Navajo feel a long way from Washington

Navajo feel a long way from Washington

Historically remote from federal politics, Indian nations are being wooed this year

Dan Glaister in Window Rock
Friday October 1, 2004

Doris Clark was driving through the reservation listening to the radio when she heard the news about the hurricane battering the coast hundreds of miles away. "There was a state of emergency declared in Florida and President Bush said he'd give $2m to help people with no water and no electricity. And I thought, OK, we have that on the reservation. There are places where we have no running water and no electricity, no phone. Why doesn't anybody say there's a state of emergency at the reservation?"

This is the Navajo Nation, an area the size of France in Arizona, New Mexico and Utah. More than half its population live below the poverty level. With an average annual income of $6,000, (£3,470) the Navajo constitute not only a nation within a nation, but a developing nation within a developed country.

It is a state of affairs the federal establishment has been reluctant to acknowledge, which may explain why the Navajo have never been much interested in national politics. But in a presidential election in which every vote is cherished, the candidates have been trying to change that, paying more attention than ever before to Native Americans.

George Bush held a private meeting with the vice-president of the Navajo Nation, Frank Dayish Jnr, before a campaign event in New Mexico in August. And John Kerry became the first presidential candidate to campaign on Native American land when he appeared at a meeting of Navajo and Zuni Indians in Gallup, New Mexico, 20 miles from Window Rock, Arizona.

Although American Indians make up only 1.5% of the US population, many of them live in swing states. Their reservations contain the bulk of America's casinos and the income from gambling has turned the tribes into potential donors: they have given $36,000 (£20,809) to the Bush campaign and $17,000 to Kerry's.

And as with any poor ethnic minority in the US, the war in Iraq is a potent issue: proportionately more American Indians are serving in Iraq than any other ethnic group. When the Navajo do vote in federal elections they tend to be overwhelmingly Democrat.

"It's kind of comical," said Edison Wauneka, executive director of the Navajo election administration, who says that 95% of registered Navajo voters are Democrats. "The Navajo people say we're more familiar with a donkey [the Democratic party's symbol], we're not familiar with an elephant [the Republican symbol]. But really our culture is more similar to the Republicans. It is more in our culture to be self sufficient."

Poverty is probably the greatest factor in shaping the political attitudes of the Navajo: 56% of the 180,000 people living as part of the Navajo nation are below the official poverty level.

But apathy has been a core reason why the Navajo, who vote in numbers for their own internal government, have been luke-warm at best towards presidential campaigns. That might change if they felt they had more clout. Although they were granted sovereign nation status by the federal government in 1868 in exchange for giving up land rights, the Navajo vote in the three states that contain the reservation, reducing their impact.

Some Navajo leaders would prefer it if they could have their own electoral college voting en bloc.

There are 2.5m Native Americans in the US, and the Navajo is the largest tribe. "When we vote for the president of the United States I wish we could vote as a nation," Mr Wauneka said. "We say we're a sovereign nation but we don't own our lands. The Indian nations don't even have a voting bloc. If they were to come together they would become strong and make a difference."

But Robert Black Jnr, another election authority official, believes the Navajo can be more influential voting in their respective states, particularly in potential swing states where their votes can have a disproportionate influence.

"We have the possibility of swinging electoral votes in Arizona, New Mexico and Utah. It could be less effective if it was a Navajo nation with its own electoral college," he said.

The priority this November is to get the Navajo to vote, and so officials have moved the Navajo's own government elections to coincide with the presidential election.

The apathy is not helped by language and tradition. The Navajo language is dying out, but many of the older generations do not speak English and have previously relied on picture cards and translators to help them vote.

"We're very proud of our picture ballots," said Mr Wauneka, holding up a yellow sample ballot card, with mugshots of the candidates alongside name and party allegiance listings. "A lot of states have problems with language barriers and we think picture ballots can help."

Neocons are not conservatives, driving the deficit up and the size of government. Neolibs are not for the workers and poor, not with NAFTA/GATT and busting more pot than all previous drug worriers. Starting three wars and continuing the others. Neochristians don't follow Jesus, with diamond mines and forced pisstastes, rehabilitation on faith. Casting stones on stoners and stealing widows mites. Neonatives selling out tribes, trickle down casinos, like CA lotteries funding education. Neorepresentatives following an agenda, written by neocapitalists cashing in on taxes spent.

Every buck they stash in the Caymans, workers have to pay. Every time they right off PDFA donations, a worker has to pay for cages. Made in the USAl Qaeda with Thailand prison slave labor. Or Wallmart St flags, from Chinese kids sewing Iranian crude oil plastic. To jerk at each other and recite copy-write infringed poems of allegiance to the new weird odor.

In agreement with the memo readers on the radio/television. That we're all free to graze in almost any part of the pasture. It's better than not working. Blame the Unions and the Homeless, not the CEO's plutonium umbrellas, Enron ethics and Cheney book cooking schools. A living wage would stimulate the economy, more than Foreign G-20 Forbes list Banksters trickle me Rayguns. Neomexamericanadians electing naked emperors and obedient servants.

