DescriptionPoster with illustration of a storm cloud filled with Native American men on horseback herding buffalo below and carrying rifles. A Navajo sun shield and eagles circle overhead, as the cloud emits rain and lightning above a landscape with heavy machinery. Text at right reads: "'Where will we all be 20-25 years from now when all the coal has been consumed, and the companies operating these gasification plants have cleaned up and moved away? There will be nothing there; they will be working elsewhere, and we will be sitting on top of a bunch of ashes, with nothing to live on.'" A list of names follows: Eugene La Mone, Wallace Deschilly, William Simmons, Mike Sells, William E. Tiger, Sam Henry, Harry Yazzie, Davis Henry, Pat Harvey, Todd Bates, Harold Deschilly, Dalvin Keeswood, Myron Deschilly, Benjamin Henry.On View
