PBSd SCRIPT FINAL 10/06/14
about um, what the oil boom has done to
the reservation.
01:14:27:03
MARIA HINOJOSA: What has the oil boom
done to the reservation?
01:14:31:11
PATRICIA REE BLUE STAR COFFEY: I
think it's worse than what it than what it
usually is.
01:14:39:07
MARIA HINOJOSA: What's made it worse?
01:14:40:15
PATRICIA REE BLUE STAR COFFEY: I
think it just brought a bunch of weird
people around.
01:14:44:08
MARIA HINOJOSA: Have you actually
ended up getting some benefits from the
oil, you yourself personally. Do you get a
check from...
01:14:50:08
PATRICIA REE BLUE STAR COFFEY: Yeah.
01:14:50:21
MARIA HINOJOSA: How did you end up
getting a check from the oil?
01:14:54:07
PATRICIA REE BLUE STAR COFFEY: My
grandma died.
01:14:55:09
MARIA HINOJOSA: Your grandma died?
And your grandma, your grandma had
land where there's oil?
PATRICIA REE BLUE STAR COFFEY: Yeah.

01:15:02:14
01:15:09:19
MARIA HINOJOSA: I’m gonna ask you a
tough question, ok? I’m just gonna ask
you straight up. You’ve used drugs in the
past?
PATRICIA REE BLUE STAR COFFEY:
When I was like 14.
The Futuro Media Group

MARIA HINOJOSA: So your not using
drugs now?
01:15:11:05
PATRICIA REE BLUE STAR COFFEY: No, I
haven’t drank in a year.
01:15:13:10
MARIA HINOJOSA: So when this detective
says she might suspect that maybe there
is some drug use going on in your life,
and maybe that's exposing the kids, what
do you think, what do you say to that?
01:15:16:10
PATRICIA REE BLUE STAR COFFEY: I
don't know, I could say about it... I
mean...there is nothing going on.

JUDGE DIANE JOHNSON: Without fail,
every single court session I'm in, I see
evidence of the drug problem. You see the
track marks on their arms, you see — the
swelling and the infection from the
needle usage. Even though we're in an oil
rich economy, the people I see here are
poor, they’re addicts.

JUDGE DIANE JOHNSON: This is an
extremely large reservation. It takes
hours and hours to get from one location
on the reservation to the next location.
We have one prosecutor. At a minimum
we need three.
01:17:34:09
B-ROLL OF COURT
MARIA HINOJOSA VO:
WITH OVER 4,500 CASES COMING

01:17:44:21
JUDGE SIT DOWN

JUDGE DIANE JOHNSON: I dismissed
5,000 criminal cases for failure to
prosecute. That sends a terrible message
because it makes it appear that you can
get away with anything.

POWERLESS AGAINST CRIMES
COMMITTED BY OUTSIDERS. THOSE
CASES MUST BE REFERRED TO LOCAL

PROSCUTE NON-NATIVES.
01:18:08:04
MARIA INTERVIEW WITH
GRACE
MARIA HINOJOSA: There have been times
that you've actually had to let a nonnative go even though this person may
have committed a crime?
01:18:15:02
GRACE HER MANY HORSES: Yeah, we've
had to do that.
01:18:17:06
MARIA HINOJOSA: But you know you're
releasing a criminal?

The Futuro Media Group

we have no jurisdiction then we can't do
anything.

TIM PURDON: A reservation as a
sovereign nation within a state within the
United States creates jurisdictional
hurdles. They add a layer of complexity
that doesn't exist everywhere. And if you
wanna get involved in the drug business
— you wanna take advantage of those
weak spots in the systems.

DEFENDANTS. LAST YEAR, THEY

MARIA HINOJOSA: But why is it that so
many of the Native American people told
us, we don't feel safe and protected from
these non-natives who are now on our
land who are committing crimes.
01:19:27:14
TIM PURDON: Well the answer is that
there are more of them. Right.
01:19:30:00
TIM PURDON: The increase in population
on the reservation has primarily been
non-American Indians. Seeing the
number of crimes increase with that…In
the summer of 2012, on Fort Berthold, all
of a sudden, there was heroin freely
available on the streets. And that's a very
alarming and important development for
us to recognize and gear up to combat.
This is ground zero for the largest oil play
in the lower forty-eight states right now.
01:19:54:21
TIM PURDON: It's not the beautiful,
peaceful, isolated, sparsely populated
Western North Dakota anymore. This is

it's quiet and you can just hear your
horse breathing or a calf bellowing
looking for its mama somewhere. When
the sun goes down, you can hear the
coyote howl, you know. And then there'll
be a chain reaction of coyotes. And then
all of a sudden, when that stops, then you
can hear the boo-boom, boo-boom, the oil
