“Blood Tribe” [Kainai Band of Blackfoot Nation] Members’ Worst Fears Unfolding

Posted on July 15, 2014 by jimcraven

Blood Tribe members’ worst fears unfolding

BY LETTER TO THE EDITOR ON JULY 12, 2014.

I have a serious concern about all the developments that are occurring at Blood Tribe Department of Health Inc., which is situated in Standoff on the Blood Reserve.

Here we have professional trained employees attempting to continue working in an environment of bullying tactics by senior management in the administration as well as an unclear direction that BTDH Inc. is heading to without a board of directors in place.

We had board elections on March 25, 2014 and on the same day of elections, chief and council passed a band council resolution no longer supporting a Ten Year Fiscal Transfer Agreement between BTDH Inc. and Health Canada, First Nations Inuit Health. The passing of the band council resolution, I would have to say, is one of the most irresponsible actions of our elected leaders and they have continued to block the newly elected board members to begin their duties as a board of trustees. Today, over three months after the elections, the board members are still not sworn in and three council members does not form a quorum on the board.

Blood Tribe Department of Health Inc. is incorporated under the Canada Not-For-Profit Act of 1983 and therefore is subject to its conditions. Nowhere under the NFP Act does chief and council have any legal authority as per the corporate bylaws; the actions of our leaders’ interference with the election process can be termed as violating the constitutional rights of the members of the Blood Tribe. BTDH Inc. is incorporated as a membership organization.

On reserves across Canada there is one word which keeps cropping up – accountability.

Members of the Blood Tribe brought up that word again and again Thursday afternoon at a town hall at the Sik-Ooh-Kotoki Friendship Centre, hosted by MP and Liberal Aboriginal Affairs critic Carolyn Bennett.

She ripped into the Conservative government for what Bennett called a refusal co-operate with First Nations peoples on treaty issues, saying there are simply too many cases going to court.

“Of all the government money spent on lawyers, over half of that is spent on aboriginal issues,” said Bennett. “It’s unconscionable that we are spending that kind of money.”

A federal government more accountable to the First Nations people it serves is necessary, she added.

“This has to be all about a new way of doing business.”

City of Vancouver B.C. formally declares city is on unceded Aboriginal territory

Vancouver city council has unanimously voted to acknowledge that the city is on unceded Aboriginal territory.

Mayor Gregor Robertson declared a ‘Year of Reconciliation’ last summer, in the hopes of building new relationships between Aboriginals and Vancouverites.

“Underlying all other truths spoken during the Year of Reconciliation is the truth that the modern city of Vancouver was founded on the traditional territories of the Musqueam, Squamish and Tsleil-Waututh First Nations and that these territories were never ceded through treaty, war or surrender,” reads part of the motion from the city.

The city says it will now work with representatives from the Aboriginal community to determine “appropriate protocols” for conducting city business.

“Redskins”: The Origin of the Word and the Genocide Behind It.

“Redskins”: The Origin of the Word and Genocide Behind it

What is life?

Crowfoot, a Blackfoot warrior [defender] and orator, said it well……..

“What is life? It is the flash of a firefly in the night. It is the breath of a buffalo in the wintertime. It is the little shadow which runs across the grass and loses itself in the sunset.”

Life is beautiful, mysterious, filled with strength and challenges….life roars like the lion, but has the gentle touch of a beautiful woman. There are no blacks and whites in life. There are no guarantees. But this is the beauty of life.

The Mystery…..

Do you want to know the true meaning of redskin? The term used to refer to American Indians…the same one used by a national sports team….the same term that American Indians protest? It’s not about skin color. It’s about atrocities committed against this nation’s first people. So, if you are interested in truth….you’ll take the time to listen.

The time it takes to download, depends upon your internet connection. It will be a longer wait for dialup – but if you really want to learn truth, you’ll take the time to listen.

It is a short time to wait, for a valuable lesson in truth-the real truth. Is 8-10 minutes too long of a time to wait, to learn the truth?

The voice you hear is Rev. Goat Carson….his ballad will teach you the truth about what redskin really means. If you dare to listen to truth. Dare to listen!   Continue reading →

Is Blood Band Not covered by Charter?

Posted on June 20, 2014 by jimcraven
Traditional Indigenous Definition/Model of Sustainable Development that respects the Real Sources and Foundations of Creation

One Traditional Indigenous Definition/Model of Sustainable Development that recognizes and respects the Real Sources and Foundations of All of Creation. In many ways, Traditional Indigenous societies two hundred years ago were 200 years ahead of the present in terms of awareness of totalities and intricate webs of life forms and all that they are an integral and interdependent part of.

Is Blood Band not covered by Charter?

truth served up 537325_667482453273623_665784745_n

BY LETTER TO THE EDITOR ON JUNE 19, 2014.

Never in the history of the Blood Tribe have we ever experienced such aggressive and hostile governance towards empowerment and self-determination. With the recent developments on the Blood Indian Reserve #148, totalitarianism and fascism have set in; we now have an autocratic regime that believe in annihilation of treaty, aboriginal and indigenous rights.

TheCanaryEffectDVD

What we are seeing are forms of governance initiated by Hitler, Stalin, Saddam Hussein, Idi Amin and more.

This chief and council has no comprehension of “peace, order and good governance” entrenched in the Canada Act of 1982. Recently, a tribal member was persecuted for believing and practising his rights to farming entrenched in Treaty No. 7.

