ALSO:
* Black Mesa Support Slideshow
* Desserts and food
Admission is $5-20, no one turned away.
This is a benefit for Black Mesa families resisting relocation.
BACKGROUND:
In Northeastern Arizona, traditional Diné (Navajo) elders and families at Black Mesa are continuing a decades-long resistance to coal strip-mining and forced relocation from their sacred ancestral lands.
“Our life is our religion, and our religion is the land.”
Thomas Katenay, Diné
In the Monterey and SF Bay Areas, Ohlone people continue to fight for cultural survival and the protection of their sacred places and burial grounds. “Un-recognized” by the federal government, the Ohlones have no land-base and live day to day within a settler society that is largely ignorant of their continued existence.
“What I say about this development that happens all over the Bay Area, is that it’s a cultural genocide. They’re trying to wipe us out, in a different kind of a way.”
Corrina Gould, Ohlone
