This is the year 2007. As far as we know in the year 1492 the first "Holocaust" began against a race of people that were on this land for millenniums. The American Indian are still discriminated against in unbelievable ways. Treaties made in good faith, are not honored, and still being broken. Indian land and sacred ground, including burial grounds, are still being desecrated and taken away at the discretion of the American Government. The Yucca Mountains, are going to be a nuclear waste site dump, under Senate Joint Resolution 34. On July 9th, 2002 the Senate voted 60-39 to overturn Nevada's veto of the proposed high-level radioactive waste dump at Yucca Mountain, capitulating to the nuclear industry's well-financed lobby despite broad-based opposition from environmental and public interest organizations! The Yucca Mountains site lay on an earthquake fault. On June 15, 2002 there were earthquake tremors! The fact that this ground is considered sacred to the Shoshone and the Pauite never came under consideration. Yucca Mountain is located within the Western Shoshone Nation; the mountain and the surrounding area were NEVER deeded to the U.S. government. In fact, most of the area now used by the U.S. military for nuclear weapons testing and waste storage was explicitly recognized as Shoshone land. And who is the American Government....WE ARE SUPPOSE TO BE! The American Indian doesn't have the rights that any other minority race in this country is afforded. I hope this makes you stop and think!
