| | Sacred Sites Under Attack, Native Religious Freedom (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13) |
 | | As Native peoples, we recognize our inherent responsibility to sacred landscapes, not only for our own survival but for the survival and vitality of the diverse ecosystems of life to which we are all related, mutually dependent, and culturally connected. |
 | | Our sacred homeland environments continue to be targeted for resource exploitation and corporate invasion in the name of progress, fed by the insatiable hunger of globalization. |
 | | So many sacred places are targeted for exploitation by nation state agencies, regional and multi-national corporate entities that at this very moment, sacred places of prayer, healing, burial, and history that resonate with the consciousness of Indigenous peoples are threatened with imminent destruction. |
