> There is going to be a meeting of the Blackfoot Nation next Saturday,
February
> 12 starting at 9 am in the Winter Lodge of the Yakama Nation Culture
Center in
> Toppenish, WA. The subject is the recently declared independence of the
> Blackfoot Nation from Canada and the United States. There will be other
topics
> such as the right of members to vote in the elections of the Blackfeet Tribe
> and the enrollment of members who are now only classified as descendants.
>
> A question has arisen regarding the difference between the Blackfoot Nation
> and  the Blackfeet Tribal Business Council at Browning, Montana, and the
Blood
> Tribe  Band Council and Peigan Band Council in Canada. The answer is we are
> one and the same people. We do not advocate the overthrow the present tribal
> council or  band  forms of government . They are a reality. As the
Blackfoot Nation
> we do seek to change those systems  of governmental forms that do not
> represent the best interests of our people.
>
> When you attend the meeting of the Blackfoot Nation you will learn the
> difference. For example, as one people we do not recognize the right of the
> white governments of Canada and the United States to have the final
say-so in
> our lives, such as deciding who will be defined as an Indian. Ladies and
> gentleman: we are opposed to genocide. Plain and simple.
>
> We invite people to a scholarly and realistic reading of all Canadian and
U. S.
> government laws effecting the lives of native people then as yourself if
they
> truly represent our best interests as human being, having right to our
own form
> of government.