Prior to Canada becoming a dominion, the Blood Band entered into the Lame Bull Treaty with the U.S. in 1855. The Blood Band already was a sovereign nation; Canada did not exist.

Wasi’chu: The Continuing Indian Wars

From Wasi’chu: The Continuing Indian Wars by Bruce Johansen and Roberto Maestas, Monthly Review Press, N.Y. 1979; Introduction, John Redhouse, 1979

“Gold is a wonderful thing! Whoever owns it is lord of all he wants. With gold it is even possible to open for souls the way to paradise!” [Columbus, letter to Isabella and Ferdinand, 1503]

Later, I learned that Pahuska [Lakota name “Long Hair for George Armstrong Custer] had found there much of the yellow metal that makes the Wasi’chu crazy.” [Black Elk, on the U.S. Army expediton to the Black Hills, 1874]

Introduction by John Redhouse

Wasi’chu is the Lakota (Sioux[sic]) word for ‘greedy one who takes the fat.’ It was used to describe a strange race that took not only what it thought it needed [and that “God’s preordination of them as “the Elect” made their needs and wants imperatives]. but also took the rest.

First Nations Education Act: Genocide in Indian Country

Posted on May 16, 2014 by jimcraven

Subject: First Nations Education Act
From: kchiefmoon@gmail.com
Date: Mon, 12 May 2014 08:11:38 -0600

Dear Ms. Galloway:

I read your recent article regarding the education of First Nations and Aboriginal people; this government is so out of touch that I believe they can’t understand the mechanics of what the situation is.

Firstly, Harper believes he is on track by hob-knobbing with Atleo and Weaselhead; Atleo has no idea about treaties due to the fact he is an Indian Act Indian,
Weaselhead has never gone to a post secondary institution and is functionally illiterate.

The AFN is an extension of the Aboriginal Affairs Canada branch, they receive
funds to operate and therefore do as they are told. This scenario very dangerous
for the Aboriginal People of Canada, in 1969 Jean Chretien developed the White
Paper and was going to follow Uncle Sam’s policy and implement the Indian Reorganization Act and annihilate all Reservations across the country.

New Video: Unist’ot’en camp at the front lines of fossil fuel battl

Togestiy, Unist’ot’en, 07/05/14

Some Indian bands have signed agreements regarding the Pacific Trail Pipeline, but the Wet’suwet’en hereditary clans claim jurisdiction over their territories, where they demand the right to free, prior and informed consent and the right to say “no” to pipelines. Below is a new video explaining the importance of front line defense against fracked gas and tarsands bitumen featuring Togestiy, an organizer of the Unist’ot’en camp in north central British Columbia. Join the Construction Camp (May 12-30) and the Action Camp (July 16-20) http://unistotencamp.com/

“This idea of signing petitions, of walking peacefully in a peaceful protest downtown is something that is going to make a difference. And sure it makes a difference in terms of people becoming aware, but the majority of people stop there, and think that, that was enough for them to make that difference. But the radical politics that we’re promoting forces people to take it a step farther. Because that old model hasn’t worked. The model that we’re presenting is actually physically making a difference on the ground. We’re hoping people take the time to take their responsibilities on this planet seriously. If you guys get a chance to bring children into this world, you’ll want to give those children the best possible world you can as well as the best education and honestly you’re not going to be able to do that if you stay within institutions within the system. If you offer a world that allows them to see outside of those institutions and outside of colonialism you’ll be doing them a huge favor. This world needs people to be awake.”

Federal Judge Quashes Decision by ‘Blood’ Tribe Band Council

Posted on March 11, 2014 by jimcraven

 

 Judge Quashes Decision By Blood Tribe Band Council
LETHBRIDGE: A decision by the Blood Tribe Band Council has been quashed by a federal judge.
Back in December they decided not to renew permits to allow Joachim Hengerer to continue farming reserve lands, which he’s farmed for registered occupants since 1981. That’s despite a contract with those occupants that the permits would be allowed until March of 2016.

 

The council gave seven reasons for their decision, claiming that he disregarded several directions from the Band and made racist comments (See below). You can read their full list of concerns by using the link at the bottom of this story.

 

The land occupants and Hengerer raised concerns that they were never able to address any of those issues, as the Band Council without consulting those who would be impacted.

Federal Court Quashes Blood Band Council’s Position That Land Occupants Have No Rights!

Posted on March 8, 2014 by jimcraven

March 6, 2014, Blood Indian Reserve #148, Standoff, Alberta

For Immediate release:

Federal Court quashes “Blood Band Council’s position, that Land Occupants have no rights”!

In a Federal Court decision, March 6, 2014, a Federal Court judge dismissed the Blood Chief and Council’s legal position that “Indians have no rights on the Blood Indian Reserve #148, Standoff, Alberta”! And to remove Joachim Hengerer not to honor the two years remaining on his agriculture permit. The decision to remove Hengerer was a result of seven baseless accusations that were proved false and were malicious in nature.

The matter arose in December, Blood Chief and Council arbitrarily and unanimously decided that Hengerer a local farmer who has been farming for the past 3 decades can no longer farm on the Reserve. Mr. Hengerer shared the news with the land occupants he farms for. Attempts were made to have an audience with Chief and Council for details on the non-renewal; Council took the position that they are not required to deliberate any decisions they have made and by law they don’t have to report to anyone including the membership of the Reserve.
