Major tech companies are trampling Native treaty rights and sacred lands to build data centers without meaningful tribal consent. Companies are using legal loopholes to avoid consultation.
Major tech companies are using legal loopholes to build data centers on or near Native lands without meaningful tribal consultation or consent, despite treaty obligations that require it. The companies are deliberately exploiting gaps in how treaty rights are enforced in the land-use permitting process.
This is systematized avoidance of legal obligations. The tech companies aren't arguing they have the right to build; they're just not giving tribes the chance to stop them through consultation. The data centers require massive power and water resources — infrastructure that directly impacts reservation economies and environments. The companies are treating treaty rights as optional compliance issues rather than actual rights.
