GROUNDWATER WILL MAKE THE BLACKFEET RICH, IF THE WHITE MAN DON'T ROB IT FIRST!

Sneaky, really sneaky to pump the underground water from under your neighbors land! How did the white man get on the reservation? He stole the Blackfeet allottees lands with the help of the BIA. Now it is our groundwater resources that are in jeopardy because white landowners are awaiting the approval of the Blackfeet water compact to deplete reservation streams and pump the water out from under our feet while we look dumb and ignorant, because the BIA will not protect our water resources. It is the "rule of capture" that applies to groundwater pumping because the underground water aquifers migrates to the pump, so while we are sitting doing nothing the border-whites are pumping valuable bottled water that comes from under our allotments. These border-whites have already got away with stealing a billion dollars worth of oil, so it is nothing to them to steal our water too. The idea of selling water is nothing new to the Blackfeet Indians since Green Grass Bull, a Blackfeet entrepreneur hauled drinking water to the people in his horse and wagon in big barrels. He is the smartest Indian yet since our tribal council and the BIA are still sitting on their butts watching our water go down to Havre and the towns and farmers, but nothing for the Indians. Bottled water is the fastest growing product globally outselling Coca Cola and other sugar-drinks, which are mostly water. Profits of $5.4 billion from bottled water @ $7.50 per gallon for the highest quality drinking water marketed by Perrier. The profits of groundwater pumping will be enough to make everyone rich! The Cobell Case did not figure the future profits in the millions from every Blackfeet allotment from water marketing, so keep your tiny land interests instead of giving your land to the tribe for pennies. There is every possibility that corporations will locate bottled water plants on the Blackfeet Reservation bringing profits in the billions of dollars annually for Blackfeet landowners and the Blackfeet Tribe. I know of some Indian tribes who already have water bottling plants on their reservations that also bring hundreds of high paying jobs and royalties to landowners that will make them richer than oil or gold forever. As long as the rivers flow, as the treaties go, the Indians will be free of poverty and government cheese. Freshwater is scarce and becoming more valuable every day. Corporate interests are always seeking new sources of pure drinking water to meet global market demands. The numbers are in the billions of dollars as the price of groundwater rises with demand. The Blackfeet still have around 1.3 million acres of prime groundwater property adjacent to Glacier Park with glacial runoff from the park glaciers bringing the highest price for the highest bidders. I will be in Browning next week and hope to meet with tribal council members and landowners interested in learning more about how to market our billion-dollar groundwater resources, and to build a fire under the BIA superintendent to get our water on the global water markets so we, the Blackfeet landowners, can get rich instead of white parasites out north who belong down east of the reservation in MONTANA! Think how much $7,50 per gallon X 325,851 gallons per acre foot X 1.3 million acre feet! We is rich! We need a Blackfeet landowners coalition to push for our water rights to market our fresh, clean waters unpolluted since Napi gave it to us in back the day and Green Grass Bull showed us how to market our clean, pure, fresh water resources. I am a proud owner of underground water aquifers under my land if the white man don/t steal it from me first! Oh, they will!

JUNE 10, 1896 IS BLACKFEET INDEPENDENCE DAY!

