And now:Ish <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> writes: >From BIGMTLIST Delivered-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: Mon, 03 May 1999 22:00:45 -0700 From: "Jackie Alan Giuliano, Ph.D." <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Genocide of the Navajo People - this week's Healing Our World Hello all, Environmentalists, politicians, scholars, new age speakers and theologians will often speak of the power and wisdom of the native peoples of North America. Their reverence for life, connection to the Earth and appreciation of the web of life are foundational concepts in many philosophies. Yet while many non-Native American people speak of that wisdom from comfortable settings, the United States government continues to implement its final solution for the last remaining original inhabitants of this land. Please read this week's Healing Our World article when you can and learn about the ominous February 2000 deadline by which the U.S. government plans to complete the forced relocation of the Navajo, known as Dineh in their native tongue, that remain at a site in Arizona that they have inhabited since the U.S. Army tried to wipe them all out in 1863. The relocation site is a desolate piece of land downstream from the location of the nation's worst nuclear waste disaster in 1979 and is unfit for humans or animals. All this because we want to exploit the resources beneath their land. Over 12,000 have already been moved and 3,000 mostly elderly people remain. Read of the criminal humans rights abuses that are being implemented by our government. The article "Resource Extraction and Genocide in America" can be found at the Environment News Service (ENS) at http://www.ens.lycos.com/ens/may99/1999L-05-02g.html. An expanded version of this piece with a more complete Resource list can be found at my web site at http://www.jps.net/jackieg/articles/may03-1999g.html#letters. Due to space limitations, the piece on ENS had to be shortened and the Resources reduced. Please consider contacting your elected representatives about this issue (information about how to do that appears in my Resources section). And if you are able, financial contributions are desperately needed by the Dineh as well. Thanks for your time. I wish you peace.
