an AMERICAN WAY: business in NDN country

A message to all members of The Red Nation Society I received this important message from a TRNS member and counting today, there are six days left to act. “Subject: URGENT CRY FOR HELP!!!! Asiyu Brothers and Sisters, Im sending out this cry for help from our Brothers and Sisters in Glen Cove, CA. You may have read about what's going on there.

A company wants to set up a collection of solar panels, and wants to bulldoze off a whole Native American burial site and the remains of an ancient Native settlement to do this. You would have also read many of our sisters and brothers have been protesting and filing lawsuits, injunctions, and everything else they can do peacefully to stop them. What you might not know, is a large group of them has been physically standing guard over this land to stop the destruction for 97 DAYS NOW! And now they've ran out of legal choices and been informed they will be moved by force the 26th of this month! We can NOT let this keep happening to our people and culture! We have lost enough blood, sweat, family, friends,land and DIGNITY to let this continue! So I'm helping to spread the message to everyone possible of the only action we have left to do.

The man to contact who is head of this is Brother Wounded Knee. His number is 707-373-7195, but before you do that please go to their website www.protectglencove.org and sign their online petition to stop this, and especially leave a comment for them as a show of support for everyone of them to read. Then you need to write the 2 local departments in charge of this and demand they stop it, their address is: City of Vallejo Mayor Osby Davis and City Council 555 San Clair, Vallejo CA, 94590

GVRD Mr. Shane Mcaffee 395 Amador St Vallejo CA, 94590

They can also email to Vallejo Times Herald to the readers Opinion and write there as well with 250 words or less to voice their opinions. Look up their phone numbers and emails and FLOOD them with those as well! PLEASE get this to everyone possible! Time is SHORT!! Lets draw a line in the dirt with them NOW and tell the U.S. Government “ENOUGH!!” I try not to ask for much, and never for myself, but these brothers and sisters need us NOW! May The Great Spirit bless you this and every day! With Honor and Respect,"
