There are still some people on
this planet whose family is alway

or lost, because they live with the
earth and sky. and their people have
since the beginning Generations
upon generations have lived in
thoughtful balance as part of the
world and it is perhaps art and
magic and science and spirit to them
You and I cannot put on this knowl
edge like an elk shirt W’e can only
guess and wonder at those who live
and die with this other greater
Mother
The land to the traditional
Shoshone is sacred it is the basis for
our lives T o lake away Ihe land is
to take away the lives of the pe<>ple
Raymond Vowel I. WSSLA. 1980
It is these people who feel the
desecration before the rest of us
when the earth and sky are sick
ened They see and hear and sense
the signs because they can (and we
cannot) and because they are there
Countries with nuclear capa
bililies seem to find the lands of
native peoples convenient for test
ing nuclear devices The Soviets
have tested in Kazakhstan and
NovayaZemyla China on the lands
of the Uygur; France tests in
Polynesia Great Britain first tested
on Aboriginal land in Australia and
now joins the United States in lest . A

In spring of 1954. in response

Phu, Admiral Arthur Radford. Chair
man of the Joint Chiefs of Staff,
proposed using tactical atomic weap
ons to relieve the French Discour
aging the idea. General MacArthur
wrote to Secretary of State John
<4 Foster Dulles, saying, among other
things, that the Soviet propoganda
machine would evidence our de

were testing out weapons on native

This began on Western

Do not believe anything sim
ply because you have heard it Do
not believe in traditions because
they have been handed d o w n for
many generations Do not believe in
anything simply because it is found
written in your religious bixiks Do
not believe in anything merely on
the the the authority of your teach
ers and elders But after
va
tion and analysis, when you find
that anything agrees with reason
and is conducive to the g o o d and
benefit of all then accept it and live
up to it
