“In years past, groups such as Public Employees for Environmental Responsibility (PEER) and the Blue Goose Alliance have successfully argued the case for continued federal oversight of the range. And it’s only right that federal oversight should attend any use of federal funds. Those are, after all, dollars that belong to the people of the United States, and the people have a right and a responsibility to ensure they are spent in a way that reflects the will and the wishes of the people. A good management agreement will recognize the tribes’ indisputable ties to the range lands and wildlife, while incorporating an oversight structure that satisfies the public’s interest as well.”
