content: The Native Americans havent been handled so great, remember that time we destroyed everything they knew, then made treaties we never intended to honor.  Then we took those treaties away, killed em all again and then put them on reservations.    The American culture rejects them and they live difficult lives.   Many are extreme poverty and drink rubbing alcohol, but for the most part they have been keeping to themselves. This is obviously worth it to them.     If this is really that essential and they can do it safely; companies can put in these pipes, but the Native tribes get to dictate the fines and jail times associated with their failure to follow Native American environmental regulation.
