Robert Nutlouis, Navajo youth from Pinon, Ariz., said the coal slurry of Peabody Coal is robbing the people of Black Mesa of their only source of water, the aquifer. Nutlouis pointed out that the Navajo Nation Council was originally established for the purpose of signing energy leases and today the council continues to sell the resources and ignore the suffering of the Dineh.
Ernest Moristo spoke of efforts to protect the Baboquivari Mountains, the home of the Tohono O'odham's sacred being Itoi, from tribal development near the Arizona and Mexico border.
Tonya Gonnella Frichner shared the spiritual legacies of the Six Nations Iroquois. Lakotas Leonard Little Finger, Richard Broken Nose, Joann Tall and Rosalie Little Thunder offered prayers and spoke of the need for a spiritual unity to restore mankind.
The Chiapas womens theater, FOMMA, performed with four Mayan women playing multiple roles of men and women in a script they wrote revealing the struggles of Indigenous women. The lively, masked Tecuany traditional dancers of Guerrera, Mexico, followed.
The Tlahokan Atzlan gathering, March 7 - 9, is being held at the Nahuacalli center, 802 N. 7th St. in Phoenix. Tonatierra and the Seventh Generation Fund are co-sponsors of the conference. The telephone is 602-254-5230.
