The federal government claims that they don't have enough money to properly run 'Indian Affairs' [Amerind Affairs.] The claim is an obvious lie [See below.] The solution is really very simple. There is a government Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA). As with government agencies, there is a current head of the BIA and past heads of the BIA. What the government needs to do is to hire a professional money collector who goes to said head(s) of the BIA and says, "You're short a few billion dollars of money owed to the Indians, under the law. Come up with the money, or I take it out of your hide and have your dependents work the streets until the money is paid back, including interest." [The Indians can legally hire such a person, UNLESS Congress forbids them to do so. If Congress forbids the Indians from doing so, then Congress, jointly and severally is clearly guilty of constructive fraud. Constructive fraud, involving the sums under discussion is a felony crime. In theory, the members of Congress could then be put in jail.] However, as has been pointed out, the Amerinds don't have enough votes to force the issue.
Billions Missing From U.S. Indian Trust Fund
In his testimony before Congress, John Echohawk, director of Native American Rights Fund, called it "yet another serious and continuing breach in a long history of dishonorable treatment of Indian tribes and individual Indians by the United States government."
Arizona Senator John McCain, the chairman of the Senate Committee on Indian Affairs, bluntly called it "theft from Indian people."
These men were describing the single largest and longest-lasting financial scandal in history involving the federal government of the United States.
With no other recourse left at their disposal, NARF, along with other attorneys, filed a class action lawsuit in federal district court on June 10 on behalf of more than 300,000 American Indians. The suit charges Secretary of the Interior Bruce Babbitt, Assistant Interior Secretary of the Interior for Indian Affairs Ada Deer and Secretary of the Treasury Robert Rubin with illegal conduct in regard to the management of Indian money held in trust accounts and managed by the Bureau of Indian Affairs.
If the lawsuit's claims are correct, and there's an overwhelming body of evidence that suggests they are, then the federal government has lost, misappropriated or, in some cases, stolen billions of dollars from some of its poorest citizens.
"The BIA has spent more than 100 years mismanaging, diverting and losing money that belongs to Indians." The trust accounts in question -- which hold approximately $450 million at any given time -- aren't filled with government handouts. They contain money that belongs to individual Indians who have earned it from a variety of sources such as oil and gas production, grazing leases, coal production and timber sales on their allotted lands.

Every government in the history of Earth has done its best to keep the pissants poor and working. The idea is to confiscate every dime that the pissant doesnt absolutely need for survival. The socialists & liberals think they can get it all, and that people can exist on fraternal love and good will. Anarchists advocate honor among thieves. But the soccer moms & sissies who control the center know that you gotta leave the peasants something...just not too much.

"Change we can Believe in?"
Yeah I hear the words but I see no action, not for the Native American's, who have been butt fucked for 150 years, nor for the GLBT team, nor for the paycheck to paycheck crowd,
The only action I have seen BO take is to support the AIG's and Goldman Sachs of the world. W and BO had said that they were too big to allow to fail. I think that is the problem, that we let them get "too big to fail."
It is interesting that in the week that MJ died we have seen hours of "precious TV time" about his life and times but no TV news has pumped the Rolling Stones article about how Goldman Sachs raped the Treasury?
"As long as the grass grows and the rivers run", the US government will screw the indians. As long as the grass grows and the rivers run, the US Government will spoon feed the great political contribution machines that are Wall Street bankers.
