I love it when white urban climate queers are told to STFU by Indians.

Indian land, their choice what to do or not do on their sovereign lands.

“Indigenous communities have centuries of knowledge regarding environmental stewardship”.

Too bad they didn’t write it down.

The Green movement in all of its guises is not about green, saving animals, protecting (fill in the blank.). It’s about destroying America. It’s about limiting or eliminating the population. It’s about creating communist utopia. All while they still get to fly private jets, own super yachts, drink nine dollar coffee and own the latest iphone.

They are a sovereign nation and the U.S. government should not be able to override what they wish to do on THEIR land.

Hope it goes to court and the climate/greenie lefties are slammed down.

The American Southwest is experiencing its worst drought in 1,200 years,

Whom shall we blame for the heat and lack of water back in 823 AD?

[MplsSteve]

“...and peer-reviewed research in Science found human-caused climate change accounted for 47% of 2000-2018 drought severity.”

I’m not scientifically educated in matters like this but how can one really determine what percentage of climate change is human-caused?!

IMHO, it strikes me as a ridiculous assertion to make.

Two articles about Navajo's pushing back on Biden radicals preventing energy development. The link below is to the second article:

Angry Indians: Yet another instance of Native Americans having it up to here with the left: It's their land. Why shouldn't they be able to develop it as they see fit?

****The American Southwest is experiencing its worst drought in 1,200 years, ...... Navajos have been hit especially hard — Navajos use 8-10 gallons of water per day (about a tenth of the average American), and 30% of Navajos have no running water. ****

What nonsense! The Navajos were not even in the area 1200 years ago! They and the Apaches migrated from northern Canada in the late 1400s and early 1500s!

The tribes then in the 4-corners area suffered really bad droughts back in AD 1130 to 1180, long before glo-Bull warming! Caused the abandonment of Mesa Verde, Chaco Canyon and other places.

Back in 1975 the Navajos had an opportunity to use their natural resources to bring power and water to the reservation but they allowed the American Indian Movement(AIM) to get it all stopped. I was living there at that time.

Perhaps they should have stayed at the Bosque Redondo on the Pecos River where Kit Carson, under orders, moved them there in the Civil War, but n-o-O-o! They insisted on returning to the dry 4-Corners area on their own volition!
The ground water in the 4-Corners area is heavy laden with alkali, so bad even our well water at Farmington NM was undrinkable!

Now compare them with the Cherokees who were removed from the Carolinas to the Oklahoma area(Trail of Tears). It is known as “Green Country!” Lots of rivers and streams. Now lots of lakes! Yet you don’t here of them complaining as they stayed in the area and did not whine to return to the Carolinas.

I love the 4-Corners area. I lived within sight of the Shiprock, now in the Ozarks.
