NICE! there really is so much room to expand in the green market and unlike historical markets, their poor placement (reservations) shouldn't significantly exclude them from the surrounding economies.

From the article: "The legislation is historic: Reportedly the first green jobs bill among the First Nations, the Navajo Nation Green Economy Commission will create the infrastructure to qualify for federal money already earmarked for green job development, and focus on small-scale, community developments for a more sustainable and green economy."
