The Blackfoot are breathing a sigh of relief as the federal government canceled oil and gas exploration on sacred land bordering their reservation in Montana. Nationwide protests are pressuring Washington to do the same with the Dakota Access Pipeline.
The Interior Department announced Wednesday that it had reached a settlement with Devon Energy to cancel the lease to drill for oil and gas on land held sacred by the Niitsitapi (“Blackfoot”) Tribe. The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) has canceled Devon’s leases in the Badger-Two Medicine area of the Lewis and Clark National Forest in northwestern Montana.
“This is the right action to take on behalf of current and future generations,” Interior Secretary Sally Jewell said in a statement. The settlement would protect the area’s “rich cultural and natural resources and recognizes the irreparable impacts that oil and gas development would have on them.”
