When the 🔸Trail of Broken Treaties arrived in Washington and took over the BIA headquarters,
the documents discovered in the BIA file cabinets altered the course of history.
In the caravans from the west coast and northwest were activists from local Indigenous frontline struggles, from Pit River, Survival American Indian, and Alcatraz.
The BIA documents exposed the secret plan of Oglala Chairman Dick Wilson to turn over one-eighth of tribal land over to the federal government for #uranium mining.
In the ton of documents taken away in a U-Haul,
the documents showed proof of the #sterilization of Native women by Indian Health Service doctors.
And there was more.
Hidden in these BIA files were the facts about the #Winters #Doctrine,
and the fact that Native American Tribes are entitled to as much water as they need.
It is a fact that the BIA wanted hidden.
Today, the states and federal government are attempting to do away with the #water #rights guaranteed in the Winters Doctrine with complex schemes and water rights settlements.
