William Old Chief: Corruption ignored on Blackfeet Reservation



William Old Chief, a former chairman of the Blackfeet Nation of Montana, says corruption on the reservation is being ignored:

Crime has gone rampant on the reservation because there is no leadership; as a matter of fact, it is the leadership who is breaking the law and telling law enforcement, “You can’t touch me, I’m sovereign.” 

Residential break-ins have increased because the thieves know there will be no investigation or prosecution. Each week, reports of crimes on the Blackfeet reservation are common knowledge in all the state’s newspapers, radio and television stations.

 The president is sending John Kerry to the Middle East for peace talks; I wish he would stop on the Blackfeet reservation and utilize his peace-making skills here and help stop the suffering of the people who have illegally lost their jobs and have no means to support their families or those who are living in constant fear of reprisal because of fabricated charges.

 No one seems to care! Millions of taxpayer dollars are wasted, stolen or misused and no one cares. The BIA, when asked for assistance in this matter that has existed since Aug. 27, 2012, reply that it’s an internal conflict. What about their “Trust Responsibility” they talk about when it comes to our money from tribal resources and now the Elouise Cobell record $3.4 billion settlement? They sure don’t turn that over to the tribes and say, “That’s an internal conflict”; you manage the money.

SCRIPTURES

ISAIAH 9:16 For the leaders of this people cause them to err; and they that are led of them are destroyed.
17 Therefore the Lord shall have no joy in their young men, neither shall have mercy on their fatherless and widows: for every one is an hypocrite and an evildoer, and every mouth speaketh folly. For all this his anger is not turned away, but his hand is stretched out still.
18 For wickedness burneth as the fire: it shall devour the briers and thorns, and shall kindle in the thickets of the forest, and they shall mount up like the lifting up of smoke.
19 Through the wrath of the LORD of hosts is the land darkened, and the people shall be as the fuel of the fire: no man shall spare his brother.
20 And he shall snatch on the right hand, and be hungry; and he shall eat on the left hand, and they shall not be satisfied: they shall eat every man the flesh of his own arm:
GENESIS 49:19 Gad, a troop shall overcome him: but he shall overcome at the last

REVELATION 7:5 Of the tribe of Juda were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Reuben were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Gad were sealed twelve thousand.
