micdotcom:Another oil spill near Native American land is going largely ignoredAt noon on Friday, tanks from a 96-car train derailed, burst into flames and spilled crude oil into the Columbia River near Mosier, Oregon. What’s more, no one noticed until Saturday. Officials told the Guardian they had detected no damage to wildlife. But the Yakama tribe — whose reservation lies north of Mosier, across the river in southern Washington — said the spill poses a direct threat to their livelihood. -- source link
