Native American Tribe Calls Joe Biden’s Drilling Freeze a ‘Direct Attack’ on Sovereignty

A Native American tribe this week criticized the Biden administration’s order halting agency approvals for oil, gas, and coal permitting on federal lands including tribal lands.

As the Washington Times reported Friday:

The Ute Indian Tribe of the Uintah and Ouray Reservation, which has run an oil-and-gas operation on its 4.5 million-acre reservation for more than 70 years, requested Thursday an exemption for tribal lands from the Interior Department order that halts agencies from issuing permits and leases on mineral production for 60 days.

In a letter Thursday, chairman of the Ute Indian Tribe Business Committee Luke Duncan wrote, “The Ute Indian Tribe and other energy producing tribes rely on energy development to fund our governments and provide services to our members.”

...

Duncan called the order “a direct attack on our economy, sovereignty, and our right to self-determination,” adding, “Indian lands are not federal public lands. Any action on our lands and interests can only be taken after effective tribal consultation.”

Your sovereign nation voted to remove the orange man despite being super sovereigny. Enjoy the second democrat trail of tears

It’s okay, Pete Buttigieg is from Indiana.

I’m sure the people who are offended by Indian names being used for sports teams couldn’t care less if actual Indians’ livelihood is taking a hit from the Biden regime.

So ignore Biden

Play the leftist game. Go on the media to shout “racism.” Block roads and Build bonfires. Send Federal agents packing.

Well, Tonto, you better get your "Campaign Contribution" to Hunter pronto, or your Casino is next.

Many of the Native American reservations have been subject to disaster via the WuFlu outbreak. Not by just illness alone, but severe economic devastation. Our own Navajo and other tribes are subject to similar misery.

To condemn them to further economic hell is an act of inhumanity I cannot put in words (without getting banned.)

They’re in northern Utah. Maybe they voted for Romney too.

[caseinpoint]

They want a special exemption from the general rule. This is the liberal mantra: good rules but give me an exemption.

[Chgogal]

Now that is a plan if you are NOT white or a Republican.

Chlamydia ‘fweedumb’ hawiss. So, you want the drilling/pipeline or you don’t want the drilling/pipeline. Smoke signals getting confusing.

[Army Air Corps]

If the Utes want Biden to care, they need to make checks payable to The Big Guy, care of Hunter. See if they can beat ChiCom cash.

[reintarnation]

Duchesne County, the center of the tribal lands, voted 11 to 1 for Trump.

[cdcdawg]

They will probably get a special waiver.

LOL!
