Stop Navajo, Hopi genocide: Oppose the Kyl bill

Oppose the Kyl-McCain legislation settling water claims with the Navajo and Hopi tribes. Protect native peoples' water rights on their ancestral lands.

Why is this important?

The bill would give water rights that currently fall under native control to the power industry, and leave huge portions of both Navajo and Hopi peoples without any water access. They will have no way to water livestock, meaning that this bill will be a death sentence for thousands of sheep, goats, horses, and cows. Their way of life and livelihood depends on sheep, so this bill is an act of genocide.
