This Bipartisan Energy Deal Could Clear the Way for Trump’s Arch

 Other staunch opponents of the bill, such as the Cultural Landscape Foundation (TCLF), which is a plaintiff and co-plaintiff on ongoing D.C. construction project lawsuits, argue that the effects will be felt on tribal lands by severing “cultural lifeways” of Native people across the country. “This is really a kind of worst-case scenario for tribal lands and tribal preservation,” said Charles Birnbaum, Founding President and CEO of TCLF. “This country has been known for its erasure of stories, whether it’s tribal lands, or African American communities that were redlined. I don’t really see how we as a culture could allow [the government] to purposely destroy [this] heritage.”
