MODERN DAY APARTHEID ON INDIAN RESERVATIONS-THE "RESERVATION/COUNTY"

The "Sacred Buffalo Vision" is the story of attempted genocides of the Blackfeet Indians since 1860 when the Confederate soldiers were chased up the Missouri River by the Union Army to Blackfoot Confederacy lands held by the 1855 Treaty with the "United States of America" and commenced to massacre Blackfeet people and encroach upon Blackfeet Confederacy lands. The Montana confederates were joined by confederate "Texas Cattle Kings" arrival with massive cattle herds who encroached on Blackfeet grazing lands and killed off tribal buffalo herds bringing the Indians to famine by 1881 when 600 Blackfeet men, women and children were starved to death in sight of Texas cattle herds trespassing on the reservation. The Texans refused to sell the agent any beef to bring the Indians to survival and the Indians were forced to sell 17,000,000 acres to the United States for $1.5 million to be paid in cattle and equipment to develop a tribal cattle industry which was successful in bringing the Indians to self-support by 1890. By 1896 the Indians were broke once again by the Texas cattlemen rustling 25,000 cattle and trespassing on the Blackfeet reservation and forcing the sale of the mountain lands of the reservation for gold mining for the Montana "High Society" syndicate of the Governor of Montana, federal officials, senators, James J. Hill, railroad baron, the big meat trust Swift & Armor, and Joe Sherburne, the licensed Indian trader, who was a member of the "agency ring" a criminal conspiracy. By 1913 the border-whites had greedy eyes for the remaining reservation lands and set in motion a killing machine that murdered over 100 Indians in the winter of 1913, and once again murdered hundreds of Indian landowners in 1921 by mass starvation to force another land sale which was unsuccessful so they stole the land through county court frauds and taxes that once again broke the Indians. To cover-up the massive land frauds the border-whites encroached on the reservation by a white-apartheid county government called "Glacier County" and embarked on a campaign of "slow death measures" genocide that brought white rule to free treaty Indians. All of these land frauds are documented by Congress and many Blackfeet delegations traveled to Washington City to present their land claims since 1922 to no avail and in the modern day in 1983 President Ronald Reagan threw 200 years of treaties and Indian law into the trash can in complicity with the border-whites. The Blackfeet Indians still own 900,000 acres but live in abject poverty because of government corruption and border-whites thefts of Blackfeet oil & gas, water resources and dominate the reservation economy while the Indians die of slow death measures genocides of poverty, looting of Indian resources, and economic apartheid they cannot break due to complicity of the federal government. My hope is that this book will awaken the conscience of Americans who do not realize white apartheid is upon the land and bring justice to the Indians after all these atrocities in America.

For compliance of the Commissioner of Indian Affairs request for the "death sticks" body counts of dead Indians, Chief White Calf reported that out of his family of fifteen, four died last year, Running Crane's family of fourteen, six died, Little Bull lost three out of his family of nine, Skunk Cap lost three out of ten in his family, and Bear Chief lost one out of eight in his family and so on to over 600 deaths officially reported.  White Calf, who is principle chief, said he was grieved to see his people suffering, and wanted to know why they cannot get more food and why the Indians in Canadian Territory receive seeds and rations to live on, and he wants to be treated as they are.  Agent Allen reported "The Indians offer themselves to work for food and where ten are called for fifty will appear, but while there are many ways where the agent could employ them, he is unable to do so because they must be paid in rations and there are none to spare.  The Indians try to plant.  For example, a patch of ground was seen where they had cut the ground with an ax, and scratched the ground with their fingers in order to plant some potatoes.  None of their ponies are strong enough to break the soil, and what seeds and potatoes were furnished, they immediately ate.  Everything about them indicates their poverty.  They have not a fur or skins for moccasins and there is nothing in their lodges except for the people themselves.  The chiefs are very desirous that some of them should be allowed to go to Washington to represent their hardships to the Great Father, but their application to that effect has been denied by the Indian Office on the score that there is no money disposable to pay the expenses of their trip.

