They have until August 31st to be out of their homes whether they can afford to move them or not. Many of the homes are not even able to be moved due to their age, as many residents have lived there for 20 years or more. Furthermore, there is currently no place to move the homes to within the Fort Berthold reservation because of the oil boom. John Reese, the non-native owner of the mobile home lot, has told residents they can apply for a job within his company and thereby apply to be placed back in their OWN HOMES!!!!! This is not the first time John Reese has forced people to relocate. He moved people out of a nearby mobile home park on the west end of New Town as well as out of the old movie theater apartments on main street. This matter is complicated due to the checkerboard nature of the reservation as a result of allotment, but so far neither the Tribal Business Council nor the City of New Town are willing to help the people who are being forcefully evicted and because most cannot possibly afford the costs associated with relocating they are facing homelessness. Mandan, Hidatsa and Arikara children are going to literally be put out of their homes in order to make way for oil workers to have a place to live. Please help spread the word about this madness in North Dakota and share this story far and wide.
