Navajo Nation has been fighting this particular battle against every sitting US government for tye past 20 years. Is the Biden administration one of those sitting governments or not?
So why not just say “The US Government” instead of “the Biden administration” If the battle has been going on for several decades, why call out the current administration particularly? Because then you can point to this and say “see what a horrible person Biden in who personally is responsible for this happening!”
Welcome to how government works. When Trump was in office it was the Trump administration. When Obama was in office it was… you’ll never fucking guess… the Obama administration.
Because the facts are the facts. The Attny General of the Biden Administration could have conceded the case and the water rights at any point Biden wanted. Biden chose to do the same thing Trump, Obama, and Bush did. The same thing every US president has always done when the indigenous folks rouse some rabble about the promises we made to them.
The treaties aren’t some secret, they were written down and you can read them for yourself. The people signing it agreed on the words to communicate their intentions. Make your own opinion and decide whether Bidens administration fought this over the genuine intentions of the promises made in the treaty, or over the modern interests of current and future non-indigenous voters. Think for yourself, form your own opinion rather than wringing your hands over the optics of the headline.
The Federal government has been hellbent on killing off the remaining Native Americans for the entirety of its existence. They can’t do it with force, so they do it with legislation.
The moment the last Native American leaves their reservation is the moment fuckin’ Exxon or Nestle or some other cuntcorp rolls in to assrape the environment there.
