In beloved memory of Floyd Red Crow Westerman (1936-2007)

"And I told them not to dig for uranium, for if they did, the children would die. They didn't listen, they didn't listen, they didn't listen to me. And I told them if the children die, there would be no keepers of the land. They didn't listen. And I told them if they destroy the sky, machines would come and soon destroy the land. They didn't listen... And I told them if they destroy the land, man would have to move into the sea. They didn't listen... And I told them if they destroy the sea -- they didn't listen..." -from the Floyd Westerman song "They Didn't Listen" as Westerman recited the lyric concluding his testimony in 1992 at the World Uranium Hearings in Salzburg, Austria.

“Y yo les dije que no extrajeran el uranio, pues si lo hicieran, los niños morirían. No escucharon, no escucharon, no me escucharon. Y yo les dije que si los niños murieran, no habría quien mantuviera la tierra. No escucharon. Y yo les dije que si destruían el cielo, las máquinas vendrían y pronto destruirían la tierra. No escucharon... Y yo les dije que si destruían la tierra, el hombre tendría que irse al mar. No escucharon... y les dije que si destruían el mar... ellos no escucharon” -de una canción de Floyd Westerman que recitó cuando concluyó su testimonio en 1992 en el Congreso del Mundo del Uranio en Salzburgo, Austria.
