The Indigenous Environmental Network is sponsoring the 7th Annual Protecting Mother Earth Conference from June 13 through the 16, hosted by the Eastern Cherokee Defense League. According to Missy Crowe, spokesperson for the Defense League and coordinator of the event (along with Lisa Montelongo), a wide variety of people from as far away as Canada, South America, the Pacific Islands, Hawaiian Islands, Denmark, Holland, New Zealand, and elsewhere are planning to attend the conference. Crowe says she expects to see anywhere from 1500 to 3000 indigenous people in attendance. The site is centrally located within the tribes of the east coast. "Our Rivers Are Life" is the theme of the conference sponsored by the Indigenous Environmental Network (JEN). Organizers plan to hold the outdoor conference gathering in the Big Cove community along the Oconaluftee River. There is no fee for attending the conference, but donations for the camping facilities will be appreciated. While all people are welcome to attend the conference, Crowe says they plan to focus on indigenous peoples from around the globe. There will be an information fair, with representatives from numerous races and tribes, as well as Native community-based educational workshops in areas of environmental protection, traditional ecological knowledge, natural resource management, protection of endangered species, sustainable development, community- based organizing, and networking. There will also be additional educational sessions concerned with the link between health and the environment. Such sessions will focus on the impacts of dioxin, toxics and radioactive poisoning of indigenous peoples. The "Ani-a-wiya," or the "principal people," as the Eastern Band of Cherokee People refer to themselves, claim that their people have suffered a long history of exploitation and "ecological destruction as a result of the pulp and paper production, logging, tourism, copper mining, and nuclear industry." Such exploitation has resulted in contamination of their air (acid rain), poisoning of their rivers, and loss of fish, animal and plant species. The annual Protecting Mother Earth Conference is concerned with these issues and more to come in the future.

Biking Action by James Gray Staff Reporter Students here at Western have the opportunity to enjoy some the best mountain biking trails in the United States. Western North Carolina probably has the greatest concentration and variety of trails of any region in the United States. You don't even need to load your bike up and pile into the car to enjoy a great ride— one of the best trails in the area is within riding distance of campus. The trail begins at Cane Creek Road, which splits off of the stretch of Old Cullowhee Road between campus and Sylva. About a mile after this road begins climbing the mountain it turns to gravel and dirt. Riders should have at least moderate skill and endurance levels to attempt this ride. The first few miles of this trail vary from a steep to gradual uphill climb. This, along with a few spots that require some technical maneuvering to get through, make this somewhat of a cna - lenge. Once you reach the top of the mountain, there are a few miles of fairly level terrain to cross before beginning a fast and furious downhill run that brings you to the ATV parking lot the top of Wayehutta Road. , The Forest Service land at the top Speedwell and Tilley Creek roads has.miles trails and old logging roads that are a less stre ous ride for beginning and intermediate n ^ These trails are relatively smooth and there ^ few steep inclines. This is also the locatl0.n.e) the fabled "goat trails" (a very challenging" $ There are a number of other great pi ^ to ride in this general area, too, >nc,udl"gwil.
