The only want that we can get his email address is to go to his website and email him through it.
Thanks, Deneb! The only thing that we can do is to continue to bring the Indian's plight to the attention of the government.
I am writing a book that primarily is a book of photographs of Indian rodeo and I've decided to write about the hardships of some of the families that I've met on the reservations. That is one way to get it out there.
An example of a hardship is that some Navajo families who want to go to the rodeo have to go to a KOA campground to shower and dress. They don't have running water. They haul it in big tanks on the back of their pickup trucks. It is for drinking and cooking. They can't afford to do their laundry...and how could they since they may not have electricity.
Deneb, about half of my good friends on the reservations do not have phones. I ask them to call me collect from pay phones and I then call them back at the PP......all of that money in interest bearing accounts that the BIA manages?? and people don't have the basic services that we take for granted.
