Energy, environment battle continues
The Bush administration is pushing forward with its goals to develop as much public lands as it possibly can, putting Indian Country right in the middle of the debate.

With oil and gas development proposed in their backyard, Gwich'in Alaska Natives aren't sitting the battle out. Secretary of Interior Gale Norton traveled to the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge in Alaska to scope it out for the administration and the Gwich'in were there to make their views against drilling known.

Development might take a while, though. According to a draft document of the administration's energy plan leaked to the press this week, drilling of ANWR and other public lands are two to three to more years away.

Navajo - Hopi land dispute: Still alive?
The Supreme Court this week put an end to a 13-year-old case challenging a land use settlement between the Navajo Nation and the Hopi Tribe of Arizona.

But legal and political debates over the relocation of Navajo families who live on Hopi land are far from over. The Hopi Tribe is warning those who remain on tribal land without permission will be evicted, reigniting fears by the Navajo activists who remain on Hopi land.
