Biden’s Efforts to Protect Native American Interests
President Biden’s administration has prioritized protecting Native American culture and sovereignty, recently designating a million acres of public lands as the “Ancestral Footprints of the Grand Canyon National Monument.”
Concerns Over Oil Drilling Bans
However, the administration’s actions to block oil drilling, including a ban near the Chaco Culture National Historical Park, have raised concerns among Native American communities who rely on oil drilling for income
Leaders of the Navajo Nation argue that oil drilling bans will negatively impact tribal members and accuse the Biden administration of failing to properly consult with them before implementing these bans.
The ban on oil leasing is estimated to cost Navajo members $194 million, affecting those who rely on oil drilling for income, which were initially awarded as compensation in the 1900s

Other tribes dependent on oil, gas, and coal production have also criticized the Biden administration’s broader policies targeting fossil fuel production
