Triple Divide Water Protectors
Donation protected
Need funds for legal fees to challenge the illegal Blackfeet Tribe and State of Montana Water Compact, also known as the Blackfeet Water Rights Settlement Act of 2016. This will benefit all water users who use water from the downstream flow of water from the Triple Divide. Into the Pacific, Artic, and Atlantic Oceans . The support we receive will go for Legal counsel and court fees and related costs. If successful, this will return all water rights back to the Blackfeet Nation and restore the Winter Doctrine of 1908 giving the Blackfeet Nation paramount rights to the water as described in the Winters Doctrine. We have the proof that the compact is illegal but all Tribal, Federal, and State agencies will not allow us our day in court, This water runs through many states and benefits all people downstream. The present compact takes more than just the water from the Blackfeet Nation, it also voids all claims we have against the state which can be in the Billions of Dollars. This act is a ploy to undermine the Blackfeet Nation and stop all legitimate claims the tribe has against the Feds and the State. Your donation will help us keep the water flowing as it is without chemicals or state regulations which are allowing mining companies to dump their poison into our water. Already the mining companies are destroying many streams and rivers with their sludge, This sludge will go downstream and cause many downstream water users in many states to consume contaminated water, which in turn will cause many illness and disease for those downstream. You help will benefit not only us but millions of water users and future generations. If you care about the water you drink, then help us keep the water you drink pure,
