide whereby a government or nation aims to plan, calculate, and implement, “destruction of personal security, liberty, health, dignity, and lives of individuals belonging to such groups.” The tribal poor ranks are growing of tribal members who do not possess political influence, clout, or legal means to challenge the Blackfeet Tribal Business Council actions, policies, and resolutions that brought about the “disintegration of the political, social, and economic structures of individual Blackfeet trust landowners, cattle ranchers, business owners, and others who are victims of the tribal courts decisions influenced by members of the tribal council in protecting their family members from prosecution for their crimes against tribal members who are not political families. Chairman Old Person protected his son, relatives and in-laws from tribal prosecutions and he even wrote to a federal judge requesting “leniency” for his nephew convicted in federal court of raping an infant. Chief Old Person was found guilty of incest by a Blackfeet traditional court but they had no power to punish him because he controls tribal courts. Therefore, the Blackfeet tribe has an incestuous chief to our collective shame. The Blackfeet tribal council corrupts the morals of the tribe by preventing the prosecution and conviction of political families by their absolute power over the people by concentrated powers contained in the constitution approved by the United States Government. The Blackfeet people “own” the reservation including approximately 897,000 acres of trust lands owned by individual Blackfeet Indians with 800,000 acre feet of water rights. These are individually owned lands usurped by tribal council and Bureau of Indian Affairs conspiracy to rob the revenues produced by these lands by third-party leasers who sub-lease to white ranchers and pocket millions of dollars due to trust landowners. This is a criminal conspiracy “preventing the preservation and economic development” of allotted landowners. The Cobell Case land buy-back program is spreading the tribal council/BIA conspiracy to rob allotted lands since once the ‘tribe’ gets ownership of ‘fragments’ of your family allotment, the tribal council attaches it to tribal lands and leases it to white ranchers through tribal council operatives for large profits while you get $5 per acre lease payment for the best grazing land in Montana. Tribal council land board chairman Archie St. Goddard was cited in an F.B.I. report for leasing up 35,000 acres of tribal land while an elected member of the Blackfeet Tribal Business Council. The tribal constitution contains a “Preference” clause that allows tribal council members to lease tribal lands and tribal oil reserves to corporations. Wright Hagerty, the first tribal chairman got rich by leasing tribal oil reserves to himself and sub-leasing tribal oil to oil corporations profiting millions of dollars for himself. Tribal council member Iliff McKay got a 100 year lease of 40 acres on the west end of Browning that still has 60 years to run. Under the tribal constitution preference clause all of these are legal actions by tribal council members. This is how tribal politicians “outlaw justice.” Slow-Death Measures genocide kills slowly by poverty, joblessness, disease, malnutrition, high unemployment, corruption, and criminal conspiracy by crooked politicians. Nothing is accomplished by changing the tribal constitution, everything can be accomplished by a revolution of the people. Our children are dying, our youth have no alternatives to drug and alcohol abuse, and the people are living in poverty in tribal housing slums. They are the faces of tribal council genocide.

Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg recently toured the Blackfeet Indian Reservation

Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg recently toured the Blackfeet Indian Reservation and apparently was appalled by what he saw, stating, “Settlers came, took land through war-made Blackfeet dependent on state, U.S. gov’t forced the Blackfeet to adopt a tribal government (constitution) that lacks checks & balances, independent tribal courts, judges are fired by council, leading to corruption in council that allows council relatives to avoid being charged or convicted of crimes. The (reservation) economy can’t thrive without fair government; drugs & alcohol abuse is rampant. Blackfeet babies are born dependent on drugs-50 out of 96 babies were born in past year drug dependent, life expectancy is 20 years less than whites, poverty, no access to quality food, is causing starvation and obesity. Things improve when people get personal freedom all people strive for.” The United Nations Genocide Convention, 1944, defined “SLOW-DEATH MEASURES GENOCIDE” AS “Any policy undertaken with the intent of bringing about the dissolution and death and ultimate disappearance of a targeted human group as such by subjecting a targeted people to conditions of life which, owing to lack of proper housing, clothing, food, hygiene, and medical care, are likely to result in the death of individuals, deprivation of the means of livelihood, by confiscation, looting, curtailment of work, and denial of housing and supplies otherwise available to the other inhabitants of the territory concerned.” It is my contention that a criminal conspiracy exists between certain members of the Blackfeet Tribal Business Council and the Blackfeet Agency of the Bureau of Indian Affairs to defraud thousands of Blackfeet trust landowners of revenues generated by leasing of allotted and tribal lands through “third-party” enrolled Blackfeet leasers of trust lands under the administration and control of the tribal council and BIA for $5 per acre for the best grazing and farm lands in Montana. This is how individual Blackfeet trust landowners get robbed. Glacier and Pondera counties generate approximately $142,000,000 in sales of livestock and crops while the Indians get pennies. Blackfeet cattle ranchers own treaty rights to graze their cattle on reserved tribal grazing lands, but the land is leased by tribal council operatives and sub-leased to white ranchers & farmers for $5 per acre to satisfy the greed of tribal council members and Bureau of Indian Affairs officers. I have E-Mailed Secretary of the Interior Zinke to investigate the criminal acts of federal employees in the Blackfeet Agency, Bureau of Indian Affairs in the leasing of individual allotted lands owned by Blackfeet Indians. The individual Indians own 897,000 acres of the best grazing lands in the state, yet are the poorest on their own reservation. I published a book, THE SACRED BUFFALO VISION, available on Amazon.Com that exposes the corruption in the tribal council, Bureau of Indian Affairs, and corporations that led to the horrid conditions witnessed by Mr. Zuckerberg in his visit to the Blackfeet Indian Reservation. President Trump, please remove your crooks from our reservation! Bob Juneau Sr. a Blackfeet patriot.

