I am posting this at the request of Helen Henry, a supporter of
Dineh resisters on HPL for many years and an organizer of the Big
Mountain Support Group in Denver. I have been posting information
for the last three years as BMSG has no computer.
Helen would like to know how many supporters and support groups
are on the nets. I give her articles that I've printed out and
many times the poster is unknown to her. She would like to work
toward increasing communications between support groups and
perhaps effectiveness as well.
These are some people Helen is in contact with on a regular basis:
Bob Holzman, Ocotillo, CA; Carolyn Fershtman, Philo, CA; John and
Pat Walsh, San Jose, CA.
I would like to give Helen a list of people and groups doing
support work for the Dineh resisters at Big Mountain, AZ.
Please e-mail to me if you have information you would like me to
pass on to Helen.
Thank you.
