yeah I found that. Still, imo, it's pretty gutless of McLame to attach this as a rider to defense when it's failed on the merits before.The land in question is in the Tonto National Forest.
Hello?
That is not Indian land.

Well, in my defense the OP link wasn't helpful, and I spent about 20 mins googling to finally find out the deal. And, imo, it's probably a good deal for all concerned, but still, it ain't defense appropriations.yeah I found that.

We have been telling many that both sides do this and especially the progressives who are in both parties.

From what I could see, it simply wouldn't pass. The Mine company tried several times, only to be voted down. Now there's more a compromise with the Apaches, but the mining company has a bad enviro rep.Well, in my defense the OP link wasn't helpful, and I spent about 20 mins googling to finally find out the deal.

Indeed. If it has all this bipartisan support, why sneak it in as a rider on a defense appropriations bill?

Political campaign contributions in exchange for Nat'l forest land, no doubt.This is a "land swap", but what is being swapped?
What for what?
Why would anyone vote for a bill that only benefits one state. None of their constituents are affected by it so no gains for them.Well, in my defense the OP link wasn't helpful, and I spent about 20 mins googling to finally find out the deal.

Before I go jumping to conclusions has anyone checked a map of the Tonto National Forest or the San Carlos First Nations rez?.
Oh boy, John McInsane is at it again. First of all, the NDAA shouldn't even exist. But now using it to steal more Native American land? Man, what the hell is happening to this country? McInsane should have been booted from Congress long ago. All Republicans should be embarrassed and ashamed to call him one of their own. I know i am.
House Approves Bill to Give Apache Lands to Foreign Corporation
On December 4th, the House passed the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) which included a provision to transfer 2,400 acres of Apache ancestral and ceremonial lands to a foreign mining company.
“Since time immemorial people have gone there. That’s part of our ancestral homeland. We’ve had dancers in that area forever – sunrise dancers – and coming-of-age ceremonies for our young girls that become women. They’ll seal that off. They’ll seal us off from the acorn grounds, and the medicinal plants in the area, and our prayer areas.”
~ Terry Rambler, chairman of the San Carlos Apache Tribe
Prior to the House vote, the House and Senate Armed Services Committee attached a provision to the NDAA that would transfer Apache ancestral lands located in the Tonto National Forest to Resolution Copper, a subsidiary of Rio Tinto an Australian-English mining company. Sen. John McCain (R- AZ) was instrumental in pushing to get the provision language included.
Apache leaders learned of the inclusion of the provision to the NDAA while attending, ironically, the White House Tribal Nations conference. Republican lawmakers have tried for years to secure the transfer of these lands, but have always run into strong opposition from the San Carlos Apache Tribe and Democratic lawmakers.
The NDAA now goes to the Senate for vote.
House Approves Bill to Give Apache Lands to Foreign Corporation Last Real Indians
There is no Apache ancestral lands in the Tonto National Forest it is owned and managed by the Federal Government.
The Apache reservation is next to the Tonto National Forest.
I still say turn every SOB on the list over to the Nation ... they're all in Congress and deserve having the shit tortured out of them .. besides the Apache need some entertainment.
The tactic works exceedingly well on credulous rubes like paulitician. God forbid anyone should fact check a claim made by an Indian. Only white people lie.Thanks for that. It appears they're trying the tried and true "My ancestors took a dump on it and so it belongs to me" claim.
Rosebud was trying that with the Keystone. It's what First Nations do. Hey it's always worth a shot right?
