****PLEASE READ, WATCH, AND SHARE!! EDUCATE YOURSELF ON ISSUES WE FACE TODAY.***** We left our homes to get a higher education with ambitions to help our people after we graduated... but the FIGHT is NOW!!! Our people need our help defending our rights that our ancestors fought for. We need to ensure that our future generations know the power of EDUCATION and UNITY. To show this power we are calling for NAU, ASU, the UofA and all Community Colleges to collaborate in a photo project that can be submitted to all major newspapers (Indigenous and Non-Indigenous) to draw awareness to this issue; and hopefully attract support. Please submit pictures of protestors, signs, anything that you can think of to make a powerful statement! We are the youth, we are the future, and this issue affects us directly... so we need to face it head on and educate as many people as possible!!! John Mccain and Jon Kyl think we arent a factor because we are young, we need to prove them wrong!!! **UPLOAD YOUR PICS TO THIS PAGE!!!!** WHAT IS SB2109??: Senate Bill 2109 45; the “Navajo-Hopi Little Colorado River Water Rights Settlement Act of 2012″ was introduced by Kyl and McCain on February 14, 2012, and is on a fast track to give Arizona corporations and water interests a “100 th birthday present” that will close the door forever on Navajo and Hopi food and water sovereignty, security and self-reliance. S.2109 asks the Navajo and Hopi peoples to waive their priority Water Rights to the surface waters of the Little Colorado River “from time immemorial and thereafter, forever” in return for the shallow promise of uncertain federal appropriations to supply minimal amounts of drinking water to a handful of reservation communities.-Ed Becenti
