BIAS AGAINST AMERICAN INDIANS STILL EXISTS.
It ranges from those who think Indian casinos should be subjected to a different set of
rules than non-Indian casinos to a different set of rules for murder. This article by S Buchanan touches the surface
of the problem:

THE CHIEF ILLINIWEK CONTROVERSY CONTINUES.
My personal feeling is that the time and effort spent on symbolic issues would
be better directed towards urgent real issues, like access to healthcare, and
the quality of healthcare when it is available. (see the urban Indian healthcare
link below….the new funding cycle begins again this year.)

PEOPLE SOMETIMES WONDER ,
if I appraise pre-historic items,
WHY I do not buy and sell them. These articles serve as a good explanation:

"SAN CARLOS - In the dead of night, looters are destroying the history of
America, desecrating sacred Indian ruins.
An estimated 80 percent of the nation's ancient archaeological sites have
been plundered or robbed by shovel-toting looters. Though some of the
pillaging is done by amateurs who don't know any better, more serious
damage is wrought by professionals who dig deep, sometimes even using
backhoes..." ...(click on the above link for the

BLACK MESA COAL MINING
The controversy over coal mining by Peabody coal at Black Mesa continues. What many
do not realize is that precious groundwater is being mined also - mixed with the
coal to ship as a slurry. The plummetting water table is affecting both Hopi and
Navajo. This first website is run by Native youth out of Flagstaff, Arizona. Both
sites are well worth visiting.

NAVAJO-HOPI LAND DISPUTE
The Navajo-Hopi land dispute is finally being settled on paper. The article mis-speaks,
however, when it says it is a 40-year dispute. It has its roots in the drawing of
the Hopi reservation boundaries as a neat little box with no relation to the traditional
boundaries of Hopi land. And to aggravate matters, it contained some vague provisions
regarding "other Indians". That happened in 1882. Then no one enforced those boundaries
and the few Navajo who were on what was now Hopi land grew and in the 1920s, after years
of complaints from the Hopi BIA agents, Congress agreed to settle the issue and relocate
the Navajo families who resided there ...only they never appropriated the funds. And the
problem grew, or, as they say, justice delayed is justice denied.

Tohono O'Odham Nation Borders
The Tohono O'Odham Nation, having had a border bisect
their homeland in 1852 and isolate tribal members in Mexico, is having yet more difficulty
with border issues, being literally caught in the middle of immigration enforcement (and
lack of enforcement) issues in which they have little voice.