The 1896 Agreement was ratified by Congress June 10, 1896 (29 Stat. 355) reserving the entire reservation for the Blackfeet Indians, prohibiting state law on the reservation, and freeing the Indians from a history of attempted genocide by Montana border-whites campaigns of massacre, starvation of the tribe, small pox outbreaks, whiskey trade and destruction of tribal buffalo herds. The population of the Blackfeet Indians dropped from 7,800 in 1860 to just 1,811 Indians left alive in 1890 after 30 years of misery and deaths inflicted by border-whites for Indian land. The Indian wars were really massacres of helpless Blackfeet children, elders, women for $50 bounties paid for Indian scalps at Fort Benton, Montana Territory where drunken scalp dances were held in the local saloon, tossing bloody scalps of Indian women and babies accompanied by southern confederate rebel yells. The Blackfeet Agent recommended transfer of the agency away from Fort Benton due to border-whites killing and scalping the Indians who came to meet with their agent. By 1886 the Blackfeet Indians were starving and had to sign another land cession to the United States of 17 million acres for $1.5 million in cattle and equipment and rations to adapt to the "new buffalo"-cattle ranching. By 1893 the Blackfeet had survived the attempted genocides of Montana border-whites, and developed a tribal cattle industry of 25,000 cattle, 500 cattle ranchers, selling beef and hay to the agency, shipping steers to Chicago stockyards, freighting supplies from Fort Benton, building ranch homes, and small livestock to support the ranch economy. It was a great success! But once again envious border-whites coveted the rich buffalo grasses of the "big-grass country" of the Blackfeet reservation and got a bill in congress to break up the reservation into 3,600 individual land allotments owned by individual Indians who were illiterate in the English language, and who were cheated of their land in state courts off the reservation with the complicity of the Indian agents. The border-whites profit $850 million annually on the reservation lands while the Indians are left with welfare and poverty. Today the reservation is under attack once again by the Montana Legislature and the United States Government who envy the clean, pure waters of the reservation worth billions of dollars annually for bottled water plants and global water markets for a thirsty world. The stolen Blackfeet allotted lands, oil wells, water rights and 529,000 acres of reservation lands are in possession of a handful of border-whites operating without normal legal titles, in an underground reservation economy, which drains the Blackfeet economy to border-whites and the state of Montana. White-rule on the Blackfeet Indian Reservation is the "reservation/county" form of state government, a white-apartheid territory in America! White rule is communism on the reservation. Russian leader Putin who is dominating Ukraine has nothing on the state of Montana. I am a Blackfeet patriot who is still trying to bring justice to my grandma's robbed by whites after a century. We still have a million acres of ground water that is pure drinking water, but the border-whites are draining our water aquifers from underneath our feet while the United States Government holds us from leasing our water to off reservation corporations. Will any nation or just person help us? This will be our death for sure! I wonder if the World Bank or some United Nations Program could lease our water? Bob Juneau Sr.

NO POST APARTHEID IN AMERICA FOR TREATY INDIANS ON RESERVATIONS

American colonist Benjamin Franklin told the truth of the intent of whites to genocide the Indians during the colonial period stating, "And indeed, if it be the design of Providence to extirpate these savages in order to make room for the cultivators of the Earth, it seems not improbable that rum may be the appointed means. It has already annihilated all the tribes who formerly inhabited the seacoast." Whiskey killed 25% of the Blackfeet people after they were driven mad by massacre, starvation, and small-pox which had killed most of the tribe in just 30 years by Montana border-whites who, like Ben Franklin, desired their lands. Welcome to America! By 1871 Congress decided it would bankrupt the treasury to exterminate the Indians so they turned to false promises of tribal sovereignty and freedom from white rule on the reservation. 12 million Indians were sacrificed to the white man's dream of white supremacy in America with slaves to do the work and Indian land to get rich, oh baby, God is good to us whites! The United States Government has unfinished business in fulfilling treaty promises to Indians who are genocide survivors. Economic apartheid on Indian reservations is stolen Indian property robbed by white supremacists who killed Indian land owners and robbed Indian titles in state courts. Isn't that apartheid? "American exceptionalism" is a term white supremacists use to pat themselves on the back, for what? The myth of equal rights for all? The structures of economic apartheid on Indian reservations that survive today are the "reservation/counties' a hybrid county government whose land base sits on stolen Indian land within the reservation borders. Try that in Russia, a hybrid American colony of American white supremacists within the Russian borders operating under American law. The Russians are big enough to defend themselves so that won't happen! President Reagan was blowing off about American freedom until South African and Russian leaders called him down for the apartheid on Indian reservations, and we must admit, they are experts in the matter. President Reagan tossed out class action lawsuits of Indians and cut treaty funds by 40% causing many deaths of Indians on reservations. Economic sanctions worked against apartheid in South Africa, why not America? Please, China, our relatives, do not buy any beef from the white supremacist National Cattleman's Association or the Farmers Union because they are white supremacists who call for abrogation of Indian treaty rights and occupy Indian reservations. They have blocked our Indian claims in Congress for a century and control Congress. Bob Juneau Sr.

