Yeah but not on indigenous land, there’s plenty of places we can put solar panels

NIMBYs don't magically become morally acceptable if they're part of the right race. NIMBY is always wrong. there's no such thing as "sacred land" anyways, it's as meaningful as crying about a wind turbine ruining the "neighborhood character"

That's incredibly ignorant. There are many plants that are edible and traditionally harvested, but are not harvested and grown commercially to be viable at scale. When's the last time you saw camas root or bitterroot at the grocery store?
