I've been traveling all over the world and everywhere I find the same thing. Our mother earth is
like a human. It is as if she is getting a lot of surgeries everywhere and the dust is going out and
getting in our lungs. It causes the cancer and these kinds of sickness. Our youngsters are being sent
overseas and being used for their language and to kill people for Washington. Besides, we are not even
recognized as humans. We need to be known.
The most important thing that we've been mentioning in this area is that here is the Altar, that was given
to us by the Holy People, and that the 4 Sacred Mountains that we Dine live here
between are like a hogan, and where we live on Black Mesa is the Altar. And it is right here that they're mining
our mother earth's liver, the coal. So we are struggling here to protect our Altar these days. That
was the law that was made for dine people.
We're not doing it only for the present human beings now. We're looking forward and on and on for generations to come
so they can make a good life for themselves on the planet. We want to stop these pollutions so our young
ones can live in a healthy way after us. That's how the prayer and the holy
songs have been set--that's our path, for a healthy way of life.
