 Off Topic......I know,but it is a worthwhile thing.It
would seem that any relavent topic that involves
activism and the hacker ethics should be considered
for hacktivism topics?
Still...I am not really sure exactly what is On
Topic....so, I bring this to the table...for your
perusal.

This was E-mailed to me and I went and checked it out
first. It is legit.It is going to happen.People are
going to die.This kind of thing is stupid as slavery.
It should have died out ages ago.It must be stopped.
knowingly and willingly placing people ANY race, in
direct danger such as a stripmined dump that has not
been cleaned up is just another form of genocide...I
see here why this country is so slow to aid other
countries when they beg for help in their genocide
issues...this country is no different.on my
reservation there are open areas of
plutonium,abandoned that way for 20 odd years... the
lukemia incidence is high there.etc.

Subject: Please help the Dine'h. 
To weave for the Dine'h is a prayer of thanksgiving
for the Dine'h, 
"the people" whom some call Navaho. Without their
sheep they cannot pray. 

As of Feb. 1, 2000 this proud independent matriachal
culture will be 
forced once again to move to a "New Land", to be
relocated, which they 
have no word for in their language. 

In 1998, President Clinton signed the Relocation Act
during a golf 
game, condemning the Dine'h to be moved again against
their will, to "New Land" which is filled with
radioactive uranium tailings at 100 times the maximum
safety level. 

It's rather late in the game but we had to try and
help these people. 
7 grandmothers have refused to sign over their land,
and will refuse 
because Big Mountain is sacred to them, the Earth
their Mother, this is their lives they refuse to hand
over to the BIA, and Peabody Coal. 
These 7 grandmothers are the elders of the Dine'h and
represent 14,000 
people. 

The Dine'h people are afraid that their will be
another Ruby Ridge or 
Waco or Wounded Knee on or before Feb. 1 

Please sign the Petition to end the genocide of the
Dine'h People, and 
let them continue to weave and breathe. 

This is surely one of the darkest episodes in our
history.
