[Awclist] Grand Canyon - Little Colorado - FW: from GCRG the latest on the Confluence issue

[R/C Southwick]

The Grand Canyon Escalade - did I say Escapade - small spelling error! Large
mistake for the Confluence

This was one of the things Kevin Fedarko was speaking about.
Links to follow and things to consider.

Subject: the latest on the Confluence issue

As the fight to oppose the Grand Canyon Escalade development at Little
Colorado River continues, we'll do our best to keep you up to date.  
Here are a few things of note:

1) the All Pueblo Council of Governors voted unanimously to oppose the
Escalade development!  You can read about that here:

ml?spref=fb

2) American Rivers has a new petition against the Escalade development that
you can sign:

3) Check out the recent blog by our friends at the National Parks
Conservation Association: 
http://parkadvocate.org/a-double-threat-to-an-american-icon/

Please know that the Grand Canyon Trust, along with organizations like GCRG,
American Rivers, NPCA, the Grand Canyon Wildlands Council and others are
doing what we can to support the Navajo families of the 
Confluence area as they continue to fight this outrageous proposal.   It 
is a very challenging and delicate issue as the NPCA blog explains.   
We'll see what happens after the Navajo elections in November...  and we'll
continue to keep you informed in the meantime!
