(Hopi on Coal Mine Black Mesa)
Black Mesa is the generic name of a vast region situated north of the Hopi mesas, which counts numerous plateaus mesas , canions, hills and ravines.
It's name come from its juniper forests appearing dark on the horizon contrasting with the bright pastels and colorful strata of the Painted desert just south of there.
Black Mesa also gets the name from the colour of its soil, being one of the biggest coal deposit on the planet, a form of high quality anthracite extensively mined in major operations.
Since ancient daysbthe Hopi used coal as combustible, picked up from the surface deposits since trees are rare in the arid regions.
Later a network of twenty mines and fourteen refineries on thebreservatiins constituted the largest polluting industrial complex on the planet replaced only by the target sands of Alberta.
Big Mountain and Black Mesa are considered some of the most sacred places by both Hopi and Dine (native American nations).
The expansion of open pit coal mines and uranium mines, the increasing radioactive pollution, the expulsion of the majority of their relatives and arbitrary confiscation of their livestock, the destruction of their burial lodges and sacred sites, the escalation of the repression and the continues police harasmentmade almost impossible the conditions in which had to live the last families of resistors refusing to leave their ancestral land.
The governments agents could at any time confiscate their herds, while bulldozers could arise at any random time without warning and level their habitations, ceremonial hogans, or simply uproot century old juniper and bury vegetation.
The grandmother's were gettingfined for merely gathering dead firewood while three hundred miles of barbed wire fence was randomly built across their lands, to mark an arbitrary and virtually administrative border, Separating families and neighbors, and blocking herds on their grazing routes.
