The U.S. Department of Interior reversed a Trump Administration decision that removed the Mandan, Hidatsa and Arikara Tribe’s control over Missouri River mineral rights. The recent action returns tribal control that had been in place for decades. Dozens of other decisions that affected tribes during the Trump years are awaiting scrutiny, including the reduction of Bears Ears National Monument, rolling back key provisions in the National Environmental Policy Act, and worked to disestablish the Mashpee Wampanoag Tribe’s reservation lands. We’ll look at some of the policies from the Trump Administration that tribes are working to reverse, and those they want to continue.
Guests:
Clark Tenakhongva (Hopi) – vice chairman of the Hopi Tribe
Chairman Mark Fox (Mandan/Hidatsa/Arikara) – MHA Nation tribal chairman
Dr. Kyle Whyte (Citizen Potawatomi Nation) – Professor of Environment and Sustainability and the George Willis Pack Professor in the School for Environment and Sustainability at the University of Michigan
