Washita Cuts Mother to the Bone


















It disturbs me greatly to witness first-hand 12 tractor-trailer loads of timber clear-cut from the forest of our beautiful Blue Ridge Mountains & foot-lands every working day. That's 60 trucks a week, 3,120 yearly for over the recent 2-years I have lived on US route 50. Stop it NOW! - SenecaWolf, 1/10/2010

"I feel pain and anger that in your rush toward development. the fabric of this globe has been rent, and what you call the biosphere, or ecosphere - but which my people more simply call Mother - has been so neglected and hurt....Our elders tell us we have to do more than save what is left of our traditional homelands. We need to contribute to an overall change of mind...so that human-kind can begin to initiate strategies which will preserve and sustain the environment that all cultures and nations share." - Ruby Dunstan, Lytton Indian Band
