To everyone,

I just got a message that the BIA confiscated 30 sheep and 3 horses
belonging to elder and SDN leader Rena Babbitt Lane, and are holding them
at Keams Canyon. Rena was also threatened by the BIA who told her that if
she signs the "Accommodation Agreement" she'll get a permit to keep some of
her animals, but if she doesn't sign, the BIA will confiscate ALL her
livestock in 5 days. This is illegal even according to the ordinance under
which the BIA is carrying out these so-called "impoundments," which are
really intended to starve and destroy the Dine' who resist expulsion.

It will cost $1,200 to ransom back these animals from the BIA. We need to
raise the money as fast as possible. We also need to stop this campaign of
terror and undo the legislation that is at its root.

Please spread the word...

If you are with the press, please contact the SDN in Arizona and cover this
story, and come to the demonstration on Friday in Boston, where Sen. McCain
will be appearing.

Sen. McCain, who's running for president, will be at the Borders Bookstore,
10-24 School St. in Boston, MA, on Friday, 9/25, from 12:15 to 2 p.m., and
we are organizing a demonstration here. Anyone who's in the area, please
come. We need your presence and your voices. More info is available on
McCain's itinerary at his presidential campaign web site www.mccain2000.com

Sen. McCain was the main supporter and architect of the 1996 Accommodation
Agreement in Congress, and is the key person in the Congress to whom
everyone else in Congress defers on this issue of what is being done to the
people and the land of Black Mesa.

Please call me in Boston at 617-796-0396 tomorrow at work for more
details,
