During Roberta
Blackgoat's recent visit to Sweden (see details on SENAA
Sweden's site) , she distributed copies of her newest petition of the U.S.
government, the BIA, and Peabody and announced that, after gathering sufficient
signatures, she would present them, in person, to the Congress of the United
States. Roberta has now set a tentative date when she will make the
presentation.
Roberta Blackgoat
wishes to present the petition signatures to Congress as close to Thanksgiving
Day as possible. In her
letter to SENAA International, she asked SENAA to raise the money for her
round trip ticket to Washington, D.C. and back to Black Mesa. SENAA will honor
that request by doing fundraisers and by asking you, the Black Mesa Dine'h
supporters worldwide to help by contributing whatever you are able to help with
Roberta's transportation, food, and lodging required for the trip. (See Notice
and mailing address at the end of this announcement for instructions and special
notice concerning contributions.)
Since flying is the
quickest means and the least stressful, SENAA asks that supporters keep in mind
the cost of round trip air fare from Phoenix to Washington, D.C. when making
contributions. The estimated cost of round trip air fare will be posted as soon
as SENAA can get the details, which should be sometime within the next 24 hours.
SENAA also reminds
supporters that Roberta Blackgoat is a respected Dine'h Elder who has fought
long and hard for her people. Most of you will recall that, when empty promises
fell through regarding Kee Shay's legal expenses for his Exclusion Hearing,
Roberta loaned Kee Shay the money for his attorney fees in order to ensure that
his expenses were paid, giving SENAA the time necessary to generate the funds,
which we repaid to Roberta Blackgoat. Roberta Blackgoat is a woman of honor. As
a woman dedicated to her people, she deserves our help. SENAA asks all Dine'h
supporters who are able to please help Roberta fulfill this important
undertaking.
Another consideration
will be Roberta's need for a traveling companion to help her carry the reams of
paper bearing the many petition signatures that supporters have gathered and
sent to her since she began circulating the petition. This is a detail that
Roberta has not yet informed SENAA about. Watch SENAA's web sites for updates.
Roberta's
petition can be found on and printed from SENAA
Sweden's web site.
NOTICE :
All contributions should be mailed
DIRECTLY to either Roberta Blackgoat or to SENAA International. These are the
ONLY authorized recipients of funds for this project. If anyone else claims to
be authorized by Roberta Blackgoat or anyone else to receive funds for her
travel to Washington, D.C., their claims are false and should be reported to
SENAA International at once. Mailing addresses are given at the end of this
announcement.
SENAA would rather see contributions
mailed directly to Roberta Blackgoat. If you send funds to Roberta directly,
please include a note to let Roberta know that your contribution is to go toward
transportation, food, and lodging for her trip to Washington, D.C. SENAA asks,
too, that you e-mail us at senaa@senaa.org
and let us know how much you have contributed, so we will know when
Roberta's needs have been met.
If you wish to receive a tax deduction
for your contribution, SENAA International is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit
organization. To receive the deduction, your contribution will have to come
through our bank account. SENAA cannot issue a receipt for Contributions going
directly to Roberta Blackgoat. SENAA issues receipts by return mail for all
contributions coming through our account.
