Chief Red Cloud (age 90) to Obama: Black Hills are Not For Sale -

There has yet been NO response


Chief Oliver Red Cloud, Lakota, issued a statement to President Obama requesting a meeting more than two weeks ago and is yet to receive a response. Chief Red Cloud, 90, told Obama the Black Hills are not — and have never been — for sale

September 13, 2009
The Honorable Barack H. Obama
President of the United States of America
The White House
1600 Pennsylvania Avenue NW
Washington, DC 20500

Dear Mr. President:

I am the Itancan (chief) of the Oglala Lakota Band of the Great Sioux Nation and Chairman of the Black Hills Sioux Nation Treaty Council, the traditional governing body of the eight bands of the Lakota Nation.

The Lakota Nation entered into and has always abided by the provisions of the Fort Laramie Treaties of 1851 and 1868. However, the United States of America has repeatedly violated and unilaterally attempted to abrogate the Treaties in violation of accepted international standards and codified international treaty law.

The Black Hills Sioux Nation Treaty Council, acting under the guidelines of Article XI of the U.S. Constitution, reaffirms its declaration of inherent authority as a separate and distinct entity from the 1934 Indian Reorganization Act Government of the Bureau of Indian Affairs in the Interior Department of the United States Government. The Black Hills Sioux Nation Treaty Council is committed to upholding the 1851 and 1868 Ft. Laramie Treaties and will employ its’ inherent authority to decision making and leadership to protect the integrity of, and our rights in these treaties.

The I.R.A. Government acts as an extension of the United States and carries out its orders.
Your office has sent a mandate to Lakota Bands to initiate a dialogue concerning the Black Hills Land Claim Settlement. How can the United States Government negotiate with I.R.A. Governments, which is an extension of itself?

It is necessary to issue this statement due to current discussions between I.R.A. Tribal Presidents, regarding the United States Governments’ Supreme Court action to award monies for the illegal taking of the 1851 and 1868 Ft. Laramie Treaty Territory and other Treaty violations.

We forever oppose the acceptance of any money for our sacred lands.

We recently met with U.S. Senator John Thune’s staff to discuss our frustration with the I.R.A. Governments blatant disregard for our inherent authority over treaty issues.

I am 90 years old now. I have spent the better part of my adult life fighting for the return of our sacred He Sapa (Black Hills). I want to create something better for the next seven generations.


I would like to meet with you as soon as possible to address our concerns. Please have your staff contact my administrative assistant, Natalie Hand at (605) 867-5762 (605) 867-5762 , for scheduling.

Sincerely,
_____________________________________________

Officials declared the area around the city of Messina in north east Sicily a disaster zone after three hours of thunderstorms brought "apocalyptic" scenes of destruction.

Saturday, October 3, 2009 - Roads, rail lines and buildings were submerged in water and engulfed by rocks and trees. Worst hit were mountain villages Giampilieri and Briga, where nine inches of rain swept away cars and homes.

Concetta Auditore, 77, said: "It was like hell. Everything collapsed in on us."

HARVEST MOON: This weekend's full Moon has a special name--the Harvest Moon. It's the full moon closest to the northern autumnal equinox (Sept. 23). In years past, farmers depended on the light of the Harvest Moon to gather ripening crops late into the night.

THE ONLY SINKHOLE NEWS THIS MORNING

Caesar Windsor casino 'a sinkhole'

CBC News (Canada) - ‎1 hour ago‎
A Conservative MPP slammed Caesars Windsor on Thursday, calling it "a sinkhole of a casino that's so deep it needs stimulus funds to stay afloat." ...

Have been now reading George Ure's UrbanSurvival.com now for way over a year. About the only guy that is into economy that has a sense of humor I can appreciate - his personal take on headlines is one of my morning reads.

Say It Again, Tim

"Strong dollar "Very Important": Geithner." So are Easter Eggs and Unicorns. Look: the US dollar is down to 4.6¢ of purchasing power compared with where it was in 1913 when the Fed coup seized the money creation power that the Founders had wisely placed with Congress and Geithner wants it to do what now, reversing a nearly 100-year trend? Might as well be asking the tide not to come in.

"Did Apes descend from us" is the headline in The Toronto Star this morning. Doesn't seem hardly possible. For one thing, they don't speak, hold elections, run around killing one another in wars like we do. How could they possibly have evolved from us?

Just as in London it is claimed you are never more than five metres from a rat, it seems that in the United States of America you are never much more than that from a Big Mac and fries, according to weathersealed.com.

That’s not quite true. While there are more than 13,000 branches in the States, some benighted areas of its vast hinterland are not blessed with ready access to 710-calories salads or a quarter-gallon vat of Coca Cola.

Predictably, the densely populated eastern seaboard has the highest numbers of the fast-food outlets – as represented by the thick galaxy of McDonald’s lights to the right of the map - closely followed by the west coast.

But between the Mississippi and the Rocky Mountains, double cheeseburgers get harder to find.

South-east Oregon, central Nevada and Idaho are all borderline French-fry deserts – “McSparse”, as Steven von Worley, the map’s creator, puts it.

According to von Worley, the “McFarthest Spot” in America – or at least the 48 contiguous states – lies in the grasslands of South Dakota, between two tiny hamlets called Meadow and Glad Valley.

It is a terrifying 107 miles from the nearest McDonald’s as the crow flies – but worse still, a two-hour-minimum, 145-mile journey by car.

British people will be reassured to know that despite the comparatively tiny size of our islands, we still find room for an artery-busting 1,250 McDonald’s outlets.

A GOOD ONE FROM KATE THIS MORNING

A little 7 year old boy ask his Dad, What is Politics?

Dad says, 'Well son, let me try to explain it this way:
I am the head of the family , so call me The President.
Your mother is the administrator of the money, so we call her the Government.
We are here to take care of your needs, so we will call you the People.
The nanny, we will consider her the Working Class.
And your baby brother, we will call him the Future.

Now think about that and see if it makes sense.'

So the little boy! Goes off to bed thinking about what Dad has said.

Later that night, he hears his baby brother crying, so he gets up to check on him.
He finds that the baby has severely soiled his diaper.
So the little boy goes to his parents' room and finds his mother asleep.
Not wanting to wake her, he goes to the nanny's room. Finding the door locked, he peeks in the keyhole and sees his father in bed with the nanny.
He gives up and goes back to bed.

The next morning, the little boy says to his father,
'Dad, I think I understand the concept of politics now.'

The father says, 'Good, son, tell me in your own words
what you think politics is all about.'

The little boy replies,

'The President is screwing the Working Class while the Government is sound asleep.
The People are being ignored and the
Future is in deep shit.

SO SAD YET SO TRUE

Just looked at the Weather map for the nation - strange to see winter weather advisories for snow, sleet or ice in Arizona and New Mexico - yet no such advisories issued for Montana, North Dakota or Minnesota
