  1. No one goes out of their way to destroy Native American land. Dealing with NA land is a headache. I have a good amount of NA in me and if the land isn't being used for something that benefits us all? Then put it to use... The spirits don't have to worry about living do they. They'll be fine. There is a lot more dessert out there and they can move in ways we can't. I'm sorry but pointing at a place and saying "This is spiritual" or "this is historical" isn't enough for any culture to stop development. We cannot live forever in the past . How to judge what is incredibly important or what isn't is beyond me.

  2.  @CRneu  Oh I could care a rats ass about lithium in particular. I'd rather us not mine it and definitely not be addicted to it.. Let China poison their people and land while we get it on the cheap. I am just tired of... "This happened in the past so it is off limits." Mindset. I am Native American and a lover of history and nature. Just... Sometimes land isn't as valuable as people think and the future needs stuff too. Identity Politics also annoys me. "Oh this was our land". Like Native Americans were tree loving hippies that lived one with together in some grand utopia... Nah we were conquering and slaughtering men and children way before Europeans came! I know my people were! All humans - Allof us - are descended from warlike and territorial tribes. My goal is to consume less, toss less, and recycle more. Rare earths are one of the few things we can recycle. I'd like to see money and government put huge money into recycling electronics as a whole because they aren't going away. Yet we don't even know how to recycle plastic.

  3.  @MrLenard  You can't even type. Quiet. If legally it is their land then yes. If the land isn't, and owned by the government? Then they can hush. Do you go back to the old world demanding land your ancestors lived on? Nah, I didn't think so. Although that would be hilarious if you tried!
