International Day of Action Against Peabody Coal Co.
Wednesday, October 8
Background:
"I was born here. I'm not from anywhere .... We
are pushed into a place where we are manipulated, and no place are from
the mining blasts, and livestock reduction from the Hopi. This has caused
me heart ache. They say we are in the way of progress. Peabody says we have
to move because we have to strip mine here. Our mom and dad told me the
land here, the sage, the plants makes me remember my mother. The pressure
on HPL, now they are telling me the land, the water is contaminated from
the mining complex, the air is polluted. It bothers me from the bottom of
my feet to the top of my head. We were told to live this life from the bottom
of my feet to the top of my head."
Maxine Kescoli, Testimony given Nov. 3, 1996
