Protest in response to the arrests of Traditional
Dineh Elders at the Camp Anna Mae Sundance at
Big Mountain, Arizona..... On Wednesday Five traditional Dineh
Elders were arrested at the Sundance. They were held overnight
in Hopi jail and were released at 11:15am Thursday morning
on their own recognizance. They are being charged with
Trespassing and "No Permit for a Ceremony".
Those arrested were: Ruth Benally (85 years old) and a
medicine woman, Pauline Whitesinger (in her 80's), Elvira
Horseherder (62 years old), Louise Benally, Joella Askie.
These elders have been struggling against forced relocation
at the hands of the "United States Government" and the
"Peabody Coal Company" who want the coal, oil and uranium
deposists that lie beneath thier lands.
These arrests are a dangerous escalation of the attempt to
force these elders from their land and deny them their basic
human rights of Freedom of Religion and the right to carry
on their ceremonies on their own traditional sacred lands.
The official word is that these types of harassments are
already intensifying this year as more and more restrictions
are placed on the elders baisc human rights, increasing the
chance of their continued arrest and eventual forced
relocation unless we act now to stop this cultural genocide.
Please call and tell these officials to drop the charges
against the elders and to stop harassing them and finally,
to end the policy of forced relocation at Big Mountain.
