    The Weekly Sierra Citizen describes the government being unethical and overbearing to the public. The Weekly Sierra Citizen contains a large number of statements of disapproval of the governor’s actions during the San Francisco Vigilance Committee.

    However, this dilemma sparked new forms of activism among the two tribes, namely, the drive to transition to a sustainable economy that is more culturally relevant and environmentally sound. One of the most influential organizations in this process has been the Black Mesa Water Coalition, an inter-tribal organization “dedicated to preserving and protecting Mother Earth and the integrity of Indigenous People’s cultures, with the vision of building sustainable and healthy communities.” Emphasizing the fact that a fossil fuel base economy makes tribes dependent on their own “cultural destruction” by ignoring traditional Navajo and Hopi teachings of environmental stewardship, the BMWC aims to offset the economic burden of lost coal royalties and jobs by reinvesting the annual revenues from the sale of pollution credits into renewable energy on tribal lands, such as wind and solar…
