#1 Sierra Club has been invited to work with many Hopi individuals and groups

You have been uninvited, The Hopii win this one.

#2 ...resolution approved 12-0, the council said environmentalists have deprived the tribe "of markets for its coal resources" and coal revenues needed to sustain governmental services, provide jobs for tribal members and safeguard Hopi culture and tradition.

A vote for capitalism? The statists in D.C. aren't going to like this.

#3 Is this the beginning of sanity? One can only hope so.

#4 "They have acted with no regard for the tribe's right to determine how best to develop and manage its natural resources. Nor has any concern been shown for the future welfare of the tribe."

Word. Can we trade Congress for the Hopi Tribal Council?

#5 The Hopi Tribal Council does make more sense doesn't it?

#6 Perhaps Barbara Boxer can decertify their tribe. After all, they aren't paying her son the $8 Mil Vig

#7 Boxer got her language into the Omnibus Indian Advancement Act of 2000, and with the changes unbeknownst to either fellow Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D) or House sponsor Woolsey (D), the bill was signed into law by then-President Clinton.

Donks also didn't read bills when Clinton was president. Good catch Frank. One more reason to dump Madam Boxer.

#8 They have acted, the council alleges, with no regard for the tribe's right to determine how best to develop and manage its natural resources. Nor, the council said, has any concern been shown for the future welfare of the tribe.

That is because the greenie-weenie's agenda isn't about you. It is about depriving everyone and bringing everyone down to the stone age (minus the stone).

#9 It seems that the Sierra Club is brought in anytime a shakedown does not work.

Being Arizona, could also be an active deployment.

#10 Hmmm ... Hopi and Change?

Sorry, couldn't resist. But I'll try harder next time.

#11 We've met quite a few Hopi and Navajo folks on our travels to the southwest. Pretty straightforward and unassuming so I don't believe that this is a 'grandstanding' ploy that some media outlets are trying to paint is as.

The Sierra Club on the other hand.......
