As many as 3,000 others continue to resist efforts to remove them. A court-ordered mediation recently concluded. The mandatory settlement gives the Dineh until Dec. 1996 to sign a 75-year lease and become tenants of the Hopi Tribe, or be evicted. It doesn't allow the land to be passed to future generations and would sentence the Dineh to poverty as they watch their culture vanish. It also provides many conditions allowing for eviction.
Public outcry is needed.
