Sonoyta II


We stopped on the way to gather sage for the ceremony to begin our meeting.

Paramos en la ruta para recoger salvia por el rito para iniciar la reunion.

We went to Sonoyta to meet with the Papago and learn about their struggles. Their people were divided by the U.S./Mexican border, a serious problem now that the U.S. seems intent on abrogating the Jay Treaty giving free access to their people on either side.

Fuimos a Sonoyta para reunir a lso Papago y aprender de sus luchas. Su gente estaba dividida por la frontera entre E.U. y Mexico, un problema bien serio ahora porque el E.U. parece intentos quebrar el tratado Jay, dando acceso libre a su gente de los dos lados.

We also learned of the toxic waste dump (toxic waste from the U.S.) being put on their land without their approval or even consultation with them.

Tambien aprendimos sobre el basurero de los residuos toxicos (del E.U.) se esta' ubicando en su tierra sin su permiso ni su consulta.
