Biden is ignoring the wave of protests by Indigenous people across the U.S. who see their land being destroyed by droughts, pipelines, and mineral mines.
When tribal leader Verlon Jose looks across his ancestral lands in the shadow of the majestic Santa Rita mountains in Arizona, he sees bulldozers churning sacred ground for a copper mine that will stretch under a snaking 550-mile power line.Jose is one of nearly 40,000 members of his tribe—which stretches across southern Arizona and Northern Mexico—who may vote against President Joe Biden in the devastating wake of his 'progressive' climate policies.
Groups such as Arizona Native Vote say Native people are still waiting to be compensated for the decades spent underrepresented in politics, relegated to reservations, and exploited by oil barons and governments who viewed their land as 'terra nullius' and therefore open for environmental corruption.And they're not alone: nearly 70 percent of mineral mining projects worldwide are on or near Indigenous land and communities, including in my home country of Ghana.
