(NAME-MCE) "Four-lane Bypass Threatens Wetlands Near Haskell"

[KispokoT at aol.com]

Greetings,
 
An moving article about Native Students at Haskell Indian Nations  University 
is on the Indian Country  Website. The title is called  "Four-lane Bypass 
Threatens Wetlands Near Haskell" The link is:

   (Sorry, the copy and paste function won't work.) 
It's a testament to American Indian youth protecting their people and  
culture.  
 
The city of Lawrence, Kansas and the state want to build a bypass on the  
southern end of the campus. The road would split the campus and  go through a 
natural wetlands--one of the last in the state. The kids,  school, and community 
members have been protesting since 1985 and now  officials are putting the 
pressure on again. 
 
It also seems like an appropriate article as we listen to  the inspiration of 
Dr. Martin Luther King.
