Pray for the people of the Havasupai and the Grand Canyon and remember the words of elder Rex Tolusi:
"With the environmental groups that are concerned for animals, for plantlife, for the waters, at times I find it hard to bring these people together, to look at things as we, the indigenous people do. Our environment, we are a part of, for we are the children of our Mother Earth. The groups that I speak to, I tell them, if the fishes can come together, if the four-leggeds can come together, if our feathered relatives come together, why couldn't the two-legged people come together and work together? I feel that it's time now that we look at things around us, as we, the indigenous people, look at the earth, the air, the waters, the universe. We must protect these things. . . .
I want to say the people that are here to spread the word to those who are not here, tell them what we have said here.”
Rex Tilousi, Havasupai Nation, Grand Canyon, USA. Longterm member of the Havasupai Tribal Council, activist against Canyon Uranium Mine.
I have added a HAVASUPAI FLOOD INFO page at 220-productions.com
There is information there on how people can donate to the tribe through Wells Fargo.

RE: POISON WIND News: the film will play at the Heard Museum, in Phoenix, in early 2009. Hopefully there will be a panel discussion afterwords about uranium mining on Indigenous lands and future of mining in the Grand Canyon. The film will also be shown
by the Sierra Club in Flagstaff in early October and at the Western Mining Action Network’s conference in Albuquerque on Sept 24.
We continue to send POISON WIND to film festivals and are very thankful for the 4 we have been screened at so far. The Natural Resources Defense Council asked for a copy of the film and that went out last week. The film will be available for purchase beginning Sept 6 and I'll post information on ordering the DVD by then. The single of
BREEZE IN THE WIND by CLAN II DESTINE will be available too.
