Court to hear case of destruction of sacred site
A federal appeals court is hear-
ing a case of major significance to
Native American tribes this week
after the U.S. Federal Highway Ad-
ministration
bulldozed
a
longstanding sacred site near
Mount Hood in 2008 to add a turn-
ing lane to a nearby highway.
Members of the Confederated
Tribes and Bands of the Yakama
Nation and the Confederated
Tribes of Grande Ronde say the
government broke numerous fed-
eral laws by bulldozing their sacred
site, including the Religious Free-
dom Restoration Act, the Free
Exercise Clause of the Constitu-
tion, and several environmental
laws. Hereditary chiefs Wilbur
Slockish and Johnny Jackson, and
elder Carol Logan, alerted the fed-
eral government to their use of the
site before construction began.
But their pleas fell on deaf ears,
and the government destroyed the
site anyway.
In response to their lawsuit, the
government says it has complete
authority to destroy sacred sites lo-
cated on federal land, and the trial
court agreed.
This week’s argument comes
shortly after the Ninth Circuit
heard oral argument in a similar
case, Apache Stronghold v. United
States.
There, the lawyer represents the
Apaches whose sacred site, Chi’chil
Bildagoteel, or Oak Flat, is on the
brink of being obliterated by a for-
eign-owned copper-mining com-
pany.
In both of these cases, the de-
struction of the indigenous sacred
site would end longstanding Native
American religious practices forever.
The lawyers in the cases are
asking the Ninth Circuit to pro-
tect the ability of Native Ameri-
cans to continue their traditional
faith practices.

For tribal treaty rights
The U.S. government is an-
nouncing a set of memoranda
from 18 federal agencies, regard-
ing tribal treaty rights.
The memoranda of understand-
ing are from the departments of
Agriculture, Defense, Commerce,
Education, Energy, Homeland Se-
curity, Housing and Urban Devel-
opment, Interior, Justice, Labor,
Transportation, Veterans Affairs,
State, and the Environmental Pro-
tection Agency, Office of Person-
nel Management, the Advisory
Council on Historic Preservation
and the Council on Environmen-
tal Quality.
The agencies are ordered to is-
sue reports on their efforts to
strengthen treaty protections within
the next 180 days.
The following is a statement
from Judith LeBlanc (Caddo), ex-
ecutive director of Native Orga-
nizers Alliance:
“The President’s announcement
comes after a journey thousands
of miles across Indian Country,
and countless prayers offered from
Native peoples across the nation,
that the federal government do
more to protect our most sacred
places. Our people have spoken
across Indian Country, saying
enough is enough. Our sacred sites
must be protected and our treaty
rights upheld.”
More than 85,000 people signed
a petition calling on the President
to direct federal agencies to uphold
the treaties and gain the consent
of tribes in infrastructure and de-
velopment projects.
“We urge each agency to craft
a memorandum that not only re-
spects treaty rights but acknowl-
edges the great harm done when
tribes and Native peoples are not
given the opportunity to consent
to projects affecting their lands,
waters, and resources,” Ms.
LeBlanc said.
“It is not enough to check a box
to ‘consult’ with tribes with projects
like dams, mines, and oil pipelines.
The treaties demand that tribes
give their consent to these projects.
This failure of agencies to gain the
free, prior, and informed consent
of tribes is a violation of treaty
rights and a flawed process that
leads to the desecration of our sa-
cred sites.
“For generations, the federal
government has failed to follow
through on its commitment to
tribes. This failure has led to the
destruction and desecration of our
sacred lands, waters, and resources.
Promises were made to our ances-
tors but never kept. We are hope-
ful that today’s announcement di-
recting federal agencies to
strengthen treaty protections is a
critical step towards upholding our
tribal treaty rights.”
Judge in Nevada rules against
tribes trying to protect land
Two Native American tribes
have failed again in their bid to
persuade a federal judge in Nevada
that a lithium mine planned near
the Oregon line is on sacred lands
where their ancestors were mas-
sacred in 1865.
U.S. District Judge Miranda Du
ruled last week that additional his-
torical accounts the tribes submit-
ted still fall short of evidence
needed to temporarily block dig-
ging.
She refused a request by the Or-
egon-based Burns Paiute Tribe and
the Reno-Sparks Indian Colony to
reconsider her earlier ruling deny-
ing their bid to block an archaeo-
logical survey.
Nevada Lithium Corporation’s
construction is scheduled to begin
next year about 230 miles northeast
of Reno.
Warm Springs Head Start is closed to children
the week of Thanksgiving. But parent-teacher
conferences will still take place.
