I went home to the Blackfeet Indian Reservation in July and it was apparent our people are getting poorer, and there is no relief in sight because the border-whites suck the wealth from reservation lands and oil wells they robbed in 1919 when the State of Montana enacted "reservation/counties" on stolen Blackfeet land allotments under trusteeship of the United States. It has been over a century since my great-grandmothers were robbed by border-whites in state courts under the "Code of the West" a system of justice which means that no white man will testify against another white man in a case concerning Indians, that no Indians word will be taken against a white man, and no Indian was allowed to hold public office or vote in state elections. This is the "prisoner's dilemma" of the Indian landowners whose lands were stolen in state court for illegal taxes and liens of white men. These are the century old "Forced Fee Patents Cases on the Blackfeet Indian Reservation" that have been in the Senate Indian Affairs Committee since 1928, brought there by Blackfeet Chiefs. There are 17,000 Indian land claims to 100 million acres of Indian lands on Indian reservations across the United States that remain in possession of border-whites. Who are the border-whites? General Crook, the old Indian fighter in the 1800's called Indian reservations "parcels of land surrounded by thieves." He told a reporter who asked if Indian fighting was hard, and he said, "Yes, Indian fighting is hard, but what is harder is to fight against those who you know are in the right." At the Blackfeet Indian Days it was hard to witness the poverty of our people who still own 1.3 million acres of reservation land next to Glacier Park and produce the best beef steaks on rich buffalo grasses-for the border-whites who robbed these lands in 1919-1921. The town of Browning has deteriorated to a shanty town like the South African townships infected with white-apartheid, and our children have rotted teeth. The Indian Health Service doctors told me they would need kidney transplants by age of 20 if they lived that long. They said it wasn't the big sugar drinks so much as these children are not getting good meals daily, and live in tribal housing slums with no future to look forward to or an education since public schools on the reservation have a 50% drop-out rate. I know this history because I wrote the "Sacred Buffalo Vision" available on Amazon.Com which traces the white-apartheid systems on the reservation and documents the century of attempted genocide of the Blackfeet Indians by Montana border-whites to usurp the Indian land and sovereignty. In 1983 President Reagan tossed out Indian land claims to 100 million acres of reservation land and resources. He was chided by South African and Soviet leaders for robbing the Indians. I was in Washington D.C. at that time meeting with the Senate Indian Affairs Committee on our claims which President Reagan killed off. Today the border-whites are robbing our allotted water rights which are under the federal trusteeship of the Secretary of the Interior Sally Jewel, a billionaire developer, who should understand the economic opportunity our position adjacent to Glacier Park's 2.5 million tourists who visit from June through August, but no funds for tourism development are available for the Indians. I am part owner of 1,000 acres of trust land [tax free] with a river running though it, but the federal trustees lease it to white ranchers for $500 for summer grazing of their cattle which come off the range fattened and ready for market. Think of 1.3 million acres of prime grazing lands, pure drinking water supplies and at least 1.3 million acre feet of quality water resources, and what you could do with that property! In the state-tribal water compact the federal trustee, Sally Jewel, Secretary of the Interior inserted a clause giving the Montana border-whites "First Right of Refusal" to take any water development deal that we might make with China or European investors. Who would make a deal with us when these border-whites can take it away from them? Please E-Mail President Obama to settle our century old land claims prior to forcing us to accept this crooked water compact deal. It pains me to witness white supremacist western congressmen protect the National Cattlemen's Association, who are white ranchers that call for abrogation of Indian treaties, and who are the white ranchers and county attorneys who murdered hundreds of Blackfeet landowners in 1919-1921 to force their signatures on applications to sell their lands to whites, but our people died by the hundreds rather than sign these land patents, therefore we have evidence of genocide in these cases. These white supremacists dare to lecture other nations on human rights when white apartheid exists on the Indian reservations across the United States on Indian reservations. In 1983 President Reagan reduced Indian Treaty Obligation Funds by 40% causing many deaths on Indian reservations. He was sending a message to tribal chairman to shut Indian protests down over violations of Indian treaties, and we have had no political support from our own tribal council since then in pursuing our land claims. We are poor because United States Congressmen from western states [border-whites] control our land through a federal trusteeship vested in the Secretary of the Interior. President Reagan's Secretary of the Interior James Watt, a born again Christian fundamentalist said it don't matter anyhow because the world was slated to end soon by his beliefs. My father fought in World War Two in General Patton's tank corp and made it all the way through Europe, but his greatest shock was the death camps of the Nazi's, but he returned home to the racism and crookedness of Montana border-whites as did I in the Vietnam War, and my son in the Persian Gulf War. We Indians are not war mongers, but we signed a treaty in 1855 of nation to nation treaty partners, which we have kept since then. We are honorable treaty people!

