"They are coming again to take our land and our water. Peabody Energy, the world’s largest private sector coal company, is planning to tear another 180 million tons of coal from the Hopi heartland."

If you\'ve been following the situation at Big Mountain over the years you\'re probably already aware of the inter-tribal dynamics involved in the issue of stripmining in Hopi and Navajo territory (not to mention the nefarious deeds of the corporados at Peabody Energy and the USG).
