A Billings man is screaming to the heavens about how unfair it is that, as a non-Native man, his hunting rights are restricted on Reservations in Montana.
We could go on for ages about how this doesn't matter due to things like Tribal Sovereignty, Indian being a legal matter and not a racial one in this case and a plethora of other inalienable factors that this stubborn man cannot seem to comprehend.
It is also of note that he can get permission to hunt on Indian Land from a Native. Why isn't he doing this?
It must be in the minds of every Native American on a reservation, as well as those off: There are groups out there that are determined to erode Tribal Sovereignty and the other unique, deserved rights of Native Americans. This is yet another attempt to slowly undermine those rights. Keep an eye on Randy Roberts...he doesn't like your freedom, Indian Country.
from KULR-8:
The 9th Circuit Court of Appeals is now hearing the case of a Billings man who claims he's being denied the right to hunt, based on his race.
The case centers on a Montana law which says it's illegal to hunt big game on an Indian reservation, unless you're Native American. Billings resident Randy Roberts owns land on the Crow Reservation and is fighting that law. Mountain States Legal Foundation President Perry Pendley stopped in town Monday night to speak about the case to a group at the Knights of Columbus.
"Montana has said if someone is an Indian and is a member of a tribe they can hunt. If someone is a non Indian and not a member of a tribe they may not hunt. And we think that is a discrimination on the basis of race and violates the equal protection clause." In the past, the state has argued it's decision to deny big game hunting on reservations to non-natives is meant to comply with treaties the state made with Montana's Indian tribes.


Man Protest Tribal Sovereignty
As a non-native person myself, I for the life of me cannot figure out why this person is protesting of this denied supposed right, ...of hunting on native american land! To me, it seems this person has 'No' rights here at all.
It's time he's thrown out on his 'Tush', an given no more 'Air Time' at all...
Ask this person if he remembers how the 'White Man' came onto the once indian-land, in the beginning an did all the 'Hunting' they (The White-man) wanted to, an decimated a whole population of buffalo, almost to the point of extinction! How the white brothers of his kind, took without asking, an took an took, an took! The time for taking now, is most definitely over for the white man.
If you ask me, I'm thoroughly disgusted, an ashamed that I'm even of the 'White Race'!
You tell this low-life for me, ...to take his unbelievably audacious attitude, an gall, an get the hell off the stage! From one thoroughly ashamed 'Whitey to Another!' (I would leave my name; but for what reason-the message is all that's important here!)
Here's hoping 'Obama' really does do something for the 'Red Race', an stops all the corruption within the Indian community as well, for I now live on a reservation an in love... (With a beautiful person inside herself too), an see it happening everyday here, as well as rumored to be within the BIA also, (In League with!)
Stop the 'Internal Corruption within the Tribal Councils/Affairs' too as the unfairness to the poor here, is astounding!
Try to make 'Obama' aware of this factor within the Indian community at large; an you might truly be once thought of as the 'Proud Race' you once were! Now, corrupted by the white-mans' ways! "Money is the root of all evil, an to spend a lifetime in pursuit of it, ...is selling your soul away!"
There is no religion here either as we now know it to be (The White Mans' Christian Beliefs); ...there's only the great 'Creator' above an all his blessings, that's all we have... No more 'White Man's ways!' Jesus himself would not blame you... To break away from these doctrines, as all that matter's is 'Truth, Love an Thankfulness for having what little is given to us!'
