The majority of this article is about a specific Native American group's opposition to the gene edited American chestnut that is in the process of being approved for planting. It's an interesting article, but I just don't get the cognitive dissonance from the Native tribe; they say that they oppose the new chestnut because it runs counter to their belief that things should not be reverted because it takes away their philosophy of accepting the current situation and learning from it. But they demand rights that they lost in a similar way, which seems to be at odds with their stated belief.