Full rations of beef would require 1,259,250 lbs. rather than 250,000 lbs estimated.  There are about sixty lodges around or near agency, including those of the principle chiefs, the rest of the Indians having scattered to various points in search of berries.  The Indians continue to make their complaints that they are hungry and their children were dying; their physical condition is that of a slowly starving people, all of the people being very guant and thin, and in some cases, shockingly emaciated.  Scrofula prevails to a great extent among them, aggravated by a lack of nourishment and an unmistakable large number seems to be suffering from consumption.  In fact, their systems are so impoverished, that very slight hurts develop into serious complications.  Of the births and deaths, nothing at all is known, and the Department of the Interior is today totally ignorant of the numbers of Indians it pretends to care for and feed.  Dr. Gillette not to be reappointed; Indians have no confidence in him, lax in duties, does not seem to make any effort to find the sick and supplant the native medicine man; he does not keep himself well informed as to the physical conditions of the Indians as he should, many of them dying in the immediate vicinity of the stockade without his knowledge.  Last month the agency carpenter built 17 coffins, while Dr. Gillete reported only 6 deaths.  Many of the Indians are buried without coffins and sometimes two corpses are placed in one coffin.  The Indian deaths are estimated by agency employees as averaging one per day.  The Indians still prefer to dispose of their bodies by tying them in trees or placing them in high places, and the hills and ridges around the agency, "ghost ridge" are dotted with these ghastly objects.  It is supposed that one half of the deaths are indirectly recorded at the agency through the application for boxes in which to place the corpses.  In May, 1884, the agency carpenter made sixteen rough coffins for this purpose, some of the coffins contained two bodies, and once he made six in one day."

A CENTURY OF ECONOMIC-APARTHEID ON THE BLACKFEET RESERVATION

Glacier and Pondera Counties are economic-apartheid units of state government enacted on the Blackfeet Indian Reservation without any consent of the Indians, who were not allowed to vote in county elections, nor did the encroachment have the prior approval of Congress. In fact these two counties operate "extralegally" in a "distinct economic territory" of border-white illegal emigrants from the State of Montana. Both county seats are off-reservation with their tentacles of political slavery of the Indians covering every township on the reservation with border-whites making their homes on stolen Blackfeet land allotments under void patent-in-fee titles issued out of county government. One of the Senate Indian Affairs Committee staff told me in 1982 the fee patents weren't worth the paper they were written on, and dismissed them as worthless Department of the Interior Land Certificates. After 100 years of documented Indian land frauds of 100 million acres of allotted Indian lands leaving hundreds of thousands of "dispossessed Indian heirs" to original allottees in poverty and frustration with the United States treaty promises unfulfilled. The Secretary of the Interior pretends to struggle with "who owns what" on the Indian reservations although the Department of the Interior and Attorney General of the United States are defendants in the lawsuits for Indian Money Damage Claimants. There has been no official examination of the void Patent-in-Fee titles of border-whites living on stolen Indian land allotments held in a federal trusteeship based on sacred Indian treaties with the United States. The border-whites are allowed to hold property titles of treaty Indians within the exterior boundaries of an Indian reservation. I would hesitate to plant my teepee on white man's land, but he has no fear of Indian treaty rights. The result of a 100 years of encroachment of border-whites and states on Indian reservations is that Indians no longer have a clear system of property rights, and cannot get their land titles cleared by Congress, and suffer abject poverty not of their making, but instead have a system of government racketeering in state, county, and federal governments on the reservation. The underground economy of border-whites drains upwards of $850,000,000 from the Blackfeet Reservation economy owned by the Blackfeet Indians. Patent-in-fee lands of border-whites has grown to 529,000 acres, one-third of the reservation land base, and of course, the thieves took the oil wells, grazing lands, irrigated farm lands, water holes, and usurped the successful Blackfeet cattle industry and tribal sovereignty. It is a system of an underground economy operating extralegally without any normal legal title on the reservation. In my opinion, I don't see the difference between Putin pressuring Ukraine to join Russian with a nuke than the State of Montana and the United States slowly killing the Indians by fraud.