WHO 'WON' THE BLACKFEET CLAIMS FOR THE BLACKFEET LANDOWNERS?

In 1918-1922 the border-whites hiding on reservation boundaries were planning and intending to take 156,000 acres of newly discovered oil fields on the northeast boundary and irrigated farm lands on the Blackfeet Indian Reservation developed with over $2,000,000 of tribal dollars for the exclusive benefit of white men, who considered the Blackfeet reservation, "The best range for cattle in the state of Montana and larger [white] owners of stock are looking toward Glacier County as a place to fatten stock for the eastern markets." The theft of a billion dollars of oil underlying the reservation and allotted lands stolen by white men, oil companies, and the officials of the Bureau of Indian Affairs, a rogue government agency responsible for hundreds of murders of Blackfeet landowners in connection with white men in Glacier and Pondera counties. 80% of the county land base lies within the original exterior boundaries of the sovereign Blackfeet Indian Reservation. Those 325,250 acres of white-owned patent-in-fee lands along with a billion dollars worth of oil claims are now cancelled by the water compact settlement. It is pure laziness that caused the tribal council to agree to cancel our just claims and compensation estimated @ $600,000,000 in allotted land claims and a billion dollars of tribal oil reserves for a claim that is $1.6 billion dollars today. The council 'settled' for $420,000,000 and they officially recognized the forged fee patent land titles taken from our murdered ancestors carried out right in the agency jail where many Blackfeet allottees were tortured and died rather than sign their X mark on a forged trust land title "application for a fee patent" or little children were forced by the agency superintendent to sign away their trust land allotments to pay Joe Sherburne, the frontier Nazi directly responsible for the murders of hundreds of Blackfeet original allottees for their allotted lands. This is the 'blood-money' claims of thousands of the Blackfeet allottee heirs of today. In 1921 Chief Wolf Plume, Young Man Chief, Black Weasel, and Bob Hamilton were boarding the train at Browning when superintendent McFatridge, a mass murderer of Blackfeet elders, men, women, and children, brought the agency police under Joe Brown, agency employee and threw the Blackfeet chiefs in jail until the eastbound train passed to Washington D.C. so the next day Bob Hamilton boarded the train at Cut Bank, a railroad town and successfully got the patents cancelled and saved our allotted lands. Later the BIA-white man-Blackfeet 'middlemen' concocted a forced patents conspiracy exposed by the chiefs and Bob Hamilton, who worked for the chiefs as interpreter and representative in tribal issues. Bob Hamilton telegraphed from Washington D.C. that the claims were won and that the Blackfeet chiefs had stood up for their people and would be remembered as leaders who were not under the influence of the Bureau of Indian Affairs and able to win their own land claims and preserved the reservation land base set by the 1896 Agreement-1.5 million acres. All that is gone now with the settlement signed by Chairman Old Person in 2009 while we were in Washington D.C. fighting for the allotted land claims now "owned" by Glacier & Pondera landowners. There is your tribal chief 'created' by the Bureau of Indian Affairs as a BIA political operative who could sabotage tribal land and oil claims and that is just what happened in the water compact. In 1982 tribal elders asked me to help them with their 'land problems' which turned out to be the forced patents and murders of hundreds of original Blackfeet allottees and heirs who remain uncompensated 'forever' under the water compact settlement. I am calling for an investigation of the existing land lease policy concerning tribal and allotted trust lands which diverts tribal and allotted landowners revenues to white landowners by sub-leasing tribal and allotted lands through Blackfeet 'middlemen' tribal council members and officials of the Bureau of Indian Affairs. I want the cattle ranchers and allotted land owners to have a say in the distribution of any claims money. I have written Secretary of the Interior Ryan Zinke on behalf of trust landowners to form an allotted trust landowners "SECRETARIAL REVIEW OF FEDERAL-TRIBAL DELIVERY SYSTEMS FOR FRAUD & ABUSE OF FEDERAL TRANSFER GRANTS FUNDED TO MEET BLACKFEET TREATY OBLIGATIONS. THE SECRETARIAL REVIEW OF BLACKFEET TREATY OBLIGATIONS WILL INCLUDE REVIEWS OF BUREAU OF INDIAN AFFAIRS 'DIVERSION OF BLACKFEET ALLOTTED REVENUES ACCRUING FROM TRUST LANDS OF THE BLACKFEET TREATY INDIANS"; AFTER ALL IT IS ONLY EXISTING TRUST LANDOWNERS WHO RETAINED THEIR TRUST INDIAN STATUS WHO ARE STILL TO BE CONSIDERED FEDERALLY RECOGNIZED 'TREATY INDIANS." [note-at this time I have cancer and have been taking cancer treatments, if I live I will continue the fight for our allotted lands and just compensation for heirs of original Blackfeet alllottees. I won't be the first Blackfeet to die fighting for our claims-just read about Chief Wolf Plume who sold his cattle herd to pay for train tickets to Washington D.C. and Bob Hamilton, tribal interpreter and lawyer who stayed for months to meet with congress on behalf of the Blackfeet Indians. current tribal council members use over $4,000,000 to sit on their fat butts and bum like railroad tramps for money that is rightfully and legally ours. I call on Bob Gervais, Leland Thomas, and other allotted landowners to E-Mail Secretary Zinke for a SECRETARIL REVIEW OF OUR TRUST LANDS ADMINSTRATION BY THE BUREAU OF INDIAN AFFAIRS. THE FIGHT HAS ONLY BEGUN! BOB JUNEAU SR.