UNITED STATES GOVERNMENT-BORDER-WHITES INSURGENCY VIOLATES BLACKFEET NATION BOUNDARY

The Boundary between the United States and the Blackfeet Indian Reservation was drawn as part of the 1896 Agreement/Article One. In 1931 Blackfeet Tribal Council Chairman Joseph W. Brown and Blackfeet Chiefs White Calf and Wolf Plume requested a resurvey of the boundary line which is needed to include 43,020 acres of tribal lands now contained within Glacier National Park and the Lewis & Clark National Forest, and that the land described is of the same character sold by the Blackfeet Indians to the United States of mineral and timber lands. The lands are also held by treaty with the United States in creating Glacier National Park and Lewis & Clark National Forest within which public lands the Blackfeet Indians reserved hunting, timber, grazing, and traditional practices such as sacred sites, berry picking, plants, and spiritual retreats. Economically speaking the Great Northern Railway robbed tribal timber lands, oil fields, water rights and usurped Blackfeet treaty rights within the reserved lands which produce $168 million per summer season in Glacier Park tourism markets. Border-whites, ranchers, and business men usurped western reservation grazing lands and water rights reserved in the 1896 Agreement/Article Five for the exclusive use and occupancy of the Blackfeet Indian cattle ranchers which produces $85 million in sales of cows fattened on stolen Blackfeet land allotments and irrigated farm lands constructed with $942,000 of tribal funds which farm lands produce $67 million in crops and federal crop subsidies paid to white farmers by the federal agriculture dept. The border-whites insurgency onto the reservation destroyed the self-reliant Blackfeet reservation cattle industry which was successful by 1893 while Article Five guaranteed continued success in the 1896 Agreement. President Teddy Roosevelt issued a Proclamation in 1903 to further strengthen the Blackfeet treaty rights in the ceded lands which include Glacier Park and Lewis & Clark National Forest. We have lost 529,000 acres of tribal and allotted lands due to U.S. Government complicity in trust land frauds on the Blackfeet Reservation. The result is that the Blackfeet Indians are "endangered people" who are victims of slow death measures genocides of whites and the U.S. Government killing by looting Indian property and causing poverty that kills slowly by diabetes, heart disease, high unemployment, pillaging tribal resources and usurpation of the Blackfeet Indian Reservation. We could use a chairman like Joe Brown again and real chiefs like White Calf and Wolf Plume who fought for us. In 1980 we had the funds to resurvey the western boundary but chairman Old Person said no! Why? I know the Blackfeet think I am crazy but my conspiracy theory is that chief Old Person is being blackmailed for incest and rape, everybody knows he is the bill cosby of the reservation, raping women in his tribal office and  defending the BIA against his own tribe! Why would he do that? If you think politicians cannot be blackmailed for sex crimes look at the Speaker of the House of Representatives who is under federal indictment for paying hush money to a blackmailer, he was the third in line to be president! I know I am right about Earl, but what about us? Shakespeare said, "The evil men do lives after them." I gave the map to the tribal council long ago, it is in the tribal land office, let us resurvey the western boundary, the eastern boundary, and southern boundary and put our nation in order.

