Bonnie Whitesinger in Coma

Blessings All
Thu, 08 Dec 2005

I received an early morning call today from Bob Chaat, Bonnie Whitesinger's husband. He told me that Bonnie had a heart attack while on dialysis yesterday and tho doctors revived her heart, she remains in a coma. She was flown to the hosptial in San Juan, New Mexico.

I ask any so moved to pray for her and her family. Their lives have been filled with one tragedy after another directly related to the pressures of relocation, loss of land, dignity and a beautiful way of life. This is the case for many families impacted by the genocidal policies of the US government and it's corporate backers.

Bonnie, Bob and the kids moved to Tuba City a few months ago. One day she called and i also talked to Bob, who told me that 3 people had been stabbed to death within a few blocks of where they moved to. Today he told me the place is filled with misery. Many Native Americans from that region have died in Iraq. Tuba is plagued with crystal meth, alcohol and violence. The gencide lives on.....

My heart deeply aches right now in these very bleak and horrid times. What will become of the children? What have we done? What does the future hold? The Elders have been silenced and the killing continues everywhere. A Dineh homeless woman was murdered in Seattle and then set on fire to hide the evidence. I wonder what her story was.... .Seattle Women In Black will be vigiling for her and i hope to join them. I just do not know what to do anymore.

In peaceful struggle, swaneagle
