While I was searching for a list of broken US treaties with native Americans, this is some of what I looked at and found interesting.

Still haven't found my comprehensive list of broken treaties, but I understand hundreds of treaties have been broken by the US government, to further dispossess the native Americans whose homelands were invaded by competing European colonists of all descriptions and their respective entourages. 

Even today, native Americans are being cheated and dispossessed by the US government (referred to below and here).

Yet the brutal proto-Nazi invader of North America and exterminator of Native American peoples, in what is an ignored colossal-scale native American holocaust, committed by an assortment of covetous marauders whose insatiable greed has spawned an unnatural monstrosity that is a corporate warmonger mercantile empire, a 'nation' modelled on a trading company.

Mercantile America, the monstrous decayed money-making whore, of her shadowy, god-of-greed worshipping, faceless investor-pimps.

America, the whore, whose perverse corporate and oligarchy-controlled politicians and her performer-ambassadors, have the audacity to screw up their lying countenances in feigned 'concern' for the rights of a series of hapless citizens abroad, whose nations they aim to destroy, after yet another relentless campaign of monstrous lies and manipulation.

America the great whore of terror, that rains depleted uranium bombs on the very citizens her crass oligarchy-owned politicians and shameless ambassadors profess to seek to 'protect.' 

America, the lying, bloated mercantile whore, that's arming terrorists and assassins and knowingly unleashing civil wars,  when her agents are not otherwise promoting  bloody regional conflicts.

America, the bloated whore that greedily and mercilessly disregards her own downtrodden, exploited and politically castrated masses, piously lectures the rest of the word on 'hooman rights,' as she prepares to launch yet another unlawful military assault, in pursuit of mass dispossession and mass enslavement abroad; not for the advancement of the many, but for the profit of a mere few that she has always served.

And, so, the world stage is set for yet another theatrical performance in aid of this greedy whore's agenda, before the controlled Western press and before a series of supranational bodies that serve to legitimise the great whore's conquests, in what is a long history of greed and brutality,  and deceit and dispossession of other peoples, on behalf of  the privileged, faceless few that control the unnatural monstrosity that is the corporate warmonger American mercantile empire.

US Program to Subordinate Native American Nations & Expropriate The Land & Resources


"U.S. Indian policy has consistently followed a program to subordinate American Indian nations and expropriate their land and resources" [6]
 

Trail of Broken Treaties
Native Americans
Dispossessed of Land

source NYT & as marked:
http://www.nytimes.com/2000/06/25/weekinreview/the-nation-mending-a-trail-of-broken-treaties.html
 


Starting from the Treaty of Fort Pitt in 1776
-- The US government signed 700 treaties  [3]
-- NOTE:  700 signed treaties, to 371 ratified

Between 1778 & 1871:  US Congress ratified 371 treaties
*establishing hundreds of 'nations within a nation' (ie reservations)

at that point:  140 million acres owned by native Americans
 

as at 2000:  only 56 million acres -- barely 2% of USA controlled by native Americans

c. 1800 - native American Indians
-- controlled THREE-QUARTERS of the United States eventual land mass

Indian Removal Act of 1830
-- eliminated all Indian land rights east of the Mississippi River

1887 - Act
-- changed common tribal lands into individual allotments

1887 - Native American had 130 million acres remaining [4]


By 1932 - ie within 45 years
-- almost 90 million acres of tribal land
-- was appropriated or sold privately
-- before the act was repealed in 1932


1933 - Native Americans had only 49 million acres left, much of it waste and desert [4]

Native American tribes lost almost TWO-THIRDS of their land
by private property sales under US government policy
"designed to make farmers and capitalists out of them"

  Eisenhower era policy:  TERMINATION
-- paid native Americans to dissolve their tribal units

Result of both US government policies:  devastating impact on tribal land holdings

However, as at 2000, NYT reports:  a third of the 554 recognized tribes run some sort of gambling operation

-- with revenues of $6 billion per annum (2000 figures), enabling native Americans to buy back a tiny portion of land that was appropriated & to mount legal challenges in respect of some portions of native land

US government has broken hundreds of native American treaties

In addition, state governments have violated terms of native American treaties:

eg.  New York - Oneidas native Americans
-- 1784 - occupied 6 million acres in New York
-- obtained treaty with President Washington
-- however, next century, state officials bought & sold their land
-- in violation of treaty & failure to obtain federal approval for native land transfers
-- by 1919, tribal land merely:  32 acres
-- present-day gambling revenue buy-backs regain only 11,000 acres
-- but legal contest to regain 250,000 acres from reservation
-- result 20,000 non-native land owners paying price of New York state not abiding by law

"Oneidas spilled their blood for the American cause at the Battle of Oriskany in August 1777. One month later the Oneidas would again fight side-by-side with the colonists at the Battle of Saratoga."

"During the terrible winter of 1777-78, the Oneida People once again came to the aid of their friend. Then-General George Washington and his troops were near starvation at Valley Forge. The Oneidas carried corn hundreds of miles from their homeland in Central New York to the southeastern corner of Pennsylvania. An Oneida woman, Polly Cooper, stayed at the encampment to show the soldiers how to prepare the white Indian corn which differed from today’s hybrid yellow corn."

