The Red Nation: John Redhouse remembers Larry Casuse By Brenda Norrell Censored News John Redhouse, Dine', remembers Larry Casuse, Dine', and the movement for the people which Larry sacrificed his life for. Larry had a "certain light around him," John remembers. Larry was a rising star and a leader. "He was a leading voice," John said, remembering Larry as a voice against the exploitation by the Gallup Ceremonial and Peabody Coal mining on Black Mesa, which the Navajo government had sold out to. Even back then, Larry spoke of the need for solar and wind as energy sources. "When your back is against the wall, you have to fight back," John said. It is necessary to strike back like a snake to defend the sacred. |
