1:31:02
We're angry because we're all being
chemically and genetically damaged...

1:31:06
...and we don't even realize it.
1:31:08
Unfortunately, this will affect our children.
1:31:11
We go to work each day
and right under our noses...

1:31:13
...we see our car and the car in front of us
spewing noxious, poisonous gases...

1:31:18
...that are all accumulative poisons.
1:31:20
These poisons kill us slowly,
even when we see no effect.

1:31:24
How many of us would've believed
if we were told 20 years ago...

1:31:28
...that on a certain day we wouldn't be able
to see 50 feet in front of us...

1:31:32
...that we wouldn't be able
to take a deep breath...

1:31:34
...because the air would be a mass
ofpoisonous gas.

1:31:37
That we couldn't drink out of our faucets...
1:31:39
...that we'd have to buy water
out of bottles.

1:31:42
Our most common and God-given rights
have been taken away from us.

1:31:46
Unfortunately...
1:31:47
...the reality of our lives is so grim
that nobody wants to hear it.

1:31:51
I've been asked what we can do.
1:31:53
I think we need a responsible body
of people that can actually represent us...

1:31:58
...rather than big business.
1:31:59
This body ofpeople must not allow...
1:32:01
...the introduction of anything into our
environment that is not biodegradable...

1:32:06
...or able to be chemically neutralized
upon production.

1:32:10
Finally, as long as there's profit to be made
from the polluting of our earth...

1:32:14
...companies and individuals will continue
to do what they want.

1:32:18
We have to force these companies
to operate safely and responsibly...

1:32:22
...with all our best interests in mind,
so that when they don't...

1:32:26
...we can take back our resources and our
hearts and our minds, and do what's right.

1:32:33
Kompasla, the great spirit,
I ask you to bless all the people here...

1:32:38
...all the grandmas, all the grandpas,
and the little ones.

1:32:41
We have the four directions...
1:32:43
...and I want to bless...
1:32:45
...the future generation
and the lndian nation, our people...

1:32:50
...to be strong again.
1:32:52
Spotted Eagle...
1:32:54
...the earth is our grandma.
