A map of the Mining and Piping operations are found depicted below.<br /><br />Not that long ago, the United Nations performed a Human Rights Investigation of the forced Navajo resettlement from Arizona to Nevada, under Special Rapporteur A. Amor. A law revised and submitted to Congress by Senator John McCain and others before him was determined to be the root cause of violations, which after ratification by President Clinton in 1999 during a globally publicized sit in by Songstress Julia Butterfly Hill at Big Mountain, Arizona. The enactment led to the removal of the Dineh band of Navajo from the Black Mesa to free the lands up to mining, and could lead to relocation of the Dineh-Navaho from Big Mountain, all based on a tissue of deceit, false claims of prior ownership by a small group of paid Arizona locals of Indian descent led by one Wayne Taylor, working for McCain and Peabody.

Opponents say that the Navajo are being moved off their land so coal companies can mine it. John McCain's Senate Bill 1003 would require their imminent removal by 2008. But the remaining Navajo REFUSE TO BE MOVED.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.indybay.org/uploads/2006/06/26/aanestadonnavajohopi6-26.wav"></a><a href="http://premium.fileden.com/premium/2007/5/3/1042435/aanestadonnavajohopi6-26.wma">Click here</a> to listen to story.Dineh Joehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07288235285410497241noreply@blogger.com0
