Williston Basin, Montana.
The Cheyenne tribe has lived here for generations and is one of the oldest tribes of original inhabitants.
After the homeland was occupied, the tribes were killed and divided.
Not many Cheyennes live here anymore.
However, they still protect this land that belongs to their ancestors.
Private land is the last fig leaf for Indian dignity.
In fact, in the eyes of most tribesmen, this is more like a humiliation.
They are like a precious species kept in captivity on the land by white people for people to visit and humiliate.
They can only live in a captive 'cage' and have so-called autonomy and freedom.
The truth is that everything is moving away from them.
From time to time, young people accept the assimilation of white civilization and lose their faith in the tribe.
While this made them heartbroken and angry, they were also thinking about the future direction of the tribe.
If this continues, all the old people will die.
The new tribes will be completely integrated into white society, and everything left by their ancestors will cease to exist.
And the crimes they committed will also be buried in historical mysteries.
Just recently, the Cheyenne people encountered a new problem.
Some large companies have purchased large tracts of land around them, where they want to drill wells and extract oil.
This is simply unacceptable to the tribe.
Oil will pollute their land, erode grasslands, and kill livestock in large numbers.
What's more, the Cheyennes wouldn't let them.
"No one can disturb the souls of the ancestors in this land."
The chief of the tribe let out a deafening cry.
They want to fight for honor,
Fight for yourself.
Cheyenne people rode horses and patrolled the boundaries of their reservations day and night.
Once they find mechanical monsters and people who want to destroy them, they will attack with bows and arrows.
At night, they would secretly leave a private area.
Find the oil well being built, extract the equipment and light it with oil and fire.
In just one week, the direct and indirect losses caused by the Cheyenne people amounted to more than 200,000 yuan.
All work came to a standstill and the team withdrew from the scene, waiting for orders from headquarters.
At the same time, a letter from the Congressional Minority Administration Committee appeared in the Bureau of Indian Affairs.
"The committee requires us to immediately address the negative impacts caused by the Cheyenne people."
"They think the tribes are destroying businessmen's trust in the country and their contribution and progress in the development of industrial modernization...a piece of shit."
Slapping the letter on the table, the special assistant of the Bureau of Indian Affairs shouted angrily: "The cunning capitalists actually treat politics as a toy in their hands."
"We've seen so much squalor and ugliness since the beginning of the last century."
"This is not the first time."
The people present here are all Indians elected by the tribe, so there is no need to be scrupulous about talking.
However, their power is simply unable to compete with the country.
Yes, the letter issued by the Minority Management Committee represents the will of the country at this moment.
If they want to disobey.
No one can afford the consequences.
To put it simply, if you are in a good mood and you have a bite to eat, just eat it.
If you're in a bad mood, if I don't give you food, you'll have to go hungry.
Face projects need to be scrupulous, but they also need to look at people and separate things.
Being able to ask the minority management committee to issue a letter means that the other party is something they cannot afford to offend.
"What are we going to do, notify the Cheyennes?"
"No, let them solve it themselves. We will stay out of it and see how it ends."
If things get too ugly, maybe we can take the opportunity to create some trouble and trouble for Congress.
A tense situation for the Bureau of Indian Affairs, a relief.
They seem to enjoy privileges, but in fact they are under high pressure from all sides at all times.
I was almost out of breath.
What happened this time was just enough to make those stupid pig MPs look elsewhere.
"But they are also our brothers."
Some people objected that this was a betrayal of the tribe.
"What do you think?"
Although this is true, most people choose to make decisions that are better for their tribe.
It is up to them to decide the affairs of the Cheyenne people themselves.
Besides, the feud between tribes cannot be completely forgotten.
This also destined them to be nothing more than a piece of loose sand, ready to be slaughtered by others!
…
Half a month later, the Cheyennes received a warning from the local government.
The private land belongs to them.
Whether surveying or drilling a well, it will be outside the boundary line of the private land.
To address their concerns, the company was willing to retreat 20 miles to leave a safe enough distance.
The letter, which offered a way out and peace, was considered a huge victory by the tribal chief.
They forced the white people to compromise and submit to the will of the tribe.
As a result, patrolling and destroying the brothers became even more fanatical.
In the next few days, the temporary camp 50 miles away was also burned to ashes.
Fortunately, the team has retreated to the city and is currently resting.
There was no direct loss of life.
But the other party's move undoubtedly added fuel to the fire and caused dissatisfaction among local residents.
Conflicts between the two parties already exist.
And now there are large enterprises that can create wealth, jobs and boost the economy for the local area.
Not only have they suffered unwarranted damage and threats, this threat has even affected local security.
This is not allowed.
The petitioners spontaneously gathered in front of the city hall to protest against the authorities.
…
Those who understand will naturally understand that those petitioners are not spontaneous.
However, there is no evidence to prove this.
The Cheyennes are in trouble!
As they predicted, authorities and the Cheyennes entered into direct dialogue.
The local livestock police were asked to evacuate the property.
Roads leading to the outside world were barricaded, restricting the Cheyenne's freedom of entry and exit.
They were forcibly confined to their private plots, and no one was allowed to enter or leave without permission.
The local tabloid wanted to report it for attention.
But before I could write the press release, the company had already been bought.
Closed for rectification.
The only channel that happens is gone, what people see.
Only life has returned to safety and peace, and machines are busy in the wilderness.
The extra jobs and frequent traffic and flow of people in towns and villages...
The short-term prosperity brought by this made everyone feel hope and happiness.
The town also became lively.
As for what happened to the Cheyenne people, why are they no longer seen?
Does anyone care?
No, no one cares.
It was they who initiated the conflict and resorted to violence.
The barbaric image that was originally promoted has become more real and relevant in the public mind.
These dangerous barbarians should be locked up tightly.