CODE OF THE WEST-THE ONLY GOOD INDIAN IS A CHEATED INDIAN
No white man would testify against another white man in a trial involving Indians or Indian property, and no Indian's word would be taken against a white man in state courts. There were many state laws passed to keep Indians from voting in state elections even in county elections that brought state law over Indians by creating a system of "reservation/counties" on Indian reservations that gave hundreds of Blackfeet land titles to white men in Glacier County living on stolen Blackfeet land allotments by the incorporation of state law on the Blackfeet Reservation in 1919, and the Blackfeet have been the political prisoners of Montana since and have lost the productive reservation lands to white men. In Congress western states senators block any Indian legislation that would restore Indian land titles to 17,000 Indian landowners to 100 million acres of Indian lands stolen by white men on Indian reservations. I cannot eat a beef steak grown on stolen Indian lands from the Dakotas to Montana. Bob Juneau Sr. .

CONFEDERATE PLANTATIONS ON INDIAN RESERVATIONS-A SYSTEM OF "ECONOMIC-APARTHEID"
17,000 unresolved Indian land claims to 100 million acres of allotted Indian lands were tossed out by President Reagan in 1983 including gold, oil, uranium, coal, timber, and water resources owned by Indians. President Reagan cut Indian treaty obligation funds by 40% to stop national Indian protests of treaty violations and land frauds causing deaths on the reservations and cowing Indian politicians. I was in Washington D.C. pressing to settle my grandmother's and other's unresolved Indian Money Damage Claims. In Oversight Hearings Before the Senate Select Committee on Indian Affairs, 96th Cong., 1st Sess. 3-13-1979 the Assistant Secretary for Indian Affairs Forrest Gerard, testified that "Litigation was thought inappropriate in these cases because the [U.S.] government would have to sue itself on behalf of all Indian claimants." In 1982 Public Law 96-217, Section 2 was passed by Congress to mandate the Secretary of the Interior to either litigate the remaining 17,000 Indian Money Damage Claims or to send the claims to Congress for legislative resolutions restoring Indian titles. Senator Cohen chairman of the committee stated, "If the Reagan Administration is allowed to succeed in their plan the remainder of 17,000 Indian claims covering 100 million acres of allotted Indian lands, minerals, and water rights are to be willed out of existence. It is clear from the legislative history that Congress wanted assistance from the Interior Dept. in the form of carefully considered legislative proposals designed to bring about a swift, yet equitable conclusion to the 2415 Indian Claims Program. It is also clear that from stipulated facts that the Reagan administration has not complied with P.L. 96-217, Section 2." In 1982 the Covelo Indian Community sued James Watt, Secretary of the Interior and the Attorney General of the United States, William French Smith on behalf of all Indians with unresolved Indian Money Damage Claims. The Defendants argued that the executive's discretion as to whether or not to propose legislation can never be constitutionally limited in light of Article ll, Section 3. The Covelo Indian Community successfully argued in federal court that "If the executive's discretion was thereby restricted, it was done by his own hand and is therefore beyond a charge of constitutional infirmity." President Reagan argued that the preceding century of unresolved Indian land claims constituted a charge of "Laches" meaning that too much time had passed prior to the Indian's filing Indian land claims but it was established that "foot-dragging" in the Indian cases was done by federal officials. Secretary of the Interior James Watt labeled Indian reservations examples of "failed socialism" while President Reagan was criticized by Soviet dictators and South African white supremacist leaders for maintaining "gulags" on Indian reservations. Today the border-whites are after the pure water supplies owned by Indians on reservations worth billions of dollars on global bottled water markets leading to further frauds of Indian property managed by federal trustees. The current state-tribal water compacts do not address past Indian claims or any reservation of water for Indian landowners for bottled water plants or any other water projects for Indian landowners. The border-whites will drain the spring water from under Indian treaty lands under "rule of capture" where the biggest pump wins the water wars. The Glacier County border-whites robbed a billion dollars in oil profits from us! We live in poverty caused by a century of illegal occupation by economic-parasites called border-whites who stole our land, oil, timber, cattle industry and now our reserved water rights.I have spent my entire adult life since 1980 to fight for my grandma's land robbed by border-whites leaving them in poverty that I share today, and my descendants will share forever. What could you do if government officials robbed your property? Please lobby President Obama and Secretary of the Interior Sally Jewell for resolution of 17,000 Indian Money Damage Claims to 100 million acres of allotted Indian lands. Bob Juneau Sr.

