PARIS -- The EVE Auction in Paris continued the auction of Hopi and Navajo sacred items for the fourth year on June 27, 2014. This video reveals the genocide denier responsible for auctioning off sacred items of Hopi and Navajo. As Alan Leroy rips the posters from the wall, Klee Benally, Dine', tells the profiteer he is committing genocide.
Benally challenges the auctions.
Responding with racism and hostility, Leroy tells Benally, "You were never killed by anybody."
Benally says the items were stolen. "The burden of proof is on you. You are committing cultural genocide."