"The past it just crumbled, the future just threatens; Our life blood shut up in your chemical tanks And now here you come, bill of sale in your hands And surprise in your eyes that we're lacking in thanks For the blessings of civilization you've brought us, The lessons you've taught us, the ruin you've wrought us -- Oh see what our trust in America's brought us...

Hands on our hearts we salute you your victory, Choke on your blue white and scarlet hypocrisy Pitying the blindness that you've never seen That the eagles of war whose wings lent you glory They were never no more than carrion crows, Pushed the wrens from their nest, stole their eggs, changed their story; The mockingbird sings it, it's all that he knows...

Ah what can I do?" say a powerless few...
With a lump in your throat and a tear in your eye --
Can't you see that their poverty's profiting you...

Wall street's Spontaneous Abortionists

The timing and types of pesticide exposures are critical determinants of reproductive outcomes, according to a recently published study by Canadian researchers. The study examined pesticide exposures based on recall by farm families and reported histories of spontaneous abortions among women living on the farms. Hemp could be grown without the pesticides that are necessary for cultivation of other textiles and paper products, except it's unethically scheduled a #1 dangerous narcotic.

Canada's Tar Sands: the dirtiest oil on earth.

First Nations sponsor anti-oilsands ad in USA Today
EDMONTON — Aboriginals in northern Alberta are trying to turn American opinion against the oilsands with a full-page ad in the largest-circulation newspaper in the United States.

The Athabasca Chipewyan First Nation and the Mikisew Cree First Nation took out the ad in Tuesday's edition of USA Today [read more below] because they feel federal and provincial regulators are not listening to their concerns about the polluting energy source.

They joined forces with an American environmental group called ForestEthics to place the ad, which shows an oil-spattered Canada dripping oil onto the United States.

They say they hope the ad persuades U.S. President Barack Obama to ask Canada to clean up its oilsands.

"President Obama," the ad reads, "you'll never guess who's standing between us and our new energy economy . . . Canada's Tar Sands: the dirtiest oil on earth." continued...

S.D. Family Seeks The Right To Grow Hemp

The Ganjawar Comes To The Rez

When Alex White Plume planted a field full of industrial-grade hemp, he hoped that his crop might lift his family and community out of poverty. Then the DEA came to Pine Ridge.

Alex White Plume called it his "field of dreams": an acre and a half of plants so tall and strong they seemed to touch the sky; a crop representing hope for a new and self-sufficient life for his family, residents of the desperately impoverished Pine Ridge Indian Reservation in South Dakota.

But on Aug. 24, 2000 at sunrise, just four days before White Plume and his neighbors planned to harvest their bounty, White Plume awoke to the sounds of helicopters. He looked out the window and saw a convoy of vehicles heading for his field.

He raced down to investigate, and was met by a slew of black-clad and heavily armed figures -- 36 agents from the Drug Enforcement Administration, the FBI, the Bureau of Indian Affairs, and the US Marshal's office.

When White Plume rolled down the window of his pick-up to ask what was going on, he says, one US marshal pointed a gun in his face. Meanwhile, the other agents chopped down each plant near the roots and hauled them away.

Appeals Court Rules Against Indian Reservation

Alex White Plume, vice president of the Oglala Sioux Tribe,
and members of his family planted hemp on their property
but it was cut down and confiscated by federal agents.

Industrial hemp is related to marijuana and is used to make rope
and other products. It has only a trace of the drug in marijuana,
but it is illegal to grow hemp in the United States.

We are not unmindful of the challenges faced by members of the tribe to engage in sustainable farming on federal trust lands...

This means that the Creator granted sovereignty to the tribes, not the federal government or the Congress. The federal government has acknowledged the inherent nature of tribal sovereignty in the U. S. Constitution.

"Not only are we here to protect the public from vicious criminals in the street but also to protect the public from harmful ideas."
- Robert Ingersoll, first director of the DEA

Chinese Hemp Industry has Boundless Potential
Business News Source: People's Daily November 05, 2001
As world fashion increasingly moves toward simplicity, comfort and health protection, experts point out that hemp, a major economic crop in China, could have great market prospects after the nation's entry into the World Trade Organization. Xia Jingyuan, a senior official with the Chinese Ministry of Agriculture in charge of the extension of agricultural technology, said that the annual output of Chinese linen is worth over 10 billion yuan (about 1.2 billion US dollars).

Ganja/Hemp

Hemp seed oil has been called Nature's perfect blend of Essential Fatty Acids due to the large amount of these substances contained in the oil. Specifically Hemp seed oil has large amounts of Lineolenic (Omega-3), and Lineoleic (Omega-6) fatty acids. These are considered to be essential by nutritionists since humans are unable to synthesize them, thus they must consume them from an external source.

Practical, inexpensive fire-resistant construction material, with excellent thermal and sound-insulating qualities, is made by heating and compressing plant fibers to creat strong construction paneling, replacing dry wall and plywood. William B. Conde of Conde's Redwood Lumber, Inc. near Eugene, Oregon, in conjunction with Washington State University (1991-1993), has demonstrated the superior strength, flexibility, and economy of hemp composite building materials compared to wood fiber, even as beams.