"In May 1778, the Oneidas again aided the colonists at a skirmish at Barren Hill (near Philadelphia), where this time the bravery of the Oneida scouts saved the Marquis de Lafayette, the French hero and commander of the American Army’s Northern Department."

"The Oneidas sacrificed much for American cause of freedom. Their villages were burned by fellow Iroquois who sided with the British and they were driven from their homelands. By the end of the war, the Oneidas had lost about one-third of their population."

John Trudell

-- American Indian Movement activist
-- d. 8 Dec. 2015

1979 in Washington D.C
-- re Leonard Peltier Defence Committee
-- convicted of murdering two FBI agents in June 1975 - Pine Ridge Reservation
-- Trudell delivered anti-government speech - steps of FBI building

-- in 12 hours, at 1:30 in morning Trudell's:
  •     -- pregnant wife Tina
  •     -- their three children
  •     -- his mother-in-law
    -- burned to death fire at home - Shoshone Paiute reservation in Nevada
    -- FBI declined to investigate
    -- later proved the cause was arson

-------/\/\/

"The message embedded, not only in Peltier's imprisonment, but in the scores of murders, hundreds of shootings and beatings, endless show trials and all the rest of the systematic terrorization marking the FBI's anti-AIM campaign on Pine Ridge, was that the Bureau could and would make it cost-prohibitive for Indians to seriously challenge the lot assigned them by policy-makers and economic planners in Washington, D.C. The internal colonization of Native America is intended to be absolute and unequivocal."

"The logic of COINTELPRO, as evidenced in this excerpt from a 1976 document concerning the basis for an "investigation" of AIM and its supporters. Note the mention of the deliberate fostering of "paranoia" among AIM leaders through the use of informers, and insistence that the right of government to suppress dissent outweighs the rights of citizens to "privacy and free expression.""

Native Americans
Still Being Dispossessed by US Govt & Capitalist Greed

Bills introduced by Senator John McCain:

(Public Law 93-531 as amended in 1996 (Partition)1999 (Settlement)
2001 (Enforcement of Resettlement)
2005 (Expansion of Resettlement)


" ... bills introduced by Senator McCain - has led to the United Nations Special Rapporteur, Hon Abdeltalif Amor's condemnation of human rights violations inside the US, over the stripping of rights and forced resettlement of these gentle and deeply spiritual band of Dineh-Navajo Indians from Arizona, swept off of lands they'd owned since 1500 A.D. so that Peabody Western Coal could mine the Coal from beneath their farmlands and tap their wells to slurry pipe it to a power station in Nevada)."

"ACSA study reveals that after assembling a team of "pro-Peabody Western Coal" Indians and obtaining a false "Hopi-Navajo" Tribal Counsel designation by the Bureau of Indian Affairs for these paid Tribal representatives, in the period 1974-1996, Senator McCain was able to get large bands of the Dineh-Navajo relocated off their lands, so that Peabody Western could mine the coal under their farms at nominal expense. Common Cause has suggested McCain was indirectly compensated by street name cash contributions to his Federal Election Fund during three Presidential runs, and through family business with Las Vegas Casinos who benefited from the coal driven power he supplied."

ARIZONA EXECUTION - Joseph Rudolph Wood

AP reporter's account of Arizona execution

By ASTRID GALVAN
— Jul. 23, 2014 11:38 PM EDT

FLORENCE, Ariz. (AP) — Joseph Rudolph Wood looked around the death chamber and glanced at the doctors as they made preparations for his execution, locating the proper veins and inserting two lines into his arms.

[...]

Officials administered the lethal drugs at 1:52 p.m. Wood's eyes closed.

About 10 minutes later, the gasping began.

Wood's jaw dropped, his chest expanded, and he let out a gasp. The gasps repeated every five to 12 seconds. They went on and on, hundreds of times. An administrator checked on him a half-dozen times. He could be heard snoring loudly when an administrator turned on a microphone to inform the gallery that Wood was still sedated, despite the audible sounds.

As the episode dragged on, Wood's lawyers frantically drew up an emergency legal appeal, asking federal and state courts to step in and stop the execution.

"He has been gasping for more than an hour," the lawyers pleaded in their filings. "He is still alive."

The Arizona Supreme Court convened an impromptu telephone hearing with a defense lawyer and attorney for the state to decide what to do.

Wood took his last breath at 3:37 p.m. Twelve minutes later, Arizona Department of Corrections Director Charles L. Ryan declared Wood dead. The state court was informed of the death while its hearing was underway.

It took one hour and 57 minutes for the execution to be completed, and Wood was gasping for more than an hour and a half of that time.

The execution quickly re-ignited the death penalty debate as critics denounced it as cruel and unusual punishment and said it raised grave questions about the two-drug combination Arizona uses for lethal injections. Wood had waged an intense, last-minute legal battle that challenged the state over key information about who supplies the drugs and how they are administered.

-----------------------------------

I don't support government execution of its citizens.

However, if you're going to have a barbaric death penalty state, how about using a bullet to the back of the head instead of watching the condemned die gasping for almost 2 hours?

I also don't see how the US can play at presenting itself as some righteous, humanitarian saviour of the world, when this is how they treat their own citizens.
