From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: Mon, 21 Jun 1999 02:17:07 EDT Subject: Big Mountain Concerns and Update To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] <snip> MARSHA MONESTERSKY GETS NOTICE OF PROPOSED ORDER OF EXCLUSION I wanted to let you know that I just received a Notice of Proposed Order of Exclusion from the Hopi Tribe on Friday, June 18, 1999. This is the same Order of Exclusion that was given to Kee Shay. When I saw him yesterday, Saturday, June 19, he said, "We are in this together." I believe that this Order was served to me in an effort to weaken the Dineh resisters response to the actions being perpetuated against them, including the response recently submitted by Kee Shay. Leonard Benally from Big Mountain agrees. He says, "Kee Shay is handicapped, hard of hearing and an elder traditional. He is supposed to be respected and doesn't know anything of the laws that violate him. He did not even spend 1 day in school. He was on this land long ago, long before our land was called HPL. We have been living here for centuries. The Hopi tribe and the BIA just treats us like we are from somewhere else. The Hopi tribe and the BIA are just preying on people. They are predators picking off my people one by one. We have a right to live here. We all drink one water, breath one air and have one land here. We are all one." When I told Leonard that I just received a Notice of Proposed Order of Exclusion, he said, "We need your help, since the Hopi and Navajo tribes and the US government does not care about us. I guess this means that you are one of us, illegal like we are. We will all probably get these Exclusion Orders so we are all in this together." This is the same sentiment expressed by May Shay, Kee Shay's wife who said upon hearing about my Notice of Proposed Order of Exclusion said, "We'll just do a tug-of-war with the Hopi police for you. Who else is going to help us? We want you here with us." HOW YOU CAN HELP Please contact: Wayne Taylor, Chairman, The Hopi Tribe, P.O. Box 123, Kykotsmovi, AZ 86039, Phone: (520) 734-3000. Please help. Thank you,
