"There are finite federal resources and agencies must be held accountable for their spending and prioritization of policies. They must ensure that tribes and territories are not limited in opportunity for natural resource development on their lands. Real property holdings are the basis for social, cultural, and religious life, and a significant economic resource. Access to development cannot be restricted by this administration's broadly and nebulously defined climate goals, or other restrictive policies. History has shown that we can balance conservation and resource development, and federal agencies should be supporting efforts of self-determination, not limiting them."