UNITED NATIONS INVESTIGATIONS NEEDED TO BREAK ECONOMIC APARTHEID ON INDIAN RESERVATIONS

The "Organic Act" passed by Congress in 1864 created Montana territory which would proceed to statehood in 1889 authorized by the Constitution in Article IV, Section 3, Clause 2. The 1864 Organic Act organized Montana as a territorial government Provided: "That nothing in this act contained shall be construed to impair the rights of person or property now pertaining to the Indians in said territory so long as such rights remain unextinguished by treaty between the United States and such Indians, or to include any territory which, by treaty with Indian tribes, is not, without the consent of said tribe, to be included within the territorial limits or jurisdiction of any state or territory; but all such territory shall be excepted out of the boundaries and constitute no part of the state or territory." In 1889 the Montana Constitution declared that "The people inhabiting said proposed state do agree, and declare that they FOREVER disclaim all right and title to all lands owned or held by any Indian or Indian tribe; and that until the title thereto shall have been extinguished by the United States Congress, the same shall be, and remain subject to the disposition of the United States, and said Indian lands shall remain under the ABSOLUTE JURISDICTION AND CONTROL  of the Congress of the United States." The state of Montana adopted Ordinance No. 1 that disclaimed "any right or title to Indian lands which is irrevocable without the consent of the Indians and the prior approval of Congress; or to include any territory, which by treaty with any Indian tribes, is not, without the consent of said tribe, to be included within the territorial limits or jurisdiction of any state, but all [Indian] territory shall be excepted out of said territory [Montana], or to affect the authority of the government of the United States to make any regulations respecting such Indians, their lands, property, or other rights by treaty, law, or otherwise, which it would have been competent for the [federal] government to make if this act had never been passed." It is obvious that the state of Montana has been in an illegal trespass upon the Blackfeet Indian Reservation for over a century, and that the Blackfeet Indians have suffered massive land frauds, property loss, and usurpation of their treaty rights by Glacier and Pondera Counties, and thefts of 529,000 acres of allotted Blackfeet lands, a billion dollars worth of oil, and a trillion dollars worth of water rights. The state and county operate under usurpation of Blackfeet Sovereignty, while border-whites own void patent-in-fee lands which are the stolen allotted lands of the Blackfeet Original Allottees, which produce $85 million in sales of cattle, and crops and $9 million in federal agriculture dept. subsidies on Blackfeet allotments in an underground reservation economy of exclusive white-apartheid territory on the reservation. I have brought the claims to Congress since 1980 and my ancestors brought the claims to Congress in 1922 and there is no momentum in Congress to settle the pre-1966 Indian Money Damage Claims. What will it take to move Congress to do their treaty obligations to restore 100 million acres of stolen Indian lands on Indian reservations across the United States? We have exhausted the justice system of the United States Government. I talked with an Assistant U.S. Attorney who told me there is no chance of pursuing our claims, no plans to restore stolen Indian lands. Any ideas out there? Help!

NATIONS OF THE WORLD MIGHT QUESTION ECONOMIC BENEFITS OF AMERICAN DEMOCRACY

The historical record of U.S. Constitutional protections of minority people is in question today. Did the past protests and constitutional reforms merely cover-up old white-apartheid systems of frontier America? In sum, the question of exporting ideals of America abroad to oppressed people in need of freedom and sovereignty under constitutional protections may depend upon self-examination of the historical record at home in issues affecting Native-Americans and African-Americans. Did these groups of formerly oppressed people progress out of the original colonial white-apartheid systems of economic exploitation of Indian land and African labor? It is called "business" today. Autonomy of minorities is intercepted in the Congress by powerful lobbyists of the corporate state in castrating civil rights and economic opportunity of the oppressed peoples. The Indians and the African-Americans have two centuries of economic exploitation to overcome if the new world order is not to be the old world order. Instead of beatings with a whip and massacres in the old world; the new world simply goes to Congress and get tax breaks and amendments that put power back in the hands of the corporations by lobbyists in Congress. The recent explosions in the Black communities have their roots in two centuries of slavery and Jim Crow laws that do what the slave owner did, emasculate the victims and make them feel powerless in the face of white authority. The election of an African-American President might be the saving of America that was nearly destroyed in the Civil War by a tiny group of slave owners who convinced their poor relatives that their "honor" had been abused, but in reality poor southern whites had no slaves and little money. The same game is played today when millions of poor whites are convinced that the rich one percent have their interests at heart, when in reality they have little money and no health care except for President Obama's "Obamacare." The new order of things in "Reaganomics" is corporate minimum-wage slavery if you can get a job! The Blackfeet Chiefs began to protest the incessant thievery of Blackfeet land and money when the white man from the States encroached upon the reservation. The State of Montana, and Congress of the United States are complicit in the massive land frauds of 100 million acres of Indian land across the nation. I am the last in line of Blackfeet landowners to pursue the Blackfeet land claims when the railroad and big-meat trusts got laws passed in Congress to get at the Indian's land and oil wells, and when the Indians filed claims to recover their stolen lands Congress passed laws to "outlaw justice" for Indian landowners robbed by corporate interests. The Blackfeet people developed a successful tribal cattle industry by 1893, hardly an accomplishment of "Indian savages" historians write about to cover up corporate genocide and slavery. I brought our stolen land claims to the Senate Indian Affairs Committee where they sit on a shelf awaiting "corporate" Congress to extinguish them after a century of Indian protest. Is that the historical record America wishes to export to the world?  Bob Juneau Sr.

