US INTERIOR CHIEF WANTS SMALLER MONUMENTS, BUT NOT AT HOME
Associated Press
Blackfeet Nation
The Blackfeet People have reason to rejoice: In March 2016 the Solenex Lease was cancelled by the Secretary of the Interior. In November 2016, Devon Energy, the largest remaining energy company, voluntarily relinquished its 15 leases and in January 2017, the final two leases - Moncrief and Kluthe - were cancelled.
We thank the Secretary of Interior, the Deputy Secretary of Interior, Secretary of Agriculture, and Deputy Under Secretary for Natural Resources and Environment, for helping bring justice to the Blackfeet people by cancelling the controversial drilling leases in our sacred Badger-Two Medicine area.

Badger-Two Medicine
The Wilderness Society
The Badger-Two Medicine area of Montana’s Rocky Mountain Front is a rugged, largely roadless area of forests and grasslands that has been threatened by oil and gas development for decades.
Nestled between Glacier National Park, the Bob Marshall Wilderness Complex and the Blackfeet Indian Reservation, this 130,000-acre expanse of wildlands is too wild to drill. While the area is managed by the Lewis and Clark National Forest, it is a holy place for the Blackfeet people who have used the Badger-Two Medicine for thousands of years. It is known as a place for prayer and vision quests.
