 Mountain, Danny Blackgoat (son\nof Roberta Blackgoat) will speak about 
 relocation, coal mining, and recent\nhappenings at Black Mesa.\nFilm 
 Screening: BROKEN RAINBOW\nAn Academy Award winning documentary. Broken 
 Rainbow reveals the\nmachinations of energy companies and their government 
 proxies as they\neagerly cast aside the peaceful Dine' to make way for oil, 
 gas, uranium\nand coal mining. In their own words, elders and outside 
 experts discuss\nthe rich culture and history of the Navajo as well as 
 their close friends\nand neighbors, the Hopi. Beautifully photographed and 
 scored, Broken\nRainbow compassionately illuminates a modern Trail of Tears

 sacred\nhomelands.\nAdmission: $5-10\nThis event is a benefit for the

 Intermission\n8:00pm: Danny Blackgoat\nBackground:\nSINCE 1974, federal 
 relocation policy has forced 14,000 Dine' (Navajo)\npeople from their 
 ancestral homeland in Arizona. This genocidal policy was\ncrafted by 
 government agents and energy company representatives in order\nto gain 
 access to the mineral resources of Black Mesa - billions of tons\nof coal, 
 uranium and natural gas. For over 30 years, traditional Dine' at\nBlack 
 Mesa have lived in resistance, steadfastly refusing to relocate 
 as\nstrip-mines rip apart their sacred lands and generating plants poison 
 the\ndesert air.\n"We are resisting relocation and the coal mining not only 
 for ourselves\nbut for the whole world. Black Mesa must not be desecrated 
 because of its\nsacredness --it provides life to all living things 
 including all the human\nraces."\nFor more information:\nBlack Mesa
