DESCRIPTION:San Jose, CA – Pit River Indian Tribe members and Indigenous and 
 environmental justice supporters\nwill deliver an eviction notice to 
 Calpine Corporation in downtown San Jose on Monday, January 29, 2007 
 demanding they drop their decades-long attempt to build polluting power 
 plants in the Medicine Lake Highlands near Mount Shasta.  Tribal members 
 and supporters will vow to nonviolently defend Medicine Lake from any 
 attempts to build power plants at this area that is profoundly sacred to 
 area Native peoples. \n\nThe protest will start with a 10 a.m. rally at 
 Plaza de Cesar Chavez Park and at 12 noon there will be a march to Calpine 
 Headquarters, 50 West San Fernando Street, San Jose. \n\nThe protest comes 
 at a critical time in the long fight to protect the sacred Medicine Lake 
 Highlands from environmental and spiritual degradation. In November 2006, 
 the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals reversed a lower court decision and 
 indicated that the federal agencies neglected their fiduciary 
 responsibilities to the Pit River Nation by violating the National 
 Environmental Protection and the National Historic Preservation Acts and 
 that the agencies never took the requisite "hard look" at whether the 
 Highlands should be developed for energy at all.  As a result, the court 
 rejected the extension of leases that would have allowed Calpine to develop 
 geothermal plants, and the district court is now directed to enter summary 
 judgment in favor of Pit River consistent with this opinion. Tribal members 
 and supporters demand that Calpine drop their plans once and for all and 
 not appeal the court decision. \n\nSponsors of the event include Advocates 
 for the Protection of Sacred Sites, Seventh Generation Fund, Greenaction 
 for Health and Environmental Justice, International Indian Treaty Council, 
 Indigenous Environmental Network, Citizens of the Pitt River Nation, Indian 
 People Organizing for Change, Vallejo Inter-tribal Council,  Da'hu La'h As 
 Sacred Sites Defense, Redding Rancheria Cultural Department.\n\n
