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.
Last year, I attended a week long workshop about tribal relations. It was also led by people from different tribal groups. This was a big takeaway, that people in my position often "consult" with native folks by telling them what decision has been made, instead of having them a seat at the decision making table. Essentially, no consultation and definitely no sharing on decision.
Can they not just go around the reservation?
But that would cut into profits
This is why Land Back matters, the theft is ongoing. Native peoples are considered nothing more than a non binding advisory committee to their own land. They come second to whatever is profitable for private or public interest.
