In Southern Alberta, Harper and Duncan received names and head dresses from the Blood #148 and the Piegan #147 Indian Reserves; contrary to values, beliefs and traditions of the Blackfoot Confederacy.

According to the traditionalists and Nii tsii ta pii ko waiks, these bestowments should never have occurred. The community of the Blood Indian Reserve have refused to acknowledge the bestowment and is viewed as treason and blasphemy according to the teachings of the Blackfoot Nation.

These two individuals(Harper and Duncan) are advocates of Genocide!  Current Aboriginal Affairs Minister Valcourt also believes and implements genocide.

-
Valcourt has received all the information about corruption on the Blood Indian Reserve and refuses to intervene or request an investigation. 

-
In the Blood Tribe Lands Department, the Director along with its Committee members are using this department to launder kickbacks and is shared by the Chief, Chairman and Elliot Fox. They charge a $13 an acre signing fee;  it is reported that the Reserve has at least 200,000 acres under cultivation.
 -
If this amount is accurate (200,000 x $13.00 per acre) = $2.6 million dollars unaccounted for annually. These cheques were not obtained by the Tribal auditors – Meyers, North and Penny – Lethbridge, Alberta;  they were shared by one of the farmer’s book keeper; “she was told to keep quiet about these cheques or they will  not be allowed to farm on the Reservation”. Many of the farmers have indicated they have had to pay this amount and is still currently being practiced.
 -

We were able to locate copies of cancelled cheques 1 farmer paid to Elliot Fox, copies are on this link, they go back to 2001.

 -
Another issue that has surfaced was the First Nations Education announcement on February 7th.2014 at the Kainai High School, Chief Weaselhead and his Councillors endorsed this deal. Community  members were shocked to hear that the Blood Tribe has agreed to this legislation. The community was never informed and knew nothing about it. Some of the youth who showed up to ask questions were escorted out, a link is enclosed for your information.

Piikani unrest

With a band election scheduled this winter, members of a local First Nation are demanding that their council – with just seven members, and no chief – scrap its plans for a new hockey rink.

Piikani Nation member Dominic Crowshoe, describing “third world” conditions on the reserve at Brocket, vowed Wednesday to raise a teepee on band administration land in protest of decisions being made by seven council members as their terms near an end.

Although the Piikani received $64 million in compensation for loss of land when the Oldman Dam was built, he said band members are no better off. Crowshoe said council has not effectively addressed unemployment, alcohol and drug abuse issues.

Piikani member Angela Wolf Tail, speaking at a small gathering outside the band’s Administration Building, called on band members “to join me in standing against the corruption that has plagued our nation.”

She told reporters a group of seven council members is too few to pass or alter band council resolutions. Now a non-member – a federal judge – will be making decisions about the community’s future.

Elected chief Gayle Strikes With A Gun was suspended in 2012 over allegations of nepotism and a conflict of interest in dealing with a financial transfer. She was later ousted, leaving the band council without its leader.

Wolf Tail called on Piikani members to vote against their council’s plan to use $2 million of the $64 million received in 2002 to build an ice sports facility.

That money, she said, “can be better spent on building a homeless shelter, and a few homes for those who need them most.

“We still live in poverty,” she said. “Masking our homes with siding doesn’t cover up the insides of these homes, where up to three or more families are living in one house.”

A vote on changes to the band’s “custom election bylaw” should not be on the same ballot as the ice arena question, she added. Band council has ordered a referendum on Oct. 6 and 7, asking for project approval as well as a decision on whether the next council should consist of a chief and 12 councillors, or just eight.

As well, voters will be asked if council’s term should be reduced from four years to three.

Wolf Tail also spoke against band council’s decision to invite a Court of Queen’s Bench justice to rule on aspects of a Piikani Investment Corporation proposal. She said it involves a debt of more than $14 million.

NDP forces debate on murdered and missing aboriginal women

ABOVE: NDP Peter Julian discusses the parliamentary maneuver they used to force a debate on murdered and missing aboriginal women 

OTTAWA – The NDP has used a tactical ploy to force a debate in the House of Commons about the need for an inquiry into murdered and missing aboriginal women.

The Opposition caught Conservatives by surprise, waiting until they had filed out of the House after the daily question period.

The NDP then rushed their own members back in and out-voted the remaining Tories to approve the debate.

Romeo Saganash, an NDP member from northern Quebec region, has told the House that aboriginal women are much more likely to be victims of violence than non-native women.

Saganash says an inquiry is needed to get to root causes.

Conservative Susan Truppe defended the government’s record on murdered and missing aboriginal women.
