Native Americans Give Earth Day an Early Start in Nevada

[MindMover]

LAS VEGAS - Earth Day activities in Nevada get started today with a local tribe beginning a 50-mile march to the federal courthouse in Las Vegas to protest air pollution.

William Anderson, chairman of the Moapa Band of Paiutes, is calling it a cultural and healing march which begins on tribal land.

On Sunday, the Southwestern tribes are asking all Nevadans to join them at the courthouse for a rally against air pollution from the coal-fired power plant which operates next door to the tribe.

"That's where we're inviting the public to come out to go ahead and march with us, and let our concerns out; how we want to protect our environment, and protect our land to go ahead and breathe clean air."
