We are Finisia Medrano & Mikhailia Garesa. What this is, is a letter of intention and and invitation to participate and help with this effort. What this effort is, will be a returning to a traditional, symbiotic walk and life way that was practice here in the Great Basic for tens of thousands of years.

We are belting our lives on one hell of a past. It is difficult to me hopeful or optimistic and move forward in a positive way when we consider the fates of all these who lives this way and died for their freedom of conscience, but this is what me must do.

We cannot hope to have family or clan or people in this life way as long as current policies act to disallow it. We are looking for meetings to work out the details that would allow for a people to live this way, exemptions to existing rules, laws, and regulations that are necessary to protect the environment from the many exploitative masses that those laws, rules and regulations are intended for. We hope to be recognized as exemptions so that we can find that redemption of humankind we need and that can only be done by changing the United States legacy of genocide against this life way. We see the human soul and the Earth itself crying out for such a renewal of a planting back symbiotic people on the land.

In that effort we will be walking from the Garden Wash at the south end of the Clover Mountains in East Nevada, up to the Snake Range and Mount Moriah. We hope to be left unmolested and even helped. But because special considerations would need to be made for us in this effort we will be carrying parts of an eagle we found dead and also a single shot weapon to provide only necessary meat. We have the knowledge and rootdiggers to live this way and will only eat that which is on the land, pine nuts, berries and biscuit roots. We will be planting these same things the whole walk.

We are not survivalists nor are we seeking conflict with authorities. We hope to follow our conscience only and would surrender if requird. This would not be what we want. This would be bad news to us. We hope for the good news that people in power agree with us that there needs tobe this kind of people living in this way who are self initiating and willing to sacrifice all of ourselves for the greater good. We are hoping at least to be left alone and possibly helped. We do this in the light of day because we are sure there is nothing evil in it or for us to hide. We ask for your help. We will be giving this letter to tribal governments, Forest Service, and BLM and local and state law enforcement. We are waiting for the biscuit roots to come before we go. We can be reached on the cell phone, #541-499-1499.

Thank you – We are hopeful and gambling our lives and future on one hell of a past.

Back in the 70’s the U.N. passed Anti-genocide laws. When the tribes in the U.S. went to the U.N. for justice under those laws they were told that the law did not cover them because it was not applicable retroactively. We have decided then that if we returned to our life way and were not allowed then the genocide is current and ongoing and not a thing of the past. We know that if the U.S. and it’s land policies continue to destroy the hoop and plants necessary to our life way their genocide is ongoing and not restricted to the past. We then have a case before the U.N.

Fin & Miki are not card carrying Indians who can legally carry the eagle on the hoop. They want to know if there are any traditionals who love the way of the ancestors enough to carry it. This is not a walk to Washington but a small 200 mile walk in the old ways. Who loves these old ways enough to walk with them? Are there any in-dios brave and in love with their traditions to walk with this white women? We plead for their help. These Christians only give their Jesus lip service . As Indians do we do the same to our mother Earth and father Sky? Who will put their ass behind their words?

Thank you --
