From Leslie Andrews:

This is the flyer for the Save the Peaks Awareness concert to be held on November 10, 2005-Denver, CO.

Hey everybody!

Next week our friends from Flagstaff, Blackfire (remember Klee Bennally who spoke at the capitol on C-Day?-this is his siblings' and his band) will come throught Denver long enough for us to put on a great awareness concert (we will give proceeds to the Save the Peaks Coalition).

It is up to us to support this important and pressing issue of Indigenous religious freedom and cultural sovereignty. So everyone please come out to the show, and bring friends, family, and anyone who you'd like. This means-send out emails, call people, print out this rad flyer (attached) and distribute-I need all the help I can get, so if you have time to help, I can also use volunteers!

We will have a blast and be a part of a growing movement to end the desecration of the San Francisco Peaks. Here's some info about the event-see you there!

WHAT: Save the Peaks Awareness Concert/Film Screening.

We will watch the "Snowbowl Effect" (56 mins), the documentary directed by Klee Bennally that shows the struggle in AZ between Indian tribes, environmental groups & individuals, against the Forest Service to stop contaminated wastewater from being used to make snow for skiing on the mountains sacred to 13 Indian tribes. Klee, Geneda,and Clayson Bennally will be there for questions after, as they grew up fighting many despicable government actions and especially the Snowbowl. After the film, we will hear from two bands: Half BLind, a "junk" (jazz+punk) rock band with political/philosophical leanings from Boulder; and Blackfire, a Native fire ball punk band, who we've seen in past years at Indigenous Reistance concerts here, and are gaining play internationally.

WHEN: November 10th, 2005, 8:30 pm

WHERE: St Francis Conference Center, Auraria Campus
900 Auraria Pkwy, Denver, CO 80204

There is a suggested $5 donation (more is fine, too!). Since this is an awareness concert, we'd love to be able to give the Save the Peaks Coalition as much as we can, but we also want you to have fun and learn about this pressing case, so I won't be turning anyone away.
