Help protect the sacred ways and keep the greed of the governments and the corporates from bringing terror to yet another country.

In every corner of the world, people have held certain places to be sacred: places that hold special meaning, where prayers are offered for the betterment of the community and the planet. These can be natural places such as mountains and waterfalls or include man made structures such as altars and temples. In this modern era of globalization where development is sought at all costs, places held sacred by cultures for thousands of years are being sacrificed in the name of "progress". But those that recognize the cultural and spiritual value of these sites are still with us and they are fighting to resist the trend to pave over their places of power and worship. Such an effort is happening at a heated pace over the Petroglyph National Monument in Albuquerque, New Mexico. We recently spoke with Laurie Weahkee, executive director of the Sacred Alliance for Grass Roots Equality (SAGE Council), about the importance of the area, the threats being faced and the resistance that's been organized.
