9th Circuit Courts Rule: No Sewage on Sacred Land
The 9th Circuit Court of Appeal ruled this week to stop plans by the Arizona Snowbowl Ski Resort to use treated waste water to make snow on a mountain sacred to Native Americans. Native American rights groups say the courts ruling is a first for recognizing Native American Religious Freedoms over government action. Environmental groups also challenged the plan citing concerns about the environmental safety of skiers and children who play in the snow.
