Partial list of some of the “sacred sites” listed for protection. Many are on private land.

Eagle Rock, a spiritual site threatened by a nickel and copper sulfide mine;
The Sacred Headwaters of northern British Colombia, threatened by coalbed methane gas developments
Teztan Biny, also in British Colombia, which may be soon turned into a mine waste dump site.

I poop on their “sacred” land. All this is is another reason to limit public access and use of “public” land.
And don't forget this little bit of news: Moonbound Ashes Offend Tribes.(New Mexico & Metro)
Yes, the entire freaking moon was declared a sacred place for the Indians.
"Reclaimed wastewater"?
How "reclaimed" is it?
Has it been treated, or are they going to spray "snow" on the hills which will make the grass grow greener than ever in the spring?
(Don't ski on yellow snow!)
Who's sins are you referring to?
Reality: Every race has been guilty, none is without sin. Just some quit sooner than others, and then not all quit.
Archoeological surveys are mandatory for any proposed drill site and access road right of way on BLM land, and have been that way for years.
I have no problem with American Indians having sacred sites, nor with them having them on Public Land, but I am seeing a pattern in a list posted above. The war on extracting our own resources continues.
American Indians would be wise to remember that what the Government has taken, it will take again if it wants to. Beware of the Great Mulatto Father: he speaks with forked teleprompter.
If it is Federal Land, access is already limited, and use of resources severely controlled or barred. Poop in your own yard, if you can’t use a toilet.
How about protecting Christian “sacred places”!
So, the “Sacred Indian Burial Grounds” schtik has run it’s course, now it is the “Sacred Places” schtik.
Like Jerusalem and the rest of the Holy Land.
I was wrong. I thought Bronco Bama was a Kenyan.
Because this evil central socialist government and the emperor are our worst enemies!
12. I voted Democrat because I believe oil companies profits of 4% on a gallon of gas are obscene, but the government taxing the same gallon of gas at 15% isnt.
11. I voted Democrat because I believe the government will do a better job of spending the money I earn than I would.
10. I voted Democrat because Freedom of Speech is fine as long as nobody is offended by it.
9. I voted Democrat because Im way too irresponsible to own a gun, and I know that my local police are all I need to protect me from murderers and thieves.
8. I voted Democrat because I believe that people who cant tell us if it will rain on Friday can tell us that the polar ice caps will melt away in ten years if I dont start driving a Prius.
7. I voted Democrat because Im not concerned about millions of babies being aborted so long as we keep all death row inmates alive.
6. I voted Democrat because I think illegal aliens have a right to free health care, education, and Social Security benefits, and we should take away the social security from those who paid into it.
5. I voted Democrat because I believe that business should not be allowed to make profits for themselves. They need to break even and give the rest away to the government for redistribution as the Democrats see fit.
4. I voted Democrat because I believe liberal judges need to rewrite the Constitution every few days to suit some fringe kooks who would never get their agendas past the voters.
3. I voted Democrat because I think that its better to pay billions to people who hate us for their oil, but not drill our own because it might upset some endangered beetle, gopher or fish.
2. I voted Democrat because while we live in the greatest, most wonderful country in the world, I was promised HOPE AND CHANGE.
And, finally, the No. 1 reason I voted Democrat:
1. I voted Democrat because my head is so firmly planted up my rectal cavity, its unlikely that Ill ever have another point of view.
All true. Especially No. 1.
my mom is an english professor at a tribal college. She was told by the administration that her course was too tough. She was using the same course work that she used as an 8th grade course she had taught before. If she wouldnt have used a curve her entire class would have failed.
This is Agenda 21
Lowered expectations do not help students. Sad.
The indian’s of course.
I mess with the liberal on this all the time.
