(Reuters) – The Navajo Nation has withdrawn support for a Biden administration plan to stop new oil and gas drilling near a sacred site in New Mexico, saying its members should have the right to develop those resources if they choose to.<\/p>\n

The move puts the tribe at odds with New Mexico’s Pueblo nations who support the administration’s proposed protection of the Chaco region, a split that reflects the complexities of President Joe Biden’s goals to conserve public lands.<\/p>\n

In a letter to Interior Secretary Deb Haaland last week, Navajo Nation President Buu Nygren and 25th Navajo Nation Council Speaker Crystalyne Curley said a tribal committee had passed a resolution opposing the plan to halt mineral leasing within 10 miles of Chaco Culture National Historical Park for a period of 20 years.<\/p>\n

The tribe also rescinded its support for a 5-mile buffer zone that it had previously agreed to, according to the letter.<\/p>\n

“As leaders of the Navajo Nation, we support the Navajo allottees who oppose the proposed withdrawal of these public lands,” the Navajo leaders said in the letter.<\/p>\n

The Interior Department declined to comment.<\/p>\n

Biden first proposed protecting the area, a center of ancestral Pueblo culture, in November of 2021.<\/p>\n

Navajo Nation members hold some 160-acre allotments within the 339,000 acre withdrawal zone that were granted beginning in the late 19th century. <\/p>\n

The withdrawal would preclude those people from issuing new leases but would not halt development on existing leases.<\/p>\n

Allotment leases can fetch royalty rates of between 2% and 20% of production and rents of about $1,120 a year, according to an analysis by the U.S. Bureau of Land Management.<\/p>\n

The BLM analysis found that the proposed withdrawal would likely impact about 86 allotments.<\/p>\n

The Navajo Nation said the funds from leasing support the basic needs of “elderly culture bearers” who want to live on those lands forever.<\/p>\n

In a separate letter, the All Pueblo Council of Governors urged Interior to finalize its proposed protections. A spokesperson for the Council said all tribes played a role in designing the withdrawal to protect existing drilling rights.<\/p>\n

Haaland, the nation’s first Native American Cabinet secretary, is a member of the Pueblo of Laguna tribe.<\/p>\n

The Navajo Nation did not respond to requests for comment.<\/p>\n

New Mexico’s Congressional delegation introduced a bill last week that would go a step further than the Interior proposal by permanently protecting the region. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n
