These numbers not only expose the ineffectiveness of diversity, equity, andinclusion efforts within engineering, but also speak to a growing crisis confronting AmericanIndian reservation communities. Tribal lands have been and will continue to be the site of large-scale public works projects of national importance (e.g., natural resource extraction), and yet thenegative impacts of such projects continue to be borne disproportionately by local populations.Numerous examples exist within living memory, from the permanent inundation of Native townsand agricultural land following the construction of several dams along the Missouri River in the1950s [9], to the bulldozing of Arikara
