This Wal-Mart Watch fact sheet examines Wal-Mart's relationship with Native Americans, both in its stores and in its development practices. From the introduction:

Over the years, Wal-Mart has built stores on sacred land and discriminated against Native American employees. As Wal-Mart continues to grow around the country, it is only a matter of time before they encroach on more Native American land. Wal-Mart latest attempt to build a supercenter on the Cherokee Reservation in western North Carolina makes us wonder, where is the next sacred piece of land Wal-Mart will build a store?"
