“We have been living in silence and we have been dying in silence. We want to share with others our struggle. If we walk alone, we are useless, we are nothing,” Leonard Benally said.

Dine' Leonard Benally of Big Mountain, who spent his life fighting Peabody Coal and resisting relocation from his homeland, passed to the Spirit World on Friday. Leonard's family spent the past decades resisting relocation from Black Mesa and naming the names of those responsible for the misery that Navajos are surviving, including tribal politicians, attorneys, and Arizona Congressmen.
