| 58 | leanne hirsh | It is imperative that we act now on behalf of all humanity to do what is right. Water is our most precious resource for all of us, and there is no time to delay.the option to build solar plants and use this land for the good of all and those living on it makes perfect sense and safeguards all of our futures. |
| 59 | Duke Hayduk | To provide electricity to others through burning coal, The Hopi and Navajo people have been being robbed for many years--aquifer depletion for a 270 mile slurry line using potable water, massive destruction of surface lands on Black Mesa, and secret negotiations so that the coal is sold to power companies far below its monetary value. It's time to do something right for a change. |

| 62 | John H Yazzie Jr | I like the idea of using these credits to give back some resources to allow the older people in both respective communities a means to meet their basic needs. I also like the idea of redirecting those credits into a green energy power plant. I would suggest that the organizations continually evaluate what constitutes green generation so that other options can be contemplated. |

| 75 | Vicky Vinch | Apparently the Hopis are very excited about this? My photographs taken do not reflect this. As I was told while I visted them, California does not feel it should be required to comply with Federal standards for clean air quality, and the generation plant in question provides electricity to Las Vegas. The Hopis indicated to me they will make due with what they have and have learned survival skills well, and have taken a stand and stance on *their* land since they cannot move as most cultures that were initially planters and gatherers did. All I saw in Arizona was a bunch of private jets leaving entrails all over the place landing for the Sedona Film Festival, although the garlic convention was quite nice. The Hopis have a little better understanding of who is screwing who, as do *some* Americans.
I did not see any instability of the land on the Hopi and Navajo reservation, however I did see some in Sedona, and the Rodeo Drive, and none on Shelby Drive at the moment. Lots of cattle coming in, though. Like cats, Texans prefer not to s**T where they eat, and don't clean up their mess - they simply sell it off and relocate to a place where they can do it again, or like CA, simply migrate to the adjoining land, which in this case in AZ.
The Hopis are very literate and very well educated since they have taught themselves, but the US is wanting them to share the joy and place them in boarding schools where they cannot see their children for a week at a time.
The Hopi Elders' Warning: Protect Water Resources
"Water under the ground has much to do with the rain clouds. Everything depends on the proper balance being maintained. The water under ground acts like a magnet attracting rain from the clouds and the rain in the roots of our crops and plants. Drawing huge amounts of water from beneath Black Mesa in connection with the strip mining will destroy the harmony, throw everything we have strived to maintain out of kilter. Should this happen, our lands will shake like the Hopi rattle. The land will dry up. Rains will be barred by unseen forces because we Hopis have failed to protect the land given to us, as we were instructed. Plants will not grow, we will die, not only Hopi's but all will disintegrate into nothing."
Over 30 years of groundwater pumping by Peabody has weakened the water pressure and weakened its breating, causing many of our springs to dry up.
We believe time has come for ALL Hopis to begin learning and trusting the wisdom of our ancestors...to be challenged by the knowledge(Navoti), and to challenge peoples of the world.....
Hopis were shown three simple things; an ear of corn, a gourd of water, and a planting stick. They were then instructed and challenged to create a truly sustainable society using these three things as cornerstones.
It appears that California and Las Vegas are preying on the Hopi culture to simply sustain themselves and avoid having to comply with air and water quality standards as the balance of the world has begun doing. But they are spoiled, after all, and accustomed to getting their way. They *might* even stop making those great movies and magazines we all consider necessities.
The consumer buys it and only the Jet Set profits. The Hopis do not. |
| 76 | Vicky Vinch | PS - Most Hopis and Navajos (as well as Cherokee, etc...) are Veterans and have served in the US Military - both men and women. How about Californians? How about Texans?
Hu's running this country, anyhow? |

It's where YOU spend YOUR dollar. Money runs uphill, s*it runs down. They control the vertical, you control the horizontal.
They've been cutting us off for years - time to turn the tide. Complain to your local supermarket if you do not like your children reading about 50 great sex tips for your partner while they're waiting to get their groceries. Some children, after all, can read. And if they can, they are f*cked. Just depends on who taught them and how they spent their dollar, and where. |

| 89 | Annette Overstreet | This country owes Native peoples more than we will ever be able to repay. A project such as the proposed solar power plant will be a step in the right direction, albeit a tiny one. It is time to shut down all the fossil burning plants and begin to utilize alternative sources of power. And it is time to honor not only the Earth, but the keepers of the Earth, the indigenous people of this nation. |
