Building the Border Fence on Native American Land

Lisa Votino-Tarrant writes about the a border fence that would cut off the Tigua tribe's access to sacred land over at Long Island WINS:

"For those that don't know, my background for the last 5 years includes fighting for Shinnecock rights (my husband is Shinnecock), especially for graves and sacred site protection. Last month I fumed in private over Michael Chertoff's comment that he would ignore over 30 laws to build the border fence. One of the laws he has decided doesn't matter is the American Indian Religious Freedom Act."