"Agent Allen reported, "The rations last for two days barely, the rest of the week the people live on wild berries and air until Friday evening when they again flock to the stockade and receive the entrails of the beeves butchered for the next day's issue.  Every part of the refuse is eagerly sought and eaten except for the paunch and gall, which they give to their dogs.  Every killing day the Indians congregate at the stockade, and most disgusting contests occur for the possession of the entrails, etc.  If a slaughter house was erected the beef could be properly and cleanly dressed and everything conducted in an orderly manner.  My predecessors estimate of supplies for following year far from sufficient.  The full ration is little enough, for these Indians have nothing to eat except what is given to them by the government; there is no game, and the amount they produce by farming is positively not worth mentions.  The conduct of affairs here is exceedingly unpleasant, and unless matters can be remedied there will probably be bloodshed.  The dissatisfaction is constantly on the increase, and unless something can be done to alleviate the suffering of these people the employees at the agency will be in imminent danger of losing their lives.  The appropriation for this agency should be largely increased at the present session of Congress else the consequences will be such as should make the people of this nation blush with shame.

Samples of the spoiled corn considered to be unfit to feed the soldiers horses that the agent had fed to the Indians were also requested to be sent for proof of the Indians suffering during the past three years, 1881-1884.  The Blackfeet Indians were wholly dependent on the government for every mouthful of food on government rations.  Agent Allen reported,"Their wretched appearance evidenced their suffering as well as the books of the agency rolls.  The adults were receiving two pounds of beef and flour per week, with their children receiving half that amount.  During the winter, the Indians that were strong enough, scoured the neighboring ranges and brought in quantities of the cattle that had died from exposure and disease, but with the approach of warmer weather, the cattle ceased to die and the meat they had secured became too putrid for use." T.C. Power, the Fort Benton contractor, sent flour that would have been rejected if the Indians condition were not so desperate, but as there was not another pound on hand at the agency, it had to be accepted and issued at once.  Agent Allen reported, "It is impossible to buy beef locally-I am sadly in want of beef and am killing from Gov't cattle herd to keep the Indians from suffering.  I earnestly request to be informed by telegram what course I am to pursue in this unlooked for emergency." Wm. H. DeWitt, Helena, United States District Attorney, reported, regarding 10,000-12,000 of I.G. Baker's cattle on reservation, near Sweet Grass Hills, "Will try to bring suit for depredations."

Starving Indians fed maggot infested bacon
Newly appointed Blackfeet Agent, Major Allen, reported to the Commissioner of Indian Affairs,
Washington D.C.:  "I have the honor to report that I have taken up and issued two thousand, one
hundred and twelve (2012) pounds of bacon that had been condemned by my predecessor.  This action was taken for the following reasons:  My supply of bacon was exhausted and I had no beef to issue; the ration of flour was necessarily small, not sufficient to sustain life of itself; the Indians were already suffering from lack of sufficient food and under the circumstances I felt that it was absolutely necessary for me to do something that was in my power to prevent further suffering and the loss of life by starvation.  I examined the bacon mentioned and found that much of it could be used if carefully separated from the bad.  I had it assorted and by cutting it up in small pieces and selecting only that which was passably good, I secured the amount mentioned and issued it as appears on my weekly supply report.  The exigencies of the service demanded this action on my part.  I hope you will approve the course I took." Agent Allen visited the Indian tents and found provisions in only two, "All bore the marks of suffering from lack of food, but the little children seemed to have suffered most; they were so emaciated that it did not seem possible for them to live long, and many of them have passed away."  In November of 1884 Agent Allen received a request from the Commissioner of Indian Affairs to send the "death sticks" an Indian body count gathered from the various Blackfeet camps notched with the numbers representing the Indian deaths resulting from starvation to Washington D.C. and to give the names of the different Blackfeet camps from which they came."
