Defenders of the Black Hills
June 2011, Newsletter
At the first meeting of Defenders of the Black Hills in August, 2002, as we went around the room, each person spoke about what they could bring to the organization. One woman, who was disabled, said she couldn't do much but she could pray. Since that time, we have strongly encouraged prayer as one of the strongest things we could do since we are battling such formidable foes.

Today is a very good dayDear Defenders, Today is a very good day! The following article was sent by Board member, Harold One Feather, who has been fighting the uranium issue for more than a decade. He, along with others from Defenders, attended many hearings with the state of South Dakota regarding Powertech Uranium Corporation and uranium mining laws, where the treatment of the Defenders was abominable. Yet, neither he nor anyone else at any time lost their professional demeanor and self-respect. Harold's perseverance in continually sending research on many uranium issues to increase the awareness of these problems by the public, are now being talked about by many groups in South Dakota and is commendable. Thank you Harold, for all your great work!
