The four affiliated tribes has put a stop to the burning off the natural gas on reservation ground. MCKenzie county nd
They want the money
Interesting.
Tribes get a cut from the oil extraction on reservations. They get quite rich. They are always going on about the ‘sacred land’, the ‘spirit’ of this or that, but they know that todays extraction uses technology that does zero harm to the environment.
But they like money.
The natural gas comes up with the oil, it is mixed in with the oil. So the gas has to go somewhere.
I think the tribes are shooting themselves in the foot. There’s plenty of oil in that region of ND that is not on tribal land.
Keep me posted pls.
