Camp Anna Mae Decimated and Desecrated.
Is it coincidence that the scars left at this sacred site by HTC and BIA are reminiscent of
Peabody's Strip Mine?  Is this the Beast's signature?

 DEFENDING OUR FREEDOM TO WORSHIP
Against the Beast In Amerikkka

Our heartfelt thanks to Ms. Brenda Norrell, Black Mesa Indigenous Support, the
residents of Black Mesa, and others for their courage reporting and documenting
on film, in writing, and on audiotape, the blatant violation of the Constitutional,
Civil, and human rights of Dine'h and others who chose to join them in giving 
thanks to Creator. Thank you for sharing this news with us.

If Indigenous Nations are to protect their right to worship Creator according to
cultural tradition or as the individual sees fit, we cannot afford to let this crime
go unanswered. The Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA) and its "Hopi Tribal Council"
must be held accountable for their acts of terrorism. If this happened anywhere
else in the world, the government and individuals responsible would be labeled
as "TERRORISTS," hunted down, and punished for such a blatant violation of
basic human rights. In the United States, however, the BIA is a government
agency--an agency of a government that promises "liberty and justice for all."
This makes the atrocity all the more heinous and strongly suggests that the
nation's government has absolutely no regard for its own laws or the welfare of
the citizens that it serves.

The destruction of Camp Anna Mae is not only an act of terrorism, it is the same
racist hate crime as the Ku Klux Klan's burning and bombing of black churches. 
Camp Anna Mae is a holy sanctuary for the worship of Creator. By destroying
Camp Anna Mae, the BIA has proven itself to be nothing more than a federally
approved KKK, a racist terrorist agency--a Beast In Amerikkka.

As for the so-called "Hopi Tribal Council (HTC)," or "Hopi Tribe," as it calls itself,
it has brought shame and dishonor to the name "Hopi" and to all Indigenous
Americans. If the spiritual teachings and prophecies of the Hopi Medicine People
are to be believed, then the HTC has proven, by the destruction of Camp Anna
Mae, that it is NOT a representative of the Hopi People, that it is nothing more
than a tool created by Peabody Coal and the BIA to do their will and open up
more land for Peabody to mine and the N-aquifer for unhindered use in the coal
slurry.

SENAA International will join with other Indigenous Americans and with other
supporters to demand that the charges of criminal trespass against the cited 
worshipers be dropped, that persecution of Dine'h and their supporters stop, that
the BIA and HTC be made to supply the materials and labor to rebuild the
Sundance Arbor and other destroyed structures at Camp Anna Mae, and that 
Dine'h rights to freely exercise the sacred ceremonies of their choice and to have
fellow worshipers join them for Ceremony be honored and upheld without
further interference from the BIA, HTC, or any other agency of the United States
government or Peabody Coal.
