    We’ve seen this hundreds of times with reservation exploitation. Companies will develop some plan and shove it in a city clark’s office then start hiring and surveying. When they finally show up on site it’s the first time tribal leaders are told and they’re told it’s too late to change the plans.

    Yea, you read that right… the government regularly "Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy"s tribal authorities. Apparently, some shit heels think American Indians have gotten it too easy.

    This is why Land Back matters, the theft is ongoing. Native peoples are considered nothing more than a non binding committee to their own land. They come second to whatever is profitable for private or public interest.
