The Native Americans across the Southwest believed the Democrats. The Democrats came in and shut down their minerals and oil/gas and created huge problems in the Navajo Reservation. Empty promises of 'solar' and 'jobs' turned into job loss. Promises of a future turned into destroying "sovereignty" over the 'climate change'. Nobody understands better than the Hopi and the Navajo about destroying the environment and it's risks, it's embedded in culture and religion, so it was probably easy to lie to them and destroy their industry.

“The answer to that, in my view, is not to revert back to that [oil and gas mining],” Ocasio-Cortez said, “but to invest and reinvest in these communities, particularly where there is harm being done.”

IOW, put them on welfare.

Occasional-Cortex is an evil woman.

Forty eight years ago, when I lived at Farmington NM, there were plans to build power plants and refineries on the Reservation which would have given the Navajos jobs, brought them non-alkalai water to drink and upped their standard of living.

Then the American Indian radical Movement(AIM) blew into town and got all that was shut down.

I think my question is, what does the EPA and especially the Biden Administration have against the Navajo and in reality, the other tribes? Do they think these people are not part of the United States?

Open the damned mines and oil fields and if Biden tries to stop it declare war on the BIA.

Take a few scalps and be done with it.

Obama was on the local radio in the SW….signs were everywhere for him in 2009. They fell for it even tho HE said he would stop oil, gas and coal! Obviously they didn’t listen to THAT statement from the Big O, who was touted as their savior.

But...but...SOVEREIGN NATION! Lmao.

Tribes lost all sovereignty when they chose to accept the white man's handouts, because white man owes them. With white man government money, there are white man strings attached, including the entire loss of tribal sovereignty. The sooner tribes make this realization and move away from white man government dependency, the better off they will be.