DIRTY BLACKFEET INDIANS OCCUPY NEGLECTED AGENCY TOWN OF BROWNING
In 1926 after the murders of 149 Blackfeet allotted landowners by Glacier County border-whites for their grazing and irrigated farm lands and the newly discovered oil fields, the Blackfeet Chiefs Wolf Plume and Young Man Chief were thrown in the agency jail when they attempted to board the train at Browning, so Robert Hamilton, tribal interpreter and lawyer brought the news of Indian genocide to the "Joint Commission of Congress to Investigate Indian Affairs." Bob Hamilton was the great Blackfeet lawyer who was the Blackfeet patriot who used his education to help his people, testifying in 1926 to Congress, "About 85% of the reservation population is in a most deplorable situation, the Indians have no more cattle or horses to sell, those who own horses to work have engaged themselves during the summer on the Blackfeet Irrigation Canals, where they could scarcely make a living owing to the fact they receive very small wages, and the proceeds of a days labor go to the support of their families, and feed for their horses, and get into debt at the commissary of the Federal Reclamation Service because of high prices. Therefore, it is a physical impossibility for many of the Indians to earn enough to lay abundant supplies in store for the winter when blizzards bring forty degree below zero weather for eight months with killing frosts and blizzards in July and August making farming impossible even for professional farmers to get a crop. The snow is so deep no one is able to haul firewood to sell, while Indian prisoners are kept busy sawing and cutting wood to keep the agency employees warm while the Indians freeze in log shacks. The post trader Joe Sherburne buys hay cheap in the summer while rations are cut so the Indians get into debt at the store, and their lands are foreclosed in Glacier County for taxes and liens of white men. There is no wild game or fish to be had and during the winters of 1913 and 1921 one hundred and forty nine Indians of all ages died from malnutrition related diseases caused by lack of food. Joe Sherburne has 313 Blackfeet trust land allotments while the Glacier County ranchers have over a thousand trust patents of 312,250 acres of prime reservation grazing and irrigated farm lands constructed with $942,000 of Blackfeet land cession funds for white ranchers and farmers." Commissioner of Indian Affairs Cato Sells, a Texan, denied all allegations of Blackfeet deaths and loss of trust property that has reached 529,000 acres, and the Glacier County white supremacists are coming back for our allotted water resources draining valuable drinking water right from under our feet. The town of Browning still has that seedy and neglected look as the modern day Blackfeet Indians die from generational poverty and malnutrition related diseases caused by genocides of our ancestors and usurpation of the reservation by white-apartheid Glacier and Pondera County Governments within the exterior boundaries of the Blackfeet Indian Reservation. The "dirty" people are the white supremacists in Glacier County and their allies Blackfeet/Cree county commissioners who let lie the dirty history of whites robbing Indians with the complicity of the U.S. Government. What good is Indian commissioners for white supremacy? I hope the tribal council is looking out for allotted landowners since the tribal council included us in the state-tribal water compact, in which we, the Blackfeet landowners, have to get the approval of white supremacists in Cut Bank, Valier, Conrad, and Choteau for bottled water marketing of our own water reserved in the treaty exclusively for the Blackfeet Indians on the Blackfeet Indian Reservation. Why!
I am part-owner of 1,000 acres of allotted trust land with a river running through it, call (406) 493-0894 for bottled water plants bottling pure, clean, fresh glacial waters from Glacier National Park!!

The Blackfeet Indians are an "endangered species" of the human type
The Bureau of Indian Affairs is the federal agency manager of Blackfeet trust property of 1.3 million acres of the finest grazing lands in the northwest with water rights of 1 and 1/4th acre foot per acre on reserved Blackfeet allotted lands. The Indians are political and economic-apartheid prisoners of the western states "reservation/counties" and United States Congressmen, who are themselves political pawns of the National Cattlemen's Association and Farmers Union, who control the policy of Indian Affairs that frustrate Indian economic development to the benefit of their cattlemen and farmer constituents. The result of corruption in Congress and Indian Affairs is that the Blackfeet land claims have been held up in the Senate Indian Affairs Committee for a century, after robbery of a billion dollars worth of oil and 529,000 acres of prime Blackfeet grazing and farm lands robbed by border-whites. The Blackfeet Indians still own 1.3 million acres of land and water rights to groundwater and underground aquifers underlying the reservation which abuts Glacier Park with no pollution of reservation streams until they reach the white farmers pouring pesticides and fertilizers onto crops, and the topsoil is only one inch leaving the specter of dust storms without irrigation and fertilizers, but water is more valuable than crops or cattle or gold for that matter! In the 1896 Agreement/Article Five the Blackfeet Chiefs chose the grazing lands and water resources with which to rebuild the tribal economy in raising cattle which the whitemen have stolen along with the grass, and now it is our water they are in the process of stealing from under our feet, literally. The rule of capture is a law invented by oil companies to drain the oil from under the neighbors land without paying a lease, and it applies equally to water draining from the Indians property from the stolen lands in every township on the reservation owned by whitemen. Please, help us to organize our water rights to stop the water thefts from under our lands because we are so poor we cannot hire lawyers, economists, or hydrologists to inventory our water resources and put a value on our water products including bottled water plants to bottle our own water and market it to global water markets-China. Blackfeet allotted landowners own 1.3 million acres. I am part-owner of 1,000 acres with a river running through it.

