Schocken Books, Inc., 1993. Site of the Sundance at Big Mountain, after being bulldozed and totally destroyed by the Hopi Tribal Council Police, Friday, August 18, 2001. The tread like a tank, the broken tree, the crushed home. The butterflies have fled, as they flee every ghetto. But where life sings they will be, and the mountain lives.
Some people say, 'the poor U'wa.
This link will take you to the Activist page, where you can read about the expulsion of people from their ancestral homes that has been taking place in the United States, under the auspices of the U.S. government. To the Dine' and Hopi both, Black Mesa is sacred. In this 5,400 square-mile region, they had been living side by side for several hundred years and basically at peace until it was discovered in the 1950s that the Dine' were living on the largest coal deposit in the United States. Sen. McCain, who was a presidential candidate in 2000, has not commented on his role and responsibility in this tragedy, which could be halted by executive order. Write to President George Bush, and ask him what he would do to halt this tragedy.
