Flint is the tip of the iceberg.

at least the iceberg is made of fresh water.

the results are just beginning to come out.

to show how much we care!

Does anyone remember that they had a debate in Indian Country, "Prez on the Rez" in 2007?
Kucinich, Gravel and Richardson showed up. Absent: Clinton, Obama, Edwards, Biden, Dodd. That's how much they cared. As President, Obama, bless him, has demonstrated his concern.

This year's candidates need to up their morality a bit and campaign where there are things that matter even if there aren't many votes.

Susana is wrecking NM like a wrecking ball.

Too many Native Americans still have no running water at all. So now, with the agreements the BLM has made with mining companies, what they do get will kill them. The Bureau of Land Management is supposed to administer and protect Native lands. Instead, they continue to sell the people out. For the privilege of nasty water, they probably get a few pennies that go into some "trust fund".

There is no question that they have been left behind by America. When I drive through, I think... before we bring Democracy to other countries, let's spend those tax dollars bringing it to the rest of America. The forgotten Americans.

and I recall, back in the late 1970s I hauled a full load of water PVC water pipe ti Fort Defiance, I'll never forget that, it was quite the experience. The location I delivered the pipe had no running water but they had bathrooms set up as though there was running water. And even more recently, a friend did their internship on the Navajo Nation, this was someone from French Camaroon mind you, when they returned I asked how it was. They just looked at me while slowly shaking their and said, "That place is like a third world country."

I recall seeing the videos from the aftermath of the mine contamination in Colorado that affected them, really pissed me off. And the one where they chased Senator McGoo off. Our government has a long, horrid history that keeps repeating itself... not gonna change unless we make it change.

agree that Flint is the tip of the iceberg

Infuriating!

... is despicable beyond words.

"No one" as in no one in authority from the Emergency Manager to the Governor to the uh head of the EPA did anything.

Same for the Navaho People and all the First American Nations, what Dr. Frantz Fanon said:



That poisoned uranium and copper comes straight outta the heart of the SOBs McCain fronts for, those behind "the intervention in Dallas."

I knew nothing about Flint until there were stories on it. I knew nothing of Navajo Water Supply problems until your post.

I know it's not your title.

We can't care until we know. Let's hope Flint gets everybody asking what else we don't know about.

A little village near me also has poisoned water. Hoosick Falls NY

people at least knew about. Tweeting this out to get more attention. I watched a documentary recently about the Native Tribes being exploited by giant Corps and Oil Companies. Their land is being destroyed, I think this is something that ought to be on every Democrat's agenda, to stop this criminal destruction of land and its people.

We know the Republicans won't care so there's only Dems who aren't too reliable on these issues either, yet.

out of the wigwam and gave them civilization. . .oh, and they owe us an apology for fighting with the British against us in the revolution.

I remember that skazwag saying that on the radio a few years back. So, the Navajo deserve it. If only they did the right thing and died in the Bosque Redondo after the Long March that murderer Kit Carson forced them on.

Can this be verified by anyone?

I have only heard my Indian friends use the term, I use it when in conversation with Indians and it is used in many of their songs.

My prayers of healing and love to them
