Many families on Black Mesa are now in their third decade of resisting relocation, attempting to continue their traditional lifestyle. As a result of their resistance the U.S. Government is waging low-intensity warfare against the people and the land. Despite years of federal court mediation, the U.S. Government continues to deny the people the right to live on their ancestral homeland. Because of the U.S. government's genocidal policies, the elders of the resistance have requested outside support. In response to the elder's request, we have organized this yearly relief caravan hoping to help them maintain their presence on the land while they fight legal battles.
All food is bought in bulk from wholesale distributers.
We plead that you understand the intensity of the resistance - without outside support, food and supplies are extremely scarce. Financial support is desperately needed. We see this as the public's opportunity to help stem the tide of cultural genocide that has been going on in this country for the past 503 years, and to speak out in solidarity with traditional people faced with bureaucratic abuse. There are absolutely no organizational costs for the caravan, and all staff members are volunteers. This will be the 4th annual caravan.
