DESCRIPTION:BR 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.  \n\nSince 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.\n\nAt this moment, the 
 decision makers in Washington D.C. are planning ways to expand their 
 occupation of tribal lands to extract mineral & other resources. Peabody 
 Coal, the world’s largest coal company, is currently pushing through 
 plans to massively expand coal strip-mining operations targeting the 
 Dine’ (Navajo) & Hopi peoples sacred ancestral homelands. If expansion 
 plans are permitted, it would exacerbate already devastating environmental 
 and cultural impacts on local communities and significantly add fuel to the 
 fire of the current climate chaos we all face.\n\nThe resisting communities 
 of Black Mesa have fought these efforts for three decades by staying on 
 their land and continuing their traditional lifeways, despite ongoing 
 harassment for the government and Peabody Coal. With the guidance of Black 
 Mesa residents, the aim of the caravan is to honor the elders and to bring 
 support to their communities before the approaching cold winter 
 months.\n\nJoin us as we stand with Big Mountain elders in their struggle 
 on behalf of their peoples, their sacred ancestral lands, and future 
 generations.\n\nTo read more about Black Mesa and the resistance of the 
 elders, go to:  blackmesais.org\n
