By Brenda Norrell
Dine’ chased Arizona Sen. John McCain off the Navajo Nation on Friday, yelling at him that the days of coming on the Navajo Nation to steal land and water rights, and carry out ecocide and genocide, are over.
Dine’ (Navajo) protesters blocked McCain's speech and chased after his car, yelling at him that neither him nor the corporations he represents are welcome here.
Dine' protesters posted photos and video on the Internet of chasing McCain's car off the Navajo Nation Capitol of Window Rock, Arizona. Watch video of Dine' chasing after McCain's car and see more photos:

Adriano Tsinigine said he posed for a photo with McCain, then pulled out his card supporting Apaches at Oak Flat. Apaches are defending sacred land from McCain's copper mine that he sneaked through in the defense bill.
Tsinigine compared McCain to a ma'ii, coyote.

Dine’s voeren actie in Window Rock tegen John McCain’s ‘ecocidal’ en ‘genocidal’ beleid.
Vandaag (14 augustus 2015) verzamelden leden van verschillende inheemse naties zich in het Navajo Nation Museum, in collectieve solidariteit rond de bescherming van het water, verzet tegen de extractie van hun bronnen en gesloten deur overeenkomsten.
De meeting van Senator John McCain moest verplaatst worden naar het auditorium terwijl buiten demonstranten hun bedoelingen duidelijk kenbaar maakten met hun protest en liederen.
“ Wij staan op als de nieuwe leiders van onze volken, in solidariteit met onze inheemse broeders en zusters, en we beginnen alvast met staat en federale politiekers en hun corporate vrienden de toegang tot onze thuislanden te weigeren. Zij die er verantwoordelijk voor zijn dat ons volk vergiftigd en uitgehongerd wordt, in armoede worden gehouden en gedwongen worden om weg te trekken uit onze sacrale gebieden, zijn niet welkom hier!! Wij zullen onze macht teruggrijpen en onze thuislanden herstellen, wij zullen zorg dragen voor ons water, onze mensen en onze sacrale sites beschermen, en een nieuwe generatie van jongeren opleiden die dit model van uitbuiting en hebzucht zal veranderen.” (collectieve stem van hen die verenigd zijn in solidariteit)
Adriano Tsinigine zei: “ Mijn solidariteitactie met de Navajo Nation. Ik heb mr. McCain ontmoet en vroeg of hij met me op de foto wou staan. Toen haalde ik mijn ‘Protect Oak Flat’ kaart uit mijn zak en toen hij die zag keek hij me recht in de ogen en zei”Maak dat je hier weg komt, Nu!”. Haha, deze ma’li (Coyote) heeft duidelijk schrik van ons.”

On August 25th, young people and allies from across the Midwest will join together in Washington, DC for Midwest Unrest, an action to demand an immediate stop to the Enbridge corporation's illegal Alberta Clipper tar sands scandal in Minnesota. Secretary of State John Kerry has the power to stop Enbridge from continuing to sneak tar sands oil through our backyard -- we are coming to his front door to make sure he knows where we stand.
In early September, our ongoing lawsuit against the Alberta Clipper pipeline will reach federal court in Minneapolis. It's up to us to ensure that Secretary Kerry stands on our side, reverses the State Department's tacit approval of Enbridge's illegal scheme, and stops the Alberta Clipper. While we await a decision from the administration on Keystone XL, it is unacceptable for the State Department to turn a blind eye and allow this tar sands expansion across the border via this scheme.
