Native Americans on an oil-rich reservation have been cheated out of more than $1 billion by schemes
Good day to the citizens of this world,
Native Americans on an oil-rich North Dakota reservation have been cheated out of more than $1 billion by schemes to buy drilling rights for lowball prices, a flurry of recent lawsuits assert. And, the suits claim, the federal government facilitated the alleged swindle by failing in its legal obligation to ensure the tribes got a fair deal.
This is a story as old as America itself, given a new twist by fracking and the boom that technology has sparked in North Dakota oil country. Since the late 1800s, the U.S. government has appropriated much of the original tribal lands associated with the Fort Berthold reservation in North Dakota for railroads and white homesteaders. A devastating blow was delivered when the Army Corps of Engineers dammed the Missouri River in 1953, flooding more than 150,000 acres at the heart of the remaining reservation. Members of the Three Affiliated Tribes — the Mandan, Hidatsa and Arikara — were forced out of the fertile valley and up into the arid and barren surrounding hills, where they live now
But that last-resort land turns out to hold a wealth of oil, because it sits on the Bakken Shale, widely believed to be one of the world's largest deposits of crude. Until recently, that oil was difficult to extract, but hydraulic fracturing, combined with the ability to drill a well sideways underground, can tap it. The result, according to several senior tribal members and lawsuits filed last November and early this year in federal and state courts, has been a land grab involving everyone from tribal leaders accused of enriching themselves at the expense of their people, to oil speculators, to a New York hedge fund, to the federal government's Bureau of Indian Affairs.
The rush to get access to oil on tribal lands is part of the oil industry's larger push to secure drilling rights across the United States. Recent estimates show that the U.S. contains vast quantities of oil and gas. As fracking has opened new fields to drilling, and the U.S. has striven to get more of its energy from within its borders, leases from Louisiana to Pennsylvania have been gobbled up. Now the pressure is increasing on one of the last sizeable holdouts — lands owned by Native Americans.
A review of tribal and federal records as well as lawsuit documents reveals a dizzying array of lowball, non-competitive deals brokered by numerous companies, often entwined with the tribal council and with individual landholders on the reservation. But at heart the alleged practices are simple: Tribal leaders and outsiders set up companies to buy drilling rights cheap and flip them later for spectacular profits — in one case earning as much as a 200-fold return in just four years.
Hundreds of millions of dollars were lost, said Tex Hall, the current chairman of the Three Affiliated Tribes, in an interview. It's just a huge loss and we'll never get it back.
At the center of that particular alleged scheme, according to one of the suits, was Spencer Wilkinson, Jr., longtime manager of 4 Bears Casino, a time-worn warehouse of slot machines, swirling cigarette smoke and stained carpets that serves as the reservation's entertainment nexus and its financial hub. Wilkinson also sat on the board of the tribe's development corporation, where he was charged with finding new opportunities to enhance the economy of the reservation.
According to interviews with tribal members, former employees of the Three Affiliated Tribes, and a class action lawsuit filed in federal district court in Bismarck, ND against Wilkinson and others, Wilkinson used his access to casino funds — and to the development corporation — to gain influence and craft an oil deal that would leave him one of the richest men on the reservation.
In 2006 he became an owner of a company, Dakota-3, with Richard Woodward, a white consultant who, records show, was receiving more than $20,000 a month from tribal funds for his work at the development corporation. Together, the suit and other legal filings allege, Wilkinson and Woodward planned to raise money and buy up rights to much of the remaining land not yet slated for drilling, all the while maintaining their work with the tribes and employing Wilkinson's relationship with the council to help get the oil leases approved.
Leases for oil rights generally work like this: A company purchases the right to drill for oil underneath an acre of land by paying a one-time upfront payment, called a bonus, and a percentage of the profits earned on the well, known as a royalty. On Indian lands additional laws also apply, dictating who can negotiate for whom and how the government has to oversee the agreements.

Damon Williams, TAT Tribal Chairman candidate - 10-23-2014
The TAT Tribal Chairman candidates, Damon Williams and Mark Fox, were each asked if they supported - or opposed - the current TAT Tribal Council's resolution and intent to determine whether the tribal council can control - or limit - the water rights of individual tribal landowners on Ft Berthold. They're requesting a BIA Solicitor's opinion. Yet, the TAT tribal council has never quantified the Tribe's water rights in the Missouri River. Instead, the current TAT tribal administration wants to control the ground water, springs, surface water, owned by individual tribal members of Fort Berthold. Meanwhile, the TAT tribal council is selling fresh or treated water to the oil companies for fracking an estimated 1,000 well sites on Ft Berthold. Another 2,000 - 3,000 water-intensive fracked wells can be expected on Fort Berthold trust lands according to the local feds/BIA. Damon is a licensed tribal attorney for the Three Affiliated Tribes and also has an environmental law degree. Mark Fox is the tribal tax commissioner and also the director of the tribal council's Section 17 Water Development Corporation. Here is Damon's response at the TAT tribal chairman candidate's debate in New Town ND on October 23, 2014. The tribal election is November 4, 2014.

