Spiritual Gathering at Dooda Desert Rock in November 2008

Navajos, defending the land and people from another coal-fired power plant in the Four Corners area, invite you to join them:
To: All Spiritual Healers and DDR Supporters
From: Elouise Brown, Dooda Desert Rock

As President of Dooda (NO) Desert Rock [“DDR”], I am pleased and honored to have this opportunity to invite you to join us November 8, 9, 10, and 11, 2008 for the 2nd annual Shundiin’s Mission Spiritual gathering at the Dooda Desert Rock Camp in Chaco Rio, New Mexico. As we come together to bless Mother Earth and reaffirm our commitment to resistance and action to prevent the construction of the desert rock energy plant, we welcome all faiths.

All tribes, races and faiths are encouraged to come together to pray in an honest spirit of unity with the DDR’s determined effort to resist further attacks on our lands and peoples. We have already had positive responses from tribes as far away as Canada who will be joining us to support our efforts to protect our Navajo Homeland from environmental destruction. There are plenty of spaces for all campers without reservations. Please contact us as soon as possible, if you need to reserve a teepee set-up slot, or other space you will need for ceremonial services.

Transnational corporations serviced by government officials are denying environmental justice, and the health of our children and heart of our homeland are at stake. Our Navajo leaders are forsaking Traditional Ways to take corporate money to poison our land, foul our air, and steal our waters. This abuse must STOP!

We vow Dooda’ (NO) Desert Rock, and we look forward to welcoming friends and fellow travelers to our Camp in a celebration of renewal and a spirit of steadfast resistance to the global energy industry’s soulless culture of death.

Please bring your own camping gear, chairs, and eating utensils. Because we will be serving food to all visitors, we appreciate any donations of food, financial contributions, or firewood for this four day event. Out of respect for our private and sacred ceremonies, we kindly ask that there be no recording of any kind. This includes photographs, videos, and audio recordings

We thank you for your support and prayers, and we invite each and every one of you to visit our beautiful homeland to see first hand the assault we are under and the threats we face. We look forward to meeting you at the Camp in November. Traveling Together in the time of Shundiin’s Mission, we will honor our ancestral home the health of our children’s children.

May you travel in the paths of the corn pollen!
