The specialised travel agency <A HREF="http://www.cantours.de" TARGET="_new">Cantours</A> announced today not to organise any further travels into the disputed ski area of Sun Peaks. All offers have been removed from the homepage. Cantours is the first company to make this decision. The CEO shares the opinion of AGNAHR, that profits at the expense of Indigenous Peoples cannot be part of a decent company policy.
<P>
Cantours offers travel to a variety of Canadian provinces and territories. Persons interested in Canada travel in all seasons can look at the menu on the Internet. AGNAHR hopes that further companies will follow this lead.

Progress at the buffalo project in Pine Ridge: Action Group Native Americans & Human Rights e.V. supports a buffalo breeding project on the Lakota reservation in Pine Ridge, South Dakota with the proceedings from a raffle. Additional project obligations of the Indian partners (e.g. building of highly needed houses) indicated that we kept donations and raffle proceedings in trust until the organisational requirements in Pine Ridge could make the start of the fence building reasonable. Besides an estimate of costs AGIM was informed that the Lakota would receive five buffalo cows and one bull from national park stock for free to start their breeding efforts. After some years the same number of animals shall be returned to the national park administration.

A small revolution is taking place: Switzerland will join the UN. A thin majority of the Swiss (54,6%) voted for a membership with the United Nations this sunday, as have twelve states (cantons). Despite the fact that the UN have one of their head offices in Geneva, Switzerland, the alpine country has never been a member of the community of peoples. At the last referendum in 1986 a majority voted against membership. AGNAHR sends its greetings to the new 190th member of the world community!

The website of AGNAHR goes online again - with a mourning-edge and a call for a moment of silence on the front page:
<P>
»Action Native Americans & Human Rights is deeply shocked and profoundly moved by the incomprehensible cruelty, with which terrorists have killed such a vastly great number of innocent people in the United States. We mourn the dead and our thoughts and prayers go with all those affected.
<P>
Before you continue on this homepage, we ask you to join us in a moment of silence to mind the dead and wounded and their relatives and friends, and the self-sacrificing rescue teams. If you can, please donate blood and support the emergency teams. Thank you.«

The name of the organisation is being changed. »Big Mountain Action Group e.V.« will turn into »Action Group Native Americans & Human Rights e.V.«. A change of the statutes has accordingly been unanimously resolved by the Board of the organisation before todays General Meeting. During this assembly the resolution was presented to the members present. Members did not voice any concerns and there was unanimous consent. The agend item »Change of the organization's name« was communicated to all members duly in advance with the invitation to the General Meeting. Non-present members did not voice concerns before nor did anyone comment. Therefore the resolution will be implemented by Chairman Ludwig Seiller by changing the entry at the register of organizations at Munich Inferior Court.<P>
The change has been necessary for a long time, as Ludwig Seiller explained. The name stems from the first activities (that started before the legal foundation of the organization). Then the case of the Big Mountain Dineh (Navajo) was the first and only one that we took care of. Today this has changed, the organization cares about a great multiplicity of cases. The permanent need for explanation, what the name is all about, has become contraproductive. Indians tended to have the misunderstanding that the organization would focus on Big Mountain exclusively. In a nutshell: The name of the organization should reflect intention and aims, which is now the case.
