Julene Bair Quotes

James Hoped The Newsletter Would Garner Support From Bahana, Or White People, To Stop A Town Well That The Bureau Of Indian Affairs Wanted To Dig And A Tower It Wanted To Erect To Store The Water. The Hotevilla Elders Were Willing To Lay Down Their Lives In This Battle. They'd Done It Before, Preventing The BIA From Bringing Electricity To The Village By Lying Down In Front Of Bulldozers. If That Well Went In, James Explained, People Would Waste Water. Their Spring Would Dry Out- An Unthinkable Tragedy, As It Would Make It Impossible For Them To Live There Any Longer. Could Two Cultures Be Any Different? I Now Wondered. We Were Taking Federal Money To Mine Water And Would Do So Until The Unlikely Day That Same Government Made Us Stop. The Hopi Had Been Trying To Prevent The Government From Giving Them A Well In The First Place.
