Afterword - Arizona

In the 4 years since I finished this book, we've moved back to our family's
ancestrial home of Flagstaff. A far more complete narrative of Arizona is contained in
the 4 published volumes of THE FLAGSTAFF QUARTET [Apex Reviews]. The
Amerikans of Errorzona have recently shown their true colors in a racist new
'Immigration Bill' that has caused a furor around the world, accurately comparing
Arizona - and the USA - to an Apartheid State, especially, most recently, to Latinos.
This of course has long been the treatment of Native Hopis, Navajo-Dinees,
Havasupais, Apaches, and the many other ancient peoples here who revere the San
Francisco Peaks above Flagstaff, especially sacred. So of course the Amerikans want
to use sewage water to make artificial snow at the Snowbowl Ski Area, and the US
courts have said that's just fine. [see http://www.savethepeaks.org]

In the matter of Ward Churchill and Anna Mae Aquash, Churchill has achieved
national notoriety as the academic darling of 'leftist' free speech, and another trial
has come and gone in the Aquash case, this time with a jury in Rapid City's federal
court finding Richard Marshall [ a dear old Lakota friend of one Russell Means] 'not
guilty' of aiding and abetting John Graham in her assassination. Graham is awaiting
his latest "trial' on July 6, 2010 in South Dakota state court, along with,
astonishingly, my old ex-friend Thelma Rios, ex-wife of David Hill, lately accused by
the US Gov't last year also of aiding and abetting! [see the John Graham Defense
Committee website for a very complete list of court documents,
http://www.grahamdefense.org] Churchill of course has remained silent about any of
these watershed AIM events of the murder case, as well as the Arizonan travesties
and many other seminal issues in indigenous amerika.
