PART 3 of 4: The second "Marijuana Plant" bust to take place on Kiowa Tribal Lands within a two week period in nearby Kiowa County, OK. This operation took place on the "Satepeahtaw" property in the late afternoon of "Sunday, August 22, 2010" approximately 21/2 miles WNW of Carnegie, OK which is located in just across the countyline into Kiowa County. I was informed of this operation by my brother who monitors police transmissions on a Bearcat scanner. Due to the Movie Maker Program being inoperative I am forced to post "raw" footage. This will be a "four part" series showing what occurred on Sunday, August 22, 2010 west of Carnegie, OK just across the county-line into Kiowa County, OK. According to a Bureau of Indian Affairs officer who I met near the site of the operation this recent marijuana crop site was on or near the same site as a previous marijuana crop bust that occurred in 2009. Obviously, Mexican Cartel marijuana growers have no compunction regarding where they grow their marijuana crops and will even re-plant their illegal crops on Indian lands. It wasn't learned if any Mexican grower suspects were arrested in this lastest marijuana plant bust on Indian Trust Property in SW Oklahoma. Personally, I am concerned because these illegal activities which show a distinct disregard for Kiowa property and ironically are very close to local Kiowa historic, cultural, and sacred sites. Over the decades the historic Kiowa have had an extremely difficult undertaking to protect and preserve historic and cultural sites associated with their cultural identity. Due to the extensive migratory history of the Kiowa these historic and cultural sties are located all throughout the Great Plains region and into Canada. This latest illegal marijuana crop site is very close to the Kiowa Ghost Dance site of the 1890s and early 1900s. In the summer of 1890 the commanding officer with the Indian agent and troops out of Fort Sill ordered the Kiowa to stop the construction of their Kiowa Sundance Lodge. As a result of this action the Kiowa's religion was effectly suppressed. The Kiowa eventually were forced to adopt other forms of religion. Some Kiowa converted to Christianity while others took up what became known as the "Native American Church". Still, others became staunch believers in the "Kiowa Ghost Dance". The Kiowa Ghost Dance movement was led by a Kiowa named "Sit-Ah-Pa-Tah" (Afraid of the Bear) but the movement died out when Sit-Ah-Pa-Tah passed away in 1918. Not only foreigners but Americans as well need to respect the sacred sites of its first Americans

Aug 25, 2010 - @smileymann2 I understand the choise that you would make on the issue if your land. However, for me I would not only say "no" but "hell no". Remember Geo. Carlin's picnic routine? "Hey, can you move over, they're bringing the stuff." "Can you move over a little more, they're bringing the stuff".--It's encroachment of what little land we still have left. Now it seems people feel we should be liberal and allow another form of encroachment.---Entrenched sociological ethos are difficult to change.

Aug 26, 2010 - @smileymann2 Very good point BUT it all goes back to the question of "tribal sovereignty" which is defined in the numerous treaties that the US made with the tribes. The "powers that be" in US congress aren't stupid and they know what it means to recognized tribal sovereignty. It is not unlike "diplomatic immunity" where a person carries their sovereignty around with them whereever they go. The powers that be know that they cannot have this situation internally within this country.

Jan 16, 2011 - It is not if I care for sacred lands. The objective of these videos is to get the non-native to care for sacred lands. These are still traditional lands of our ancestors. Our rights to traditional sites and properties are not extingushed by the laws of the white man because they are incorporeal and of the spirit. I have no respect for anyone who violates the spiritual integrity of the ancient and sacred places of native people.

Aug 24, 2010 - @smileymann2 Unfortunately, in this society there are sociological ethos called "attitudes". At sacred sites there are images called "pictographs". These sacred images are marred by modern "graffiti". When a person sees this he/she is compelled to do the same thing. It is called "graffiti begating graffiti"........If illegal activities such as shown in the vids is allowed to continue attitudes become more sociologically indifferent and disrespectful to traditional native values. UNACCEPTABLE.