ABOUT THIS FEED:
The town of La Grange, Kentucky, in North Central Kentucky, is located on the CSX LCL Subdivision, at milepost 26.8. The LCL Sub is the former Louisville & Nashville Railroad (L&N) Short Line, originally the Louisville, Cincinnati & Lexington Railroad.
On the (default) north camera can be seen the signal at the south end of La Grange siding, at milepost 27.0, and the siding is 8,330 feet in length (the north end of the siding is at milepost 28.8).
In regards to that signal and approaching northbound trains, if the train is lined into the siding the signal with have a red-over-lunar (white) aspect, and if it's lined through on the main track the signal with display either a green-over-red or yellow (amber)-over-red aspect.
The town gets ~14 CSX freight trains daily. It’s a designated quiet zone, but the crew can use the horns at their discretion. The speed limit for trains as they enter the street-running portion is 10 miles per hour (MPH), until the engines have cleared said street-running, at which point they are allowed to increase their speed to 20 MPH.
There is no Amtrak service here. The last regularly scheduled passenger train on this line was the L&N's Pan-American in 1971.
There is an ATCS layout available, but there is no server (data) coverage available, as CSX has transitioned away from radio code line (RCL) for switch-and-signal control, to satellite for switch-and-signal, with cellular/telephony backups. RCL is essential for ATCS data availability.
When’s the next train? Yeah, we get this a lot. There’s no schedule for freight, but some of our more knowledgeable members will provide real-time information when it’s available. Please refrain from asking.

CULTURAS PRECOLOMBINAS 6: Los Nativos de Norteamérica - Inuits, Sioux, Anasazi, Cahokia
EPISODIO 63 de PERO ESO ES OTRA HISTORIA (web serie documental)
***COLABORA EN PATREON***
En este vídeo he querido hacer un repaso bastante rápido por las principales culturas o tribus de Norteamérica, desde la prehistoria hasta la llegada de los colonizadores a partir de 1500. En el Ártico triunfaron culturas como la Dorset, la Thule o la Saqqaq, que darían origen a los Inuits y Yupik.
Los Algonquinos se expandieron del este de Canadá por toda la costa este de los Estados Unidos, y dieron lugar a tribus como los Cree, los Mohicanos, los Cheyenne o los Pies Negros, quienes vivían en las típicas chozas llamadas Wigwams. Junto a ellos vivían los Iroqueses, como los Mohawk y los Cherokee.
Por otro lado, en la zona del río Mississippi se instalaron culturas como la Adena, la Hopewell y la Cultura Mississippi, cuya gran ciudad fue Cahokia. Por las llanuras del centro de norteamérica vivían los Sioux, los Crow, los Cheyenne, los Shoshones, los Comanche y muchos otros.
Finalmente, en las zonas más desérticas aparecieron culturas como la Clovis, la Mogollón y la Cultura Anasazi, que acabaron evolucionando en los Pueblo (Hopi y Zuñi) y guardan bastantes misterios, como sus curiosos petroglifos y su repentina desaparición.

Impeachment trial of President Trump | Jan. 29, 2020 (FULL LIVE STREAM)
House impeachment managers and President Trump’s lawyers have concluded their opening arguments in the Senate. The impeachment trial moves into the question period for both sides on Jan. 29, when senators submit questions in writing to Chief Justice John G. Roberts Jr. The chief justice will read questions out loud, alternating between the majority and minority for up to eight hours.
Trump was impeached by the House of Representatives in December for abuse of power and obstruction of Congress. Impeachment does not mean that the president has been removed from office. In the next phase, the Senate must hold a trial to make that determination. A Senate impeachment trial has happened only two other times in American history and once in the modern era. At the center of the Democrats’ case is that Trump sought to withhold military assistance and an Oval Office meeting until Ukraine announced investigations into former vice president Joe Biden and his son.
Watch the debate on Jan. 21 on the rules of the trial:
