BLACKFEET HISTORY BOOK EXPOSES AMERICAN GENOCIDES

I am 70 years old, a Blackfoot Indian, author of a Blackfeet history book, "THE SACRED BUFFALO VISION" available on Amazon.Com. White historians may feel ashamed to bring out the comparisons of America to Nazi Germany in terms of genocide and "mass atrocities" but here is my book which details a campaign of Indian extermination in the modern era, 1880's to 1930's for Indian lands opened up by Congress in the 1887 Indian allotment act which divided tribal lands into 400 acre individual allotments to be watched over by federal trustees called the Bureau of Indian Affairs. As the history research reveals, I found both of my great-grandmothers names among the land fraud victims and their status as Eligible Indian Money Damage Claimants since 1912. Moreover, I found a system of Blackfoot "Slow-Death"genocide in 1912-1922, way before Hitler massacred the Jews, so then, Hitler copied the founders in using extermination of a hated minority as the way to attainment of  riches belonging to the intended victim. Indian treaty-making requires a majority of the adult males in the tribe "approval for a tribal land cession."' To take an individual land allotment from an individual Indian landowner, it requires the signature or approval of the individual landowners. What if the Indians do not sign the papers? Thousands of Indian deaths mounted all across the United States upon Congress' approval of the 1887 Indian Allotment Act, which also requires a signature or approval on an application for a fee patent signed by the Indian landowner and the Indian agent, and approval by the Secretary of the Interior, General Land Office of the United States in issuing a fee patent title, and title signed off by the President of the United States. At the same time as the massive murders and land frauds of Indian people were occurring, 1912-1922, powerful "white friends of the Indians" were publishing lurid accounts of starving Indians and robbery of Indian lands, pushing Congress to investigate Indian affairs. My research followed the Congressional Investigations, Hearings, Senate Investigators Report, and testimony of the Indians in Congress and in the courts. It was surprising to learn that our ancestors did a great job in saving our treaty rights if not the land and oil. We are taught in public schools the "savage Indian curriculum." The book is a serious subject, but has comical events, such as when Chicago crime boss Al Capone showed up in Browning, the reservation capital, to set up his own bank to rob Indians along with the government crooks. He liked the beef steaks fattened on the buffalo grasses on the reservation and shipped steaks to his Speakeasy. The Senate Investigator was killed in a Chicago alley when he followed Al Capone back to Chicago. Congress then decided to look elsewhere for crooks. The "Gilded Age" crooks all showed up on the reservation. It is as a rotten a history that you will find in any despotic nation, including ours today. President Trump is following the pattern of the American founders like Benjamin Franklin, who "tweeted" centuries ago, "NOTHING BUT MONEY IS SWEETER THAN HONEY." He thought rum might be the appointed means to kill more Indians, "It has already annihilated all of the coastal tribes." I think the poor in America might need to know that they too are expendable; too costly in the eyes of the Congress and the rich one percent who really runs government. Providence might decide to cut your healthcare next. Take it from one who knows, I have all the reservation diseases and Agent Orange from Vietnam! Please, all of you cold-hearted republicans, most foolish democrats, independents, alienated, impoverished, or incarcerated, buy or steal a book.
