For over three years, the community of Chaco Rio, New Mexico, in the Diné (Navajo) Nation, has been blockading entry to the site of a proposed 1,500 megawatt coal-fired power plant. Desert Rock, a project of Sithe Global and the Diné Power Authority, would be the third coal plant within a 20-mile radius in a region already suffering from extreme levels of toxic emissions.
Elouise Brown, a Diné (Navajo) traditionalist and president of the Dooda Desert Rock committee, will embark on an 11-day speaking tour of California to speak about dangers posed by the coal industry, thenexploitation of indigenous land by energy companies, and the ongoing struggle to prevent the Desert Rock plant from ever existing. Her presentation will include three short films.
