BOSTON – America’s “energy future” has trumped the most cherished sacred site of the People of the Dawn – the indigenous Wampanoags who welcomed the first European settler colonists to Turtle Island.
Interior Secretary Ken Salazar has approved the Cape Wind project, a controversial wind power factory in Nantucket Sound, despite objections from the Wampanoag nations, who consider the area sacred, and from environmentalists and federal historic preservation agencies who fear the project will devastate the Sound’s rich biodiversity, and impact dozens of significant traditional, cultural, historic and archaeological properties.
“After careful consideration of all the concerns expressed during the lengthy review and consultation process and thorough analyses of the many factors involved, I find that the public benefits weigh in favor of approving the Cape Wind project at the Horseshoe Shoal location,” Salazar said in an announcement at the State House in Boston accompanied by Massachusetts Gov. Deval Patrick, a strong supporter of the project.
“With this decision we are beginning a new direction in our nation’s energy future, ushering in America’s first offshore wind energy facility and opening a new chapter in the history of this region.” Salazar said.
His approval gives Cape Wind Associates the green light to construct a wind energy plant consisting of 130 wind turbine generators towering 440 feet above water level in a 24-square-mile area on Horseshoe Shoal in Nantucket Sound, which lies between Cape Cod, Martha’s Vineyard and Nantucket. The proposal includes plans for a 66.5-mile buried submarine transmission cable system, a centrally located electric service platform and two 115-kilovolt lines totaling 25 miles connecting to the mainland power grid.
The Mashpee Wampanoag Tribe of Cape Cod and the Wampanoag Tribe of Gay Head (Aquinnah) on Martha’s Vineyard have vigorously opposed the project. The wind energy plant would obscure their view of the rising sun in ceremony, and the Sound, which was once dry land, is where their ancestors lived and were buried. Both nations have urged the secretary to require Cape Wind to relocate the project a few miles further offshore where they would be out of sight.
Massachusetts’ Office of the State Historical Preservation Officer determined that the proposed Cape Wind site is a traditional cultural property and in early January, the National Park Service said Nantucket Sound is eligible for listing in the National Register of Historic Places as a significant traditional, cultural, historic and archaeological property. In early April, Advisory Council on Historic Preservation issued a seven-page report of its findings and recommendation to deny permits to Cape Wind Associates.
Salazar said he understood and respected the views of the tribes and the ACHP, but noted that as secretary of the Interior, he must balance broad, national public interest priorities in his decisions. “The need to preserve the environmental resources and rich cultural heritage of Nantucket Sound must be weighed in the balance with the importance of developing new renewable energy sources and strengthening our nation’s energy security while battling climate change and creating jobs,” Salazar said.
The Aquinnah Wampanoag Tribe has promised to file suit against the federal government’s decision. In a prepared statement, the tribe said: “We are disheartened and disappointed with Secretary Salazar’s decision to proceed with the Cape Wind project. The tribe has no choice but to explore all of its options for relief from this decision, including injunctive relief. Under the advice of counsel, no further comment will be made at this time.”
Earlier this week, the tribe announced it had retained Attorney Samantha Greendeer of Whyte, Hirschboeck Dudek S.C., to prepare for administrative and judicial relief if the project was approved. The tribe may assert claims under the Administrative Procedures Act, the National Historic Preservation Act, the National Environmental Policy Act, the American Indian Religious Freedom Act, the Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act, the Archaeological Resources Protection Act, the Archaeological and Historic Preservation Act and the Endangered Species Act.
Aquinnah Wampanoag Chairwoman Cheryl Andrews-Maltais said the tribe’s decision to pursue legal recourse is not only to protect its own sacred sites and rights under federal laws, but also to help protect tribal historic sites throughout Indian country.
“We view the Interior’s actions regarding the project to be the litmus test for the promises made by President Obama to tribes – to respect and honor the government-to-government relationship between the federal government and the First Nations of these lands.”
Mashpee Wampanoag Chairman Cedric Cromwell expressed the nation’s “extreme disappointment.”
“Every state and federal preservation agency has concluded that Nantucket Sound is a place of great historical and cultural significance. We have raised these concerns about Cape Wind for more than six years, but unfortunately the consultation process mandated by federal law was not followed. While we strongly support renewable energy, and appreciate that Secretary Salazar will be reopening the government-to-government consultation, no amount of mitigation will change the fact that this is a site of great historical and cultural significance for our tribe, and is inappropriate for this project.”
The tribes are partners with the Alliance to Protect Nantucket Sound, a nonprofit environmental organization comprised of dozens of state and federal elected officials, towns, businesses and organizations. Ten notices of intent to file suit have been filed by alliance partners, including two in federal district court in Washington by the alliance itself, said Audra Parker, the organization’s president and CEO.
“We will ultimately prevail,” Parker said. “This was purely a political decision. It was a slap in the face to Native American tribes, to the Cape and island communities, and to ratepayers of Massachusetts who will have to bear the extraordinary cost of this project. It’s far from over. This decision will ultimately be made in the courts based on facts, not on politics.”
Parker denounced Salazar’s claim that he was approving the project with stringent mitigation conditions, including a reduction in the number of turbines from 170 to 130.
“The mitigation proposal is absolutely meaningless. The 130 turbines have been on the books for years. The only effective mitigation is either denial or relocation of the project to a better alternative site.”
In addition to years of possible delay because of the lawsuits, the project could still be blocked by the Federal Aviation Administration, whose approval is required to locate turbines in the Sound. Local air and water authorities strongly opposed Cape Wind and say the turbines threaten the area’s heavy air and boating traffic, including commercial fishing.
Before proceeding, Cape Wind also needs to reach an agreement to sell the power in order to secure investment for the $2 billion-plus project. The company is currently negotiating with National Grid.

