BETRAYED!!!

Well, even though #DougBurgum will want to #DrillBabyDrill, #DebHaaland advocated for that as well. In the past, #Burgum had done some good stuff with regards to #NativeAmerican rights in his state of #NorthDakota. However, some #TribalLeaders are in the pockets of #BigOilAndGas and other #extractive industries -- so that needs to change on a #FirstNation by First Nation basis!

North Dakota tribal leaders see Burgum as an ally in Interior, energy role

By: Mary Steurer - November 15, 2024

"This past June, Burgum acknowledged at an event that relations between the state and tribes were at a low point when he took office in 2016. At the time, protests against the #DakotaAccessPipeline in southern #NorthDakota were ongoing, involving thousands of demonstrators who flocked to the state to camp in solidarity with the #StandingRockSioux Tribe in opposition to the pipeline.

"Burgum said one of the first things he did as governor was reach out to Dave Archambault, chair of Standing Rock at the time, and offer to come meet with tribal leaders.

"'That’s where we were starting from: with a commitment to each other to listen to each other,' Burgum said during this year’s Strengthening Government to Government conference, an annual event started under his leadership that brings together state and tribal leaders.

"U.S. Sen. Kevin Cramer, R-N.D., said he thinks Burgum’s experience working with North Dakota tribal leaders makes him a good fit for leading Interior. He characterized the current #BIA as unresponsive and bureaucratic."

#TrumpAppointments #ProtectTheBlackHills #ProtectTheSacred

What I want in a #Election2024 Presidential candidate?

1. Someone who can win against #Trump.

2. Someone who acknowledges that #ClimateChange is real, and knows that it is important to protect the #Environment.

3. Someone who will stand up for #GBLTQRights, #HumanRights, and #WomensRights.

4. Someone who respects #TribalLeaders and will listen to them.

5. Someone who will push for #Renewables.

There are other things that I haven't listed that I'd like to see. But I think these are the most important issues. Yes, I know #TheEconomy and #Inflation are important to folks -- but remember... There are no jobs on a dead planet (or one with an unstable atmosphere).

So, compared to some of the things I've heard from politicians, this is pretty good... I could maybe get behind #Whitmer2024. We'll see... Her policies on #Palestine are disappointing...

Whitmer Unveils MI Healthy Climate Plan

Gov. Whitmer Unveils MI Healthy Climate Plan to Create Good-Paying Jobs, Protect Air and Water

April 21, 2022

TRAVERSE CITY, Mich. -- "Governor #GretchenWhitmer today released the MI Healthy Climate Plan, a roadmap for Michigan to achieve economy-wide carbon neutrality by 2050 with interim 2030 goals. Governor Whitmer joined Liesl Clark, Director of the Michigan Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy (EGLE), business owners, #TribalLeaders, and students at a large #solar array in Traverse City to announce the plan. The MI Healthy Climate Plan proposes climate action that would create tens of thousands of clean-energy jobs, spur economic development and innovation, protect clean air and water, and improve public health. The MI Healthy Climate Plan builds off the leadership of tribal communities and cities and town across Michigan, in addition to the private sector.

“Michigan has been impacted by #ClimateChange, from a #PolarVortex and historic #floods to dam breaks and week-long #PowerOutages. The MI Healthy Climate Plan identifies actions we can take to address climate change head-on, lower costs for Michiganders, ensure every Michigan worker has a good-paying, sustainable job, and every family has #CleanAir, water, and a home powered by clean, reliable energy,' said Governor Whitmer."

#Triballeaders had been pressing Biden administration officials with a unified message: Don’t let #uranium #mining regain its foothold around the #GrandCanyon… uranium mining during the #ColdWar devastated the #Navajo people… the Havasupai people fear it will #poison the #aquifer… “our #home will no longer be #livable, our water will no longer be there,” Chavez said.
