OK. So imagine that some civilization more technologically advanced than ours discovers that there’s a rare mineral below the hills and mountains of Yosemite, which, in a sense, is tribal property. Our government has refused to sell. To get at the mineral, this other "civilization" must blast and bulldoze Yosemite down to nothing.

I think not." http://original.antiwar.com/henderson/2010/01/10/in-defense-of-avatar/ “Hudgins could argue that the analogy with the Kelo decision doesn’t make sense because this is tribal property, not individual property.
