Indian Tribes See Profit in Harnessing the Wind for Power

The New York Times reports that Native American tribes like the Rosebud Sioux in South Dakota are seeking to claim the wind as their inheritance by 'building turbine farms to harness some of the country’s strongest and most reliable winds' - creating in the process 'a new economic underpinning for the 29,000 tribal members whose per capita annual income is about $7,700, less than a third the national average'.
