As you can see from the tweet below, not even the Navajo benefit from this. The Biden regime seems intent on making life as difficult and unpleasant as possible for everyone who lives in the United States except the newly arrived illegal migrants and hardened criminals who ought to be behind bars but are out on the street thanks to Soros DAs.
Biden's secretary of the Interior, Deb Haaland, has ordered a 20 year oil leasing ban around Chaco Canyon in New Mexico. The local Navajo tribe has advocated against this ban saying it would destroy their community, but Haaland, who is a member of a tribe over 1000 miles away, ignored their wishes.
The decision she made will no longer allow Navajo land owners within a 10 mile buffer zone to sell their own oil.
This will absolutely destroy the local Navajo tribe. Does anyone care about the families who’s future they just ruined?

“Biden Admin Closes Off More US Lands To Oil And Gas Drilling,” by John Hugh Demastri, Daily Caller News Foundation, June 2, 2023:
The moratorium — which the Department of Interior initially began considering in November 2021 — is a long-sought goal of several local politicians, conservation groups and Native American tribes that want to preserve the centuries-old Pueblo ruins located there, although some tribes have opposed the ban for limiting future economic opportunities, according to E&E News.
Interior Secretary Deb Haaland, herself New Mexican and the nation’s first Native American Cabinet member, was directly lobbied to end drilling near the park by members of the Pueblo Action Alliance, a Native American activism organization which her daughter Somah belongs to, with the group’s executive director affectionately referring to her as “Auntie Deb” in an interview after the fact.
