Pendley, R E; Kolstad, C D

The inter-tribal Council of Energy Resource Tribes (CERT) is bringing pressure to change the terms of energy development on Indian lands, which represent a significant share of domestic resources. The role of tribes in national energy policy is examined by reviewing tribal issues and concerns from a national, state, regional, and tribal perspective. The tribes generally view resources on their lands as a one-time endowment which should be developed slowly, while the national view is for rapid development. Policies that ignore tribal resources or tribal concerns are inappropriate compared to cooperative and joint resolution of differences involving understanding and compromise on all sides. 29 references, 6 figures.
