The Biden administration is expected to move forward with a proposal banning fossil fuel leasing near a New Mexico historical site, even as local Native Americans voice opposition.
In addition, the board of county commissioners of San Juan County, New Mexico, passed a resolution in April stating that it"strongly opposes" the Biden administration proposal. The resolution noted the rule would make it impossible for owners of individual Indian allotments to drill for and extract minerals since pipelines must cross federal land below the surface.
Navajo Nation leaders and citizens have argued the Biden administration ignored them when moving ahead with the 20-year proposal. Armenta and Hesuse both criticized Haaland for prioritizing the requests of environmentalists over Indigenous people. Navajo leaders have also accused DOI leadership of failing to properly consult with Navajo allottees on the proposal.
"This administration talks a good talk about consulting with the tribes," Kathleen Sgamma, the president of the Western Energy Alliance, told Fox News Digital in an interview."But when the tribes pass legislation offering a compromise to the federal government, the federal government has ignored it."BIDEN ADMIN SETTLES WITH ECO GROUPS TO BLOCK MASSIVE OIL DRILLING LEASES"These are people that own these minerals and are property owners," she said.
