Navajo witnesses clash over government’s Chaco Canyon mining ban https://www.tucsonsentinel.com/local/report/071523_chaco_mining/navajo-witnesses-clash-over-governments-chaco-canyon-mining-ban/
A new 20-year moratorium on drilling and mining within 10 miles of Chaco Canyon tramples on tribal sovereignty and denies Navajo badly needed royalty payments, according to the Navajo Nation president - but other Navajo argue the buffer is needed to protect local communities.

Money and power corrupts which is why so many of the native groups in Alaska are pro-global warming.

So typical that Navajo Nation President Buu Nygren sides with Republicans to block #ClimateAction since he's concerned about losing "badly needed royalty payments".
