Over 14,000 Navajo people were and continue to be forcibly relocated from their ancestral homes in an area disputed between the Navajo and Hopi.

Read about genocide right here in America.

Then learn more about the sustainable green lifeways of the Dine centered on achieving and maintaining balance and beauty - Nizhoni - at http://www.navajolifeway.org/

Plan for this year's Sheep is Life Festival in June.

    • C'est rien. You're welcome.

      You are right. Forced relocation is happening in Mexico and throughout the world.

      Colonization and genocide continues in the 21st century.

    • good info, thanks for the links.
      - Anyone's that's been to the areas of (Mexico's) Cabo, Cancun and Punta Mita (north of puerto vallarta) were once home to indigenous populations for centuries, and in the same manner forced out with no choice, petitions etc.
      The most recent one with the Huichol population, is now a 'lush getaway' aka the four seasons, in the state of Nayarit. Different country, similar human condition.
