BACKGROUND:
Since 1974, a congressional mandate authorized 18,000 Dineh to vacate their ancestral homelands in northeastern Arizona. Over 4,000 more were displaced. This law is a practice of genocide according universal to Human Rights doctrines. Southwestern energy companies conspired to have this law passed to gain access to natural resources of Black Mesa - enough coal to mine until 2060, billions of acre feet of aquifer depleted, and potential for shale fracking.