"TRIBES AS RICH NATIONS" AN ARTICLE BY PROFESSOR RAY CROSS, COPYRIGHT U OF OREGON

Raymond Cross is a real Indian lawyer with real life victories  in the Supreme Court and in winning claims cases for the Fort Berthold Tribes for illegal takings of tribal lands for Garrison Dam which flooded the rich bottom lands that produced the tribal economy. Mr. Cross wrote, "Testimony by natural resource economists aided the Joint Tribal Advisory Commission in examination of Indian claims. The valuation standard used to make the Indians "whole" for their losses is to be measured by the capitalized values of the expected future incomes that would have been generated by these lands. Dr. Ronald Cummings, a leading natural resources economist was appointed by the Commission to do an assessment of the Indian's losses imposed by the 1949 taking of the Fort Berthold Reservation bottom lands flooded by Garrison Dam." Congress imposed an "Institutional Equity" requirement in Indian claims cases to insure that the Indians claims were heard with federal, state, and county governments on an equal basis. The Blackfeet claims have not been heard on an equal basis for a century! Blackfeet claims include usurpation of Blackfeet treaty rights, reserved tribal lands, water rights, cattle industry, oil wells, reservation economy and the sovereign status of the Blackfeet Nation. Tribal claims include illegal taking of reservation streams and lands by the Federal Reclamation Service for the St. Mary-Milk River Diversion to downstream water users. There are hundreds of Blackfeet allotted land titles converted to void Patent-in-Fee lands of border-whites who also usurped Blackfeet cattle ranchers special treaty rights contained in the 1896 Agreement/Article Five. The stolen cattle industry and allotted lands provide border-whites $85,000,000 in annual revenues generated from the stolen allotted lands and cattle herds of the Indians. The Blackfeet Tribe has claims to losses of a billion dollars worth of oil revenues robbed by border-whites, and oil companies. "Forced Fee Patents Cases on the Blackfeet Indian Reservation" estimated by the Senate Indian Affairs Committee @ $600 million with 4% interest from 1912 bringing total valuation of Blackfeet Tribe and Blackfeet Original Allottees losses somewhere in the neighborhood of $2.5 billion dollars. Nobody knows the true value of the Blackfeet Claims because western Congressmen elected by cattlemen will not support Indian claims restoring Indian land titles on Indian reservations across the United States. The Indian claims would rid the Indians of border-white parasites that drain the lifeblood of Indian economies on Indian reservations on lands that are the private-property of the Indians under a federal treaty. I have worked on the Blackfeet claims since 1982, and helped to bring tribal resolution #224-2001 to the Senate Indian Affairs Committee requesting an investigation of the forced patents cases in 2001, but nothing has come of our tribal government request for institutional equity. I am alone in the quest for justice for an estimated 100 million acres of allotted lands of 17,000 Indian Money Damage Claimants on Indian reservations across the United States. I would appreciate any legal or financial assistance from anyone in pursuing our claims. I was told if the Blackfeet win their claims all tribes and Indians would win their claims like a virus through Indian Country.
