The Navajo Nation said no to a hydropower project. Trump officials want to ensure tribes can't do that again. The U.S. Energy Secretary said allowing tribes to weigh in on energy projects on their land creates "unnecessary burdens."

If the commission decides to retract tribes’ ability to veto hydropower projects, it will mark a shift in the relationship between Indigenous nations and the federal government. #NoBMPSP #ProtectNavajoWater #NoPSH grist.org/indigenous/t... via @grist.org
