The tribal power was freely given, but recoverable; permanent power was unattainable, and coercion was impossible; the power was spread out to 12 or13 band chiefs, with a head chief and two subordinate chiefs chosen by the people. Today the tribal council power is altered by the few tribal political families and the charasmatic tribal chief, and a vertical power structure concentrating the power in a few people with the majority of people consigned to a life of poverty. Political unrest on Indian reservations is spreading nationwide, and the issue of white rule on Indian reservations, and the white-oriented Indians bringing white rule to the reservatiion by promoting state law and state jurisdiction over free treaty Indians. Tribal treaty law is paramount with the removal of white patent-in-fee landowners a priority to re-establish tribal sovereignty and tribal economy. For instance the removal of 30 white ranchers and farmers would add 500,000 acres to the tribal land base to the teeaty guaranteed 1,440,000 acres of allotted Blackfeet lands and $75,000,000 in profits to allotted landowners now taken by whites. The enrollment of Blackfeet descendants will double the federal treaty obligation funds from $110,000,000 to $220,000,000 for IHS-BIA services, tribal housing authority, tribal job training funds, and education funding for B.C.C. and higher education grants. The descendants will inherit the Blackfeet allotted lands. The enrollment issues arise from the government boarding schools, relocation program, and the marriages of Blackfeet to other tribal members, which descendants are mostly Indians, some full-bloods but not enough of one tribe to qualify for enrollment. They are our children and grandchildren. We are pleased to provide a tribal forum for tribal members to voice their opinions-and to contribute information to share with everyone.Our enemies are the white people who have so spitefully stolen our illiterate grandma's land and called it Glacier County with no conscience at all. I hope the treaty illiterate tribal council and white-oriented state senator and county commissioners will confess their robberies of Blackfeet land and invasion of tribal sovereignty and come home to papa. white man no love you.
