Connection

I keep hearing about the dominant culture attempting to utilize, usually for short-term capital gain, and alter some parcel of land that native people consider sacred.  For example the San Francisco Peaks, the area around the Grand Canyon or the potential copper deposits under the land of the San Carlos Apaches.  I recognize that these are complex issues but there is generally little recognition that we are all connected and connected to the earth, on which we depend.  There is also little recognition that we essentially stole the land from native people and are now using the same land for our personal profit.
