The stresses and strains that would result from the mining of fossil and nuclear fuels on Indian reservations in the western U. S. cannot be conveyed in environmental impact statements, according to Ronald G. Faich, director of the Navajo Research and Statistics Center at Window Rock, Arizona. There are 22 Indian tribes with valuable energy resources. In the U.S., Indian lands contain more than half the known coal reserves on public domain and 33 percent of all proven reserves west of the Mississippi. More than three-fourths of the Navajo tribe's revenues do come from its energy leasing program. Indians currently have two geothermal, 13,583 petroleum, 380 uranium, and 11 coal leases. Some tribes desire to mine, refine, and sell their own resources. Federal agencies are helping with financial, technical, and legal guidance. (MCW)
