Broken Rainbow is the story of the Dine' people's contemporary resistance to ongoing colonization of their lands, people, and sovereignty by the US government and its Corporate ally, the Peabody Coal Company.
Since 1974 more than 14,000 Dine’ people have been forcibly removed from their ancestral homelands by the U.S government, following the discovery of enormous reserves of low sulfur coal underneath their land.
At this moment, Washington D.C. and Peabody Coal are planning ways to expand their occupation of tribal lands to extract mineral & other resources. These plans would exacerbate already devastating environmental and cultural impacts on local communities.
The communities of Black Mesa have resisted for three decades by staying on their land and continuing their traditional lifeways. This event benefits Black Mesa residents in organizing caravans of activists and volunteers to bring support to their communities before the approaching cold winter months.
Pizza and snacks provided
$5-$10 or more suggested donation.
All funds raised will be split equally between direct funds to elders and supporting participation in the caravan.
