You know all that native land on the reserve doesn't belong to just one person, it all belong to everyone on the reserve. So you old guys out there should give some of your land back to the band. give everyone a chance to become wealthy.
Lets say their is 12050 plus people on our reserve, and their is probably more but lets just that much, and I know that you know how many people are the Blood Reserve. 12050 * 900.00 = 10845000.00, thats ten million eight hundred forty five thousand dollars, and the oil deal was approximately 50000000.00 dollars, well least thats what I read. If you minus
The 10845000.00 thats being distributed to the people on the Blood Reserve, what is left over is 39155000.00, that is thirty nine million hundred, fifty-five thousand dollars still left over, so... where does the rest go to "Our" resouces, how many times are you going to pull the wool over our eyes. You if the people get over a thousand then the government will caught them off. Explain this, how come Brocket got over 3000.00 a piece at one time, and during the summer of 2010 Siksika got 1500.00
dollars a piece, and the majority of the people on both those Reserves Brocket, and Siksika are on welfare. Why didn't the government cut-us off welfare back in the 80's when the Blood Reserve got 2000.00 a piece.
It's been about 6yrs since you’ve been the Head Chief for the Blood Tribe. I have 2-say I'm impressed with your public appearances in our gatherings, such as pow wows, stick games, sports, and most important our ceremonies. I have to say our past leaders were not so public when they said they were going 2b. There are something’s that need to be questioned and answered. There are so many points to
start from, first of all, how come we as the Blood Tribe haven’t flourished since u got in, and it's not like the previous chiefs did much so try not to feel too-bad, just think of it as something you should look into. I once heard that the Chief & Council have to get things approved through Walsh & Creighton law or something to that affect, and Darlene Plume CEO. Why is that? "We" the Kainai people keep
hearing that Chief and Council are having meetings in Kalispell Montana, Great Falls Montana, Las Vegas Nevada, and so forth. In one or two or even three of the council members stated in their campaign that they would push for meetings here in our own office, what I’m trying to say give "Us" the honest truth, does chief & council pay for -their own trips or does our band for your trips. Look let’s get serious, our children are still suffering,
families are still fighting, most of our people are still jobless and on welfare, our education system is still low. And we all know that when Chief Chris Shade was in power, they made a deal with whomever it was this Alta-Link and made a deal for a certain amount of money and now the word is we are all getting 600.00 dollars in two installments. Look those power lines cut right across the
north end of the Blood Reserve and this is going to be for-life not for a couple of year’s it’s for-life! We should all be getting 500,000 dollars a year. I mean didn’t we learn through Brocket look at Brocket they sold some kind of river and now they can’t fish or even swim in it that river or let’s just say they can’t utilize it in whatever way possible. They settled on a 3000.00 dollars per-person and this was supposed
to last them a life time…3000.00 dollars! Roy Fox I know what you’re saying “Roy Fox is old news” but what I’m saying is “didn’t we learn from Roy Fox, Roy Fox sold our Oil & Gas rights back in the 80’s and everybody got 2000.00 dollars for a lifetime. Damn it! Doesn’t that bring anger into your thoughts? Am I right, please correct me if I’m wrong. Let’s move onto something you might be interested in. Have you
seen what the Native American people are doing in the United States, they have their own Casino’s! Oh yeah Sarcee has their own casino to and many tribes throughout Canada as well have their own Casino’s. So what does that tell you? What would be the answer, or should I say what would be the excuse this time for not looking into a Casino, or investments rather than investing into potato farms,
and farms in general. Let’s look into the future, I mean come on your our leader, take charge rather than trying to make your own stake, and making sure that your own family is well taking care of. You work, so your family is always in good hands. Don’t worry about them worry about our people, isn’t that your job am I right? I mean “We” keep hearing excuse after excuse after excuse. Ask yourself what are
you and the council really doing to help your people. Please don’t get me wrong, I’m not trying to bash you or any other council member, but I just can’t help myself from saying what’s the truth. I once heard from a very wise man on the reserve, he said “The truth hurts more than anything, people run from it every chance they get” that’s not a good thing when comes to our people of the
Blood Tribe, we should be looking into our children’s future rather than ours, or should I say rather than yours and the rest of our council. I can only imagine what you’re thinking; my guess is your saying “Wow this guy really wants a casino. Well that’s not what I’m thinking, that’s not the point, the point is these other tribes made a move, they took a chance made out perfect for there people.
The Blood Tribe is in a good location for a casino, Im a Blood tribal member and i live here in Washington State, all the tribes here have casinos, and taking care of their ppl, location is what counts, most casinos here are along the I-5 highway corridor from Washington state all the way down to California thats how long I-5 highway is and Indian casinos and their hotels are making big here in Washington state..i say the Blood tribe has a great location to make money.
@whatitisnative ...any casino attracts what can be described as a negative human element. so, this casino should be on a strip of aquired land 5 miles away Off the rez! keep this business far from youre families houses!
Think about, yes I know it’s hard to distribute thousands of dollars to a 10,000 plus people reserve. Look almost every Native tribe in Canada has rights, but there almost gone from what I’VE HEARD. If you’ve been paying attention for the centuries, then United States Indians never have any rights what so ever, and their flourishing to say the least. Let me just throw something out there that may get your attention and the rest of the council member’
I was on the internet and I looked up the richest Native Tribes in north America, and one them is the Seminoles tribe, they bought the Hard Rock cafes for 965 million dollars, and these people get 4000.00 a month from their tribe “An effort from their leaders”, I’ve people say that’s breathtaking, they get a new house if their moving back home, paid for,
@whatitisnative .................what?? you cant expect to have a house built for you! its a personal luxury! so you must earn the cash, get the materials and do it youreself! No tribal funds should be expended on private luxury items like a fancy new house! ..unless its an elder or someone with a disability, who needs to be placed in an updated living situation. then the band may build a small house for them.
and if they have to pay for it, well their 4000.00 dollars a month distribution will pay for it in a matter of years…geez months!. To me that’s astonishing this word means: surprise or impress (someone) greatly. We Blood Indians are always saying we are smart, and a proud people, we never look for hand me downs we take care of our own, shit I’ve been wearing hand me-downs since I was born. I wasn’t going to bring this up,
but I’ve been reading this letter that I’m writing to you and the rest of the council members. Remember what Sheldon said in his campaign, he stated he would open up the books and let “Us” people know where the money is going to and so forth, but all I see him doing is partying, and that’s nothing new but that mustang is sure new, that’s close to an 80,000 dollar car.
Sorry Sheldon but somebody had to say it sooner or later. Some of you were pretty vocal in your campaigns, but for example I never see Sheldon or any of the council member’s around, and that’s nothing new as well. All I know is one thing, I’ll pray for our people, and by god I think that’s all we’ve been doing is praying for wealth and prosperity, let’s just say a better life on the res.
