Nothing gets the environmentalists’ ire up like Native Americans wanting to live well. This money will be used to try to get those on the reservations to give up things like dishwashers and central a/c and plant little bitty gardens to eat corn out of.
Eco-weenies are okay with native Americans being permitted to kill several bald eagles a year for ceremonial purposes.
Any other group would have the ASPCA and wildlife groups up in arms for killing animals in sacrifice, let alone endangered species.
Having hedged their bets with the word “climate change”, since global cooling, nope, global warming, nope, didn’t work; these charlatans are now all about sucking dollars from taxpayers to lessen the “impact” or “climate change”. Defining neither “change” or “impact”; the only thing we can be certain of is at the end of the study, the money will be gone.
