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.
