Mobilization 2000 continues to build to 2001 from phone mobilization to Lehman Brothers Shareholders meeting April 3rd 2001 New York City

Dec. 18 2000

To National and International concerned people:

We wish to say our word again with honor and respect to the global public from the Indigenous Navajo and Hopi people who are in resistance. We are in Resistance. We will never surrender, we will never give up. We will never sell our Land or what is ours.

We are reaching out to all honest people; people who are in all honest struggles. We reach out to you, our Indigenous Brothers and Sisters for solidairity and to unite against "the Beast" (Peabody Coal Co.). We are the little people. All of us are mostly Indigenous People and for many years we've veen trying to find a political solution to the conflict in Big Mountain, "U.S. of A". We have placed ourselves under the protection of International Treaties in the United Nations. There are a lot of NGOs that are aware of the Big Mountain conflict now. And the corrupted government doesn't want this for many years they tried to "keep a lid on it". But now the People from Big Mountain are speaking out and we are building a mobilization and reaching out for voices to come together and unite against Lehman Brothers and Peabody Coal Co. and the BIA for their mistreatment and the Navajo and Hopi Councils for "bleeding their own race." They should be punished for these things.

The invitation is open for you to come to a meeting and give your voice for Human Rights and the Environment if you stand for these things. We know there are a lot of struggles out there; we're not saying we are the only one. We need everyone to be there on April 3rd in New York City at the Lehman Brothers Shareholders meeting. That way we know we are not alone. We're not living alone in silence, or dying in silence. So we are doing this for the people who have nothing. We are changing from a National Sacrifice area to a National Historic Cultural Preservation Site. We are facing Lehman Brothers to tell them to change corporate relations with the Indigenous people and to Respect our Altar.

We need your presence and your voice at the corporate shareholders meeting of Lehman Brothers that now owns Peabody Coal Co. Come on April 3rd in New York City. We will meet with Lehman Brothers corporation in a good way with a good heart.

Thats all for now

Good Health and Embrace
