That's a very interesting article. It makes perfect sense that Native American tribes would not want to bear the risk of environmental exposure without any upside potential. Oil companies typically want to keep a big chunk of the profits that result from their activities, but they want to spread around the cost of cleaning up any mess that results from those activities. That, my friends, is a tax, plain and simple.
Slitlikr, for the record, "this administration" didn't write the polices and procedures that address doing business with Native Americans (a) on a blank slate and (b) starting eight years ago. That barrel of Byzantine bullshit has been rolling down the hill for a long, long time.