Windy, I understand why you are concerned, and so am I. I wonder if anyone has anyone considered simply moving the project to another location other than the sacred Nantucket Sound? That way, the windmills would be out of the way of the Wampanoag and the project could still go on as planned without offending anyone. It would not be resorting to the use of more carbon-producing fuels that harm the environment, yet it also would not be infringing on anyone's rights. Thank you for your time, moonbeam123

The Mashpee tribal council is bought and paid for by casino investors, another trick of the colonizer only one the tribal council must buy into before it can work. It's just greed, Ray, which like hatred, ignorance and dishonesty comes in every color,not just white.

To Wampintheknow, If you are ‘in the know’ how come you are using an old trick of the colonizers. That is, when a human right has been grossly violated, change the subject by demonizing or diminishing the victim using rumor and innuendo. Shame on you. The ongoing desecration of Indian sacred sites nationwide by government approved corporate ‘development’ deserves more serious attention.
42746822Wampintheknow said on Thursday, May 6 at 10:55 PM
Although the Mashpee tribal council would not comment on whether the tribe made a deal for mitigation payments you can bet they did and there is little doubt that this group of people who are now a wholly owned subsidiary of the Malaysian casino investment group will continue to act in ways that bring shame to us all.

When it became clear the Obama administration and prior administrations had not consulted with Massachusetts tribes as required by law Salazar went out and consulted and then made the decision that had already been decided from above to advance a political agenda. There is no change in the fundemental motivation of this administration not matter how they try tobprrsent themselves, power, money and personal gain before religious freedom for indians. That is what Salazar's decision said no matter how it is dressed up and no matter how many mitigation dollars are thrown at it.

Dear Eva Mae, no, it doesn't matter at all except to the PR machine of "the invaders." As they keep pressing a CO2 argument in media, I keep fighting back with facts about their greenwashing and half-truths. No, nothing compares ... my heart knows this as full truth.
42568497ruffruff said on Tuesday, May 4 at 4:51 PM
John, your words are proof that the environmentalist’s arguments have been successful. This is not an argument about wind power vs. fossil fuel power or any other kind of energy production. No one is balancing these windmills with drilling at Martha’s Vineyard. You are right that the Wampanoag were not considered when the colonists took over the land. However, this fight is neither stupid nor ignorant. This fight is about the legitimate human rights considerations of an Indian people and their right to practice their own beliefs at their own sacred places. No one would even think about locating a windmill in the middle of a cathedral or church or synagogue or mosque and against the wishes of the congregants. Why is that all right for an Indian sacred place just because windmills are nice? Now that’s a stupid argument.

