Trump Cabinet member hates NDNs, too

Kristi Noem’s father hated American Indians, she hates Indians, Donald Trump hates Indians, the Earth hating nominee for US Senator in Montana, Tim Sheehy hates Indians and Shad Olson hates Indians. Who else hates NDNs? Trump's Acting but unlawful Interior Secretary William Perry Pendley hates Natives, too. 

After growing up in Wyoming and getting his law degree in Laramie Pendley was Deputy Assistant Secretary for Energy and Minerals at the Department of the Interior in the Reagan Cabinet but was reassigned in 1984 after underpricing coal mining leases in the Powder River Basin. He is a vocal propagandist in the Sagebrush Rebellion that calls for the seizures of tribal lands and even penned an essay for Hillsdale College. Many catholic schools are in the Hillsdale bubble because the curriculum ignores the church’s role in the Native American Genocide.  

In 2020 Montana Governor Steve Bullock even sued to have Pendley removed. Morale at the Bureau of Land Management within the DoI cratered under the Trump Organization so Santa Fe-based Wild Earth Guardians joined other interested parties in suing the BLM to stop oil and gas encroachment on Chaco Culture National Historic Park. 

Pendley authored the Project 2025 section on the Department of the Interior and says a future conservative administration should abandon the withdrawal of lands from leasing in the Chaco buffer zone.
Project 2025 further calls for a conservative administration to work with Native American tribes to develop energy resources on reservations. The Navajo and Pueblo people live with the legacy of extraction, including the impacts of uranium mining. Sacred lands are dotted with abandoned mines and oil wells. The Native people who worked in uranium mines were not told about the dangers until it was too late. Cancer rates soared because of this legacy.

    " When the Bundys declared victory, it was hailed as a win for their vision of the American West, a place where white ranchers are heroes and yet also an oppressed minority. But their triumph went beyond Bunkerville: It was a victory for the entire far-right antigovernment militia movement and paved the way for ultra-conservative ideas to dominate the Republican Party’s agenda. All this foreshadowed a nationwide political storm — one that would divide lifelong neighbors, polarize the nation and help lay the groundwork for the Jan. 6, 2021, insurrection."
