[ Due to the fact that NativeNet is not presently in a position to present
both sides of this apparent conflict between Navajo (Dine') and Hopi
peoples, those interested in getting the perspective of this organization
are referred to the Web site referred to in this announcement, where the
full (>500 line) text of this article can be found. Regular bulletins
on the ongoing dispute are available at that Web site. Perhaps at some
future date it will be possible to sponsor a dialogue that permits both
sides to air their views on the situation. --Gary (gst@gnosys.svle.ma.us) ]

WHAT IS SDN? To strengthen our resistance, residents have united under
Sovereign Dine' Nation (SDN), an organization begun years ago. Roberta
Blackgoat is the Chairperson. SDN represents a loose affiliation of Big
Mountain Sovereign Dine' Nation, Mosquito Springs Sovereign Dine' Nation
and Cactus Valley / Red Willow Spring Sovereign Communities. Please
support the Dine' resistance and read what is happening on the new SDN
home page.

WHAT YOU CAN DO TO HELP: August 2, 1996 is the end of the 104th Session
of Congress. There are only 24 days left. The Senate Committee on Indian
Affairs is currently drafting legislation to vote on passage to extend the
term of the lease length portion of the proposed Accommodation Agreement
from 25 years to 75 years. Then it may go to the House. This is the time
that legislation is hastily drafted and voted upon without due consideration
of effects cause by passage.