Those that are fighting this don't give a rat's *** about the Wampanoag. The Native people are being used in this fight. All those white people didn't care what the Wampanoag thought when they butchered the land. Wind turbines will not stop the sun from rising or block it from shining in the East. Putting the Native concerns over this project out in front makes the fight look stupid and the rest of us Native people just as ignorant. The alternatives to energy production are much more of a rape to our mother than a wind farm. Tearing at her flesh to gouge coal out of her, pumping toxic fluids at ungodly pressures into her veins to access natural gas, creating radioactive waste that will invariably end up stored in or near Native lands and drilling oil out of her bowels and spilling it on land and sea make wind farming look innocent. The Wampanoag should have stopped the ships on the Eastern horizon when they had the chance, before the real damage began; 400 years ago.

I think it would be good if we could move past words like ‘heartbreaking’ and ‘unfortunate’ (although they are true) and think differently. When it comes to a sacred place, not just a beautiful place, the “scar” is a human rights violation that could not occur without a discriminatory set of double standards that make Indigenous peoples “less” than some other peoples. Then we have to call the United States what it is … the most powerful country in the world that still builds its strength by violating the human rights of Indigenous peoples. Reverse Robin Hood – it continues to steal from the poor to give to the rich.

It's heartbreaking and unfortunate our childrens, children will not see the world as we saw it. The rate at which the earth is being developed, is heartbreaking. Once these turbines are put in place, it will scar the beauty of the sound and the waterways, not to mention the hearts and minds of humanity.
42427887Eva Mae said on Sunday, May 2 at 9:24 AM
Oh feather flight, does it matter how much CO2 it takes to destroy a sacred place? Is it more acceptable if it is an ecologically sound exercise? Some call the destruction of an aspect of an Indigenous culture (such as the destruction of a sacred place, a language, a ceremony) ethnocide. Well ethnocide is a first step in genocide. Has anyone ever cared how much fuel the gas ovens burned? But you are right. We all have to stand up against this.
42400944feather flight said on Saturday, May 1 at 11:55 PM
How much CO2 does it take to manufacture the wind turbines then ship them to MA? How much CO2 to dredge, dig, and decimate the sacred ground and waters of the First Light Peoples? How much proposed to be offset? Maybe 1% of proposed emissions in 2014 and only from that little place in the world. If not so terribly tragic, this project would be laughable as a "Save the Earth" jump-start. We all have to stand up against the idiocracy plaguing MA. It's like a psychopath is locking us all in the room with him.

To Chucka. The Secretary of the Interior would have to earn my confidence, which he certainly cannot do if he violates the human rights of the Wampanoag by allowing a corporation to desecrate their sacred space. He, like many before him and many who will follow, has decided that its better for the future of the ‘nation’ to stomp on the human rights of an Indian nation. More expedient so to say. Something HAS gone wrong. The Secretary of the Interior has become a human rights violator. But as you say, he appears to be a man of honor and integrity. To whom?
42378479Chucka said on Saturday, May 1 at 3:05 PM
It seems to me that more confidence should be placed with the Secretary of Interior. He appears to be a man of honor and integrity, so maybe, he investigated the case thoroughly and decided that it's best for the future of this nation to accept the turbine design. But he'll own it if something goes wrong.

In one article, Salazar says this is the final decision of the United States. No it isn't. It is the final decision of Ken Salazar and his non-Indian buddies. Just because non-Indian people do not understand that a sacred place made by the Creator is just as sacred as a cathedral or a synagogue or a mosque does not mean that it is up for destruction! Shame on Ken Salazar and on the United States for this gross violation of human rights (ICCPR, Article 27 to which the U.S. is a party by its own choice.) This is a legally binding treaty.

Alternative energy is OBVIOUSLY a main priority and wind energy is an excellent movement towards our energy independence. BUT, negotiation and suggestion was made for the different geographical placement to make all sides happy, no? Of course, they [corporate] also fail to make the public aware of the negative effects. The detrimental and hazardous effects on wildlife, and even humans (inner ear, for those living close enough) because of the turbines and the sound waves put off. It's everyone's responsibility to do their research before joining the bandwagon or supporting whichever cause. Here, "man" is again using and abusing the earth, at any length possible and no matter who gets stepped on, to sustain their selfish, indulgent ways.
