Navajos say EPA should clean its spill rather than trying to swindle Indians

Via comment by Anonymous on Did The EPA Intentionally Poison Animas River To S...

 People kayak in the Animas River near Durango, Colo., on Aug. 6, 2015, in water colored from a mine waste spill. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency said that a cleanup team was working with heavy equipment Wednesday to secure an entrance to the Gold King Mine. Workers instead released an estimated 1 million gallons of mine waste into Cement Creek, which flows into the Animas River. (Jerry McBride/The Durango Herald via Associated Press)

*Which surprises no one at all.  Better than killing them though..............

The EPA is trying to *cheat Navajo Indians by getting them to sign away their rights to future claims from the agency’s Gold King Mine disaster, tribal officials charged Wednesday, adding more to the administration’s public relations problems over the spill that threatens critical Southwest waterways.

Environmental Protection Agency officials were going door to door asking Navajos, some of whom don’t speak English as their primary language, to sign a form that offers to pay damages incurred so far from the spill, but waiving the right to come back and ask for more if their costs escalate or if they discover bigger problems, Navajo President Russell Begaye told The Washington Times.

      Many people don't speak English as their primary language in the states.

    OT (sorta):

    A good way to mess with the Lincoln lovers & the anti-Dixiecrats would to point how the military of Northern Aggression killed American Indians and that many Plains Indians were part of the Confederacy.
