A PRESENTATION ABOUT RESISTANCE TO
ENERGY DEVELOPMENT ON INDIGENOUS LAND

The community of Chaco Rio in the Navajo Nation (SW of
Farmington, New Mexico) has been blockading entry to
the site of a proposed 1,500 megawatt coal fired power plant
since December of 2006. Desert Rock would be the third coal
plant within a 20-mile radius, in a region already suffering from
extreme levels of toxic emissions.

SPEAKER: Elouise Brown

Elouise Brown is a Diné (Navajo) traditionalist and president
of the Doodá Desert Rock committee. She will speak about
dangers posed by the coal industry, the exploitation of indigenous land by energy companies, and the ongoing struggle to prevent the Desert Rock plant from ever existing.
