Comments on: Indian Land Trust Abuse and the Woman Who Finally Got US to Pay Up
Let’s be civil.
The Flathead Beacon encourages vigorous discussion and lively debate, but we will delete comments that attack other readers, make accusations we can’t verify, stray too far off topic, criticize local businesses (call them if you have a problem), convict someone of a crime, use profanity or are simply judged to be in bad taste. We don’t always have someone moderating comments, so we ask for your help: If you see a comment that violates these ground rules, or you simply deem it offensive, please e-mail webmaster [at] flatheadbeacon.com.

That is lot of money for sure….Billions. NOW…..as for the Blacfeet Reservation…...I hope the money goes to some good use and not alcohol abuse. In the last 30 years I have seen Browning go from a nice place to a rat hole. Garbage every where and lost hope.

For years the native Americans have been down trodden and what business ventures they had or bought…....were totally wasted.

ITS TIME…....TO BAN ALCOHOL…....from the Reservation….like the various Alaska Native Villages did…..get rid of the booze and begin a positive step up the social ladder not ruined by drunks and crummy garbage filled wrecked cars and run down houses.

The Native Americans still get monthly payments…..with not having to work for a living. Take the $$$ from this government payback…....and make some jobs and MAKE SOME REAL HOPE….....and don’t squander it an come back in 3 years and say….....WE NEED MORE $$$.....we did not plan an most was wasted on bad ideas….....SO GET GOING AN MAKE POSITIVE MOVES THAT HELP YOUR FUTURE LOOK BRIGHTER THAN IS HAS FOR THE LAST 100 YEARS.
