Description:
Many Native communities, like the Colorado River Indian Tribes, argue that expediting the review and approval process for renewable energy projects undermines the time needed to take tribal concerns into consideration. A recent report “Saving Fast Track: Alternative Energy Futures at Stake” by James A. Kent, a global social ecologist, and John Ryan, a regional economist, underscores that a major focus of new projects should be ensuring “tribes have some reasonable prospect of emerging with their ancestral lands and spiritual life intact, in a realigned political, social, cultural and economic environment that benefits them directly.” ©2012 Indian Country Today Media Network, LLC, 10/30/12.