BLACKFEET RESERVATION LANDOWNER-NEEDS JOINT-VENTURE PARTNER-BOTTLED WATER MARKETING
Bob Juneau Sr. is an enrolled member of the Blackfeet Tribe and landowner of trust [tax free] property on the Blackfeet Reservation, which property has a river running through it and water wells drilled at 60 feet depth with good water which we have drunk since forever. There are 1.3 million acres of Blackfeet allotted lands of 400 acres each owned by individual Blackfeet landowners. Water rights one and one-fourth acre foot allocated per acre foot by the Federal Bureau of Reclamation in 1908 for grazing or industrial uses. The Blackfeet Reservation has underground aquifers of fresh water undisturbed by oil wells or fertilizers and pesticides, the reservation has a million acres of original buffalo grasses that supported millions of buffalo until the 1880's genocides of buffalo and Indians. The majority of Blackfeet descendants of the original treaty Indians live in squalor and poverty in government housing slums on welfare payments with an estimated 80% tribal unemployment rate. But, these Indians own 1.3 million acres of fine grazing lands and well watered properties, but the federal government has no economic policy in place to allow Indian landowners into global water markets, and we, the Blackfeet landowners, cannot afford another century of tribal poverty. Therefore it is my plan to organize the 1.3 million acre feet of Blackfeet water resources into a tribal cooperative to market Blackfeet allotted water rights to groundwater and surface water resources for shared profits for owners of water resources under development by the joint-venture.
AREA OF DEVELOPMENT: 1.3 million acres of the Blackfeet Indian Reservation allotted lands and water rights to an estimated 2.6 million acre feet of quality drinking water owned by the Blackfeet Tribe and Blackfeet Trust Landowners.

BLACKFEET TRIBE DEPENDENT UPON FEDERAL TREATY OBLIGATION FUNDS
Federal sources of funding means "All direct federal funding and/or assistance received by the tribal government and federal institutions such as BIA and IHS. The Blackfeet $158 million in total federal expenditures rank second to the Flathead Tribes with $317 million. Enrollment is 6,970 for Flathead members to 15,640 for enrolled Blackfeet. The Blackfeet service population is 8,831 recipients while the Flathead service population is 4,584 recipients. The Blackfeet service population also includes Rocky Boy Crees and un-enrolled Blackfeet descendants who use Blackfeet tribal programs and IHS programs but are not counted as part of the federal service population which would bring Blackfeet total federal expenditures in line with Flathead at double the current $158 million to $316,000,000 million in total federal expenditures for the Blackfeet reservation. There would be more tribal and federal employment on the Blackfeet Reservation if the tribal government would update the current populations served by the Blackfeet Tribe and Federal programs and agencies. In contrast, the Flathead Tribes count the thousands of expatriate Blackfeet people who have left the reservation permanently and live on the Flathead reservation. Tribal politics and discrimination toward the Crees and un-enrolled Blackfeet Descendants is costing the Blackfeet Tribal Government $158 million in federal funds annually, while at the same time the Blackfeet Tribe, BIA and IHS serve these populations without federal compensation or recognition for no good reason, and which will lead to law suits by these neglected populations at some point in time if these services are withdrawn by the tribe. On the other hand, Glacier and Pondera Counties and the state of Montana get a free ride in reservation expenditures as all state and county funds for public schools, roads, TANF, food stamps, etc. are reimbursed to the county and state by the federal government. Border-whites "own" the reservation economy with hundreds of millions of dollars in profits from cattle, crops, tourism, and federal expenditures bring the gross reservation product to $850,000,000 for white people living on stolen allotted Blackfeet lands and profiting from oil & gas rights robbed from illiterate Blackfeet landowners in 1912-1922 during the allotment period, and that is how the white parasites live off of the welfare state of the Blackfeet Indian Reservation while the "owners" of the reservation, the Blackfeet Indians, live in squalor and poverty. This is white-apartheid on the Blackfeet Reservation. The whites are poised to capture the Blackfeet water resources unless we come up with a plan to market our billions of dollars in drinking quality water "owned" by current Blackfeet landowners. The Blackfeet Water Compact signed by chairman Old Person does not allow off-reservation water marketing unless we get the "permission" of white rednecks in valier and cut bank first, it is an atrocity upon the Blackfeet landowners who might have the brains to sell bottled water globally.
Vote no on the water compact until we get served first before white parasites on the reservation.
