A Republican-led U.S. House committee announced just days after the Chaco decision that it would investigate the secretary’s ties to an Indigenous environmental group (Pueblo Action Alliance/Greater Chaco Coalition) that has protested fossil fuels. One of the leaders of the group is Haaland's radical daughter Somah, and they apparently corresponded back and forth about the decision before it was announced by Haaland.

HA! Good for the Navajos!

Must really burn Haaland to be rejected by ‘Native Americans’ when her whole political career has been based on being a (half) ‘Native’ rather than any inherent knowledge, skills, abilities or charisma.

Maybe Indians should stop voting democrat. (My husband is an Indian, and agrees with me).

I am glad this article acknowledges that many Native Americans want fossil fuel development and it is pure ideology to pretend that there is only one Native opinion on the matter.

I am very connected with Navajos. They were never consulted, not at all. It is their land, not FedGov jurisdiction, being restricted, several hundred square miles. The Navajo Nation Council (legislative) was never ever consulted. Nor was the office of the NN President consulted. The allottees have not just oil and gas rights, but also grazing rights, and now cannot even drill for water on their own land. It is, pure and simple, expropriation.

Haaland is a screwball. Another one of FJB’s finest freakshows.

There are NO native Americans. In fact, the Homo Sapien is only native to one place on the planet, and America ain't it. We're all of us immigrants, some of us just got here earlier than others is all.
