"In their long fight to remain on ancestral lands, Navajo dissenters opposed to forced relocation hope the United Nations will take up their cause." With map. --By Daniel B. Wood Staff writer of The Christian Science Monitor (Tuesday, January 26, 1999) "The story of this country, the coal mine, and a group of Navajo families is a morality play of the American Southwest - one rooted, as is often the case in this part of the country, in a pitched battle over how to use the land. "This story encompasses every key dynamic of the postwar West - cultural change, redistribution of wealth and power, transition from agrarian to industrial society,limited resource bases, and questionable futures," says historian Catherine Feher-Elston." UNLIKELY REBEL: Photo "Sally Young, a Navajo elder, says a nearby coal-fed power plant has polluted her Arizona homeland. Protesters say coal mining is also behind the forced relocation of 125 Navajo families."
