To: Gale Norton's Confirmation HearingMembers of the United States Senate:
We, the undersigned, oppose the confirmation of Gale Norton to the Office of the Secretary of the Department of Interior and ask that you deny this appointment. Our opposition is based upon the following:
****Gale Norton, acting in her official and/or personal capacities, has demonstrated attacks upon Indian Nations and People's rights to self-determination and the exercise and entitlements secured by Treaties, by the Constitution of the United States and International Conventions for human rights and dignity of Indigenous Peoples and cultures.
****Gale Norton, acting in her official and/or personal capacities, has supported and is believed to continue to support denial of access to Sacred Lands and Sacred Sites for American Indian People to exercise freedom of religion by virtue of attempting to deny access to said Sacred Sites for traditional spiritual practices.
****Gale Norton, acting in her official and/or personal capacities, has demonstrated her willingness to commit ethnic and/or cultural destruction by disregard to cultural, social, and political processes of indigenous People living in remote Artic regions impacted by Gale Norton's environmental policies and Gale Norton's interventions to deprive indigenous Peoples protection of adequate marine resources to sustain local economies and survival..
****Gale Norton, acting in her official and/or personal capacities, has demonstrated her willingness to undermine protections for threatened and/or endangered species and of habitat that would protect and preserve such species of life.
****Gale Norton's platform of the "wise use movement" and Anti-Indian sentiments did not receive the majority of national votes and it is now expected of the United States Senate by the undersigned to confirm only appointments which reflect this political reality in the United States and to insist on a Cabinet which reflects this truth as demonstrated by the majority vote of the citizens of the United States. The voice of the majority of the United States citizens must be acknowledged and recognized by denying the confirmation of Gale Norton.
Respectfully Submitted
on the behalf of the below signed,
and on behalf of the next Seven Generations,
