EDUCATION GENOCIDE OF INDIAN CHILDREN DOCUMENTED IN SURVEY OF MONTANA SCHOOLS IN 2013

The roots of Indian education genocide began with the "kill the Indian, save the child" Indian education policy of the United States Government Assimilation Policy to strip the Indian child of his culture, religion, traditions, and history and convert him to a white child, Christian religion, and a permanent object of ridicule and second-class citizens of the United States. The truth is that Indians have not had a problem "assimilating" into the new order of things and the new economy. The Blackfeet Indians built a successful, self-reliant cattle industry on the reservation by 1893, that made the Indian ranchers rich and satisfied in the new economy. Border-whites are white men who build their rich-man dreams on stealing Indian land and property and encroaching on Indian land and robbing oil wells, cattle herds, and grazing lands of Indian reservations. Public schools do not teach the true history of Montana's role in robbing the Indians and reducing the Indians to a century of poverty, all the while labeling Indians as "savages" and in particular, the Blackfeet Indians are remembered in Montana history books as "bloodthirsty savages" who needed to be exterminated to make room for the Christian settlers and freedom and liberty of white people. Quite the opposite is true, as the white men robbed, killed and scalped Blackfeet men, women and children at Fort Benton, and brought the scalps into the town for drunken scalp dances and to redeem $50 bounties for each scalp, with Indian baby scalps prized because "nits make lice" as the Montana border-whites expressed infanticide of Indian children. It is a century of shame for any Christian people and American citizens to bear, but they do not have to bear the shame as it is placed on the Indian victims. There is a study done by the Federal Department of Education in 2013 in which the professional consultant described "education genocide" of Indian school children in Montana Public Schools, whereby he described to the roomful of mean-faced Montana educators that Indian children outperform white children until the 4th grade when they suddenly shut down and fall behind, and the realization comes over them that the system is not geared for them, as only a child can tell by the environment of the classroom. The State Superintendent of Public Instruction has not publicly commented on the "education genocide" of Indian children in Montana Public Schools, why did we send her there? Has she buried it? You would assume that public schools on Indian reservations administered by Indian school board and Indian superintendent would save the Indian children under their care, but not so at Browning Public Schools which has a 50% drop-out rate and severe disciplinary policies that traumatize the children, who need psychological counseling from mental injury suffered in Browning schools. It is a fact! Many former students are suffering from mental depression and anxiety documented by Social Security Disability Program psychologists who traced the students mental problems right to Browning schools. I am trying to bring the problem to the public attention of Blackfeet parents of students in Browning schools to change the problem and to get help for damaged former students, and students who are being damaged as we speak, it is real! I want to start a class-action lawsuit against Glacier County for these injuries. And, I want our tribal government to get behind the Blackfeet parents and support our children!  Bob Juneau Sr.
