| 1st Lady Tour...... . Greetings Supporters, Since I'm Dineh and this Turtle Island
      (North America) is my ancientcountry, I have every right to state my opinion and refer to
      any
 government official as appropriately as possible. No apologies
      necessary.
 First Lady, "Hilter" R. Clinton
      is no different then all the other leadersof this 'male-dominated' society. The Big Mountain Sovereign
      Dineh Nation
 resistors, mostly women elders, have written numerous letters
      to this high
 government official. There was several personal but official
      letter that
 members of the Weaving for Freedom (Dineh weavers collective)
      send to the
 First Lady, and asking for her to visit the weavers homelands
      and witness
 the situation that the resistors are subjected to.
 The First Lady's secretarial office
      have responded but there was no directresponse from the First Lady. However, despite all the important
      letters
 brought to her attention she chose to "perserve" asphalt-nature
      trails at
 the Grand Canyon and a rusty telescope that sits on a hill in
      Flagstaff,
 Arizona. She stopped in Flagstaff last night just to take a look
      at Mars
 and at another star. Her speech basically stated that it is most
      important
 to save every "treasure" that are endangered throughout
      America. Last
 night in Flagstaff she said, "There are many places, just
      like in your own
 back yards, that are facing endangerment. These very unqiue sites
      are
 well-document, many have accumulated archealogical informations
      and many
 of the sites still hold hundreds of artifacts. So, I just want
      to make all
 of you aware that, we should not just take this for granted."
      Mrs.
 "Hilter" R. Clinton obviously doesn't think that the
      last traditional
 society like in Big Mountain is not endangered, or that it should
      be
 considered as a treasure.
 As Americans, I would like to suggest
      to you all and others to immediatelywrite to the First Lady that she missed a natural society (that
      is only a
 80 mile helicopter ride from Flagstaff) which needs their cultural
      and
 land perserved. Tell her that she definitely knew where she was
      at and her
 ignorance shows an overall "American mentality" of
      denial the 'ethic
 cleansing' that is occurring in this country. Anyway, just state
      to
 her in a kindly manner than how I have stated my feelings.
 Again, thank you to all for your time. In the Spirit of Barboncito, Bahe .  TLS-08
