> San Carlos Apache Tribe and the Tohono O’odham Nation in particular have protested the line's route in Arizona

Can’t tell if the tribes [1] want an amended path, to kill the project, to be paid off or are NIMBYing [1].

The US Govt has hardly honored any of their Native American agreements. I find it acceptable to extract money from a belligerent government in any way possible.


We should really stop pretending that the Native American reservations are 'sovereign states', and just label them semi-autonomous zones or something.


Didn't the 1871 Indian Appropriation Act essentially do that?
