The government should be ashamed .
Talking about Uranium right now is like trying to tour Uranus
The way native Americans are and have been treated is a shameful scar on the USA
Man, this land is trashed on
How did the "checker-board" property ownership issue begin in the first place?
Was it always that way when the Reservation boundaries were first created?
Or,
Was it originally Navajo Reservation land that they lost control of/sold off?
Interestingly enough, the news story has left out this crucial piece of information.
It was appropriated like all of the lands on this continent - in defiance of law and justice.
The US does not educate its citizens that’s obvious, but the ignorance of the systematic mistreatment of Native Americans even now in 2023 is appalling.
I live here and idk
It was All stolen.
The checkers have an area of 36 acres each. To drill for water or build an access road you need 40 acres of land and it has to be one contiguous piece of land, so it cannot be joined on the corners. This was how the US Bureau of Reclamation, and US Bureau of Land Management could reclaim (seize) land for the government and they could seize twice as much land as they showed on paper. It makes all of the other nongovernment owned lands 100% worthless. The only halfway safe wells on The Navajo Nation are at chapter houses, and those are government run and regulated. USBR did that checkerboard bullshit all over the west.
remind me of Hawaii
Call china since they own all the farm land and land around bases
Hasn't Oppenheimer and Killers of the flower moon. Taught us anything?
Land is sacred.❤
All of it.
Some of it needs a little breathing space.
I’m not a Native American, but if I was I’d certainly have my reservations.
Idiot
They deserve reparations
Lets talk about these aids now since its national aids day. Or what about this Covid
I don’t understand why the govt talk so much about “illegal immigrants” if we are the “illegal immigrants “. The natives were here first. This is messed up.
