Honestly, when has the US Govt ever cared about the objections of native Americans? IMO, that is either a cop out or cover for the real reason(s) the permits were pulled.

Federal government? No, not so much. But apparently the local courts did.

The only court that can review anything to do with the Army Corps is federal court. Your referenced "lower court" is a federal court.

My mistake. Thanks for the correction.
