San Francisco Peaks, a sacred place in the hearts of Native Americans may be over run by development. An all to familiar story as Native Americans have been historically forced to give up land, money, and assimilate culture to a destructive modern society of European conquerors and coperations. Join the Rally to SAVE THE PEAKS this Sunday 6/14/09 in Flagstaff, Arizona. FROM SAVE THE PEAKS.ORG: The Save the Peaks Coalition was formedto address environmental and human rights issues caused by proposed ski resort development on the San Francisco Peaks, a mountain in Northern Arizona held sacred by over 13 Native American Nations.
The proposed development will further the desecration of this sacred site, increase threats to endangered species, and cause environmental destruction.
SAVE THE PEAKS RALLY/PROTEST THIS SUNDAY!!! PLEASE JOIN US!
FROM MOKSHYA MYSPACE: (mook-she-ya) As americans, most of us pride ourselves on being a country open to all races and religious beliefs.....you know, the land of the free. two days ago the supreme court once again proved quite the opposite to be true. by refusing to even rule on this case the highest court in the land outright declared that native americans don't even deserve to be listened to, and that their religious beliefs are not important enough to honor and defend. i am so angry at this country right now. we run around the world saving the oppressed and starting wars in the name of liberty, yet to this day we are still oppressing those from which we stole this land to begin with. right here in our back yard we are committing crimes against humanity and the planet and have been for hundreds of years.....perhaps we should declare war on ourselves????
we are all one my friends, and it is more than time to remember.
VIVA LA LOVELUTION!!!

TAKE ACTION:
Contact Congress (http://www.visi.com/juan/congress/) & the Obama Administration (http://www.whitehouse.gov/CONTACT/) and urge them to take action to guarantee protection for Native American Religious freedom.
Obama has previously made statements during his campaign vowing to help tribes protect threatened sacred sites. “Native American sacred places and site-specific ceremonies are under threat from development, pollution, and vandalism,” stated his platform. “Barack Obama supports legal protections for sacred places and cultural traditions, including Native ancestors’ burial grounds and churches.”
