>I just got a message from Rita Sebastian that the BIA confiscated
30 sheep
>and 3 horses belonging to Rena Babbitt Lane, and are holding
them at Keams
>Canyon. Rena was also threatened by the BIA who told her that
if she signs
>the "Accommodation Agreement" she'll get a permit
to keep some of her
>animals, but if she doesn't sign, the BIA will confiscate
ALL her livestock
>in 5 days. This is illegal and even against the ordinance
under which the
>BIA is carrying out these so-called "impoundments,"
which are really
>intended to starve and destroy the Dine' and all those who
resist
>expulsion.
>
>It will cost $1,200 to ransom back these animals from the
BIA. We need to
>raise the money as fast as possible.
>
>Please spread the word... Also, Sen. McCain, who's running
for president,
>will be at the Borders Bookstore on School Street in Boston
on Friday,
>9/25, from 12:15 to 2 p.m. and we are organizing a demonstration
here.
>McCain was the main supporter and architect of the 1996 Accommodation
>Agreement in Congress, and is the key person in the Congress
to whom
>everyone else in Congress defers on this issue of what is
being done to the
>people and the land of Black Mesa.
