The article reports that the Tribal Council of the Turtle Mountain Band of Chippewa banned hydraulic fracturing on their reservation in Rolette County, North Dakota. The group No Fracking Way Turtle Mountain Tribe believes the risk of contaminating reservation water resources is not worth the money and jobs an oil boom could bring to the community. The U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA) supports the claim that fracking strengthens economies.
