For the life of me, I do not understand why so many do not see that! I am just so frustrated.

People in Ann Arbor are planning on carpooling to Lansing June 3. I also notified a few in Canada, asking everyone to share this information with everyone they know. Also to check out facebook. Sage is being burned at this moment and prayers being sent out to everyone. Mother Earth is in pain, she will heal herself, but WE CAN NOT live without her. Megwetch to those brave brothers and sisters who have been camping there for a month and putting themselves last to help save our Mother Earth.

We will all call elected officials and find media connections and Native American connections around the country. You are not alone. There are more and more of us that know and care every day. What's happening is wrong. Several friends met today and shared ideas. We will all call elected officials and find media connections and Native American connections around the country.

When she dies, we will also die for she gives us life. What more will it take...another disaster like the horrific oil catastrophe in the gulf?

Hammond Sat, 24 Apr 2010 15:28:47 +0000 http://www.yellowdogwatershed.org/blog/?p=370#comment-555 It is totally ridiculous that a private citizen would be arrested for trespassing on public land. Not to mention it is totally ridiculous that a company would begin work on an area when it is doubtful whether they have the appropriate permits to do so. Has anyone thought beyond the short-term gain of employment to the long-term consequences of the destruction of pristine land for the enjoyment of the local citizens and the tourists who would like to enjoy this area? It would behoove the company and the local agencies to take another look at the eventual consequences of mining in this area. I live in the Lower Peninsula and would like to be able to see this area. If the area is destroyed, I and my friends will be unable to see it, and yes, spend money in the economically depressed Upper Peninsula. And yes, the Lower Peninsula is also economically depressed, but we also have few areas down here left to enjoy. The ones we do still have are overrun by tourists and are difficult to enjoy anymore.
