Indigenous Communities Resist Border Wall & Militarization - Weds., August 27 7:00 pm
Leaders and members of three Native American communities will speak out against the devastation being caused by the on-going militarization of the US/Mexico Border. Indigenous people and their lands, migrants and other members of communities at the border are being hurt and impacted by the wall-building, “free” trade and the deepening miilitarization of border and immigration control.
Come and hear what the debate on "securing the border," "increased surveillance," "virtual walls" , etc., means to people living in the US militarized zone, on the front line.
Our esteemed guests are:
Margo Tamez (Lipan Apache, Jumano Apache, El Calaboz and Redford, TX)
Michael Paul Hill (Chiricahua Apache, AZ/NM), and
Enrique Madrid (Jumano Apache, Redford TX)
