7th European Meeting of North American Indian Support Groups
July, 15 - 20th 1991, Stadtroda, Thuringia, Germany
Resolution on the Relocation of Dineh
WHEREAS
the BIA has instituted a policy of harassment to implement
Public Law 93-531, intended to force families into relocation,
including:
- Air Force training flights close to the ground, over livestock, the
homes of resisters and community meetings.
- The building of fences, construction of water diversion projects and
dams which destroy burial grounds, medicinal herb gathering places
and other sacred sites.
- The court ordered demolition of specific homes and ceremonial hogans,
designed to increase anxiety and despair.
WHEREAS
Peabody Coal Corporation has violated the air quality, the lands
sustainability by their usage of toxic chemicals; strip mining
activities affect the quality and quantity of water on the Black Mesa
area, with slurry line functions and others operations of the Phoenix
water project.
WHEREAS
Peabody Coal Corporation has disregarded the sacredness of the
continuation of the lives of both the Dineh and Hopi peoples by creating
problems with the water availability, the wildlife, and the religious
usage of the religious and sacred sites thereby disrupting the harmony
and balance of the natural world.
WHEREAS
The United States government continues to carry on its slow
death genocide through its relocation program and low intensity
warfare upon not only the Dineh but also their neighbors, the Hopi
people.
THEREFORE WE DEMAND
- an Intensive and Comprehensive investigation of Treaty Rights
- a stop of any Corporate and U.S. sponsored activities of genocide
against people of Dineh and Hopi Nations
- a stop to the inhumane activities of the U.S. Government
