Legally confined Tribes cannot relocate away from environmental hazards

Evidence

Legally, Native Americans have a different relationship with the land as well. They are the only group of U.S. citizens who have prescribed areas to live on, in the form of reservations, pueblos, and rancherias. Because of their historical, spiritual, and legal ties to the land, Native Americans do not have the same mobility that others facing environmental hazards might have. — Luke W. Cole and Sheila R. Foster, From the Ground Up, 613
