Broken Rainbow - Part 6 of 7

On December 1974 Congress passed Public Law 93-531 "The Navajo-Hopi Land Settlement Act". It authorized the partitioning of the Joint Use Area (JUA) and established the Navajo-Hopi Indian Relocation Commission (NHIRC) which moved Navajo people from the reservation lands. Countless of the most traditionally and culturally intact Dineh (Navajo) people were forced to re-locateto cities like Shiprock and Tuba City.

This 1985 documentary traces the history of both tribes and the events that led to this devastating land grab by Peabody Coal and Bechtel Corporations, assisted by our own government(major players included Barry Goldwater,Morris Udall,John McCain, and President Ford). The goal: access to coal and uranium resources.

Narrators include Martin Sheen, Buffy Sainte-Marie and Burgess Meredith.

This documentary won the 1986 Best Documentary Academy Award, but you'd be hard pressed to find it in video stores gor on-line.

Congressman Udall - uhh uhh play it down - dirty scum you are- this is not relocation or giving up something they dont want to- this is terrorism - shows -if you will approve of this- the Feds will do anything - explains why 3 buildings can free fall - like a controlled demo - for the steel was incapable of burning down... then claim it burnt down cause of 2 planes- We the People are the Government - the US Gov. Inc are not they are terrorist and the proofs in the pudding.

Lol, the part where they bulldoze down the plants reminds me of "Avatar".

How evil do you have to be to damage people's livestock in order to blackmail them to leave.
