| HELENA, MONTANA -- Buffalo Field Campaign will support tribal communities at the State Capitol in Helena, Montana on Tuesday, February 10. We will be joined by people from across Montana as we bring together voices on behalf of wild buffalo and wolves. A schedule of the day's events is located below. "It's time to love the buffalo, respect the wolf, honor their sacred relationship with First Nations, and change the oppressive tactics that now govern their fate," said Buffalo Field Campaign co-founder Mike Mease.  Buffalo Field Campaign is joining this event as part of our Week of Action, in an effort to help raise awareness and support for First Nations, wolves, and America's last wild buffalo, the Yellowstone herds, which are currently under attack by Montana livestock interests and signatories to the Interagency Bison Management Plan.Carol Dubay, an elder member of the Confederated Salish, Kootenai, Pend d'Orielle Tribes, said, "The State of Montana must help restore and honor the balance of Nature's trust and immediately cease and desist in the senseless slaughter of bison and wolves. I hereby invoke tribal sovereign authority and demand that the State of Montana stop violating nature's sacred trust and instead honor the spirit of the Hellgate Treaty of 1855 and the U.S. Constitution." "Big Medicine, Sacred White Bison: born, lived, died on the land of the Flathead Nation, his sacred body now in the State Capitol (Helena, Montana) must be returned to his rightful place, our Tribal homelands as a symbol of Montana's willingness and intent to maintain respectful relations with all Indians." "Our people's Treaty Rights are not being honored by capture and slaughter and artificial limitation of bison range and habitat. No wholesale trucking and slaughter of bison can be substituted for Treaty hunting rights, which include a healthy range and habitat for the original pure strain of bison to survive," Dubay continued, adding: "Bison are not cattle. Limiting or fencing the bison or isolating herds in quarantine to appease the cattle industry is not good management policy. Range for bison should be expanded to include all usual and customary lands and territories that our peoples inhabited and used in a balanced and respectful way since time immemorial." Yellowstone buffalo are America's last wild, migratory herds and the most important bison population that exists. They are the last to identify as a wildlife species and ecologically extinct throughout their native range. They've been added to the International Union for Conservation of Nature's Red List for being "threatened with near extinction," and even Montana designates the species "in greatest conservation need" with conditions "making [bison] vulnerable to global extinction." Buffalo Field Campaign and Western Watersheds Project filed a petition (Download the PDF) to list the Yellowstone bison under the Endangered Species Act in November 2014. Current bison and wolf management policies are found lacking by Jimmy St. Goddard of the Blackfeet Tribe. "Is this what the American Indian's American dream issupposed to be?" asks St. Goddard. "This American icon is sacred to Indian Nations' culture and is currently being devastated by political lies and manipulation. We ask for the support of all tribes and the American people to protect all buffalo and wolves in Montana. Indians don't kill animals for no reason at all and the killing and slaughtering of wolves by Montana and Federal agencies is totally wrong. It is time for Indians to call for a stop to this. It is time for America to stop slaughtering wild buffalo and wolves which are central to our religion, history, and culture."

MNN. Feb. 4, 2015. To scare us Prime Minister Harper says we are at war with the Islamic State!! That “a great evil has been descending over our world”. Does he mean himself? That shoot out on Parliament Hill really scared him even though it was a false flag. To “protect” himself he’s turning spy agency CSIS into a secret police force, like the Gestapo.
Harper: “No more ‘nays’ to my anti-terror bill?”
Harper, with his non-existent foresight, will decide the threats to himself and to corporate rule. INDIANS, environmentalists and anyone can be construed as terrorists. The bill protects the corporate theft of our resources. He will decide what are espionage, interference, terrorism and who appears to undermine his authority. It has nothing to do with Jihadists.
Intelligence-gathering was separated from police work 30 years ago when the RCMP routinely breached the law and civil rights. Now CSIS can do it all. Agents can break into someone’s home, seize and copy documents, install, maintain or remove any thing, like computers and monitoring devices, or do what a judge thinks is “reasonable”. Those questioning them or resisting their law breaking can be arrested and face 5 years in jail. Internet providers are installing interception systems to collect user data, give it to the government, who will take whatever information they want without warrants. The anti-terror law is a blanket law to do as they please, like the US Patriot Act. They don’t need a reason to stop you and can jail you for as long as they want in their private prisons.
CSIS secret intelligence service is being given Nazi storm trooper powers to stop and punish opposition. Canadians are being encouraged to report critics of government policy. Without being charged, their civil rights will be suspended and they will be sent to private concentration camps.
Those who discuss or think about terrorism “in general” will be criminalized. Why does the home invading CSIS [Gestapo] have no oversight?
In 1933 after the “false flag” Reichstag Fire Hitler passed the Enabling Act. Like Harper, he made his own laws, set up the Gestapo, banned trade unions and opposition parties. He declared himself the Fuhrer and eliminated democracy. He promised that his totalitarian powers would be for a short while until he carries out the necessary measures, without saying what those are. Harper is following the blueprint that Hitler left. He’s showing the world that Canada is a corporate fascist dictatorship.
Henh! Our drums speak. Will they go to jail?
Those fascist laws apply only to their corporate citizens and incorporated INDIANS, who are in their Admiralty ship. Every band council’s job is to select the INDIAN inmates for their new concentration camps. We the natural people will always remain lawful and stay in our canoe.
Harper is singing about the enabling act, like the devil in the Stone’s song:“Stuck around St. Petersburg when I saw it was time for a change. Killed the Czar and his ministers, Anastasia screamed in vain. I rode a tank in a general’s rank, when the blitzkrieg raged and the bodies stank.”
