During the two days that Pepe and Austin were in the hotel, the "land claim" of the brown bear tribe began to spread vigorously throughout the United States under the influence of public opinion in the major news media in the United States.

Almost all the well-known newspapers and magazines published the crayon drawing of a child held up in his hand as he made his closing arguments in court.

In addition to the crayoon drawing, some newspapers also published a series of photographs alongside the crayon drawing: the tuhu village of the brown bear tribe; The children of the tribe were unclothed and barefoot; The weather-beaten old man of the tribe sat in front of the house, holding a carving knife and so on.

Of course, these photos were not taken by the reporters on the spot in the villages of the brown bear tribe, but were provided to the reporters after Saimen had prepared them early in the morning.

"Helena Current Affairs News" - "I want a clean and beautiful house!" ”

Montana News Daily – "Can I Wear Shoes to School?" ”

On the first day, the land claim against the state government against persecution by the Indians was only circulating in Montana.

But on the night of the trial, two of the three major U.S. television networks - CBS and NBC reported on the case on the evening news -

On March 25, the second day of the trial, the Lacorda Times, the largest Indian newspaper in the United States and the only one to reflect the activities of Native Americans throughout the country, reported on the oppression of their Indian community with a front-page headline. Meantime. The writer also called on all Indians in the United States to take action in support of their Indian brothers.

Immediately after that, in the afternoon of the same day, some of the more well-known black-only newspapers, such as "The Free Press", "The Polaris", "Insight News", "Gary-Crusader" and other black newspapers, began to publish public statements in the newspapers, reprinting the remarks and photos in the "Lakoda Times", and speaking out in support of the Indian land claim, which is also a minority.

At the same time, Chinese and Hispanic (Spanish-speaking Mexicans and Hispanics) who are also minorities have also reprinted the photos and comments in their respective audience media to speak out in support of the minority's civil rights case.

The three well-known newspapers and periodicals of Chinese descent -- the Hong Kong-run "World Journal," the Taiwanese-run "Sing Tao Daily," and the pro-mainland "Overseas Chinese Daily," are the Chinese-language newspapers with the largest circulation in the United States.

These three newspapers and periodicals have the acquiescence and promotion of the Democratic Party behind them. Not only did it reprint and report on this civil rights case of minority Indians. This case was linked to the "racial discrimination case" of the Pepe Court of Appeal not long ago, and the people on the platform began to advocate such sensitive topics as "racial equality" and "upholding the "Affirmative Action Act".

In addition, Spanish-language newspapers, which are niche newspapers in the United States, are increasing their circulation and attracting public attention. He began to follow up on the topic of "racial discrimination". A series of Hispanic plight in the United States.

That's it. A small flame began to evolve into a prairie fire that spread across the United States

These minorities in the United States have brought up the topic of "race" again in response to this civil rights case of the Indians, and they have reproduced various vivid and vivid photos. Coupled with the incendiary language, during the short two-day adjournment, the media reported on the land, and the land claim case of the disadvantaged group against the state's steaming power quickly attracted the attention of the American public.

As a result, due to the pressure of the media, the judge had to temporarily postpone the second trial of the state court, which was originally scheduled for March 26, for another two days, so that the Montana judiciary could discuss with the state government how to pronounce the verdict and calm public opinion.

After a delay of two days in the second trial of the first instance, the trial was finally held again.

After a four-day delay, the jury made a one-sided verdict based on public opinion reports in the major media -- that the Brown Bear Tribe's demands were justified.

However, the judge who made the final verdict did not give a verdict that satisfied the lawyer group of the Brown Bear Tribe. To put it more thoroughly, it doesn't satisfy these interest groups behind the Brown Bear Tribe!

Therefore, as the chief lawyer of the lawyer group representing the Brown Bear Tribe, Saimen, immediately said in court that he was not satisfied with the first-instance verdict, and he would protect the interests of his client, the Brown Bear Tribe, and continue to appeal to the higher court!

And how did the Montana judiciary pronounce the verdict after urgent discussions with the state government?

(Because the jury voted by a show of hands on the "Brown Bear Tribe's land claim," it was a reasonable finding that the judge must give a verdict on that basis under the U.S. judicial process.) ）

The judge's verdict is as follows:

First, the state must pay $20,000 in cash compensation to each of the Brown Bear tribesmen who have been abused.

Second, the claim for land repayment was justified. However, the original inherent land based on the Brown Bear Tribe is now within the scope of the Yellowstone National Nature Reserve, which has been a fact of fact for many years. As a result, the original land cannot be repaid.

In the end, the court granted the Brown Bear Tribe an independent Indian reservation, but the reservation was given on the eastern edge of Montana's Rocky Mountains region. And that area, known for its richly colored rocks and cracked and semi-arid sandy land, is known as the "bad land" in the state!

After the results of the first-instance trial, when interviewed by the media at the entrance of the courthouse, Simon explained to the reporters why he was not satisfied with the verdict and asked for another appeal.

"Everybody knows that the land that the court ordered to allow the Brown Bear Tribe to form an 'Indian Reservation' is an incomparably barren and worthless piece of land where there are no minerals and cannot be cultivated! The nearest town is at least a four-hour drive away! So" (to be continued......)
