Discovering
Dominga
When Denese Becker, an Iowa housewife who was adopted, looks into
her
birthplace in Guatemala, finds that she is the last survivor of her
family
after a massacre of Mayan peasants. Denese's journey home is both a
voyage

American
family and a political awakening that sheds light on an act of
genocide.

Aleut
Story
In the turbulence of war, the Aleuts of Alaska would redefine
themselves –
and America. From indentured servitude and being put into
concentration
camps during World War II, to Congress and the White House, this is
the
incredible story of the Aleuts’ decades-long struggle for our
nation’s
ideals.

Alcatraz Is Not An Island
When a small group of Native American students and “Urban Indians”
began the
occupation of Alcatraz Island in November 1969, they sparked a
movement
joined by thousands, retaking “Indian land” for the first time since
the
1880s. This historic event altered U.S. Government Indian policy and
programs, and how it forever changed the way Native Americans viewed
themselves, their culture and their sovereign rights.

Our Spirits Don’t Speak English: Indian Boarding School
On June 10, 2008, the government of Canada formally apologized to
the world
for its treatment of American Indians in the last century. This
story
examines the harrowing story of young Native American and First
Nation’s
children who were taken away from their families and sent to
boarding
schools designed to destroy their culture and tribal unity.
I was hoping you
would be willing to send out to your email list this notice of my
book "Pagans
in the Promised Land: Decoding the Doctrine of Christian
Discovery."
Below are two links, one to an article I wrote some time ago, and
a review of my book by Richard Marcus...Links below...

Help
Protect Native American Lands
Dear Friend,
The US Bureau of Land Management is
currently reviewing a
proposal to expand the Cortez Hills
Project. If approved, it
would be one of the country's largest
gold mines. The project
would disturb over 6,500 acres of public
land-all of which are
considered traditional lands by the
Western Shoshone. We
urgently need your help to convince the
US government to deny
this proposal.
The entire area lies within Western
Shoshone boundaries of the
1863 Treaty of Ruby Valley, which
recognized Shoshone rights to
this land. The area includes Mount Tenabo,
an extremely
significant spiritual and cultural area
to the Western Shoshone.
Many Shoshone have long expressed deep
concerns and outright
opposition to any further exploration on
their lands, without
their free, prior, and informed consent.
The US Bureau of Land
Management is currently taking comments
on this proposal until
Dec. 4. We are calling on our supporters
to join with us in
signing the petition urging the bureau to
reject this proposal.
Please sign the petition today!
Thank you for standing with Oxfam and the
Western Shoshone. Please see below...

regarding the discovery of Native American human remains and associated
grave goods; bring legal action to prevent severe and irreparable damage
to sacred shrines, ceremonial sites, sanctified cemeteries and place of
