Tribes push for more power over power lines
The increasing demand for power is prompting challenges from a number of Indian nations who say the means to transmit that power is harming culturally significant tribal lands.
The Tohono O’odham Nation, the Hopi Tribe, the Pueblo of Zuni and the San Carlos Apache Tribe were dealt a legal setback by a federal judge earlier this year in their opposition to a proposed $10 billion transmission line through a pristine Arizona canyon. And Pueblos and other tribes say they are concerned about additional transmission capacity planned to boost power at the famed Los Alamos National Laboratory in New Mexico.
In both cases, tribal officials say the proposals did not adequately take cultural and archaeological significance into consideration.
