Santa Cruz Indymedia | Global Justice and Anti-Capitalism

Sun Nov 16 2008 (Updated 11/21/08) Film Screening Supports Indigenous Resistance at Black Mesa
Black Mesa Benefit and Film Screening on November 17 On November 17th at the Bike Church and SubRosa Infoshop in Santa Cruz, a benefit event was held for Dineh (Navajo) families at Black Mesa who are resisting forced relocation from their ancestral homeland and the expansion of devastating mining operations by Peabody Coal. Broken Rainbow is an Academy Award winning documentary that tells the story of this genocidal, industry-led displacement of over 14,000 Dineh.

In the 34 years since the Relocation Act was passed, Dineh at Black Mesa have steadfastly refused to leave their homeland, carrying on with their traditional ways. The remaining families face harassment from government officials and the steady degradation of their lands from massive strip mining operations.

A Santa Cruz contingent will be joining this year's Black Mesa Caravan. Work crews from across the US will be traveling to Black Mesa, to deliver supplies and assist with on-land projects. Read More
