Our Land, Our Life

Another great film at Dreamspeakers, Our Land, Our Life, tells the story of Carrie and Mary Dann, sisters from the Western Shoshone Nation whose land was protected by the Treaty of Ruby Valley and threatened by the Federal Government. For those of you in Denver struggling against the international abuses of the Newmont Mining Corporation, the film will be of particular interest as Newmont was one of the profiteers from the land exploitation. This is a powerful story of Native resistance. To get involved in land struggles of the Western Shoshone go to the website of the Western Shoshone Defense Project.
