WINDOW ROCK, Navajo Nation -- Dine' rallied outside the Navajo Nation Council today, opposing Navajo President Buu Nygren's new push for coal mining in Washington. Nygren was a no-show at the Navajo Nation Council, even though the Navajo Council issued a subpoena for him to give his report to the spring session in person.

Robyn Jackson, Dine' CARE executive director, said Dine' don't have enough water for farming, and many do not have running water in their homes. Now, the Navajo Nation government wants to try experimental carbon sequestration, and helium and hydrogen development projects that require lots of water.

NEW YORK -- Indigenous women from the far north in Russia and deep in the Amazon, and from every region of the world, spoke on the beauty and strength of Indigenous women as caregivers and wisdom holders, urging respect and real dialogue, as the United Nations Permanent Forum on Indigenous Issues began on Monday in New York.

Bolivia's representative said, "Indigenous women have always been looking after the land, sowing seeds, speaking our languages, healing with our plants, we've been caring for others, and we've been caring for our daughters, our sons, and we are at the very heart of our community."
