There are some things and places that just cannot be sold or bought and to those of us that are native our sacred places cannot be sold or bought. Would you dig up a cemetery to extract minerals from underneath it, displacing all of those ancestors that had been buried there, would you tear down a church because it sits on top of some rich minerals. These are sacred places and should be respected as such. It would seem as though people today have no respect for the sacred places and ancient rituals of the indigenous people.

They don't. People also have no respect for Mother Earth. In a way, it reminds me of the book The Giving Tree.

Good news. It will help bring awareness to the fight to save it.
that's a good start..
