Question

state the red indian's concern for their environment in 200 words

Answer 1

When it comes to the environment and environmental regulations, who decides the "law of the land" for Native Americans living on the reservation?" Although they have traditionally seen themselves as part of the land, American Indians today face numerous environmental problems. However, as sovereign nations, Indian tribes govern themselves and have had difficulty working with the United States government on environmental policy issues. This inability to work together has resulted in Indian tribes being as much as fifty years behind current United States environmental regulation. The EPA's Indian Environmental General Assistance Program, which provides grants that enable tribes to monitor and assess environmental resources and pollution, is one attempt to update environmental protection and clean up of reservations.
