This is a good example of the discrimination that Native Americans have had to and are experiencing with the U.S. Government. It will probably continue until they take everything from what the native americans have left. It has never been fair from the beginning when they came over on their boats.

One of the most important issues, that the mainstream media has chosen to not report on, Your vote on this issue is vital.

P.S. - Right now these same group of companies are fighting to get into the Grand Canyon, to mine right on the Colorado River. They're looking to take Uranium.

just not right, I had to watch this in my jewelry and metals class and basically cried. And now that I'm working on a speech for FFA on the BLM and what their doing with the American Mustangs this is going to be useful. But I can't believe how shady my own government is.

The Danns are my friends. I live in Crescent Valley. The water now is toxic, full of arsenic. My brother died from cancer, my best friend, my nieghbors, too many in Crescent Valley are dying from the Cancer growing from the arsenic in the water. They are letting us die, trying to run us all out.

For the gold? How much gold was my brother counted worth?
