Too many Native Americans still have no running water at all. So now, with the agreements the BLM has made with mining companies, what they do get will kill them. The Bureau of Land Management is supposed to administer and protect Native lands. Instead, they continue to sell the people out. For the privilege of nasty water, they probably get a few pennies that go into some "trust fund".
